I just saw some damn socialism and I'm really upset!
A 15-year-old woman just collapsed at the library where I work. She was short of breath and clutching her chest. While she was being tended to by socialist security guards, I called 911 and within 10 minutes, socialist paramedics from the socialist fire department showed up. They administered socialized oxygen and offered to take her to the socialist county hospital on a socialist stretcher to be tended to by socialist nurses and socialist doctors.

She appeared to recover as the socialists were assessing her condition and it was determined it wasn't necessary to take her.

Damn socialists! Never around until you need one...!!! :grr:

1. This is clearly an assault on our purity of essence!
No wonder we've turned to sin!

I suppose some sick liberal might even think that helping that young woman was the kind of act that spiritual beliefs should promote? Something that Jesus would applaud, for Christ's Sake!?

2. Oh wow, hope she's ok
If something happened to me like that, I think I would freak out. Do you know what the problem was?

And yeah, public services are very nice. :) I'm certainly glad to live in a country where I won't be discriminated against on my ability to pay. Don't forget where she was either: The socialist bookstore. ;-)

3. She was in a youth class on resume writing...
She walked up to me to ask were the rest room was. I could see she was having some kind of difficulty.

I told her where the womens' room was, and immediately called security. Then I called 911.

The paramedics were with her about 15 minutes. She gradually stood up and it was determined she didn't need to go to the hospital. I don't know what happened other than she had had this kind of problem before. I believe she was on medication.

This wasn't the first time something like this has happened...:(

7. This isn't necessarily socialism.
I guess we'd have to ask the 15 (?) year old woman when her (or her parents?) get the bill.
Good thing she didn't need to be transported. I've heard ambulance rides are around $800.

8. A LIE-Berry? Socialist!
Taxpayers bought them damn books, and the librul elite and edu-tards READ them! "Schools are for fools," a vacuum cleaner salesman once told me.

Don't nobody need no books, cookbooks, so-called "science" books, maps, etc! The HOLY KJV-1611 BIBLE is the only book anyone needs!

Can I get a a-men??!?!?!//1/?!!

10. And I'll bet the socialist ambulance...
...travelled over socialist highways, protected by socialist police officers.

If it was here in Wisconsin, those roads would have been plowed by socialist snowplow drivers, who work all day and night keeping the roads open.

“This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the U.S. Department of Energy.

I then took a shower in the clean water provided by a municipal water utility.

After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC-regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like, using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

I watched this while eating my breakfast of U.S. Department of Agriculture-inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

At the appropriate time, as regulated by the U.S. Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the U.S. Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration-approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank.

On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the U.S. Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school.

After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and Fire Marshall’s inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department.

And then I log on to the internet — which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration — and post on Freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right. “

11. How big is her socialist medical bill going to be?
Especially if she doesn't have socialist health insurance?
