NHS Opened the Door

Submitted by Larry, Jul 6, 2007 17:59

Here's what I learned from your article:

1. If I vote for a single-payer national health care program, I will be facilitating international terrorism. I probably will die as a result.

2. People who practice Islam are out to kill me, so I better kill them first.

Thanks for enlightening me.
