to the capitalists running the system.

This is not a "hybrid" I can support.

6. I get a kick out of the retired people bitching about Obama being a socialist...

and I tell them they are hypocrites to their face because they are on "social" security and Medicare.

8. My dearly departed Dad...

...was a dittohead.

He would rail against "socialized medicine" while on Medicare.

Truly stunning.
