Ye gods.
Caller on Cspan just opined that "we've fought wars against European-style health care."


When did this happen, and why didn't I hear about it?

1. LOL - dementia, I guess. I didn't realize WWII was over
health care. I must have received a less than adequate education.

5. I'm a veteran, and let me tell you...
...when those French doctors fixed their syringes and charged at us full on with their H1N1 vaccines at the ready, I thought we were goners.

9. OK. America didn't declare Independence in 1776 because we had Mad King George
You declared it because there were prophecies in the land that one day we would have Nye Bevan!

Or is the caller really thinking of Japanese health care?

13. That's pure Glenn Beck.
Here's his "logic":

1."social justice" was a rallying cry of the Nazis (and Communists).
2. Obama (apparently) talks about social justice. So do churches.
3. We fought the Nazis.
4. Obama is evil. Any churches that mention social justice are also evil.



So the caller's logic goes like this:

1. Beck says we fought the Nazis.
2. Beck says Obama is bad.
3. Obama wants European-style health care.
4. We fought wars over European-style health care.
