I just had to respond. I couldn't keep silent anymore.

My Brother-in-law enjoys sending me jokes regarding "Obamacare", and Presisdent Obama in general. The latest was a Powerpoint on creation that ended with God creating HMO's to help fat people, and the Devil creating "Obamacare".

I had to say something:



Dear XXX,

Our neighbor XX has a brain Aneurysm, and is being operated on right now. When her husband XX (hopefully) gets a new job, she won't have health insurance due to this pre-existing condition. Her medication for her other health issues will run $1400-$1600 a month. And if she has any other issues, they are bankrupt.

Now that's funny.

Sincerely,

Me

1. Good for you for rubbing his face in the truth. I've started doing that too,

although it has led to fights and fractured relationships. I just can't sit silent anymore and listen to the rightwing propaganda without fighting back and talking some truth.

2. The response

"No fair – you aren’t supposed to put this in a real life perspective.



But thanks for ruining my day."

4. Typical right-winger. Cares only about his own comfort.

7. Only upside - I won't be getting the emails any more I think.

13. Not even that

How could lowering Health Care costs be detrimental to them? They truly have no idea what they are upset over. They have been told to be upset but don't understand why but have always lived by their code of never questioning their Party..

5. What? Life is just a sitcom on tv and after the credits roll every dead person gets up and walks awa

8. To which I would reply: "While you are whining about your day,

she is facing the ruin of her life's finances. You ought to be ashamed of yourself and I hope you are, because you deserve it."

I get tired of people taking cruel jabs at others and then whining about how they were "just kidding" when they get criticized. Maybe they should think harder about what they say...or keep quiet altogether.

10. I keep forgetting: not everyone is part of the "reality-based community" n/t

11. Seriously? That was the response?

12. Your reply should be

"If that makes your day I'll be glad to give you many more examples"

3. May I copy this concept? It's short and extremely pointed.

[democrat_patriot]

6. Sure.

I'm just really, really sad.

And extremely disappointed.

Maybe there will be a 'Christmas Miracle' - and HCR will come back to life.

9. It never ceases to amaze me how much childish glee these morons

are getting out of their stupid shit.
