#94 Free Healthcare
April 4, 2008 by clander
In spite of having access to the best health insurance and fanciest hospitals, white people are passionate about the idea of socialized medicine. So much so that they have memorized statistics and examples of how for-profit medicine has destroyed the United States.
But before you can exploit this information for personal gain, it’s important that you understand why white people are so in love with free health care.
The first and most obvious reason is “they have it Europe.” White people love all things European, this especially true of things that are unavailable in the United States (Rare Beers, Absinthe, legal marijuana, prostitution, soccer). The fact that it’s available in Canada isn’t really that impressive, but it does contribute to their willingness to threaten to move there.
These desires were only heightened in 2007 when Michael Moore released “Sicko,” a documentary that contrasts the health care industry in the United States with that of Canada, France and Cuba. As a general rule of thumb, white people are always extra passionate about issues that have been the subject of a Moore documentary. As a test, ask them about 9/11, Gun Control, or Health Care and then say “where did you get that information?” You will not be surprised at the results.
But the secret reason why all white people love socialized medicine is that they all love the idea of receiving health care without having a full-time job. This would allow them to work as a freelance designer/consultant/copywriter/photographer/blogger, open their own bookstore, stay at home with their kids, or be a part of an Internet start-up without having to worry about a benefits package. Though many of them would never follow this path, they appreciate having the option.
If you need to impress a white person, merely mention how you got hurt on a recent trip Canada/England/Sweden and though you were a foreigner you received excellent and free health care. They will be very impressed and likely tell you about how powerful drug and health care lobbies are destroying everything.
Though their passion for national health care runs deep, it is important to remember that white people are most in favor of it when they are healthy. They love the idea of everyone have equal access to the resources that will keep them alive, that is until they have to wait in line for an MRI.
This is very similar to the way that white people express their support for public schools when they don’t have children.

Give it up Greg. I’ve learned from working with Liberals that they are unequaled when it comes to being inconsitent. On one hand they don’t want “big brother” watching over them, none of us do. But on the other hand they don’t mind having government controled medican sticking its greasy finger up there ass.
and conservatives rail against big government but love it when the military budget balloons, talk about how much they love freedom but defend nsa wiretapping as patriotic, and love to claim populism while their party was presiding over the biggest expansion of the federal government and its power in history. sooo, yeah that makes sense…
It doesn’t bother you one bit not to know anything about what your talking about does it?
I’m a bit hesitant to post something here because, like most fellow white people, if anyone responds critically to my post of ultimately infinitesimal importance on this small, dusty corner of the internet I may well feel the wholly unnecessary urge to respond by sinking to my opponent’s level and retorting with comments about ‘throbbing cocks,’ ‘fruitbats’ and the use of the word ‘ilk,’ which I’ve gathered is for some reason no longer a legitimate component of the English language.
But I’ll take that risk.
I just wanted to say ‘thank you’ to all the posters on this topic. Liberal, conservative or simply douche, you have all made my day.
Cheerio!

Hey Gregg. The surest sign that someone is a conservative nutbar is that you suffer under the delusion that you work harder than everyone else. Most Americans have jobs. Most of those jobs suck. And most of those jobs don’t provide health care or a decent wage. So please take your “I work for a living” speech somewhere else. I work for a living too. So do most liberals. And we would like the economy to keep humming along at a reasonable clip. (You know like it was under Roosevelt, Truman, Eisenhower, Johnson, Clinton and all of those other liberal to moderate heads of state.) Don’t take the fact that you hate your job and your life out on everyone else with your right-wing blathering.
What your no-government-at-all-costs ideology will get us on the health care front is more of the same. Rising prices dictated by the same corporate slime that has been screwing the consumer for over forty years. We work while the insurance executives profit.
But I’m sure that you’ll claim that all of this can be solved with some more free market pixie dust sprinkled on all of our heads by zombie Reagan.
I’ll be looking for answers somewhere else.
