Anthony Cumia is a fucking idiot. He is abusing his power to spread retarded propaganda. Good socialism and communism are completely different. Norway has a lot of socialism, but it's still a lot more democratic (far from enough) than the US.
@jogeryjogo Propaganda might tell you that everybody can get a job in the US, but the playing field is far from level. Socialism is right even though it's taking money from others, because you can't trust rich CEOs to take care of, for example, the homeless. If the homeless aren't taken care of, it damages everybody because crime will increase, and it will have a negative effect on the milieu.
People are stupid. Obama's healthcare plan is conservative, it cuts the deficit, its about personal responsibility. It isn't gov't run healthcare. Now if this Anthony retard would look into things and not base his rants off his gut and the echo chamber of his retarded callers, he'd know that.
@zombie450 without welfare we'd have had another great depression come as a result of this recent recession. It serves a needed purpose, but the only problem is that its abused to the extreme
I like how guys like Ant cry about giving everyone health care but then they are silent about trillions given out in corporate welfare. And what did we get instead of free health care? A insurance company bailout.
They don't make health care a 'right' because its assumed people would do it for their society anyway, not completely fuck over people and let them die of some curable/treatable shit. Shouldn't have to make a rule about every little thing to prevent people from being assholes, unfortunately the reality is we probably should.
Not going to make any progress as a country if everyone is sick and dumb. Health care and education for all.
@Dionysus187 Really? Walk into an emergency room in an american hospital with no insurance and a serious health problem. By law, they can't turn you away without treating you. Want free healthcare? Go on fucking welfare and enjoy it along with all the other shit that the rest of us have to pay for.
you really think that is quality health care going into a ER? Most of the time they give you a quick fix for w/e symptoms and shove you out the door. Act as if two people had cancer, one with insurance other without, if the guy without just went to the ER he would get the same treatment. Nope. No way in hell. ER treatment isn't as good as having insurance. If you think otherwise why don't you try it next time and not provide insurance information. Unless your a hypocrite.
@Dionysus187 The simple solution is get a decent job. Little tidbit of info for you: Medical insurance as an employer-provided benefit started during WWII because of the wage controls passed by the Roosevelt administration. They couldn't offer people more money, so they offered perks like medical insurance. It's an optional benefit, not an entitlement. Go to the free clinic or save up. Sorry, can't really help you past that. Nothing I can say is going to penetrate an entitlement mentality.
I have a job and insurance. I want other people to have health insurance out of self interest. Weather you know it or not you need other people functioning properly to get shit done. And people being healthy is a stepping stone to 'get the ball rolling' as it were, to get a job and contribute. Also not all insurance is equal, another problem more people having complete coverage would solve. Kind of fucked up to use fear of illness or death to get people 'motivated'
Its part of the social contract that everyone be entitled to health care. Ant is under the delusion that he made his money completely without the help of this country. The roads he drives on, the fact that his kids don't constantly have diarrhea( thanks to the FDA), Free speech, the police, fire dept, all these things are possible because sensible people got together and said "we have a right to these things. Why should health care not be included?
A General Welfare clause is a section that appears in many constitutions, and in some cases in charters and statutes, which provides that the governing body empowered by the document may enact laws as it sees fit to promote the well-being of the people governed thereunder.
so it merely states that the government may write laws that protect people from harm. like no yelling fire in a building, when there is none.
PS I'm for universal healthcare. but there's no need to lie.
Oh Wikipedia, that fine legal document. Madison federalist 41 explains exactly what Madison meant when he wrote the General Welfare clause, that it pertained directly to the powers specific to the congress
It is sad that people don't think through their beliefs before having them. They just parrot what a prominent individual may have said - over and over!
When you vote every 4 years, what are you voting for? You are voting for a 'representative'. By the way, there's one representative for 750,000 of us on average. And that representative is supposed to represent ALL our beliefs, wants, desires with every single bill he introduces, votes for or votes against!
If youre entitled to free health care, where does it end?
Isnt food, shelter and clothing as or more important than health care? Why should I have to pay for food or shelter? This should be a right because we all need it to live right? Free education too!
it's not free. It's subsidized by tax dollars. Just look around the world to see where it ends. In Canada, you still have to pay full price for prescriptions, dental, optical, chiropractic, and for medical devices like insoles. In the UK, you just pay a flat fee for every prescription.
Food and shelter have different levels of cost. I can't go get my appendix removed by a cheaper doctor for 1/10,000th the cost, but I can get a cheap apartment instead of living in a mansion.
if private insurance is so great y do senior citizens pratically break their hips rushing to sign up for Medicare the 2nd they turn 62?? KEEP YOUR GOVT. HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE they scream where were these "town hall teabag assholes" when Bush added prescription drugs to Medicare? ILL TELL YA WHERE AT THE SOCIAL SECURITY ADMIN.

