Isn't It Called Hypocrisy?

RECEIVED Mon., March 22, 2010

Dear Editor,
    With all of the uproar over the recent passage of Obama's health care reform, I have a question to those among us that are so incensed. How many of them will reject taking advantage of the benefits of this legislation when they need them? Not a damned one of them will. These types also railed against the passage of Medicare in the Sixties and Social Security in the Thirties among other "socialist" programs that the Democratic Party has given us over the years, yet they sure have learned to live with them and enjoy the benefits of them when they need them. It's called hypocrisy.
