Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soap, sugar, milk. Ice cream. Children's ice cream.

Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face. A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

Humorously the poster of that clip is apparently using it to argue for his conspiracy theory about fluoride.
A movie quote.
Not sure if you're sarcastic. If not, what does Communism have to do with anything?
I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
Well at least you're committed.
He's quoting Dr Strangelove, these are all quotes from the (excellent) film.
phew. That totally changes this from "dude..." to "added to list"
Sadly, there are some that haven't seen the film.

A classic.

That said, at least he isn't trying to get our POE.
You're going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.
Uh, Jack, Jack, listen... tell me, tell me, Jack. When did you first... become... well, develop this theory?
Please don't let this place become reddit.
I take your meaning, but that seems like a very unkind way of reinforcing what a basket full of downvotes already taught me.
You should watch 'Dr. Strangelove'.
