Yeah - what this person said:
This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy.Which is going to make prices skyrocket necessarily I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water supply.Yep because if left up to us republicans the water would be dirty After that, I turned the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined what the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.From the days when their mission was space travel not kissing up to Muslims I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration. Once again we want to have poison in our food and in our drugs
At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory,You guys hate the navy I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads built by local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation,I've never heard any conservative complain about roads being built by the govt possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection agency,Which is working on necessarily making the price skyrocket using legal tender issued by the Federal Reserve Bank.That must be why they think that all money belongs to the govt On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school. Yeah both those agencies are doing really well, the post office is broke, and the schools don't teach our kids anything, but how to put rubbers on fruit
After work, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to a house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and Fire Marshal inspection, and which has not been plundered of all its valuables thanks to the local police department. That's when they aren't busy harassing poor black folks
I then log onto 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. Al Gore invented the internet

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1445342They really have no idea what conservatives believe in do they?
They really have us confused with anarchists.
We all know govt has a role specifically outlined in our Constitution, it's when you lefties want govt to run outside those limits is when we get bothered.

1. Simple stuff like this should be used vigorously.
THEN accompanied by - USA! USA!
You will only look like a fool if you do so. They really think that we can't argue with those talking points.

5. Yeah, but none of this is RIGHT. You aren't rich enough to deserve these things.
But I will be, someday. And when that day comes I don't want any of my money wasted putting out fires in poor people's houses. And I have an SUV, what do I need the roads fixed for? I can drive over any fence a poor person can afford to put up, I can drive through potholes that swallow smaller cars, I can't even SEE pedestrians and bikes. And this stupid time standard thing means I can't rip my employees off for fifteen minutes of work a day - that sucks. Building codes are for suckers. You can always hire a builder to make what you want - it's not like you're going to stay there long enough to notice any problems...
likewise for your postal service, your schools, your internet (Fox is good enough for me), the FDA and USDA are jokes, why NOT dismantle them? And MY doctor wouldn't give ME bad drugs, should I care what drugs welfare moms take?
That is just stupid.
