[tuolumnejim]

To be brutally honest, I'm very surprised that this ****ing moron actually remembers to breath.

Don't EVER.... A note to socialism-hating conservatives.  
 A list I'm putting together to highlight the services they likely use on a regular (or as-needed) basis:



So, you say you don't like socialism? You don't want the government running anything? Wellll....

Don't EVER say you honor and support our military. The military (even including private, outsourced companies like Blackwater) are all paid and supplied by the Federal government.

Don't EVER call 911 for a medical, fire or police emergency. Emergency services are largely provided for by public servants using government-provided equipment and training.

Don't EVER drive on a federal or state or local highway. You can only drive on roads built and maintained by private companies. You'll really have to do this as you will not have a driver's license which is a product of a government agency.

Don't EVER buy any food that passed an FDA inspection. You have to grow your own fruits and vegetables and raise your own cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. Same goes for any medications.

Don't EVER visit a National, State, or Local park and especially don't participate in any activities there (fishing, hunting, camping, hiking, etc. that would require further expenditures for licenses.)

Don't EVER be in a position you would need a public defender. They are paid for via public dollars.

Don't EVER expect or ask for the prosecution against someone who did you harm, directly or indirectly. The judicial system, you see, is a government-run agency paid for by our tax dollars and other fees.

Don't EVER visit a public library and use the resources there as tax dollars bought those books, PCs, etc.

Don't EVER put your children in public schools (elementary, high school, or college). The elementary and high schools are free via tax dollars. Teachers are paid via tax dollars.

Don't EVER apply for Medicaid if you become disabled or indigent and need assistance such as food stamps, medical care, utility bill assistance or job training. After all, you don't want other Americans who have no insurance to have it paid for via tax dollars, why should you get to take part in that system?

Don't EVER accept Medicare after you retire and no longer have any type of private health insurance.

Don't EVER accept any Social Security payment after you no longer work or a spouse has died. Live off of your private investments or the charity of friends and family.

Don't EVER apply for a small business loan from any government agency. Where do you think that money would come from anyway?

Don't EVER ask the government for help in getting child support payments from a deadbeat spouse.

Don't EVER apply for Unemployment if you should happen to lose your job.

Don't EVER mail a letter via the USPS and contact every single entity that would otherwise use the USPS for mailing you items to have them sent via UPS, FEDEX, or electronic delivery.

Don't EVER visit a museum that was built or is maintained or operated by any government agency.


Got that?

So ANY government is socialism?  Sorry, no.

[thundley4]

Almost every one of those can be considered under "provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, of the Preamble to the Constitution.

Oh, this is soooo funny!  The pathetic Little Goons think they have found the key to lock away conservative opposition to godless socialism.  

The poor Little Goons have attempted to confuse organized volunteer society with mandated social programs.  Hilariously stupid!

And the beauty is, on that LG thread, other LG's want to "borrow" the OP to send around to dumbass fundy conservatives to show the louts how the cow eats the cabbage!.  Can you imagine lining up to show your ignorance and embarrassing yourself?    

Pathetic and sooooooooooooooooo hilarious!  Little Goons, keep it up.  I need to laugh.

[dandi]

Once again, the DUmbasses confuse conservatives with anarchists.

Buuuuuuuut, that's why they're DUmbasses. *sigh*

BTW rollin'99boogers, a lot of that shit in your thread by you and your merry band of anencephalics I'd happily pare down, make smaller and more efficient, privatize, or do away with completely. No Gotcha Moment for you. So sorry.

[JohnnyReb]

The DUmmies pay no taxes but use all the services mentioned......therefore, in a round about way, it is socialism.....since it's mostly paid for by conservatives.

[tuolumnejim]

I'll tell you, if this is the kind of crap that passes for a "Public Education" we need to close all themnow and just give a 4000.00 tuition credit towards the private school of the parents choice.

Shouldn't this be on a freepers site? Who is it pertinent to here on DU?

I guess it's clever though but it falls on deaf eyes, ears, what ever.
   

But if I post it on a freeper site they would be able to argue against me. I just post it here so we can all jerk off over how nuanced and smart we are.

55. If you think freepers, in the form of trolls...
   
...aren't reading this, then you haven't been paying attention to the rest of DU. Whether they have the courage to make themselves known is another matter.

I see a lot of deleted messages at DU seems a whole lot of us have courage to make ourselves known for 3 seconds before we get erased from existence at DU.

54. Great list
   
May I print this out and hand it out at a town hall meeting I'm attending next week? The astroturfers heads will expolde when they see this.

Bingo.  The fact that the government performs some function does not make it per se Socialist.  Besides defense, emergency services, and necessary regulatory agencies (opinions differ as to how much regulation may be 'necessary' and where, of course...) there is a large zone where the government operates to provide services that support and facilitate the larger economy, but either involve such a large scale investment or offer insufficient profit in themselves to be operated successfully by the private sector.   These operations support private sector commerce, they do not compete with or supplant it.

[NHSparky]

Exactly--the average private citizen cannot afford and really has no vested interest in an F-22 or an interstate per se, but the Constitution provides for such in the preamble and in Article I, Section 8 because the interests of the nation as a whole depend upon it (i.e., national defense and general welfare vis-a-vis promotion of interstate commerce).

That being said, when government takes over a perfectly (or even imperfectly) functional sector of the economy such as banking, automotive, or healthcare, then it has exceeded its mandate and is turning socialist in nature.  Just sayin.

Oh, and the adbot at the top of the thread?  On foodstamps?  Get a free cell phone?  Priceless.

Aren't you glad our tax dollars are providing people who don't work cell phones? Now they can call their pot dealer and not just show up at his trailer hoping he's home.
