7. Here is a link to the subject's blog:

Here is a quote so you don't have to go there:

"The collectivist bloggos are making much of the fact that after suffering congestive heart failure, diabetes and hypertension, that I fell back on Social Security Disability. They feel that I am hypocritical for taking government pennies.

I must admit that this question caused me a lot of heartache when I fell ill and couldn't return to work. I, too, felt that it was hypocritical. Now my wife works and we have Blue Cross/Blue Shield through her employer. I never accepted Medicare because we could afford not to. Of course, given the realities of the new "Intolerable Act" it is anybody's guess how long we will continue to have insurance from her employer when there are such incentives in the bill for employers to drop plans and for providers to go out of business.

That said, at the time of the application for Disability several of my friends argued that I was being ridiculous, that I would never get back anything near the amount of what I paid in (and at $1300 per month, they're right about that). But it was my adopted brother, a current-serving Army LTC who made the most persuasive argument.

"Look, Mike," he told me, "what is the prime method by which guerrillas handle logistics?" "They take them from the enemy." "Right," he said, "so what is so very wrong with living off the substance of the tyrannical government you oppose? Especially since it is your money to begin with?"
"



So, as you can see, up is down, left is right, these people can justify anything they want to.

9. And it gets better - if you can tolerate looking over the older posts,

you find out that while Mr. V was carrying a "on-partisan political sign that I had previously displayed at a rally in opposition to contentious legislation" at an Obama rally at George Mason University, two young men of Middle eastern appearance tried to run him down with their SUV and the cops did nothing!

12. What a load of crap!

First, I question his inablility to do meaningful work. And he justifies collecting SSDI by calling it a guerrilla tactic. Then, he says he could go on Medicaire but won't because he doesn't have to. He wants to take down the USA by collecting SSDI but not Medicaire? So, he only wants to take down only half the country?

8. What gets me most is the guy is on Soc. Sec. Disability and railing against the gub'ment

The guy is sick, sick, sick.

13. Recently I came across a guy like this on soc. sec. disability - hadn't worked in decades...

I held out my hand and said, "If you hate this government so much, turn in your card here."

When he refused I told him he was a hypocrite and full of shit.

He got so angry he was almost drooling by the time I walked away. Fortunately it was at a cafe and a lot of other people were around - wouldn't put it past one of these assholes to do something crazy if they could get away with it.
