I AM AN AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE SHITHEEL
Highlighted in this diary at Daily Kos...

The best comment on the Whole Foods fiasco
by Suburban Blue
Fri Aug 14, 2009 at 12:45:15 PM PDT

I just skimmed through the Whole Food Forum where the Glenn Beckers of the world spew their talking points. But alas, I found some comedic gold that I must credit and spread to all of those on the tubes.

Check out below for the call and response.

Whole Foods Online Forum

Wingnut Comment:

You're an ignoramus. Look at the facts. Anything the government has involved itself in haS becomes less efficient and more expensive. That's not partisan it's reality. The CBO has twice now substantiated that this trend will only continue if the government gets involved. We need to address the cost of health care but the gov. is not the solution.
Posted by Stump


A wonderful person by the name of MBShopper came back with this whopper:

Once again, for the benefit of the government-can't-get-anything-right flock:

I AM AN AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE SHITHEEL

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. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.

At the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and tTechnology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issed by the Federal Reserve Bank. 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.


Oh it continues...

After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to ny house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it's valuables thanks to the local police department.

I then log on to 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.


Bring it home my man...

The only reason government doesn't work is because conservative Republican administrations defunded and/or patronage staffed them with people with ties to special business interests: to wit the last FDA, Dept of Interior and Agriculture under Bush. No one seems to have a problem with pumping over $500Bil to the Defense Department which last I hear is a socialized entity.


I don't know if this is fair use, but I'm just sharing it because it is too damn funny. Cheers!

7. Putting todays no-government Repubs in charge of government is like...
...putting Pam Anderson in charge of the Texas Cattleman's Association.


It's like putting Sarah Brady in charge of the N.R.A.


It's like putting Bill Maher in charge of D.A.R.E.


It's like putting Malcom X in charge of the Klu Klux Klan.


It's like putting David Duke in charge of the Anti-Defamation League.


It's like making Carl Sagan the Pope.

16. Something Awful is fantastic and I encourage everyone to give their D&D subforum a look.
Also Laissez's Fair is hilarious--many of the regulars there have FR accounts and troll them with astounding efficiency.

13. Bookmarking for future use against MANY people I hear spewing this crap
What a great piece of writing. I might reorganize to take a few of the swear words out since most of these people saying this are Christian brand fundamentalists.

15. Remember when Reagan told us government IS the problem?
In his first inaugural address, no less.

We should have known then he meant to be part of the problem.

Seriously, how can anyone who believes government
does no good for people, and does nothing well,
be trusted to do the job right?

21. This is remarkable. All I've pulled out of my pea brain was the war , SS, and Medicare.
Our representatives need to go after those morons with something like this: Are you an average Joe? Well, this is what we are doing for you? How do you think it's going?

23. Brilliant.
A exceptional example of the questions I ask so called conservatives on many occasions. These are the people who would scream the loudest if THEIR government benefits were taken away.

The woman who was married to my father until his death, who is a paraplegic, was denied a special kind of cushion that prevents 'bed sores' from developing, due to her being in a wheelchair, because according to Medicare changes that took place under republican leadership, these cushions last three years. No exceptions, even if they DON'T.

Hers blew in less than a year. We repaired it as best we could, but she eventually wound up with a very, very, deep wound.
She spent months in the hospital, not to mention the various treatments, drugs she was given, etc, all for the want of a $700 cushion. Even after all that, she STILL had to wait the three years for the cushion!

When she complained, we asked her isn't this what she voted for? Isn't it logical that if you vote in a group of people that openly hate the government, and think it's bad, that it won't be? What could she say?

I'll never get over how stupid these people are. She even got a masters degree, paid for by the government, that she now claims she is to sick to use. Yet she keeps her radio on all the time glued to the conservative religious channel, and believes liberals running the country is something to pray over.

:crazy:
