I think it's hilarious how when Glenn Beck is right about Obama, instead of addressing the argument--some people just attack Bush as if Glenn was his biggest fan or something. You aren't addressing the subject. Changing the subject is not the way to win an election--let alone an election.
Yeah, to Glenn Beck, Bush was a fascist, right? He was a "progressive", so why does he complain that he was called that, right? "Bush was a fascist idiot", he'd never say that. He still defends his policies, and I bet he likes Karl Rove, because they're both effeminate closet cases.
Hahaha. I'm laughing at the fact that the dims *have* a rapid response account on youtube. Seriously, you sad demented hacks, Obama has only been in office for 10 months, wait until he has spent an entire term in office before beating the long-dead horse of "compare it to Bush and pretend like that's a valid response" again.
What's amazing is the fact that the DNC actually put out a funny, slightly edgy, video. Please, please, please make this mean the Dems will actually get some balls.
If you like Glen Beck; then you have automatically disqualified yourself from rational informed discussion. LOL
Stay with your boy and follow him into hell if you wish, ultimately we will all be Judged by the Creator...and I'm 100% confident in saying that beck is a tool for evil in this world. The man feeds off of and creates fear.
He may have some cash in his pocket....but at what cost to his soul?
Everyone insults Beck as a person, but no one ever can deny the facts he brings up. I'm an avid Back fan, and some of the things he says scares me, but the things hes done also gives me hope. He is revealing the lies and corruption of the government, and the fact that so many support him gives me hope. the 912 project and the tea parties give me hope. This nation already scared the crap out of me before I ever heard of him, hes helping us fix it. He gives me more hope than he does give me fear.
The first time I heard of Beck was when he created that "expose" of the hospital that wouldn't give him special preferential treatment when he came to the ER looking for heavy pain killers. As a nurse, I spotted about 50 blatant lies and misconceptions in his drug-addled tirade. And he doesn't seem to be any more concerned with fact, in his endless anti-Obama rants. If you trust him as a political analyst, then you're just gullible, period.
Once again I ask for anyone to point out his lies. Tell me where he is wrong. You cant. Obamas czars ARE socialists, all but maybe 1 or 2. Obama is crashing the dollar. And his hope is false. Hear about that line where people waited for hours for money from Obama? They never got it. Everyone seems to think theyre entitled to things they didnt earn just because they exist. This line of thinking is destroying us and leading us towards outright socialism. A glorious revolution of marxism led by him
BlackSand, you've just proved that you have no real idea of what socialism and marxism are. Confess it-----you're just parroting scary sounding right wing buzzwords.
In fact, it's the far right who are looking for a free ride-----pretending that there's something new and radical about the concept of taking responsibility for the society we live in. Nonsense. If you want to live in this great country, you need to do your part to KEEP it great. Period.
Socialism-Centrally planned economy where the government controls the allocation (distribution) of resources and capitol (wealth). Its the stage in between capitalism and communism, and as Marx taught, through violent revolution. Although modern Marxist take a peaceful approach. And what the hell are you talking about? The far right are the only ones willing to endure the consequences of their actions. Were the ones whove told everyone stop borrowing from China and spending all the damn money.
Not true. There is an element of socialism (gasp!) in ALL industrialized economies today. And let's get real: the far right were the ones who cheered Bush on as he squandered the surplus Clinton left, and plunged us heavily into debt. It became fashionable among neocons to grumble about spending ONLY after the recession hit, at which time the started scrambling around looking for ways to blame it on Obama.
Yes there is. And I despise socialism. The system is one of the most corrupt of any. And one of the most inefficient. Austrian School is the way to go. And i NEVER cheered bush or his policies. Read 2gigabit's comment at the top of the comments. Im libertarian, and both Bush and especially Obama are authoritarian as far as im concerned.
There is no specific "system" of socialism. Socialism is merely an economic model, which is present to one extent or another in EVERY society.
If you "despise" socialism, then you're against social security, Medicare, the FDA, the FBI, FEMA, VA hospitals, police & fire protection, public schools (& universities), the postal service (which no doubt you hate, but I'll bet you still accept mail it delivers to you), U.S. embassies & a national military.
