In her Morning No diary on Thursday, Natasha linked to Digby writing about Gregory Lee Giusti, arrested on Wednesday for repeatedly threatening Nancy Pelosi. Giusti, it turns out, has lived in subsidized housing for at least around a decade. After enduring close to a year now of a Medicare-based movement against public health care, don't ask me why this particular individual pushed my past my own personal tipping point, but somehow he did. I've had enough.
Look, it's time for these people to exercise a little personal responsibility. If they don't like socialism, fine. They should just stop relying on it. Don't wait for anybody else. Take some personal responsibility, dammit! Here's how. This 10-point list is not a comprehensive guide-personal responsibility means finding things out for yourself! It's just a guide on getting started, so you start to get the hang of recognizing and rejecting socialism wherever it is But be warned, if you limit yourself to just these ten steps, the socialist will win. So start here, but don't stop! Don't stop until you've destroyed every vestige of socialism in your life. Teabaggers everywhere, take heed! This is how to throw off the shackles of socialism, once and for all! Spread the message far and wide! Defeat socialism in your own life. Don't wait for anyone else to do it for you!
- (1) If you live in subsidized housing, like Gregory Lee Giusti , move. Into the street, if necessary. But not to a shelter. All shelters receive government support one way or another-either getting money directly from the government, using government-subsidized resources, or being subsidized via the tax code.
(2) If you're on food stamps, tear them up, throw them away, and don't get any more. Just starve. Food banks are a no-no, just like shelters. All non-profits are government subsidized through the tax code.
(3) If you're on Medicaid, or your children are on SCHIP, just say no! Pay out of pocket or get sick and die. Like the man said, "Give me liberty AND give me death!"
(4) If you are on Medicare, drop out. Refuse to use your Medicare card, and pay for all your medical expenses yourself. You can try to get medical insurance, of course. Good luck with that. Aside from supplemental Medicare coverage, you'll probably have to go to Switzerland, or something.
(5) Pull your kids out of school. Obviously, public schools are socialist. But so are charter schools that receive public money. And even purely private schools employ teachers who went to public school. Yes, I know it's shocking, but it's true! So, no school! It's socialist, through and through.
(6) Stay off the streets. Almost all streets, roads and highways in America are socialist. Private roads are incredibly rare, so unless you live on one, stay off the streets entirely. Besides, you can't buy gas without paying state and federal taxes.
(7) Stay off the sidewalks. They're just as socialist as the streets, if not moreso.
(8) Stop using municipal water. Municipal water is socialist. Use only commercial bottled water for cooking, bathing, clothes-washing, etc.
(9) Tell the fire department to screw off. Notify your local fire department that if your house catches on fire, you do not want them to come. They're socialists, after all. You'd rather have your children die a horrible death.
(10) Tell the police to screw off, too! Notify your local police department that you don't need their help if anyone steals your stuff, or tries to kill you or anything like that. In fact, you'll kill them if they try. You've warned them politely... this time!