moysey613 - Nobody cares. If you don't like the show, just turn it off and go away. Nobody will notice that you're gone, and you won't be missed. Trust me when I say that.
Look Op I didnt mean any disrespect. normally Im as political as you are that is one thing I typically enjoy about the show its MINIMAL poltico crapola but this issue directly affects my life holmes if you read the rest of my comments u'd see that...I know I know "I dont care! Beat it stupid"....fuggin assholes :)
When I started listening to the show, it seemed more apolitical. Most of the politics discussion was for making fun of stupid candidates (Paul R. Nelson, that stuff was hilarious) and that seemed to change before the election last year.
I know you guys hate the 'YOU USED TO BE BETTER' stuff, and, I don't know, the rest of the show may still be good, but hearing some guy yell about paying taxes and in the next breath talk about all the shit he's bought for his mansion got old pretty fast.
hey dude, I got into a similar dicusion over another clip of ant bitching about taxes and such with the asshole that poste it (backbenher666). anthony used to be a blue collar guy and now he has turned into this nuvo rich right wing prick. the show was better when they where just 2 working guys having a good time.dont bother going back and forth explaining yourself to a ball licker like Kuechel its like talking to a can of spam.ant dosent give 2 shits about him so i dont get why all the loyalty
I can't even say that it used to be better back then.
I only started listening in mid-06, or so, so they were already rich guys. Pissed-off rich guy Anthony really only started to show up before the election and I hoped that it would go away after, but it didn't.
It's not a huge deal, they can talk about what they want to talk about and I can find something else to listen to, it's just too bad (for me, at least) that a lot of it is something I don't want to hear.
well I was a listener from back when they 1st came to ny. and Ihave seen a big change mostly in ant. I love the show and I will always support it but In general I just hate to hear rich guys bitch over what amounts to chump change to them when there are people who are hand to mouthing it day to day. they are by far the best thing in radio since stern, but enough whining . if you love america? then pay up and shut up, I do! and enough kissing up to ppl who dont care about U.
Agree or disagree with Ant, he is passionate about what he believes in. If we had more people who were willing to stand up and voice their views and be willing to fight for them instead of being just another wishy washy citizen, this country would have the opportunity to be even greater than it is.
The health of the population might not be a guaranteed right from the constitution, but you will ultimately benefit and profit from the population being healthier. I'm the most libertarian anarchist cunt there is, but even I recognize the need for affordable healthcare that wont drop you for pre existing conditions for every person in the country. A healthy society is a society you can be safer in and do better business in.
i couldn't disagree more with anthony on this issue. i still love the show and think Ant is funny, but when it comes to social and political aspects I side more with Jimmy.
The "General Welfare Clause" doesn't mean you get handouts from the Government, it means that the US citizens are protected and that Congress can help in time of disaster, either natural or man made. Nowhere in the Bill of Rights do you have a Right to Health Care, Social Security, Food Stamps or any other gimmie program....
fuck all you scared liberal white cocksuckers, the asshole you voted in is taking this country down the tubes. hes been in for a while now and has done nothing but want to raise taxes, fuck up health care and take a fucking vactions. anthony is right, white people need to wake the fuck up.
Yep .. Obama taking that four weeks off to cut brush at his fake ranch and pretend to be a cowboy in texas .. uh .. oh wait, that was president 'no time to read CIA briefing on al qaeda' Bush; Obama is the president that took off one week in August and worked a number of days dealing with the economic fallout from 20 of 28 past years with republican president and years of republicans controlling congress.
Anthony make an occasional rational point regarding politics, but vast amount is BS.
first you forget that he has greatly increased relations with almost every country, and "fuck up heatlh care" whats left to fuck up, and he is putting us in the right direction, if anything he is not doing enough, o and your racist tone gives your post a ton of credibility
Well one thing about it is no one is going to like 100% of anything short of maybe fucking. Ant and I disagree on probably 60% of everything political, but at least he's more entertaining than Hannity or Rush. Not ever going to throw away a whole show for one little aspect of it that may not be my thing. That's really all that matters. If you use this as a reason to throw away the entire show then none of it is for you. Find something else.
