Well, just look at these status quo defenders who long for George W. Bush to be the President of the United States again. 

I am sorry, but is “socialistic” the correct word to use in the context of that sign?  Because “no socialized medicine” sounds more correct to me.  The other sign that is a picture of President Obama says “yes we can destroy America” is not amusing at all.  Finally, the one says that says “traitor to the…” traitor to the what exactly?  The people attending the tea parties seem like traitors to me in this scenario.  For example, the littering of the White House lawn with tea bags.  Talk about disrespectful!  Would George W. Bush tolerate littering of the White House lawn with anything if he was President of the USA now?

I truly believe that most people are against the health care reform, regardless of political stripe.  Therefore, it is for different reasons.  Personally, my problem with it is that the insurance companies are going to get the bigger piece of the pie as usual.  How American!  Think about how much money would be made for them if the USA government makes it mandatory for people to buy health insurance out of their own pockets.  I find the health care reform (it should be a complete overhaul) similar to PLPD insurance for cars.  If this passes, I sure hope that the insurance will be cheap but I am not crossing my fingers.

If these tea party people believe that the health care reform bill is socialism, they need to read a book on socialism and/or buy an encyclopedia set.  Their paranoia with socialism is starting to really become annoying.  The USA is among the least socialist nations in the first world.  Someone commented on a similar article saying something like his sister going to a social security office and then going to a tea party rally.  That is pretty funny.  Tragic, but funny.

Now there were some of radical fringe type people over there saying that the USA can survive with ZERO public programs.  That the USA should not have anything nationalized and instead everything should be managed by the private sector.  This hypothetical social experiment would be VERY dangerous - more dangerous than even having a monarchy or a dictatorship even. 

What would happen if everything is privatized? 

no fire department
no police department
no trash pickup
no infrastructure maintenance
no post office
and, of course, no military personnel

I suppose these people prefer Blackwater (now they are called XE) over the military branches.  No more 911 service for you tea partiers!  If your house is burning to the ground do not call the fire department.  If you wind up being burglarized, kidnapped, or raped - don’t bother calling the cops.  Let your trash just keep piling up at your house too while you are at it.  After all, if these people truly are against socialism - then boycott public service entities.  That would be more sensible than going to a tea party.  If you are against nationalized health care WHEN it eventually becomes policy, then don’t go to the doctor.  Refuse medical attention if you need to go to the emergency room.  Actions such as these will allow these particular Americans to back up their cherished beliefs with constructive actions that would truly make a difference.

I will close with saying that most nations in Europe have adopted more socialist policies than the USA.  Most people who live in Europe seemed relatively content and laid back to me as I have toured Europe before.  They don’t seem to complain too much about high tax rates either.  Plus, the Euro is more valuable than the USA Dollar right now.  Now, how does an individual who affiliates with the ultra right anti-socialist fringe explain that one?

God Bless the patriots who attended today’s “house call”.  I’m looking forward to the 2010 elections so this great nation can purge the socialist from the halls of congress, and Nancy Pelosi will become a footnote in the pages of American history!
