Reply #175: I wonder what those racist, xenophobic Mexicans would think of your post. [View All]

You're not even entitled to EMERGENCY health care down there if you get hurt. Here, our of 12-15 million illegals we have a large number of them with nothing emergently wrong, using the emergency room as primary care, sticking taxpayers with the bill and closing down a bunch of hospitals in the south.

One of the reasons we lose elections is because of posts like yours, in which you show an amazing eagerness to have Americans pay for the woes of the entire world. Most Americans, at least by every poll I've seen, want less spent on foreign aid and less spent on social services for illegals. If I weren't already a Democrat and was reading through DU to see the positions in issues, most threads here would steer me towards becoming a Democrat. Your post would have sent me rocketing to the other side just to see if they sounded any more reasonable - and they'd pretty much have to.

I don't have a problem with real emergency care for an illegal whose life is in danger or who has broken a bone, but I have a problem with providing them any other kind. I have a problem with illegals in no real danger being driven up to our hospitals because they know we have to pick up the tab, but most of all I have a problem with your post.

I DO think we need to protect our citizens first, I do NOT think my tax money is a foreign entitlement. You don't agree? Fine. But what really has me "ripped up right now," as you put it, is the "and fuck you if you don't agree with me, you piece of shit" tone of your post. First you imply that those who don't agree with you are freetards, and then you adopt the tone of a freetard yourself. What you wrote is no different in principle than the freetardish "if you're not for the war, you hate the troops and hate America."

Reasonable people can disagree. I'm not sympathetic towards people who want freebies at our expense and can't be bothered to register, whereas you are. That doesn't make me scum or a fucking freetard for not buying what you're selling, and a skillful Repug politician could spin you into a communist who wants Americans taxed to the hilt to pay for everyone. That's how we lose fucking elections and why we have such a fucking dildo in office.

I know lots of people who think exactly as you do on this issue, and we get along very well. There's always the chance that you and I agree on most other issues, but after hearing the way you presented this one I really couldn't care less what you think. By putting up a post that actually makes you sound as maniacal and unreasonable as a freetard, you're really not helping, but if it makes you feel better just keep on pounding everyone who doesn't think EXACTLY as you do on every issue. Spread the word in your style, get it to everyone, after which you and I can get together in January of 2009 and we can watch the inauguration of President Allen.

Like I said, you're really not helping.
