If a conservative is a liberal who's been mugged, a liberal is a
conservative who didn't save, smoked, had a heart attack, and expects
the suckers to pay for his condition.

Talk is cheap Tim, until *you* might need some help. None of us is an
island. The people in our country look after good people who might be
down on their luck. You are despicable to kick a man when he is down.

You and your fellow socialists, whom Gunner used to so strongly
criticize, need to be sent up the chimneys for stealing so much of our
money and then excusing it with the typical socialist cant about
"looking after good people."

Why not simply, by your logic, socialize all health care, food
distribution, and transportation? After all, someone might be "down on
their luck" (translation: didn't save, didn't invest, didn't find a
well-paying job, smoked, etc.) and need help because "none of us is an
island."

Up the chimneys with the lot of you.