Against social security, prefer Galvston model, medicare and medicaid are the two most inefficient and overprices pieces of crap in the US today, and all the other stuff isnt socialism. Bureaucracy =/=socialism despite what you may think.
So, what do you propose be done with those who truly can't afford health care? Shall we let them die in the streets, as they used to do in India? Sell their body parts to pay overdue bills? And what about the lack of productivity, from a society that allows its members to live with untreated medical problems? Have you thought about any of this, or are you just parroting that "we don't want no stinkin' socialism" line that the right wing pundits teach you?
I dont see lots of people dying on the streets in the US, I dunno about you. How about this. Doctors devote one day a week for voluntary care in trade for tax relief.
Of course you don't see lots of people dying on the streets. You just assume that if they're still standing, they're healthy. But untreated medical problems---> poor health----> lack of productivity. (And you assumed it was just laziness, right?)
And, by the way, you've got no business expecting doctors to donate their time, if you're too stingy to support health care for all in this great country. Hypocrisy, anyone??
You assume all these things about me as if you know me and how I view the world.
And my idea would be a completely voluntary thing for the doctors. They dont have to do it. However, if they do, they get tax relief. When youre taxed 30% of everything you make, having some relief is sometimes better than a paycheck.
BlackSand, you'd be screaming bloody murder if all the doctors were too busy doing charity care to take care of YOU. And it isn't your business to decide what kind of "tax relief" is best for doctors, or how (or whether) they should provide charity care. It's rather obvious that you're only trying to spare yourself inconvenience and expense. I have no use for hypocrites who brag about being patriots....but then refuse to lift a finger to keep this great nation (and its people) great.
Obama is not "crashing the dollar." Actually, the dollar is worth more against the euro now than it was a year ago when Bush was still embarrassing us as our president. The euro was worth $1.66 then; it's now worth $1.44. Before Bush was installed in 2001, it was worth 91 cents.
Nah, you're not a Bush apologist, are you? It's so unfashionable these days to admit to having supported him for 8 years. These days, anyone who's anybody is claiming to be an independent or a libertarian. Right?
So youre going to fall back on claims you cant prove? Trying to discredit me for something you cant even begin to try and prove? And the inflation rate since Obama has become president is 120%. In the 70's it was raised by 12% and the interest rates had do be increased to 30% to compensate. This recession was predicted by the Austrian School. SO some research, we cannot keep printing money like this. And theyre proposing another stimulus! Welcome banana republic.
It WOULD end up a banana republic, if you ultra right wing dreamers had your 'druthers. You've got no solutions, just endless b*tching against any organized government----even when that government is protecting YOU.
Defend and protect Bush all you please (don't give me that bull about not trusting him---you're too defensive on his behalf to make that plausible)----his extravagance got us into this mess. And it's going to take more than 10 months for Obama to undo 8 years of damage.
Tell me the problem, and I can tell you 95% of the time the way to fix the problem is 'take government out.' And dont give me that crap about the government protecting you. The government is more corrupt than any single business or corporation. And Im not defending Bush. Where are you getting this? And if Bush's extravagance cause this mess, then Obamas extravagance is going to kill us.
Right,BlackSand-----like I can trust YOU to be an expert on fixing governmental problems. Anyone with half an eye can see that your position is all about YOU and YOUR comfort level. Selfishness has become the new right wing "family value." And the gullible are flocking forward to embrace it----and to Hades with the rest of the nation.
I thought that was the liberal value system. "Here I am! Take care of me! You owe me money because I exist!" And frankly, i think an uneducated farmer could do a better job than 99% of politicians. Its not selfish to want the government out of your life. Its selfish to force people who dont want to, to pay for other peoples problems. If you want to eat 6 big macs a day, go ahead, but i'm not paying for your heart surgery.
BlackSand, if you think that's "the liberal value system," then you're not very knowledgeable, and obviously very gullible. You're also not very realistic, if you think that denying a hefty portion of Americans access to affordable health care is going to enhance our nation's productivity.
Classic neocon bigotry: assume the worst about people who need help, so you can then excuse your own selfishness and shortsightedness. Doesn't sound as if you value this nation very highly.
