"What you're going to give us is the care of Zambria."

You need to watch the whole video for all kinds of this crap. You need a comedian to go through and see what you could get these people to say.

1. I'd think a copy of Old Ironsides would be heavy.

4. These people who think they are constitutional scholars crack me up.
I like the part where he says that he's read it three times and doesn't see where Congress gets the power to regulate health care.

I also didn't see the part where Congress has the power to create the air force either, or a million other things that we've done.

15. I do.
Remember that whole bit about "promoting the general welfare"? I think providing health care for all its citizens falls well under that.

20. Here's the more pertinent part:

"To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof."

Now, that's rather tautological, but since the Constitution calls itself the Supreme Law of the Land, that gives a lot of powers to Congress. It would certainly seem to me the power to create a health care system is at least implied if Congress has the power to create a postal system.

The Constitution does lists things that Congress specifically cannot do. Health care isn't on that list. Nothing like it is on that list.

6. It's about the Ship of State, see
and the Captain can't be born nowhere else accept on soil, but not by no natives. Are you with me?

Now the house has to be on the soil, and the Congress lives in the House, with the Sinnerators, who builded the ship of state, but can't be the captain.

The trick here is that the soil has to be American soil. North, not South. And not too far north. that's where Canadans live, and they want our health care cause they are dyeing there funny hats in the hospitals of hallways. Yephuh.

And you know what? They speak French in Canada, and the French are Socializers, not doctors. So we can't have no Socializing between doctors and Sinners in our House on our Soil!

Zambria! Dammit!

Am I making myself clear?

7. I have no degree in German history, but I don't remember Hitler beginning with universal health care
I also don't see how universal health care can be considered the "first step" in removing our rights.

:wtf:

18. That's what gets me. When in politics was Hitler ever a liberal?

They seem to think that there was some kind of slippery slope. There was no "liberal" stage to the Nazis.

Now it seems that propagandists have skillfully removed even the slippery slope. Liberalism was Nazism to begin with. And socialism, and communism.

21. They know far less about German history than you do
be assured of it. Some right-wing guru has no doubt told them that Hitler started off with universal health care and that it inevitably led to the policy of killing off all the sick and disabled, so of course that's exactly what will happen here. These gullible jerks believe ANYTHING they hear on Faux or on RW radio.

9. I made it about two and a half minutes in
I can't watch these people for very long. They're not even funny anymore. Just stupid and pathetic, and they inflict so much damage on the world with their ignorance and stupidity. I hate that I have to share a country with them. In fact I hate that I have to be of the same species as them.

Republicans fucking suck ass. That's all I have to say.

19. Which, of course, would indicate that Nike is steeped in sin.

Suggesting that faithful Christians actually ever needed new footwear.

Is this like Narnia? Or Middle-earth? One of those fantasy universes I've never heard of?

17. Put up your law degree, stupid.
Hey Frito Pendejo:

Show me your law degree or STFU.

I'll show you my law degree. Then stick your legal opinions where da sun don't shine.