Ugh... The politics are really getting old. I will watch fox news if I want to hear their talking points, I don't need to hear them from ant too. Accusing bobo of being a liar for an hour straight is better radio than this nonsense.
also Ant used to make a lot of sense now he just comes off as a selfish prick, america has 45 million without healthcare, thats more than most countries entire population
who cares about other countries, surely not me...fuck em. just like i dont care about people without insurance, not my problem, and it shouldn't be made to be my problem. get off your ass and get a job. thats what i did.
everyone other country in the civilized world has health care as a right, your country is supposed to protect you, not just from guys with guns and bombs but from all that is in their power, why should america who claims we are #1 accept to be 37th in the world in healthcare
Anthony hates the middle class and the sick. He just wants more sick people so when the time comes, there will be more zombies for him to shoot. See how selfish the wealthy are? Its all about zombie greed. I want zombies too. I'm sad
My only point is if you don't like Democrats (which there are great reasons to) Republicans aren't your saviors. No group has overgrown government in this nation's history as much as the GOP of the last ten years. No one.Now being a hypocrit is anyone's right. Have fun with it. Me, I'm an anarcho-capitalist. I believe the only thing we need government for is to keep me from killing somebody. That's it.
Ant is right, the caller made his point for him. The caller stated that gov. programs put into place years ago such as social security have been fiscally viable. Socail security is a disaster, it cant pay for itself. inherently government fucks shit up. why should government run healthcare be any different. Nothing is free. the top 50 percent of wage earners pay 97% of the income tax burden. If everyone should have the same healthcare, everyone should pay the same percent tax.
The equation is very simple. Do you think its moral for me to rob someone on the street by gun point and then use the money for my friend's healthcare. If yes then your morality is theft. If no, do you think the action is okay if done by the group rather than by individual? If yes to that question than you are saying what is immoral to the individual is not to the group....so therefore your morality is simply based on numbers and nothing else...leaving as no morality at all
Sure... if paying taxes was the same as being robbed. Unfortunately, you're forgetting that YOU get something from this in return. Taxes are the cost of living in a civilized society. If you don't want to pay any taxes, go live in the jungle. When you get sick and are dying from some disease, have fun finding a way to treat yourself.
Paying taxes on what others take is robbery....no it is the price of protection and property rights, the only true reason for government....which is an exchange of values -- not an act of theft.....but when you force my private insurer to colapse and put me in government run shit hospitals with shit care and make me work for the sake of others...that is robbery...and even worse slavery...all from you who claim to be selfless
Do police depts. force private security firms to collapse?? Do public schools eliminate the existence of private education?? What the post office did they quash the market for Fed Ex or UPS gawdamn Oreillinite brainwashed numbskulls aaaaaaaah
right on, you tell it like it is. some retard was trying to tell me that the public sector is nothing but one failure after another, i had to remind him about how certain auto companies and banks had to go begging to uncle same for money cause they couldn't run their shit properly.
next time someone tells you the public sector is always a failure ask them what they think of the US military our Fire Depts,Police Depts,Coast Guard etc etc...watch the look of utter confusion on their face! These assholes dont THINK they REPEAT!
yeah doesn't it make you sick how O&A and even Jimmy fawn over Hannity and suck his dick when he calls in and makes lame jokes? i thought he would be on their shitlist since he called for Letterman to get fired...
oh yeah I called in once to express my dislike of Geraldo they couldnt get me off the phone fast enough...I love the show but this issue gets me riled I make about $3000/mo $750 to health insurance b/c Im self emlpoyed and somebody pleez tell me whats the diff. between a "govt death panel" and an insurance claims adjuster? "Im sorry kidney dialysis is considered experimental its clearly outlined on pg 478 of your policy CLAIM DENIED!" AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
