Healthcare is for Liberal Wimps!
State, National, International, posted by Buford, a resident of the Birdland neighborhood, on Jul 27, 2009 at 12:39 pm

The way I figure, healthcare and doctors are for liberal wimpy people. My daddy never went to no doctor or dentist and he lived to be 57! If my daddy got a toothache, he simply took a couple shots of Wild Chicken Whisky and got out the pliers. No fancy dentist needed. One time when I was a boy in Texas, I broke my leg. I didn’t go to a doctor. I just prayed to Jesus until it got better! Maybe some of you wouldn’t have gotten sick in the first place if you went to church a little more.

Here are some of my solutions help sick people without resorting to communist health care:

•Toughen up

•Pray and go to church more

•Buy some Wild Chicken Whisky to kill the pain

•Pray even more

•Eat red meat

•Learn how to pull up your bootstraps

•Watch Glenn Beck

•Spend a little time on the Richard Pombo ranch

Wonderful post! We all needed a good laugh to reduce the tension, so Thanks Buford.

Believe it or not, this pretty much sums up the Republican's idea of healthcare reform. Funny and sad at the same time.
