If you are one of the people who believe that all government run programs are socialist, then put up or shut up. Print out and sign the following pledge. Or post it on your own blog. Go ahead. I'll wait.
I, ________________________, do solemnly swear to uphold
the principles of a socialism-free society and heretofore pledge my
word that I shall strictly adhere to the following:
I will complain about the destruction of 1st Amendment Rights in
this country, while I am duly being allowed to exercise my 1st
Amendment Rights.
I will complain about the destruction of my 2nd Amendment Rights in
this country, while I am duly being allowed to exercise my 2nd
Amendment rights by legally but brazenly brandishing unconcealed
firearms in public.
I will foreswear the time-honored principles of fairness, decency,
and respect by screaming unintelligible platitudes regarding tyranny,
Nazi-ism, and socialism at public town halls.
I pledge to eliminate all government intervention in my life. I
will abstain from the use of and participation in any socialist goods
and services including but not limited to the following:
Social Security
Medicare/Medicaid
State Children’s Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP)
Police, Fire, and Emergency Services
US Postal Service

Socialist Byproducts of Government Investment Such as Duct Tape and Velcro (Nazi-NASA Inventions)

If a veteran of the government-run socialist US military, I will
forego my VA benefits and insist on paying for my own medical care
I will not tour socialist government buildings like the Capitol in Washington, D.C.

All other public-funded socialist sites, whether it be in my state or in Washington, DC
I will urge my Member of Congress and Senators to forego their government salary and government-provided healthcare.
I will oppose and condemn the government-funded and therefore socialist military of the United States of America.
I will boycott the products of socialist defense contractors such as
GE, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics,
Raytheon, Humana, FedEx, General Motors, Honeywell, and hundreds of
others that are paid by our socialist government to produce goods for
our socialist army.
I will protest socialist security departments such as the Pentagon,
FBI, CIA, Department of Homeland Security, TSA, Department of Justice
and their socialist employees.
Upon reaching eligible retirement age, I will tear up my socialist Social Security checks.
Upon reaching age 65, I will forego Medicare and pay for my own private health insurance until I die.