I'm sure that caller never read The Federalist Papers inwhich the founders clearly spelled out the meaning of the general welfare clause (hint it didn't mean taking from one group and giving to another).
I can stand conservative view points, I just find YELLING REALLY LOUD AT WHO YOU DISAGREE WITH really annoying, especially when you're already coming in louder and clearer than some guy on his cell phone.
I also disliked all the Hannity ball-licking that went on on the show.
Hannity is the biggest phony ALIVE! He hates govt. bailouts huh?! Well guess what his main sponsor GM ONLY EXIST B/C OF GOVT BAILOUTS AND PART OF THE REASON THEY WENT BANKRUPT.....HEALTHCARE oh and BTW Hannity neglects to tell you during his anti union rants HES A MEMBER OF A GAWDAMN UNION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ant looks pretty calm there. Kinda makes the haters look bad when they say he's out of control. Good for Ant. I hope he does this every single day just to piss the butthurt faggots off.
But what the public option is like just another medical plan. Only difference is that It's not a corporate slime-ball behind it, it's the government.
What it's supposed to do (ideally) is keep a low premium so that the corporate medical insurance companies are (more or less) forced to lower their premium costs and then they will compete to the lowest bidder instead of the highest like they are now.
Even if you did legislate lower costs, that just means there will be higher demand, and a lowering in amount supplied; therefore extreme shortage of needed good....look up and econ 101 senerio of price ceilings on rent control....it leads to severe housing shortages everytime its tried
So if the prices are too low there won't be enough money saved from premiums to cover everyone is what your saying?
I see your point. I really don't have an argument against it. If premiums can't be higher than ... or lower then ... and would flux every 5 years to accommodate for the economy of the time period. So it keeps it just high enough so they can have money on reserve when needed and low enough so even the lower-middle class can afford it.
you fuckin ignorant retard lower premiums=more people insured=larger market=larger incentive to study medicine=more available physicians...GAWDAMN do you hear yourself.."the less people can afford to pay physicans the more we'll have..hey asshole humans are going to require the same amount of healthcare wether they're covered or not wouldnt you rather doctors get paid for the services they render...hahh gawdman glenn beckian palin head dunder skulls!
That was good shit today; funny as hell and relevant, people who cant listen to political talk on the show and find humor within the context are fuckin retarded and those who cant stand ants conservative views are super left wing idealist assholes. Its all great radio.
It's not that I can't stand Ant's politics. It's the fact that when you go all in with any side in politics you tend to ignore what your side does. Yeah Democrats tax and spend. Republicans borrow and spend. Both bad. Especially when borrowing devalues your currency, makes the dollar worth nothing and adds to inflation. Do you really want to run the numbers? If I cut the worth of your money in your pocket in half, guess what, that's in effect a 50% tax.
But come on Op. The political stuff can be good, but when it's more predictable it's not as enjoyable. If Ant wants to debate, have a debate. Yelling louder than someone doesn't make you automatically right.
Not to be one of those guys, but I had to stop listening to the show when too much of it became Anthony whining about paying taxes and spouting Fox News talking points.
I don't know if it's still the case (this clip leads me to believe that it is), but my XM subscription ran out, anyway, and without O&A to listen to, there wasn't any need to renew.
cranky conservative crater face... i wonder if he would be such a raving lunatic if he was still doing duct work. if it werent for opie and the comedians i wouldnt listen to the crazy right-wing maniac show
yeah he made a lot of points they couldn't refute, like how O&A still suck Hannity's dick [even though he was all about Letterman getting fired for saying something offensive]
Hannity is the biggest phony on Earth....he rails against govt. bailouts then 10 secs later does a live read for GM...oh what he neglects to tell you when he rants about unions is that HES A MEMBER OF ONE!! THE SCREEN ACTORS GUILD HES A GAWDAMN ACTOR HES WORKIN YOU RUBES!
Ant is a voice of reason?! Scary thought. Like Regular Joe might say, just goes to show ya how far down the tubes the country's gone. And- oh, yeah...
I know, i love the show. It's just when Anthony gets all riled up and ranting, it's like when Daddy hits Mommy at the dinner table. Even if she did deserve the slap, it makes whole whole mean a little uncomfy. =)
When Anthony doesn't have facial hair, he looks especially creepy.

