US Marine puts US Congressman in his place.
 
This is great. A USMC vet has his way with Democrat Congressman Brian Baird. Very heartwarming to see real Americans standing up to these big government liberal types.

He made some good points but I'm a tad disappointed that the Congressman's response wasn't included.

So you have somene who worked for the government , gets an education plan from the government , healthcare from the government and if he worked for long enough for the government gets a retirement plan from the government complaining that the government should butt out.

No thats a normal division throughout this farcical healthcare debate.
If someone agrees with what is being said then the person saying it is a real American , if they oppose what is being said then the person saying it is un-American.
It's a wonderful division and it works for both sides , the fact that it is nonsense doesn't make it that strange really.
Entertaining would be a much better word than strange.

Typical right wing BS. Doesn't make sense, but it sounds tough, and that's all that counts.

He's a Marine vet, so whatever he says has to be extra-true!

"Stay away from my children!" Dey ain't go no need for edjikation.

He gets pissed off because the plan preserves the right that he cares so much about. Brilliant. Would he be happier if it didn't give him what he wanted?

How has the congressman violated his constitutional oath? He hasn't? But it sounded all good and tough, right? That's all that counts for right wingers in this debate (read: shouting match).

"The Nazis did X, Y and Z, and so have we!" They built an interstate, and so have we! Horrors! Because EVERY LAST THING the Nazis did was wrong and dripping with evil.

The Nazis took over health care! OH NOES! We must save the UK, France, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Italy, Spain, Canada, Australia, etc. They've all been duped into adopting Nazi policies! Sweden must be a Nazi hell! (Or a fascist, communist, socialist or Marxist hell; we don't care what the words mean, all we care about is how they sound.) We must liberate them at once! It's certainly not the case that these countries adopted national health care systems because they actually work, and work better than ours. That's impossible. The US is the best in everything that has ever existed!

And he is wrong on history. The Nazis weren't left wing. If they were left wing, why did votes for RIGHT WING PARTIES dry up with their rise in popularity, while left wing parties experienced a much smaller decline?

And yes, how dare this administration AND THE PREVIOUS REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION take drastic measures to try and stave off another Great Depression. It would have been much better to do nothing, and let unemployment reach 30%.

And the thing is, he actually had notes to read off of. He took notes, and that was the best he could do?

We conveniently don't know what the Democrat's response was, but I can imagine it was weak-kneed and pathetic. They have to start calling these idiots out on their BS.

What's funny is that for the last 8 years, those of us who protested the wars were labelled loons and un-American. Now all of a sudden protesting makes you a "real American". :doh:

Yeah, the guy's argument was so devastating, we were reduced to "Well....Uh....yeah...but BUSH = HITLER!1!!1" :roll:

It's ironic that you would write that, because half of what this guy did was basically say "OBAMA = HITLER!!1!1", which is just as moronic as the former slogan.

Just tell them what they told us for those eight years.

"This is America! Love it or leave it!"
