Bette Midler: If We'd Lost The Revolutionary War, We'd Have Universal Health Care

Bette Midler is taking a different approach.

The Parental Guidance star imagines a world in which the U.S. lost the war for its independence, but it's not like that's a bad thing. After all, she argues, that would mean we'd finally have socialized medicine.

Bette in a burka might not thrill her so much.

Her ugly horse face hidden in a burka would thrill me.

[rintense]

Hey Bette! If your mama had an abortion, we wouldn’t have to listen to your pie hole!

[napscoordinator]

I don’t understand these people. What does she have to worry about. She will just pay out of pocket if something isn’t covered. I don’t care that she made her money by singing and making movies. She deserves every penny. However, those of us who were not born with that type of gift are going to have to forgo some coverage and tests with medical if this Universal Health Care goes through.

That should get her another role in some hackfest movie.

Then thank God we did not lose.

I heard an English professor on the radio yesterday say that Shakespeare would be more at home with American English than he would be with the English spoken in Stratford today.

If we lost the cold war we would have socialized medicine.

Heck, we WON the cold war and we have socialized medicine!

No, Bette, the Brits would have used America as a resource to expand their empire. Americans would still be 2nd class citizens, slavery would still exist, and no, there wouldn't be health care for all because all the advancements that came from this side of the pond would never have happened. Empires, sad to say, stifle growth and innovation.

And you would probably be dead you blithering idiot. Without us the Germans would probably have won WW2 and have taken over what would have been British territory here in present day USA. AND you know what the WW2 Germans thought of and did to dumb assed Yentas ... like you

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I don’t think she had any family here at that time.

[skeeter]

Shut up and sing sweetie.

"Wind Beneath My Wings"?

Bette, just shut up.

[umgud]

We’d also have lost our 2nd amendment rights too. Of course some say we’ve lost most of them anyway.

Rochelle Rochelle!

Hollywood traitorous scum.

If you remember "The Rose"

"Some say stupid, it is Bette,
The words spew from her face.
Some say brain-dead, it is Midler,
That she's been inhaling mace.
Some say dumb, and some say simple,
A scratch she cannot itch.
And to you, fat fatuous cow,
I say Happy 4th, dim-witted bitch!"

I’ll take “idiots on parade” for $200 Alex.

When Barbra Streisand stopped making public comments on political issues, I was worried that no one would step up to fill the role of “stupidest female signer-actress who makes obnoxious, airheaded liberal comments.” I’m glad to see Bette is stepping up to the challenge.

OMG, lmao, priceless!

This is right up there with Chelsea blaming 9/11 on the “Bush Tax Cuts”.

[7thOF7th]

Just think, if Hitler had won WW2, as a Jew, she would be dead! When will these “self inflated sense of worth” actors and athletes get a clue that the real world only wants to see them act? Leave the intellectual exercise to people who have the capacity to understand facts and data.
