        Good point, but progresses really haven't. Obama, Pelosi and Reid have all said this is a stepping stone.

              Possibly, but I read a *lot* of the original Tommy's posts. He could be a bit thick at times, and certainly stubborn, but he was generally regarded as one of the two mostly rational conservative leaning types that frequent this forum. (The other, "Jeter2", I feel was a good strong cut more thoughtfully rational than Tommy, however.)

              RightON just seems different to me. Wording is a shade off, topics a shade off, approach a bit more hardcore nut-based conservative than the original Tommy's.

              Tommy was really a part of the group here. RightON feels more like a persistent quasi-nuisance.

          Beck was saying the HCR we have NOW is the bad, terrible, socialist thing - not that it's an okay thing as configured now, but is a stepping stone to socialist HCR in the future.

          Dradeeus made the point that what we have NOW with this HCR package is NOT socialism, and it's not. But thanks for trying to cover for Beck here.

          The Democratic Party is not the Socialist Party. That's a fearmongering scare tactic that the rightwing has been using for decades, and it's still not accurate.

        That can't be true! I don't think it forces anyone to buy insurance. That wouldn't make sense. The reason for the bill was to help people that can't afford to buy insurance.

      Hold on.

      Does the Government take over the health care system with this bill being passed? No, no it doesn't.

      I'm pretty sure that 99.99999998% of all industry in the US is still private.

      Glenn Beck is now officially 'Wacky Wingnut Bardo' and will henceforth be known as such.

      See how that works, Bardo? You can make whatever specious and ridiculous statement you like, but it has absolutely no effect on objective reality. Go ahead on and scream 'socialism' 'til you're red in the face. The American people woke up this morning, as they will each morning, in a world where health coverage is available for all. The sky will not fall, the world will not end, and we will fail to become Communist China. Slowly, one by one, they will waken from this nightmare you have spun in their minds, and they will quietly desert you, until you are left alone at last. Likely enough, you will die forgotten and unmourned, because your whole life has been centered around one thing and one thing only: Glenn Beck.

        Nor the word "Democratic", nor the word "officially", nor the word "Party", nor the words "Faith, Hope and Charity", O Jah... there are just too many words whose meaning GB doesn't know.

      Andthe Republican Party is officially known as "The Party that the mothers of Congressmen wear combat boots." Or, "the Party that lost to Nancy Pelosi" or the "PArty that was beeitch-slapped upside the head from little grandma."
