For some unknown reason the "Tea Party activist and 9-12ers" have invited me to join them "to protest Barak Obama's socialized medicine proposals during the president's visit to Grand Junction this Saturday."
I responded with a bit of sarcasm and irony, which I realize will only confuse this group.
The sad thing is, they will likely think I'm serious with this rant and ask me to be their leader:
While we are at it why not protest against all "socialized" proposals in America. Let's get rid of Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Veterans Affairs, public schools and universities, parks, the postal service, roads, police departments, fire departments, and libraries. There are so many horrible things in our lives provided through evil government socialized programs. Why stop at only destroying the possibility of all American citizens having the opportunity to access affordable health care? Let's end funding for all of these public programs that are sponsored by the government! I don't need any of these public services! I pay for my own private insurance, invest in the capitalist stock market, operated on my own leg after taking that bullet in the war, paid my way through private christian schools and went to Harvard, have picnics in my own backyard, only use FedEx, have an off-road vehicle so I don't use those public roads, have a gun for protection and a big bucket of water for fires, and I don't read books. Down with socialism! We must have pure capitalism! Every man for himself as God intended!!!!
