Response to an anti-healthcare reform fearmonger ...
Edited on Tue Sep-29-09 03:02 PM by Triana
... this guy is ex-military. He INSISTED THAT HE EARNED HIS government-provided VA healthcare because he served in the military and that he "didn't want socialist, government-controlled healthcare" (for anyone ELSE) because he "didn't want them controlling people's lives". (dunno WTF he thinks the VA is?). He also insisted that the rest of us are not ENTITLED to the same healthcare he gets because WE didn't EARN it like HE did. He insisted that keeping the private for-profit enterprise system was the right solution ("basically, I got MINE - eff you!"). HERE was a response to him that shut him UP. . .

Hey XXXX,

Since you didn't EARN the right to use the post office, the US-government built and managed highway system, your national parks, your public library, your police, your fire department, you MUST NOT use them either. AND - you MUST NOT ACCEPT YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY checks when the time comes because SOCIAL SECURITY IS A GOVERNMENT-RUN SOCIALIST PROGRAM! AND, the VA is ALSO a "bad" government-run socialist health care system. Did you KNOW? Who'da thunk it?! That being the case, WHEN - therefore - are you going to give up your VA bennies, too?

DID YOU KNOW ... that YOU participated in the BIGGEST GOVERNMENT-RUN SOCIALIST ENTERPRISE WE HAVE IN THE US - the US MILITARY? But you HATE "socialism" and government-run enterprises and don't want the "government controlling your life" (uhh, like they did when you were in the military). Imagine that. Huh. And you're PROUD of yourself for it too.

Well, THANK YOU for your service to your country. Thank you for participating in and working for the BIGGEST government-run socialist enterprise in the US - the US MILITARY! You SHOULD BE PROUD!

But -- in view of that, the basis of your argument re: "government-run stuff is BAD - I don't want them running my/people's life!" makes NO sense! Zero. Sorry. But I DO thank you!

NOW. Do you want to stop with ignorance and scaremongering about government-run health care and EXPLAIN this ironic behavior on your part?
