What do you say to a freep troll who keeps calling CHIP socialist?

[usregimechange]

other than nothing because I want to thump him!

[MichaelHarris]

1. Ponch

was a commie?

[Debi]

7. THAT is funny!!!

:rofl:


Look, he gave the children the shirt off his back!

[MichaelHarris]

10. hahhahahahaha

"Hi, I'm Ponch and I want to redistribute your wealth"

16. Tell the FREEPAH not to call the fire department when he has a fire in his house

Tell the FREEPAH not to call the fire department when he has a fire in his house
nor call the police if he needs them to come to his aid.

Tell him not to travel on the roads and build his own.

Tell him to dig his own water well.

Tell him to build his own outhouse out side his home.

The police department, the fire department, the highway department and the water system and the sewage system each appear socialized.


The police and fire departments do not ask for your credit card when you call them. Most roads do not have toll booths. You do not pay for each glass of water you drink nor do you pay for each flush of the toilet right then and there.


For the most part you pay taxes to givernment and you get the services without paying right then and there.

We should have that for medical care for everyone.

DAMN FREEPAH.

2. Ask him to define socialism

Usually they'll give the wrong answer and then you can rip 'em up over that.

[JuniperLea]

13. Exactly...

They have been confused on purpose, to thinking that socialism is communism. And they've been lied to over and over about the healthcare in Europe and Canada.

[EFerrari]

3. If it has language, ask it how it likes

socialized law enforcement and national defense.

[Warpy]

8. Or socialized fire departments

Ask him if the fire department gets privatized and has to turn a profit, how many calls they're not going to bother to answer toward the end of the month because they need to protect the bottom line. Then ask him if he thinks he can schedule something like having his house hit by lightning or catching fire from grease in the kitchen or a hidden wiring problem in the wall.

These people are heartless fools, though, so don't expect too much.

[MannyGoldstein]

4. Tell Him That Public Roads, Libraries, Police, and Fire Departments Are Socialist.

Tell him to get his own fucking military - our public military is Socialist too.

[blonndee]

5. Here's what you say (if anything)

"You're an idiot."

Seriously. Personally, I don't engage freep trolls. They're beyond hope and intellectually incapable of (or unwilling to) reason.

[valerief]

6. You mean like Socialist Security? nt

[liberalmuse]

9. If he drinks tap water and buys gas...

tell him he is benefitting from 'socialism'. Both are highly subsidized by Federal and State governments.

[Iris]

11. Here's an op-ed I read today - maybe you can get something from this:

[angstlessk]

12. Ask him if he wants his kid to get hepatitis because a child in his

class went without medicine? or encephalitis? very contagious around schools...so he thinks only the rich should have health care??? they need a country of their own if they don't want the poor to create diseases unchecked!

[usregimechange]

19. That is what private schools are for, to keep clean people from the

dirty ones.

[Buzz Clik]

14. It's not as if Bush doesn't want it at all, he just wants a smaller version.

[usregimechange]

15. He mentions the military so I asked him:

Is that the "socialized" military or the privatized pro-American Blackwater?

[Dollface]

17. Ask him why he assumes that you agree with him that socialism is a bad thing.

[Journeyman]

20. Touché! . . .

n/t

[Hand]

18. "Get a BRAIN! Moran" works for me. nt

[Disturbed]

21. Debating anything with RWing Fascists is a waste of time.

!

[Maestro]

22. How is it socialist to help kids

who need help? Ask him if it is capitalist to wage war to enrich friends like those at Blackwater, Halliburton, et. al. with all those no bid contracts? Which one would he choose?

[EST]

23. Make sure you have a strong, one paragragh

definition that you are quite familiar with of communism, socialism, fascism and capitalism and then ask him to define whatever term he uses.

If that doesn't work, pick up a great big rock and hit him with it.

[napi21]

24. Say "Yea it is, and do you think that's a problem?"

If the conversation continues, ask "Exactly what is wrong with socialism?"

I think a lot of people confuse socialism with comunism, and they're wrong!

[Az]

25. Remind him of the phrase "Promote the general welfare"

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

[otherlander]

26. "Yes, and?"

[PDJane]

27. Explain that there is already socialized medicine

in the US. It's just that it only covers the congress, the senate, the elderly, and the absolutely destitute.

Explain that the US spends 2.8 Trillion on health care, 1/3 of that, approximately, on paperwork. That would provide on great single-payer health care system.
