Congress Passes Socialized Medicine

A much needed history lesson...

In July of 1798, Congress passed – and President John Adams signed - “An Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen.” The law authorized the creation of a government operated marine hospital service and mandated that privately employed sailors be required to purchase health care insurance.

How to Eliminate Crime, Hate and Lies

According to Rush Limbaugh:

If we did those three or four things, I can't tell you what a sane, calm, civil, fun-loving society we would have. Take guns out of the possession, out of the hands of liberals. Take their typewriters and their keyboards away from 'em. Don't let 'em anywhere near a gun and control their speech, and you would wipe out 90 percent of the crime, 85 to 95 percent of the hate and 100 percent of the lies from society.

Gosh - who knew? So the Right wants to take away our guns and censor our speech! I was under the impression it was the leftist, socialist, commie President who wants to take away our guns and censor our speech.

Fooled again.
