On CNN, former tennis player Martina Navratilova praised "one good thing" about growing up under Communism: "we had government health care."

Navratilova slammed those who shut down the government "because we don't want for people to be healthy? We don't want people to be taken care of? It's crazy."

Is there a Hall of Fame for great athletes who also are superlatively stupid?

I don’t know why, but I’m continually amazed how extraordinarily simple minded liberals are.

Someone should ask Butch Navratilova what she thinks her life would have been like if she had continued to live under communism. Would she have been able to live the comfortable life America's freedoms afforded her? How tolerant would her communism have been of alternative lifestyle?

Yeah, I'm sure the free healthcare in the USSR was every bit as great as it is in Cuba.

>> under Communism: “we had government health care.”

Of course she doesn’t speak to its quality, but draws the essential correlation to Communism.

This IS a good comment for our side.

Athletes and celebrities literally live in another world so different from ours that they see a different reality. I’m sure she had the best free medical care imaginable. But the elderly Russians worked until they couldn’t and then they died.

Listen Mr. Martina Navratilova, you aren’t even a citizen of the USA. Go back over and find some Wastern European communists paradise.

I knew there had to be other reasons why I disliked Navratilova so much. Here again folks is liberal “logic” on display to the fullest. I take it by “we” don’t want to provide healthcare she means evil, icky Republicans. Of course, Republicans want other people to die. It can’t be anything to do with the constitution can it Martina? I’m sure doctors, the majority of whom are conservative, want everybody to die so they don’t have to pay their doctor bills. Because if they’re dead, then doctors don’t get any money from them. Uh, what was your argument again Martina? Hey Martina, do you think we should subsidize everybody? Buy everyone a house, food, clothing, a boat...maybe a pony? Why not?
