Just Thought I'd Share This
There is someone on Facebook I talk to about politics.

Here are some of the comments she has made:



"O'Donnell will win in November because she is better than anything the Liberals can offer. You all need to accept that the White House is over for the Liberal Socialists. Our nation will be free of that illogical nonsense for good very soon. When she takes her seat she will not help this administration do anything that is destructive to this country and our Constitution. That you can be certain of."


"Tea Party is of the people Tony, by the people Tony and For the People. George funded the socialists. That should scare you when the folks you hate are funding your party. Please do not be such a hyprocrite."

" Tony, The people are not funding the Socialists. Rich folks you want to destroy are. LOL i hope you win this taxing the rich"


" Oh and "The Tea Baggers" is not a party folks. It is Independent Americans fed up with this socilisim of our country. It is us all . It is the MAINSTREAM. It is the American people. These are not the others. It is everyone not in your clique."


"We all need and want to have security, safety and food. I do care about this so called redistribution of wealth. Take it from the world. We have to work for a living here as in the world. People who have not worked or are are waiting on the government to bail them out are not helpful here. The government never ever helped the rest of our generations yet we built the strongest nation in the world in very little time. Taking anything from another person is not the right of our government. It is tyranny with a different ribbon."


"If there are children in shelters and are not being cared for here, we have a foster parent program that will remedy that situation. THe parents taking them through life that way need to be trained, we have those programs as well. There are many social programs here and world wide we already do. For pity sake stop taking from those who are not failing."




" Edward, Is Obama poor, Harry Reid, or Nancy Pelocy? No democrats are out there suffering one bit and they point fingers at everyone on the other side who has money. This is a rich nation. No need to apologize or criticize for it. It will ...continue to be with the best health care in the world as well. We are not going to decrease our standards so the left wing liberal socialists can make us another Europe. One is enough. One United States Of America is also needed in this world.



Then someone asks her:

"--- ---, do you have a job and good healthcare?

and she says this:



"--- -----. I did work at HP and my job went to Singapore. I am disabled with rheumatoid arthritis in my hands. I have arthritis is most of my body and i also have other medical issues from it now too. Medicaid is my insurance"


:wtf:

2. How typical.
Point out that it's HER OWN FAULT she has rheumatoid arthritis, and she can work at something. TOO BAD her job went overseas. She needs to get off her lazy rear end and get a job. Any job. HOW DARE SHE expect the rest of us to support her and pay for her health care??!!

Not that I actually believe what I just wrote, but it's the kind of thing she would say to someone else in here exact situation.

7. Why do you talk to 10 year-olds? Does this person have any education?
Apparently it's alright to take that socialist Medicaid just don't let anybody else be helped.

9. She lives in the myth
not the reality of our country. She has the belief that she will one day be rich like those she looks to for leadership. This is one who would step on their own child to get out of the burning building. Is her physical eyesight gone too? From each according to their ability,to each according to their need.
Blasphemy!

10. Typical tea bagger right wing
conservative. I deal with one whose daughter would be dead were it not for Medicare, Medicaid and federal funding of medical research and experimental treatments yet she rails against govt. insurance for anybody, thinks Social Security should be gone (along with Medicare). Course she wants all this gone but no one better touch her daughters benefits. sigh

13. been there, I know one that has
a 24 year old son that is a quad due to a brain tumor. Has been a quad since he was 12 years old. One day he was railing against the social welfare net because everyone should have to pay for what they need and there are no free handouts in this country.

When I brought up the medicaid, and the rest of the welfare state he uses, it got very quiet on the jobsite.

Shortly thereafter,I found out my services weren't as critical as first thought. (the boss is a racist too)

16. Makes you wonder where their ability
to think went. This used to be a very intelligent questioning woman. I would hide her except I do care how her daughter is doing. Unfortunately they found another tumor today. Daughter , husband and 3 kids are living with mom and dad so it isn't like her mom doesn't know how much govt. help she is getting. A lot of it is that bubble. Reads nothing but right wing sites, only listens to Fox. Everyone else lies etc. I find it sad in so many ways and scary that so many are the same way.

17. ya know, I tried to read rightwing sites,
the radio at work only picks up talk radio (ingram/etc but thankfully no rush) Whenever I get to reading the spout of the day, I wonder, "what are these people eating or drinking that makes them believe this stuff?".

Scary it is, and many of them that are on the safety net will toss it away and then wonder what happened to their little world.

Keep the faith, Peace

14. FB group I'm in: "Republicans Are Idiots And Arguing With Them Is A Waste Of Time!"
You have a lot more patience than I can summon at this point. I'm glad that there are people who still try to carry on a logical dialogue with people who do not seem to be interested in , nor capable of, the same. I just can't do that anymore. I've tried and finally found it to be pointless. But I genuinely admire people like you who keep trying. Not meant to be snarky or sarcastic; I mean that sincerely. Someone still has to keep trying; it's just not something I can bring myself to do anymore. But, my god, the level of ignorance of this person and the millions like her really is mind-boggling.