The great depression was presided over by Roosevelt, it took a world war to get us out of his idiotic economic policies, Eisenhower was a Republican (no brainer there why the economy was better than under truman or roosevelt), clintoons largest tax increase in history gave us a recession douchebag and the first big economic bubble. If it hadn’t been for Ronald Reagans economic policies, George Bush Sr., Newt Gingrich and the Republicans contract with America that gave us welfare reform, and a balanced budget clintoon would have been yet another in a long line of failed democrat presidencies.
The only thing the clintoon/gore fiasco can hold up for a legacy is Monica Lewinski.
Don’t you fruitbats ever get tired of being wrong about everything?
Thank God for Joe Liberman now, if it wasn’t for the only liberal in America with some sense we would be thoroughly screwed. Keep drinking the kool-aid, its the only thing maintaining your idiotic world view.
only in your wet dreams is joe lieberman a liberal.
eisenhower was the last decent republican this country has had in the oval office, and he’s spinning in his grave to hear you speak his name.
must be fun living in a world you’ve entirely imagined for yourself. i bet the guys in there have rock hard pecs and huge throbbing cocks. matter of fact, in your imagination you probably don’t feel so guilty about wanting them to fuck your brains out. too bad you’re too scared to come out of the closet in real life.
You imagine a homo erotic fantasy, then place your superiors in it, in a derogatory fashion. Hmmm…. You have issues with authority figures, and obviously get aroused from them. Did you know your daddy? If not, you are qualified to run for president on the democratic ticket. congrats, I guess………
mmm throbbing cocks. if only you had one you might know what they actually look like.
chuckle, sounds like you got a bit of penis envy going on there little buddy. Don’t worry about it, I get that a lot from your ilk.
Seriously, did you just learn the world “ilk” last month or something? Get a new generalization. If you’re going to broadly categorize anybody who disagrees with you at least be creative in the execution.
Here’s a few: flock, cohort, breed, character, class, and tribe.
now get your foil hat back on, before “they” hear your thoughts.
No, “ilk” has been around for a long time. It suits people of your “ilk”, more than any of those you wish me to use.
As for tin foil hats, your ilk, have the only heads capable of fitting in them. They are made exclusively for pin heads, in gender nuetral colors, however I have seen some like yours with glitter. Whatever thats for.
Hey Greg
You do realize that the “fruitbat” you keep going on about is a real animal right?
Now I am going to disregard you, because you sir, are a Lemming.
chuckle, good. stick your head back up your ass like most liberals and revel in your rugged individuality, and self sufficiency. Fruitcake.
chuckle, stick your head back up your ass like most conservatives and revel in your rugged individuality, and self sufficiency. wingnut.
Does it actually cause you any physical pain to be that stupid?
i guess you’d have to know what that would feel like, wouldn’t you…
the only arguments you ever make are based on a nefarious Ilk of Fruitbats and Cakes reveling in rugged individualism and self-sufficiency, that loves to cry victim while simultaneously victimizing your children by magically making the food on your children’s plates disappear off their forks.
you contradict yourself every other post, and i wonder how you can actually believe the things that come out of your mouth.
You sound a little cuckoo for coco puffs there fruitcake.
really? that’s all you’ve got? and here i thought you were a bottomless pit of vitriol and invective. guess the Ilk takes this round then.
If you call that a “win” you can have it.
HA! Thats funny, and now somewhere you’re against rugged individuality and self-sufficiency? We can’t all work in antiquated industries that only exist because of Government subsidies (welfare sucka). Some of us use our BRAINS (the thing between your ears) to make MONEY (the thing your so afraid of losing you’d rather millions of children die from preventable illness)
I have to give you kudos for switching up the insult to “fruitcake”. “Fruitbat” was just creeping me out before, and “Fruitcake” is more festive, for the holiday time.
I know a bunch of negroes that think going down to get there welfare check from the man “is” using their brains to get money.
You fruitbats can’t miss a beat when you see an opportunity. Regardless of how erratic and insane you look doing it. Making up millions of children dieing from preventable diseases crap. You just gotta lay a bleeding heart out there like its gonna make me feeeel bad to kick you for showing yet again what an idiot you insist on being.
