Kudos to Santorum for uncovering secret, diabolical sixty-year leftist plot
Santorum: Health Care Reform Will Destroy America By Defunding Our Military
Submitted by Kyle on October 8, 2010 - 9:10am

I am used to seeing right-wing leaders claim that gay marriage or abortion or atheism or voting Democratic or what-have-you will destroy America ... but I have never an explanation quite like the one Rick Santorum gave to World Magazine about how health care reform will destroy the US by forcing massive cuts in military spending, just like "the left" always wanted:

Q: Will this spending have an effect on our military? No European socialist country has any military to speak of, because they can't afford it. We spend $650 billion a year on the military. You're going to hear in the next year or so that we must dramatically cut the military because we can't pay for it: "We can't afford to be the policeman of the world. America's role has to change." The Chinese and the Russians are sitting there licking their chops. This is exactly what the left would like to see, since they see America as an oppressive imperialist country.

Q: The long-term consequences of the healthcare law . . . It will destroy the country.


Kudos to Santorum for uncovering this secret, diabolical sixty-year leftist plot to destroy our military though health care spending all for the benefit of the Russians!

1. Just one more question, Rick. What European socialist country have the Chinese and Russians
picked off? And the USA spents well over a $trillion a year for our military.

7. We can't afford to be the policeman of the world
was of course a Republican battle cry during the Clinton years. They know the talking points and now float them either way as if they think we're too stupid to remember yesterday.

8. Wait wait wait for it...is this the secret plans that O'Donnel saw
when she said China is the one wanting to take over America. Can't have it both ways. It's either China or Russia. Come on repubs make up your mind.

10. We spend more than the Russians, Chinese, and rest of the world COMBINED.
We could still have the world's dominant military for half the price. Santorum is his usual frothy, sticky, full of shit self.

11. Know what's funny? The Democratic Party these asshats run against is the one I WISH we had.
Cut the military budget to fund a European-style single payer health system?

Fuck. I wish.

13. Seriously, I sometimes think that the Socialist Utopia the ReBPublicans have nightmares
about would be Paradise for me.
