Rick, there is no way that I can compare to or compete with you. Even if my point of view is obviously the right one, you have been the king of pissing matches on this forum for too long. Instead, I am just going to try to learn from the master.
Define "free." You mean free for the people receiving the benefit, right? Because it's not free for those of us paying for it.
Step 1: Even if a posters intent and message is clear, pick out a technicality to attack and discredit.
How about free motorcycle helmets, weight reduction surgery, automobile tires (bad tires cause accidents), life insurance (can't have families not being protected and going on welfare), etc.?
Step 2:Make a few comparisons that have nothing to do with the conversation. The sillier the statement the better, tempting your adversary to wade deeper into the pissing contest
Of course, unless you're Obozo, you can't issue an executive order requiring free convenience items.
Step 3: Finally, always close with Obama. Game. Set. Match. Bitches.
