sometimes it's hard to even fathom the underlying viciousness of conservatives.
I PLACE A CURSE ON YOUR HOUSE!
May all you hold dear... is lost to you!
Really funny, Beck, really, really funny.
Beck and his clone, Mag, would tell me to suck it up and work harder. [I continued to work as best I could for the 2 years prior to my last surgery and rarely missed any time except to go to the doctor and for my surgeries.] That's not a true conservative mindset which would support the tradition of caring for your neighbors as you care for yourself. It's just plain old lack of compassion and lack of humanity.
It seems to me that the conservative response to everything nowadays is to be a man and walk it off, of course, if you are wealthy then you get to get the help you require.
You should have that removed, and become a Neocon!!
(Seriously, good luck. I have an immune system that resembles "Wolverine/Logan" from the X-Men... was released from hospital the only time I was admitted after three days, instead of having surgery!!)
Conservatives get made fun of for having a "I've Got Mine, Everyone Else Can Drop Dead" sort of attitude. But what about the "You Have Yours So Give Me Some" attitude?
Beck is mocking the letters written by people in severe situations and in need. He's a nasty, uncaring, non-conservative POS. Nice guy you try to emulate there.
He couldn't possibly be mocking the uninsured for being denied coverage. It's all about "welfare queens". Cause we know Beck CARES. He's a COMMON MAN. He would NEVER, EVER, EVER mock those worse off than him. If he did, surely my conservative binary brain would EXPLODE.
There's a difference between looking for a hand out cause you suck, and not wanting to bankrupt over a medical bill or not being able to get insurance because the for-profit insurer just doesn't see how they are going to make a buck from your illness. Every other industrialized nation in the world has a health care system for their citizens. We're doing American Exceptionalism wrong. It's not supposed to mean, "...at the expense of it's own citizens."
Have a good one, Mag. And do some research on what you posted. You'll get your answers.
You will note that he is refuting the talking points that you posted. See, that's how I know they are talking points. When I see the same crap over and over and over again by folks like you, especially on the same day, it's a pretty good bet that you and the other got the "e-mail" of the day.
And here's Thomas Jefferson:Which shouldn't even apply here as there are laws in place to specifically prevent interstate commerce from happening with regards to health insurance.
The technological gains, and the social and financial changes we've made to adapt to those gains, happened for a reason. And I think we've adapted fairly well. But now we've got those that have sticky dreams about sending us back to that unregulated "paradise" without actually contemplating how people lived.
You forget the technological advancements and the new opportunities for exploitation they presented. So, I'm only gonna say this once, and you figure out how to take it :
If conservatives REALLY stood on their principles they would all be Luddites.
Also, A note about Beck...
If I only heard ONE specific phrase from Beck, I would still know that I oppose what he stands for and that he is a phony. (as it is MMFA has pages and pages on Beck...that you disregard)
That phrase was: "Progressives have built up this wall of separation church and state, and it's nonsense"
Insane. If you agree with Beck on that, I'm afraid you are too. I can no longer take anything Beck says seriously after hearing that.
Beck is not a libertarian. Beck is not an independent. Beck is another disguised neocon who is trying to get some of the "independent" vote.
Yeah, Mag -- let's go with Constitution EXACTLY as written 221 years ago.
That way, we can have
- slavery
- prohibition
- non-direct election of US Senators
- women not allowed to vote
- unlimited presidential terms
GREAT idea . . . /snark/
- They had to compromise on slavery in order to bring the country together after the Revolution. To say the Founders excepted and condoned slavery is a gross overstatement. John Jay summed it up well:
"prohibition"
- Prohibition wasn't in the original Constitution. Our Founders loved the ale.
"non-direct election of US Senators"
- The non-direct election of Senators served as one of the many checks and balances built into the Constitution. It was a good thing.
"women not allowed to vote"
- Were women expressly banned from voting in the Constitution? Or was it just the way things were done back then?
"unlimited presidential terms"
- Oh, no. You got me there. Things were going fine until FDR screwed it up.
And there's nothing contradictory between the dean's general welfare statment and Jefferson's. Read them again.
Well, there's where your argument falls to pieces. It is the general welfare to try to prevent thousands of deaths and bankruptcies due to a lack of affordable health insurance.
My question to you (from Rep. Weiner/NY): What do the insurance companies bring to the table in regards to health care?
I don't believe for a minute that the GOP naysayers have any interest in helping the average person, because instead of constantly refusing to work on anything, like calling the summit a trap, they should be actively voicing opinions. Rarely do I see a show where a Republican offers their take on policy. Instead it is how the Democrats are screwing up...
I don't believe for a minute that Beck is mocking the mentality of the woman mentioned. Beck and his cohorts are mocking the America in need, which includes some of the ignorant tea party adherents, but they have been fooled into believing in a continuation of corporate takeover of our Republic.

Hey Glenn, way to live up to those Christian values you claim to live by. You're using "turn the other cheek" in the wrong context here, you fake. You fraud.
The Troglodytes can't allow that to happen, so they make fun of the victims, hoping to portray them as losers and parasites (See Maggie Moo's post above).
We can all play the hateful game Glenda.
I find it funny {funny strange, not funny ha-ha} that Beck and his cronies mock the troubles of REAL people -- while putting a fake plumber up on a pedestal . . .