I didn’t want good peoples Christmas soiled with thoughts of your ilks idiotic drivel.
The problem with you kids is, you don’t know anything, nothing about socialism, nothing about capatalism. You just think that suddenly your not a child anymore, people need to take notice of you, simply for being you. Well… you’re getting our attention, and it isn’t good. You might wanna think about that.
really, greg? you know black people who don’t routinely kick the shit out of you? im disappointed in humanity.
and are you really trying to deny that children die from easily preventable diseases every day? i think it’s you who needs a lesson in christmas spirit, amigo. but i sympathize. it must be difficult and painful to spout contradictory idiocies back to back like you do.
on the subject of capitalism, at least i can spell it. pretty sure that puts me one up on you.
I don’t deny that preventable diseases are killing kids. Millions? In this country as an attempt to justify fascist leftwingnut ObaMaocare? Yeah, I do deny that. More kids are killed by abortion in this country. Do you deny that?
I just love the way you talk. You live and breath political correctness. Tell me, just how does it feeeeel to be told exactly what to believe, how to think and what to say? Your reward is like minded fools, telling you, you’re ‘enlightened’. What does that taste like?
If you understood English, you would know, there are no inconsistencies in anything I write. The problem is, your idiotic world view prevents you from living in the real world.
kids aren’t killed by abortion, pregnancies are ended and an embryo or fetus dies. there’s a very profound difference.
your entire writing style and political philosophy (i’m stretching the meaning of the term philosophy here, since that usually implies coherence and some degree of thought) is based on inconsistency. you are only anti, only reactionary. when in your life or in anything you’ve said have you ever stood for something?
political correctness is such an easy demon. never mind its conservatives who are always claiming to be offended, never mind that republicans gleefully cry for censorship when it suits their zealot agenda. whining about pc liberals is just a straw man argument.
go on, trumpet your independence some more, puppet.

No ding dong, I don’t see the world the way you do. You can feeel about anything and everything all you want. The only people I owe a living to are my kids and my wife. If the rest of you degenerates were allowed to starve to death as nature intended, it would be a far better world for my family.
I just don’t understand how through some feeelings, you fruitcakes justify, stealing the food off my kids plates that I bust my ass to provide and pass it around to a bunch of miscreants.
If you werent subisidized to be a lazy fuck, you would do one of two things, get off your lazy asses and get a freaking job and work for everything you want like the rest of us, or starve to death. Now that is FAIR, that is EQUITABLE.
but greg, you’re fine with murder. you dont mind denying medical care to anyone whose job doesn’t provide insurance, though they might die from it, you don’t mind killing iraqi children, you don’t mind assassinations of union leaders in latin america. these are all factual, clear cut killings, but they’re ok, because they make you feel manly and sulf-sufficient.
you are directly responsible for murder, and i am too, as a citizen and a taxpayer. the difference is that i know it, and hate it, while you deny it and defend it. our country should be better than this and if you were really a patriot, you’d demand that it be.
You can’t even admit to yourself that abortion is murder. That says a lot about you. It just goes to prove that you live in a fantasy world. There is NO other way to see it, you can pretend that it isn’t all you want, but, it doesn’t change reality one bit.
Your ilks desire to include federal funding for abortions in the mess you morons are calling a healthcare bill, is your ilks attempt at making me a party to the murder of those children.
You sound like a teenager. Whenever anyone expects your ilk to have some realization that YOU bear the burden of personal responsibility, your ilk cry ‘HITLER’. Thanks to degenerates like you, I take great joy in pointing out just how ignorant your ilk are about everything, to everybody, every chance I get. Alsto thanks to degenerates like you, you make it very easy by completely ignoring common sense.
parasitic – just be grateful Greg represents the “other” side. He can be their embarrassment.
an embarrassment to some, a champion to others, its all in the perspective I guess. But, this board isn’t about them, its about the enjoyment I get from kicking liberals around.

Greg is more like an un-wiped asshole.
With images like that, its easy to see where liberal fruitbats get all their stupid ass ideas from.
