Beck: "[I]t is not time to pick up guns" or "blow anything up"
He adds: "But it is time to stand up. ... The question is: Which side will win?"

Once again, it seems that this nut has a blog and has notations, racial about Obama back in November just after the election.
I'll look for the website.

and Fox News? Please.
DUDE: The "loony" was a conservative. A right-winger. And a racsist. Period.
Don't think changing teh subject is goign to fool anyone.
In this recession, the general public had no money to keep our consumer-driven economy going. The only entity with the money to spend is the government.
Yes there's additional debt but I'm guessing you'd rather have a full-blown depression with companies failing right and left.
I've got a bumber sticker for you:
LET 'EM FAIL
If you have specific concerns with anything in this legislation, then by all means spell them out. Just saying "big gov't" ain't gonna fly. Big Gov't under Bush didn't CAUSE the recession, and I'm not going to crticise him on that alone. (I only bring it up becuase that seems to be the firts thing you guys say about BHO, forgetting that both GWB and RWR both expanded the gov't considerably in their admin's. So I'm just calling you out, that's all.) So let's stop with the whole gov't=bad nonsense.
Everyone on our side has been clear on what we don't like about the current system, and I'm sure you've heard the argument ad nauseum, so I'm not going to repeat them here. But you'll need to do more that raise "scary questions" about "big pharma" and invoke "big gov't." If you have specific concerns, by all means LET US KNOW WHAT THEY ARE.
And you also stated that you don't trust corporations either. So we're back to "TRUST NO ONE." And there's no wisdom in that, becuase if you trust no one, then nothing will ever get done.
You still haven't stated what you think is so terrible about what they're proposing other that to raise the spectre of "spooky big gov't" again. They answer to us. The founding fathers (as you point out) saw to that. Doing what we want is, and doing stuff that works, is still the easiest way for them to keep their jobs. And the fact is that most of america wants this, and all of america is getting screwed by the current system - and by DESIGN, not EXCEPTION. A good screwing is the only outcome that can be expected frop the current system.
SO... 3rd or 4th time now...: WHAT IS YOUR SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH THE LEGISLATION AS IT STANDS?
http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/06_33/b3997089.htm
It leaves out the BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars in PROFIT that insures make - all money that's 100% WASTED relative to providing me health care. Why should I pay THEM that much? Not to mention that $20+ Million dollar salaries that are paid to ins. co. top exec's even BEFORE that profit is figured! Why should they get so much, just for denying me coverage?!
You con's make it so easy. Your "evidence" doesn't even support your point. Or is your point that we SHOULD be denying people care? In that case why do you use that as a CRITICISM of the proposed legislation? (Not that the legislation would anythign of the sort, but y'all keep saying it will, as if you think that's a BAD THING.) Come back once you get some consistancy.
You offer nothing but "gov't=bad" and "there's no real problem." You got nothin'. Bad information and no ideas. You MUST be a conservative.
Congratulations. Your lot's campaign of misinformation and propaganda is working. You must be pround to have been able to misinform so many so thouroughly in so little time.
RE: Free market (con't)
I too believe in the free market for most things. But, having aced graduate level econ (both micro and macro) and earned my MBA, with honors, I also knwo HOW and WHY the free market works so well in almost every case. But knowing and understanding it as thouroughly and deeply as I do, I also know WHEN it doesn't work, can't work really, and WHY. And health care is one of those areas where the free amrket can't possibly do what any rational person would want it to.
Non-profit hospitals and universal coverage is the only way to unsure the GOOD kind of competition that you refer to. The current system only encourages COST and QUANTITY competition, not QUALITY.
PROFITS OVER PEOPLE
That's their philosophy in a nutshell. It amazes me the people who defend health care profits when it has produced an expensive,inefficient, and, to some, deadly system.
You teabagging terrorists claimed OBL was listening to American media when someone dared criticize herr dubyah during his facade of war. Please don't make this so easy in the future.
Doesn't mean that he believes ANY of the nonsense he's spewing, just means that YOU do and he's rolling in the dough, laughing at all of you poor folks who believe him.
- REPUBLICAN backers and CONSERVATIVE interests.
Who's watching him?
- White people who vote republican, for any number of reasons, but primarilily because they are easily influence by "entertainers" like Glenn Beck. (And they very rich - they get a pass on this one issue alone.)
So who benefits?
- The VERY RICH who pay him and who beenfit for the policies enacted by the party that benefits from his influencing the masses. (IOW - REPUBLICNAS.)
Who's Hhrt by it?
- The other 98% of America, both the Democrats voting to fix this mess, and the Rpeublincas who have been duped by people like Beck into thinking that it can only get worse if we try to do ANYTHING AT ALL, when in fact it is only people like Beck who will pay more, but they'r rather keep some mroe of their millions while everyone who actually WORKS for a living continues to participate in the on-going eugenics project that is privatised health care.
So what's your point? Oh yeah - you got nothin'. We take him seriously because he DOES REAL DAMAGE. Because he and his ilk are DANGEROUS. That's why. If you can't see that, say hi to MRS. Ostrich for me when you get home tonight.
Obama kills! The web kills! Glenn Beck made him do it!
I for one blame the shooter. Are you with me?
I wonder if he made this statement without his Patented Frown.
Mr. Beck is a Joke to everyone except Fox News.
To Fox Mr. Beck is the one that pays all their Corporate Dues.
Speak truth to power.
Mr. News
by staggering numbers.
Speak Truth to Yourself.
It seems that someone over at Fox said, "Good job Glenn... But maybe a little too good. Please read over this legal memo delineatingn when free speech crosses the line into solicitation."
Folks, it's just barely possible that Beck is saying you're either for democracy and the Constitution, or you're in favor of letting massive insurance companies run your life.
Go back. Listen carefully. Seriously.
salary and attack that. Pathetic.
These words from the millionaire to his faithful audience of retires and under-paid workers just trying to get by each month.
For Beck to keep bringing this up recently means that he must have been given intel that his minions are planning something ...
in Germman society. The right in this country are for limiting
the power of government.
I keep forgetting that the new definition of a "lie" is anything that the listener does not like hearing or is anything that contradicts one's feelings.
It was fun reading (elsewhere) about Mr. Beck's mis-statement that the U.S. was the only country that automatically granted citizenship to a newborn. Anyone got anything a bit more substantive?
So sad you are just a complete moron fool and a waste of space here on the planet!
He said . . . with fingers crossed behind his back . . .
Do his viewers have to wait for 'the call' to lock and load?
just leave.
I got news for you. When you think it finally is time some of us will be waiting with our sights on YOU!!
Two things of interest though; Beck counts on his listeners not knowing that (probably cause he doesn't know himself) and maybe, just maybe, Beck's listeners are more or less open to the concept of an African dictator.
News Report: Commentator Glenn Beck was found dead in the middle of the street today. Police noted there were no indication that whoever hit Beck did not brake before colliding with him, in fact, apparently several vehicles deliberately swerved to hit him. It is estimated that at leave five vehicles collided with Beck, who was apparently standing in the middle of the street.