If you can't have a conversation on the negatives of the show, then maybe you should leave.

Oh, I know. I hated the 'you just lost yourself a listener, man' guys who called in.
I was just pointing out that it's unfortunate that a show I enjoyed listening to has declined in my eyes.
I'm not even saying the rest of the show is bad. I assume the guys are still as funny as they used to be.

When I started listening to the show, it seemed more apolitical. Most of the politics discussion was for making fun of stupid candidates (Paul R. Nelson, that stuff was hilarious) and that seemed to change before the election last year.
I know you guys hate the 'YOU USED TO BE BETTER' stuff, and, I don't know, the rest of the show may still be good, but hearing some guy yell about paying taxes and in the next breath talk about all the shit he's bought for his mansion got old pretty fast.

hey dude, I got into a similar dicusion over another clip of ant bitching about taxes and such with the asshole that poste it (backbenher666). anthony used to be a blue collar guy and now he has turned into this nuvo rich right wing prick. the show was better when they where just 2 working guys having a good time.dont bother going back and forth explaining yourself to a ball licker like Kuechel its like talking to a can of spam.ant dosent give 2 shits about him so i dont get why all the loyalty
hrms73 2 years ago
I can't even say that it used to be better back then.
I only started listening in mid-06, or so, so they were already rich guys. Pissed-off rich guy Anthony really only started to show up before the election and I hoped that it would go away after, but it didn't.
It's not a huge deal, they can talk about what they want to talk about and I can find something else to listen to, it's just too bad (for me, at least) that a lot of it is something I don't want to hear.
moysey613 2 years ago
well I was a listener from back when they 1st came to ny. and Ihave seen a big change mostly in ant. I love the show and I will always support it but In general I just hate to hear rich guys bitch over what amounts to chump change to them when there are people who are hand to mouthing it day to day. they are by far the best thing in radio since stern, but enough whining . if you love america? then pay up and shut up, I do! and enough kissing up to ppl who dont care about U.

Agree or disagree with Ant, he is passionate about what he believes in. If we had more people who were willing to stand up and voice their views and be willing to fight for them instead of being just another wishy washy citizen, this country would have the opportunity to be even greater than it is.

The health of the population might not be a guaranteed right from the constitution, but you will ultimately benefit and profit from the population being healthier. I'm the most libertarian anarchist cunt there is, but even I recognize the need for affordable healthcare that wont drop you for pre existing conditions for every person in the country. A healthy society is a society you can be safer in and do better business in.

The "General Welfare Clause" doesn't mean you get handouts from the Government, it means that the US citizens are protected and that Congress can help in time of disaster, either natural or man made. Nowhere in the Bill of Rights do you have a Right to Health Care, Social Security, Food Stamps or any other gimmie program....

