I got Mine for Free!!

.
While watching the morning news (Fox News with the beautiful Megyn Kelly of course!), two consecutive commercials came on.

The first depicted a man who had apparently over indulged in a life time of potato chips and Fat Burgers and developed diabetes. He was happy to say that he got a new blood glucose machine that was provided to him for free by Medicare.

The second commercial had a woman sitting on an electric wheel chair while she folded her laundry. Her thighs smothered the contraption to the point that I couldn't even tell what color it was. But the nearly flat tires looked like they were white walls. She was excited to tell me about how the machine had changed her life and exclaimed, "And I got mine for free!"

Let me tell you folks, "There ain't nothing for free!" But there is something called Socialism, and these are but just two examples of it. "There isn't anything wrong with spreading the wealth around." That's what Obummer said. And that's why those things are free for some people. They are not free for everyone.

So someone had to pay for those machines, and it was the someones like me and perhaps, you. Now, I am usually a very caring and giving person. Need help, just ask and I'll chip in more than my share for a good cause. But I don't like the government taking my money, without asking, to redistribute it as it pleases, especially to those that have created their own problems.

I just don't have much sympathy for those that have never contributed, or dug themselves into their own pit, and then expect help. It is free to them because they have never contributed anything. And these are just two people that I'm talking about. I won't go on. but just look around. And now they're even talking about giving the Gitmo terrorists welfare if they are not convicted and released into America.

Sorry, I need to get away from the TV and out to the Thought Dock. It's depressing in here!

  1. I believe you have provided evidence that the right-winged Fox News Network is slowly sliding to the left. How dare they provide an outlet for socialism! But think about this ~ the cheese handouts didn't start in 2009 but millions have provided an excellent review of the free cheese ~ including the farmers that were subsidized in the effort. I'll go with the farmers any day of the week. Save Our Farms!!!

    Happy Mother's Day.