And if you think thats thats the conservative value system, then youre not very knowledgeable either and obviously very gullible. Also not very realistic. If you think letting government into your life is going to give everyone what they want and desire, then move to Venezuela or Cuba. I hear theyre doing really well.
Classic Liberal Hypocrisy. Tell others they must not think highly of this nation when theyre the ones who honor Hugo Chaves and are departing from the founding fathers.
When did I ever try to claim that it was the government's responsibility to "give everyone what they want and desire"? I believe in ensuring that all have the tools they need to be productive, and one of those tools is decent physical and mental health.
It's YOU who are opposed to ensuring access to these tools for all, most likely because you're afraid it will result in making it more difficult to for you to get "everything (you) want and desire."
wow i cant belive that people are buying this shit. alll the czars were appointed well into the obama administration and frequently talks about how much they are needed. no wonder the education system is so screwed up thats because you have nut job liberals who dont even have a frontal lobe in charge of everything.
So, Bush is the God of the Democrats? If, in the DNCs eyes, George Bush defines right and wrong, then we muct conclude that they see him as a God....How strange. I'm conservative, and I don't even like Bush.
Is it SO hard to believe that Glenn was simply...wrong? That he didn't know? All of us make mistakes, all of us change our opinions over time. Just because he wasn't crying out about it then doesn't mean that he would have liked it if he knew or that he agrees with it now.
I myself was an avid Bush supporter and Republican partisan for most of Bush's time in office--only near the end did I see what a disastrous job he was doing and abandon my partisanship; I'm a libertarian now.
That's what they all say, Taiyama. Bush's disasters were right there for all to see while he was in office; yet his supporters didn't start claiming to disapprove of him until right wing media deserted his sinking ship. I wish I had a nickel for every former Bush supporter who now claims to be "independent" or "libertarian."
B. What's wrong with Bush having cured someone of their partisanship? It takes a while for you to realize it, trust me. You explain things away, ignore some of the faults until they pile up and you're forced to recognize that you were wrong and this man isn't what you thought he was. That's how it was for me, at least. What's wrong with that? Why does that inherently make me stupid or corrupt? I'm a human, I make mistakes, and so does Glenn Beck.
It doesn't make you stupid or corrupt....but it's become very fashionable, since last year, for right wingers to distance themselves from Bush, all the while embracing Republican ideology to the nth degree. If that doesn't describe you, so much the better.
Define "Republican ideology" because I'm not sure what you mean by it. I'd argue that the party no longer has any ideology other than "stay in power", myself. If they had any ideology at all anymore I doubt we'd be leaving them in droves.
I agree, Taiyama. But by "Republican ideology" I mean those ideals to which Republicans give lip service: war, big business, tax cuts as a panacea for everything, trickle down economics, and contempt for anyone who doesn't conform to the model they've chosen for "American culture."
@snackwars I think the point that is being made here is that "Czars" have been a part of the executive branch's political landscape since the Nixon Administration. However, Republicans and Conservatives would have you believe that Obama actually created this sinister idea and he uses the term "Czar" because he is a closet communist even though the term Czar represents a monarchy which was thrown out by the communists in Russia in 1917. All Presidents except Obama are allowed to have Czars!
@Taiyama2 What were the Czars? obama is a kenyan communist who is doing more to destroy America than Hitler or Stalin or Mao ever did. If you support the dumb-o-crats you support the destruction of freedom it is that simple! Wake up and think for yourself for once in your life.
@DrMinParaguay I agree that the democrats and Obama suck. However, the republicans suck just as much. All forms of statism suck because statism is a solution inherently based on the use of aggressive violence to "solve" social problems (and violence solves nothing).
Kind of funny how you're telling me to "wake up and think for myself for once in my life." It's precisely because I do that that my views have changed drastically since I made that comment. I'm an anarcho-capitalist now.
Wow, just wow. Talk about intellectually dishonest. Many of the Bush mentions are cabinet positions, authorized by the constitution and confirmed by the senate.
Chairman Maobama's czars are not cabinet positions, and not confirmed by the senate.
Nathan666, You're kidding, right? Bush & the Republicans weren't just asleep at the switch on 9-11, they were asleep at the switch after Hurricane Katrina and they were asleep at the switch while their Wall Street cronies raped the banking system,
I certainly understand why you'd like to pretend that the Bush administration is ancient history. Junior and the Bushees are an embarrassment to all of us. But the Boy King and his neocons have only been gone for eight months.