Yep .. Obama taking that four weeks off to cut brush at his fake ranch and pretend to be a cowboy in texas .. uh .. oh wait, that was president 'no time to read CIA briefing on al qaeda' Bush; Obama is the president that took off one week in August and worked a number of days dealing with the economic fallout from 20 of 28 past years with republican president and years of republicans controlling congress.

Well one thing about it is no one is going to like 100% of anything short of maybe fucking. Ant and I disagree on probably 60% of everything political, but at least he's more entertaining than Hannity or Rush. Not ever going to throw away a whole show for one little aspect of it that may not be my thing. That's really all that matters. If you use this as a reason to throw away the entire show then none of it is for you. Find something else.

My only point is if you don't like Democrats (which there are great reasons to) Republicans aren't your saviors. No group has overgrown government in this nation's history as much as the GOP of the last ten years. No one.Now being a hypocrit is anyone's right. Have fun with it. Me, I'm an anarcho-capitalist. I believe the only thing we need government for is to keep me from killing somebody. That's it.
mrjaded1 2 years ago
Ant is right, the caller made his point for him. The caller stated that gov. programs put into place years ago such as social security have been fiscally viable. Socail security is a disaster, it cant pay for itself. inherently government fucks shit up. why should government run healthcare be any different. Nothing is free. the top 50 percent of wage earners pay 97% of the income tax burden. If everyone should have the same healthcare, everyone should pay the same percent tax.

The equation is very simple. Do you think its moral for me to rob someone on the street by gun point and then use the money for my friend's healthcare. If yes then your morality is theft. If no, do you think the action is okay if done by the group rather than by individual? If yes to that question than you are saying what is immoral to the individual is not to the group....so therefore your morality is simply based on numbers and nothing else...leaving as no morality at all
goldgoblin 2 years ago
Sure... if paying taxes was the same as being robbed. Unfortunately, you're forgetting that YOU get something from this in return. Taxes are the cost of living in a civilized society. If you don't want to pay any taxes, go live in the jungle. When you get sick and are dying from some disease, have fun finding a way to treat yourself.
csimpkins 2 years ago
Paying taxes on what others take is robbery....no it is the price of protection and property rights, the only true reason for government....which is an exchange of values -- not an act of theft.....but when you force my private insurer to colapse and put me in government run shit hospitals with shit care and make me work for the sake of others...that is robbery...and even worse slavery...all from you who claim to be selfless

I AGREE. FREE MEDICAL CARE I'M 100% AGAINST.
But what the public option is like just another medical plan. Only difference is that It's not a corporate slime-ball behind it, it's the government.
What it's supposed to do (ideally) is keep a low premium so that the corporate medical insurance companies are (more or less) forced to lower their premium costs and then they will compete to the lowest bidder instead of the highest like they are now.
DoriegaIzShowtime 2 years ago
Even if you did legislate lower costs, that just means there will be higher demand, and a lowering in amount supplied; therefore extreme shortage of needed good....look up and econ 101 senerio of price ceilings on rent control....it leads to severe housing shortages everytime its tried
goldgoblin 2 years ago
So if the prices are too low there won't be enough money saved from premiums to cover everyone is what your saying?
I see your point. I really don't have an argument against it. If premiums can't be higher than ... or lower then ... and would flux every 5 years to accommodate for the economy of the time period. So it keeps it just high enough so they can have money on reserve when needed and low enough so even the lower-middle class can afford it.
But of course, that's being too idealistic.

It's not that I can't stand Ant's politics. It's the fact that when you go all in with any side in politics you tend to ignore what your side does. Yeah Democrats tax and spend. Republicans borrow and spend. Both bad. Especially when borrowing devalues your currency, makes the dollar worth nothing and adds to inflation. Do you really want to run the numbers? If I cut the worth of your money in your pocket in half, guess what, that's in effect a 50% tax.

Not to be one of those guys, but I had to stop listening to the show when too much of it became Anthony whining about paying taxes and spouting Fox News talking points.
I don't know if it's still the case (this clip leads me to believe that it is), but my XM subscription ran out, anyway, and without O&A to listen to, there wasn't any need to renew.
