If a veteran of the government-run socialist US military, I will forego my VA benefits and insist on paying for my own medical care
I will not tour socialist government buildings like the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
I pledge to never take myself, my family, or my children on a tour of the following types of socialist locations, including but not limited to:
•Smithsonian Museums such as the Air and Space Museum or Museum of American History
•The socialist Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson Monuments
•The government-operated Statue of Liberty
•The Grand Canyon
•The socialist World War II and Vietnam Veterans Memorials
•The government-run socialist-propaganda location known as Arlington National Cemetery
•All other public-funded socialist sites, whether it be in my state or in Washington, DC
Bob – wouldn’t the Health Care bill be Publicly funded…. ie in most Reps view “Socialist”?
Why me – “know that infrastructure, education , and maintaining a free and peaceful society are NOT socialist programs just because the Gov. pays for them”

First of all personal attacks are not needed nor warranted here, secondly if these things are NOT a part of socialism, then why are people saying that the health care reform bill is socialism?