I'm almost certain I'm asking in the wrong place, but does anyone know where I can find a video of Glenn's comeback to this? It was on a few days ago and I missed it...can't find it
i hope they relise that communism was first presented as a way tog et rid of the czars in fact THAT WAS the reason the ussr was made in the first place.
You mean Bush still hasn't let this country get attacked since 9/11/01. Obama hasn't done anything to prevent it, just keeps following the same path Bush started.
Anyone with a brain knows CONGRESS makes the laws and Congress was controlled by the Democrats the last 2 years of Bush's term! Dems ran it into the ground intentionally!
Homes that scumbags couldnt ever afford was the reason for this mess and you all know it!
Who pushed that? DEMOCRATS!
Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and the rest of the Democratic crooks did this to the economy and the proof is out there.
perhaps because he was an admitted communist? hmmm. why is it when something wrong with obama is pointed out, the response is,"but bush did it." yes, i remember hating the things bush did, but i didn't need the reminder, obama is doing them too!
I'll tell you what- when I care enough about paranoid freaks who are afraid of Communists in a country that is dominated by corporations, I'll make a fact based argument.
Until then, you guys are irrelevant, and you wouldn't listen anyway.
I guess. Whatever. For me, when someone is allergic to any kind of reasonable dialogue, then there isn't any reason to discuss anything with that person.
This communist stuff is some of the most hilarious I've ever heard.
We are a corporate dominated society. If anything would describe our situation, it would be corporatist.
The word "Communist" is the dinner bell ringing for idiots.
Allergic to any kind of logic? Tell me one good question your liberal ass-kissing media asked yesterday? They didnt ask one question that no one knew the answer to already because it is now Govt in bed (GE/NBC, Immelt on the Fed board) with the media & they tow the line at every turn. You robots wont have reaonable dialogue because you all sit around & listen to the same points being made by the same old commentators & people who think just like you & if someone disagrees, LIBs call them racist!
I bet you would be OK with your church hiring an Atheist as the pastor? Or what about hiring a child molester to be a gym teacher at your kids elementary? That is the same backwards shit as putting a Communist in a "Green Jobs" advisory position.
Hmmm. if a church chose to hire an atheist, that would be their choice. I wouldn't force them to do anything. If a school hired a child molester, then they would be breaking the law, as would the child molester, assuming he'd served time for his crime.
As to Van Jones, whatever.
If you're afraid of Communists now, you're delusional. I suppose that makes you a Geln Belk fan.
"So Obama ALREADY HAS almost as many Czrars in <1 yr that Bush had in 8yrs"
Czar positions translate over (yes they can close positions, or add new ones; but the 31 Bush had at the end of his presidency were translated into Obama's first 31).
Bush (on day 1) had the same number of Czars that Clinton had at the end of his presidency. Clinton started with the same number as HW Bush. HW Bush started with the same number as Reagan...
Beck...look beck insde ur own UNDIES and find out how tiny is ur DICK and then measure other's dick with ur's. Oh by the way...display of ur EYES looks like a cold KILLER who'll suck anything to get some sweetner....!! Nothing wrong to be arogant or oppose s/one but dont loose ur SOUL. S/times look urself in the mirror...! U'll get fame but wont go anywhere provides ethecial or moral satisfaction. U'll always feel guilty inside despite showing HOTSHOT outside. Good luck BACK.
So Obama ALREADY HAS almost as many Czrars in <1 yr that Bush had in 8yrs. The count is number of PEOPLE, not POSITIONS. We already need to get ready to add one more to Obama's, cause he is gonna replace Van Jones with someone. I bet Obama destroys the number Bush had in just half the time. Yes, that is stating he won't get re-elected.
ROFL! You mean when you lose most of them? Obviously you don't watch unbiased bews, just the ones that can't understand what the Tea Parties are REALLY about.
Besides the fact that he's wrong about the number of czars and when they originated in U.S. administrations,he's historically ignorant.Who killed off the last of the czars?The communist,so Beck should love the commies.lol
That's the funny part. Most of Beck's audience think Czar = Communist. Really, it's sad that anyone is so ignorant. To those of you on the Right, I suggest you do a quick review of early 20th century Russian history.
