GROUP TO PROTEST SOCIALIZED FIRE CARE
“FLAMER” MOVEMENT TO PROTEST AT LIBRARIES NATIONWIDE

The group "Angrytownhall" is holding live protests at libraries nationwide, and in Downtown Los Angeles on 9/24/09. The Flamer Movement aims to protest socialized social services in America, beginning with fire stations. The group keeps thousands and thousands of members on its Facebook group and is a rapidly growing political movement.

Los Angeles, September 17, 2009 -- On Thursday, September 24, citizens from Los Angeles will join concerned citizens across the United States in opposition to ongoing taxes imposed by America's socialized fire services, and gather to promote individual liberty, privatization, and free market principles.

"So many people are engaged in everyday socialism without even knowing it. Our police, our schools, our roads." said Angrytownhall President Troy Conrad. "We've decided to bring awareness to the rampant socialism in America, starting with our nation's fire departments." With the viral appeal, its meteoric Facebook page, "1 Million Strong Against our Socialist Fire Departments," the Flamer movement is a grassroots organization intent on keeping taxes low for the American people by privatizing of 100% of America's fire departments by 2011, then moving to other socialized programs, such as education care, road care, and war care.


"We have too many people who are tired of paying for their neighbor's fire, when they've had no fire. We want our America back," shouted Conrad. The protest is expected to draw thousands in Los Angeles, and tens of thousands nationwide. Los Angeles-based anti-socialism protesters will rally in front of the Central Library in downtown Los Angeles at 3 p.m. Local residents are encouraged to attend to show their 'opposition' to socialized fire services. For instance:

-A pilot light is a pre-existing condition. Why should neighbors be forced to pay for carelessness?

1. Just in case anyone doesn't get it, this group is satirical in intent
It's funny how many libertarians wander into their Facebook group and start agreeing with all the nonsense they spout.

That's pretty much the attitude of road planners there already. (edit: I wrote that subject line before I noticed your user name. Durrr.)

11. LOL. We will be laughing but I predict a lot of confused tea baggers.
They as a group tend to be irony impaired.

16. Too funny.
Unfortunately, the people being satirized are too stupid to understand it.
