“I AM AN AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE SHITHEEL”

I AM AN AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE SHITHEEL

This morning,  I woke up to my radio alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly run by a state agency and supported by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility with its quality monitored by the Environmental Protection Agency.

After that, I turned on the TV to one of the Federal Communication Commission regulated channels to see what the National Weather Service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

At the appropriate time as regulated by the US Congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I got into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal Departments of Transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issued by the federal reserve bank.

On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service (USPS) and drop the kids off at the public school.

After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal’s inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it’s valuables thanks to the local police department.

I then log on to the internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration (DARPA) and post on freerepublic.com and Fox News forums about how the government better keeps its hands off my Medicare and to remind everyone that SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can’t do anything right.

    Most of those are government regulated, not government operated.

    Yes … sort of. And, so …?

    Re health care, is there a bill that creates a universal, government operated health care system?

    Re energy, is there a bill creating a nation-wide energy system run by the government?

    And just because FERC, EPA, FDA, OSHA, USDA, and USPS do those things, doesn’t mean they do them well.

    Hmmm … they don’t do things perfectly, basically nothing does. But the mail gets the doorstep … worker safety has improved over the years …