Are you really that dumb? Beck said that some of his czars ARE COMMUNISTS and RADICALS. There are some professors who are communists, so I guess that means "Professors are a Communist idea"? Now THAT is the FUNNY PART!
Sure, Fox lies. They forced Van Jones, J. Wright and every other Left Wing radical to hang out with Obama, spew communism and racism ala Van Jones and they must have forced Obama to hire all these commies!
This is no different from Russian propaganda.If there's a bigger moron than Glenn Beck(the former Harold Hill)in the Universe,It deserves an award.Enough of WWJD as far as the Democratic policies go.I prefer WWTD(what would Truman do).I also think MSNBC made a big mistake by not showing the black man's head.Since when is it new that there are Black extremist,and Black biasing towards other Blacks?
It's sad, Fox News and it's reporters (cough, cough) and it's pundits lie outright and their audience eats it up, no questions asked. Fox's lies are easily pr oven, but the uneducated Fox viewers simply deny the truth. It is mind boggling that any thinking person could ever believe anything seen on Fox News.
Santoz22 msnbc lies more. claiming that guys were carrying guns and protesting obama are racist while cropping out the man's head............... btw the person was black. that's right, a black man with a gun protesting obama and msnbc cropped out his head and used him to make a generalization on racism in america. sad
I don't watch MSNBC. I would be interested in seeing the clip with the man's head cropped out. though. I would be grateful if you want to provide a link. Thanks.
OK, gatsu I saw the clip. Your description is not quite accurate. You should watch the clip again, and when watching it, keep in mind that the majority of the gun carrying protesters at these Town Halls were white. Is racism part of their motivation? I don't know for sure, but I do suspect that a few of these gun carrying protesters are bigots.
there were many other protests where whites showed up with guns.
And second of all, the black guy you see in Arizona with a semi-automatic was "asked" to show up by his friend - the guy who interviewed him. So essentially, it wasn't an organic, spontaneous thing...it was staged.
These people really do broadcast to idiots. The not so well informed bunch. I mean, how can you do all of this and not expect an intelligent person not to find out?
Glenn "Blockhead" Beck's paranoia is at it again! Did he know that Karl Rove was one of those media nicknamed "Czars?" Yet, he brings him on his show to talk about how these "Czars" are unconstitutional. Blockhead is nothing more than a double talking wingnut. But, of course, the misinformed trolls that Blockhead has by the balls think he is a god. But keep at it, Blockhead is doing a great job in exposing who Obamas opposition is, nothing but paranoid bigots who have no clue.
to all those who hate government. don't collect social security don't use medicare, don't use unemployment, don't call the police, don't take your kids to public schools don't use the roads, don't use public transportation!!!! and don't praise the military becouse they are government run you blankity blank blank Idiots!!
You forgot -- don't use the fire department if your house is burning down. Call competing private fire departments to bid on the project while your stuff is incinerated.
That's what The Queen of the Goofballs Ayn Rand would do!
ha ha ha... good point. the democratic party is in trouble when most peple get their news on fox. It's amazing to see how they mobilize paople to protest against their best intrest. Ayn Rand would have her own show on fox... right after Beck.
It's possible to do both. Theopolitical, i think you are reading my comment out of context. I think the comment you read was a response to another posting. Yes I am a progressive.
Actually most people do not get their news from FNC, FNC has the most viewers of the cable news outlets but on a good night their top show gets about 3 million viewers, 6 million if you count the multiple showings, that leave ~250+ million americans who did not get it from FNC. Broadcast news still has more viewers. You clearly do not understand objectivism or Ayn Rand if you think she would take a show on FNC.
everyone is anti-government... until they their help. don't have a problem if you don't like any government. I do have a problem with those who eventually use it when they need it when they hate it so much.
Everyone uses the government. All these idiots would use national health care if it got pushed through, too. It benefits everyone, except corrupt insurance companies who love the status quo.
The Glenn Beck/conservative scheme is to convince regular people to vote against things that help them by creating diversions. For some dumb idiots, it works.
right on! check out my comments on this page... i noticed i misspelled some words oops. environterrorist is actually a smart person who is anti-government check it out.
