This is hilarious. Please remember this video anytime someone tells you that a public option, or a Govt. run healthcare system would be terrible.

Dear Diary

This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by socialist electricity
generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of
Energy. I then took a shower in the socialist clean water provided by the
municipal water utility.
After that, I turned on the socialist radio to one
of the FCC regulated channels to hear what the socialist National Weather
Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration
determined the weather was going to be like using socialist satellites
designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space
Administration.
I watched this while eating my breakfast of socialist US
Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the socialist drugs
which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration.

At the appropriate time as kept accurate by the socialist National Institute
of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my
socialist National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile
and set out to work on the socialist roads build by the socialist local,
state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to
purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the socialist
Environmental Protection Agency, using socialist legal tender issued by the
Federal Reserve Bank.
On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to
be sent out via the socialist US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the
socialist public school.
If I get lost, I can use my socialist GPS
navigation technology developed by the United States Department of Defense
and made available to the public in 1996 by President Bill Clinton who
issued a policy directive declaring socialist GPS to be a dual-use
military/civilian system to be managed as a national socialist asset.

After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the
socialist workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, enjoying another two meals
which again do not kill me because of the socialist USDA, I drive my
socialist NHTSA car back home on the socialist DOT roads, to my house which
has not burned down in my absence because of the socialist state and local
building codes and socialist fire marshal's inspection, and which has not
been plundered of all it's valuables thanks to the socialist local police
department.

I then get on my computer and use the socialist internet which was developed
by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and browse the
socialist World Wide Web using my graphical web browser, both made possible
by Al Gore's socialist High Performance Computing and Communication Act of
1991. I then post on freerepublic.com and fox news forums about how
SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right.

@Ilikenuman @ProportionalResponse - Imagine if the state had a monopoly on cupcakes. Free-marketers would say that the state monopoly on cupcakes is bad because it lacks the profit-loss feedback mechanism, leading to improper allocation of resources, and it would lack the incentive to offer a good service. It would be retarded to say "THE STATE OFFERS CUPCAKES, SO FUCK YOU, YOU BOURGEOIS ANTI-CUPCAKE PIG!", because it would be ignoring the arguments given by free-marketers.

[xXMetalMeltdownXx]

@Ilikenuman @ProportionalResponse - Very strange argument that Proportional is giving here, I like to call it "the argument from existence". It's a complete non-sequitur, free-marketers generally think that these things would be better off left to the market, simply pointing at these things and saying that they exist is dishonest and completely ignores the argument. If socialists want to have credibility, they should argue for the superiority of the state in offering these services.

Oh my goodness me! You Americans are a bunch of government dependant, socialist, commies pinkos!

Pinkoes?  Pink Ohs! I have no idea how to it should be spelt.

@SkeptikSnarf I am subbing to you on the strength of this video alone

[DeeDemonwitch]

@hugesinker that video was brought to you by the SSS ~ Socialist Sarcastic Society ;)

[hugesinker]

Many of the things mentioned here are not "socialist" at all, merely collaborative non-prophet entities or technologies which happened to be partially developed by government agencies.

However, I think the argument is essentially--

Government currently has monopolies on certain services.

You use many of these services provided by the government.

Therefore, you should support government monopolies or else you are a hypocrite.

*facepalm*

[Ilikenuman]

Damn right bro!

Infact, if the state nationalised my favourite icecream company, and I continued eating that brand of icecream, that would make me a hypocrit and a proponent of socialism!

Great argument, those fundie conservatards are fucking retards. Something is paid for by the government, therefore it could ONLY have been paid for by the government, theyre idiots!

Ron Paul, more like Ass Hole, right?
