2. Ever Heard of Medicare? Medicaid? |
|
Or the VA?
Are those chopped liver?
They represent half of all medical care today, they're single-payer, and Medicare at least is world-class system.

3. Many Right-Wingers Now Hate TR, Too! |
|
Anybody who has spent sufficient time sorting through the ultra-right thinking that has taken over the elephant party during the last thirty-plus years knows that there are a LOT of right-wingers who not only want to repeal the Great Society and the New Deal, but also TR's Square Deal as well.
If TR were reincarnated as a young man and dropped down on an American street, today's Repugs would declare him a target for a RINO hunt.

7. Don't Forget Benjamin Franklin! |
|
Benjamin Franklin, one of the premier founding fathers and oft-quoted by the wingnuts, instituted the first publicly-run fire department in North America as well as the first free lending library and the first public hospital.
These actions alone negate the libertarian/ultra-conservative narrative painted by the Freepers and their ilk of the founding fathers. If Benjamin Franklin were to come back to life at this moment, within a week, Freepers would be pelting him with rotten produce and carrying placards showing him with a hammer and sickle on his forehead or other such nonsense.