Do you think if the police and military were not there that big companies would let you do anything (burn down their buildings, kill their CEOs)? No. They would enforce their own rules/laws (they would create their own government).
Even in families there is a "government" (sometimes a dictatorship where the parents have the only say in what their children do, sometimes a democracy where the majority chooses).
Are you saying you want to steal and kill? military police firefighter all government run!! are they not being payed by redistributed income?? if the government didn't step in we would have Chaos! not all elected officials are good but we can vote them out if they aren't! and how is providing health care taking away freedom???
I wonder if those protesters had a child that got sick and needed an expensive procedure, would pay for it them selves? Or, would they use a government health care plan that would pay for it all...hhhhmmmmm just wondering what they would choooose... hmmm... just wondering.
I don't want the government to contol everything. I do want government to do what ever they can to bring down the cost of health insurance. We can hold our government accountable. Expand medicare to all. Medicare works fine. My grandparents have it and would not give it up for anything. If the protester's real concern is gov power why arn't they protesting the Irak war? That is a blatant example of government power and imperialism... the ultimate example of gov power.
Don't forget the BiCzar. She's the czar that monitors the bizzare - birthers, deathers, teabaggers, teabagathon, right wing talking heads, and right wing buffoons. Twenty-four hour a day 7 days a week job and only gets paid in acorns.
Hope you know I was being sarcastic when I said not drivin by profit. Of course the health insurance industry is rigged just like the stock market is for the small investor. My disappointment is with the people who are out there protesting against their own best intrest. People apposed to "single payer", or "public option", would benifit from them. Unfortunately, they have been misled by right-wing media. My opinions are based on conclusions formed by my research, not by propagandist.
Poor little Glenn Beck. No one believes his bogus claims about the crowd size at his Teabagger rallies.
Now Beck wants to pretend that he's not a Republican. He hopes people forget that he was a big cheerleader for Bush's idiotic war in Iraq and the Republican tax cuts for trust fund babies. And that last year Beck was still crowing about the "Bush Boom" as the economy collapsed.
You completly missed the point. the real name for czars is director... you know like director of the CIA or director of public transportation, just a few esamples here. the point of that clip is like "Who cares", about czars. You shoud cange your name of informed is back to way over my head.
You act like big businesses just enjoy pumping millions of dollars out of their pockets to lobby and fight regulation from capitol hill. I'm sure JP Morgan got an erection when Teddy Roosevelt took him to the Supreme Court and defeated him for control of the railway system.
Big businesses thrived during the industrial revolution (during a time when there was next to no regulation on what they could or couldn't do regarding workers rights, environmental laws, etc.).
Glenn Beck you're a traitor to the republic and there are still some people who know it! You're betraying the people - you're betraying yourself, in the very end.
Wrong, wrong, wrong. Tories who supported the monarchy as the legitimate government supported the king in the AWI. Most of your other categories create Libs and Conservs where those divisions aren't historically accurate. Can't be justified, except in your own mind.
"Czar" is only a pet name for the people who hold these offices. There aren't any actual czars in the White House. Whoever made up that rumor is a nutcase.
Silly back and forth bullshit. Republicrats...all of em....No difference....MONEY, LOBBYS, and POWER...Americans are smarter now. Hopefully the ignorant basement dweller that attacks this comment takes the liberty to think for himself. Keyword= Liberty. Dont be fucking stupid. You / WE are on the bottom rung of society and knowledge by design.
The POINT of this: Obama is NOT communist for appointing czars. If the administrations(Regan, Bush) before him did it, then what is the problem? Hmmmm... sounds like a WEAK argument. Aren't there more important issues to discuss?
I think it has to do with the background of his czars, some are admitted communists, one who supported eugenics, tax cheats etc. The problem is the a presients czars are under the control of the president and not our representatives in congress. They have ALOT of power. I mean for Gods sake...one is a huge PETA advocate who actually believes that animals have the right to legal representation and he wishes toi end meat consumption. Sound like America to you? Not for most of us.
