Do Tea-baggers really understand socialism?
As I watch the tea party news coverage on CNN, MSNBC and Fox News I can’t help but wonder what motivates these people. My first assumption was that these people were out of work and pissed about it so they decided to join in. Then when I saw the guns coming out, I assumed that these were gun nuts trying to peacock for television. Now I really don’t know what the motivation is anymore.
I can’t believe that these people are truly bothered with a government run health care insurance program. Let me rephrase that a little, not all of these people are bothered by a government plan. A large portion of the people I see on the news networks are on Medicare. The rest seem to be either be employees of health-care companies or tin-foil hat wearers. Either way they don’t seem to be rational about their objections and never seem to have a solution to the problem.
I really have a problem with the government is bad approach to this debate. Let’s be honest, government run institutions aren’t all run poorly. I know that it’s easy to throw that attack out there, but it’s truly stupid. If you have a problem with government institutions then don’t ever call 911, it’s not for you. The fire and police department are government run and no one ever yells socialism at them. In fact a lot of cops are probably staunch conservatives.
Bottom line, if you don’t like government then boycott the police, the fire department, and the military. If you don’t you are a socialist!
