American Conservatives Threaten To Move To Canada To Escape ‘Socialized Medicine’
on June 28, 2012 at 3:05 pmSeriously? Seriously?! Addicitnginfo reports:
In what can only be described as a phenomenon of the Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof Sci-fi variety, hordes of dyspeptic right-wingers (I’m guessing) took to Twitter to express their sheer outrage and threatened to ’move to Canada’ to escape socialized medicine. I sorely wish that was a type-o but it is much too much true. Perhaps these individuals will encourage citizens of Bahrain to move to Syria to escape despotism or maybe pour gasoline on a fire to put it out. Something even more ironic would be if these people actually learned about other countries and systems of government.
“I’m moving to Canada, the United States is entirely too socialist,” tweets @WallyWeldon
“The supreme court upheld Obama Care. That’s it. I’m moving to Canada!,”tweets @lucasdargis.
“#SCOTUS holds up free healthcare for everyone?! Screw this commie country, I’m moving to #Canada!, ” tweets @Vansummers
I honestly didn’t think conservatives could get any stupider than “Keep your government hands off my Medicare!” But this? This is a whole new level of dumb. It is possible that these are jokes. I’m not holding my breath, though.
I don’t think there is any westernized country that they can go to (or even very many so-called “Third World” countries) that would meet their criteria.
Maybe the dimbulblicans can take Mitt and go live with the Soviets.
Presuming that they HAVE criteria. That would require thinking, a skill they obviously haven’t developed.
Okay, if you insist.
Hahahhaha nabbed your post for my post.
Is it really any surprise that these are the same people who support cutting education? How dare you learn anything ever!
What a patriotic display of patriotism these patriots are patriotically displaying. Goooooo USA!
Urgh.. Canadian here… please keep these people… my poor country couldn’t take the brain drain if all those mouth breathers showed up here…
I live in Seattle. I will try and keep them from running over the border.
I cant stand the heat anymore. I’m moving to Florida, LOL.
Kinda makes me smile at their stupidity… Canada has universal healthcare, which makes them much more socialist than America.
This has got to be one of the funniest posts I’ve ever read. Don’t those poor t-baggers know that any country without universal healthcare is not only going to be a 3rd or 4th world place, but they as whites would be greatly in the monority. Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire!!!
Thank you for another rib-tickling observation. Being able to find the humor is a rare gift.
Is that a promise? Please let it be!7605743784
Please go! Please take your hatred an mess up ttheir country!
This reminds me of when Rush Limbaugh threatened to move to Costa Rica if the health reform passed. They also have some form of single-payer if I remember correctly.
We really are devolving aren’t we? John Taylor Gatto was right.
