The right to be against any solution:

I’ve been told that I am full of nonsense.  That is simply not true, because I know what I stand for.  We all know that when you don’t stand for something, you will fall for any old nonsense.  So let me prove to you that I am a no-nonsense sort of guy by telling you what I stand for:
I’m against this stupid healthcare bill... until I fall ill.

I’m against government meddling in the economy... until I lose my job.

I’m against higher taxes... until I need unemployment relief.

I’m against road taxes... until I hit a pothole.

I’m against regulated businesses... until I get scammed.

I’m against gun control... until I get shot.

There you have it.  What do you mean that you still don’t know what I stand for?  It’s perfectly clear, isn’t it?  I stand for the right to be against any solution, until I get hurt by the problem.
