Appreciating Our Socialistic "Goodies"

WHEN I ARGUE with conservatives, which is constantly, I like to bring up Denmark. The most democratic-socialistic country in the world, with the highest standard of living and happiness. When I bring up Denmark, the cons never try the "socialism doesn't work" crap. They never try to remind me that socialism has never worked anywhere its been tried, and that its failed everywhere its been tried. How could they? If they tried, I'd have to mention Denmark again, and then mention American socialism, which is everywhere, and works like a charm. But the cons always fight back, somehow. Its hilarious: Denmark's people have no real freedom. Socialism may work there, but it'll never work here. And the latest, and maybe the best, from a friend of mine: "the Danish navy has five thousand members. America has that many on one carrier. America defends the whole world, on our dime, and our allies don't pay a cent. We can't afford all their Danish socialist goodies." And yes, he used the word "Danish socialist goodies." Now that we've agreed that socialist goodies are desirable but currently unaffordable, and we know why, and we've agreed how we could afford it - let's do it! Let's remove all American military personnel from anywhere outside the borders of the United States, defend only America, drastically cut defense spending, stop defending these ungrateful moochers like Denamrk, and let them fend for themselves. If they can do it, and keep their "goodies", more power to them. If they get swallowed up by some Russian or Chinese horde, its not our American problem. And let's Americans spend our money on goodies, like health care, infrastructure, and education, for people - ourselves - who'll truly appreciate them.
