So if socialism is what they want ( blinded as they are ) then socialism is what they'll get.

Don't blame me MrBob, if things get too out of hand.
YOur post is just ridiculous dribble stereotyping a generation you know nothign about and are lumping together so that you can dismiss them and ignore the problem. It's ridiculous. There are many generalizations i can make about YOUR generation based on stereotypes, but I wouldn't because I know they are simply that. stereotypes.

It's amazing how out of touch some people really are on these boards.

Then again.. that is precisely why the Republican ticket lost this past election.. because they are out of touch!

Very true.

I cannot believe that some people are actually like this.

I can understand that they dont want people taking advantage. For example, I work at Bath and Body Works. So many people come in and try to use the Welfare Card for cream.

But basics like, WATER...and FOOD....come on...

Dont be cruel.

People like hime want to compare getting food the same as getting healthcare.

Anyone can easily get a dollar and get something to eat. Food costs are not so rampant that it's out of touch for most people

Healthcare costs, however, are. AND if companies suddenly stopped offering coverage, there would be a MAJORITY of Americans that have no healthcare coverage and can not access healthcare due to the price tag attached.

For a buck, I can go down a buy a burger off the dollar menue.. and i can find that buck by scraping together change in my sofa seat. I can't scrape together that money to get my insulin.

Please, show me any post - ANY post, where someone has said, intimidated, suggested, rumored witholding or denying food, water or shelter to anyone.

You indicated above that "some people" have done this - now, show us where -

The post was clearly about nationalization of the various industries providing same.

No one advocates witholding food, water, shelter. To say they do is nothing more than fear mongering.

A lilberal trait btw

So you agree with this which was written in post #20, right?

"We would be a nation without a conscience or heart if we didnt find a way for everyone to receive

Food
water
housing
heat
electricity

right?"

You seem to filter everything through your own belief system. Everything you write about liberals applies equally or more so to many of the conservatives on this forum. A few people from either side use fear based arguments rather than logic, but it is by no means a liberal trait.

To liberals - the word "crisis" is a normal word. Everything is a "crisis".

No, Liberals are, IMO, famous, or infamous, for fear mongering.

And btw: Everyone filters through their own belief system. It is human nature
