It'd be propaganda if it wasn't true. It'd be nonsense if it were illogical. No one says 2 + 2 = 4 is propaganda.

The same is true when I say something like "rights, in order to be true rights, require the elements of being specific to the individual, defined, and infinitely available."

Examples:
Life is a right because you can exercise it without taking life from someone else, it is specific to the individual, and you can easily define it for practical purposes.
Health Care cannot be a right because it is a service, one that often requires specific products to be procured, and almost always by other individuals.
Even "access to health care" cannot be a right because you still run into the problem of requiring another person to procure it.
Marriage cannot be a right because it is a relationship, and therefore cannot be specific to an individual.
You can have a "right to marry" because it is individual, but such a right really is more a subset to the right to free association, and associations that are public are subject to a publicly debatable conception of their definition and parameters.

I don't see how most of this logically follows, politics isn't anywhere in the same field as mathematics as far as truth goes. I don't want to argue any specifics, but all of your 'conclusions' follow from a debatable premise, I do not agree with your definition of a right and that definition is not commonplace either. Even if your definition of a right was the standard set in stone definition, it still has a number of logical issues:
1. life is not infinite, nor easily defined
2. I fail to see how the right to health care is not individual because it is a service, that logical conclusion does not follow. Your definition says nothing about how the resources of a right will be obtained. Also, health care is not procedure from other people, but from the state, its not like it is literally being taken from them.
3. I don't have a problem with what you say about marriage (not sure what you are getting at either)
