stupid, why anyone would wanna hate on someone who truly loves our country and values what the founding fathers established is beyond me...a waste of my time
alright watch this video and tell me if he doesnt love our country, hes experienced what America has been, what it is now and where its heading, he doesnt like where its moving towards and neither do I, I applaud him for standing up against this health care bill thats being shoved down our throats....watch and you will see,
shoved down our throats? you mean voted for by a simple majority? how dare they not allow it to be filibustered, something that wasnt supposed to be used but in dire situations, yet for some reason has become common place.
but this isnt about the issues. this is about the fact that he encourages irrationality and fear. i mean for christ sake he went on a rant about how the NBC building was a communist symbol. hes this decades McCarthy, a fear mongering, unintelligent, nutjob. he doesnt use facts, he twists his bs to fit his argument, ignoring what he wants to and showing what he pleases. mass media in general blows, but he, along with limbaugh, and a few others, are scum below the rest.
I know there is no point in arguing with you, so I'm not even going to bother trying.
But for the record, since that video of your oh-so-prized TV personality (/spin doctor/fear monger/grade A ignoramus...I couldn't hold back) got me thinking about delusional right-wingers, if Sarah Palin is elected President of the United States of America, I am moving to Canada.
I was going to make a comment about the frightening dangers of unregulated capitalism, but it's just really not worth it.
This isn't in response specifically to this video, but the stupidity of right-wing republicans astounds me. It's good to know that America is full of retards so quick to believe dumb shit...
yes its shoved down our throats, they are trying to pass the single greatest spending bill in the history of our country without fully reading and understanding whats all in there, sure maybe some people in Washington know whats in there but does WE as the Taxpayer know whats in there.....I dont want to have to pay for wasteful spending that is going to put us in debt so far we cant pay it back and its going to effect my children, my childrens children and so forth....so yes its being shoved down our throats because its evident that the Democrats in Washington are doing everything they can to quick pass this before America catches on to whats really going on, if its not that big of a deal why dont they just slow down and stop rushing things, if its so good why cant it wait until we have read it all first??....and im sorry, you think Glenn Beck is insane??? try the Czar like he said who's for your own pet filing law suits against their master....That is the biggest load of BULLSHIT Ive ever heard, I mean come on give me some of that shit they are smokin because that must be some good weed....Im sorry but that is no twisted BS thats a fact
lol. you clearly dont have ANY idea whats going on with the healcare bill. please do some more research before you spout off ignorance. but again, thats not the point. support conservative ideas if you want. fight healthcare if you want. but dont pretend that fear mongering morons like him have any credibility.
as to beck. some examples of his insanity.
evil communist propoganda from nbc
the census is an evil plot to control americans
a collection of general idiocy. some of it is poorly edited, some of it is truly just ignorance. i especially like the healthcare hypocrisy at around 3 minutes.
love our country? By spewing hate and fear mongering? He is out for himself and his cronies...not that what he is doing is much different than most politicians/loud tv personalities he just happens to be doing it louder
I thought he was a rip-off of Colbert for the longest time. His shit's so malformed and circular that it often seems contrived. I still watch his show occasionally.
Certainly not "all" you need to know about healthcare, but it is a start.
However, before we do have sweeping health care legislation put through, I would have first liked to see at least a few things tried.
1. Allow insurance companies to sell policies across state lines, let the market drive down prices.
2. Eliminate coverage mandates - Let people get plans tailored to
them, there are many things that must be covered that much of the
population does not need!
3. TORT reform
4. Higher deductibles - Eliminate the moral Hazard, people pay
there deductibles for the year then keep going to the Dr. ordering more
x-rays and other unnecessary procedures with out ever thinking of the
price. Make people shop around and help create an incentive for lower
prices. Then if something catastrophic does happen, the higher
deductible, while perhaps a slight burden, does not bankrupt the family
and more people will be able to afford health insurance.
5. HSA's - Individual health savings accounts the individual pays
into. This money is used first for primary care purposes. What ever is
not spent at the end of the year is returned to the consumer.
There are a few more things, but these in my eyes at least are changes that may have had a positive effect on our health care system, unfortunately though I don't think they will ever get the chance.
At least there won't be a public option though, I don't want to see1/6 of our economy completely controlled by our government.