Well,...how about their job...to set the agenda for the policy. You are just being a jerk now...don't ask questions that you already know the answer to. Trying to say that a Czardoesn't have a great deal of power and influence is just silly. I don't like the idea of Czars at all. Bush's big government agenda was full of them and we saw what the lack of accountability did there. I don't want anymore of this big government bs, whther it is from the Left or the right...it's an abomination.
Cass Sunstein might be a little weird with his animal stuff, but he understands how to make paperwork easier to do and understand. How he wants to apply his political philosophy of libertarian paternalism is one I think all Americans can get behind.
Maybe Tlwalrus,however you will have to pardon my skepticism because his views on animals are more than a little "weird" to most Americans. If he is capable of THAT kind of nutty thought...I don't think he should be there.
Because we need to be militarily prepared. We need to have the best, and be prepared for anything that might happen. I'm sorry, but there are only two things the federal government should be dealing in....protecting out nation, and international relations. The rest is for the state to handle.
The Clinton Recession? Are you kidding? Yer boy Junior Bush and you GOPers were asleep at the switch with your pants down on 9-11 and you were asleep at the witch with your pants down while your Wall Street bankster cronies raped the banking system.
Sorry if we were a tad bit distracted by needing to squash a terrorist organization. Have you not seen the investigations they did on Freddie/Fannie during that time period, and, Barney Frank said, "There are no problems with Fannie, or Freddie." You can't fix something when the corrupt people doing the investigation say there is nothing wrong. Too bad the people in charge were mostly Dems, coincidence?
Squash a terrorist organization, nate? Nah. You Republicans were asleep at the switch with your pants down on 9-11 despite all the warnings. You were distracted because you were obsessed with invading Iraq and attacking medical marijuana.
Democrats like Barney Frank had no authority to regulate or investigate anything between 2001 and 2007 when this economic mess was made. The entire government was controlled by you Republicans. You were asleep at the switch on the economy, too.
Clinton did NOTHING when America was attacked by Terrorism! NOTHING! the 1st WTC bombing? It was under Clinton, He didnt do a THING! 2 embassy bombings in Clintons last term, NOTHIN DONE by BILLY! WHY? Coward much? How about the USS COLE? AGAIN, Bill did NOTHING! Anyone with minimal intelligence KNOWS Clinton's Foreign Policy or better yet, LACK OF, set the U.S. up for these attacks as Bin Ladens terrorist orgs became more and more brazen under Clintons watch. That is FACT so get it right.
Actually - the guys who perpetrated the first WTC attack are rotting in prison. They also prosecuted and sentenced six Al Qaida members responsible for the USS Cole bombing. So my question to you: Is your head just permanently up your ass?
Wait a minute. Bush was President for under eight months when 9-11 happened. So it's his fault. But the economy still isn't any better, so wouldn't that make it now Obama's fault?
And the Republicans tried to regulate the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac nonsense, and were shot down by your poster boy Barney Frank, along with Christopher Dodd and Maxine Waters. You can look that up.
Illegitimate? Did you miss the second election? You know, the BLOW OUT by GWB. We are now in the midst of President Socialist Asshole, but he won't get a 2d term. How are his polls doing? Badly huh? Worse than Bush's? Reality is finally setting in for Obama, and it's not looking good for him.
"as for Obummer keeping the country safer than Bush did,well thats just silly"
Bush was elected on January 20th, 2001. By September 11th, 2001; nearly 3,000 Americans had died in a terrorist attack (on US soil, from foreign attackers).
Obama was elected on January 20th, 2009. It is September 18th, 2009 and no Americans have died from terrorist attacks (on US soil, from foreign attackers).
You can call it coincidence if you like; but this country has been safer (for longer) under Obama.
It is likely we haven't been attacked since Obama took office because they're too busy ducking for cover from Predator drones.
Bush, on the other hand, inherited Clinton's legacy of doing nothing about terrorist attacks. Bush was by no means perfect; but Obama is by no means competent.
You should be able to figure that out without having it laidout for you like this. Lib-tard.
"Obama has little to do with insuring the safety of this country"
Are you this pre programed? He is the Comander and Chief of the armed forces, yes all of them? WTF are you out of your mind?.?
Aren't you the same bunch of people that blamed Bush after 9/11? Come on there is more 9/11 conspirators then there are birthers, but which one gets more media attention? The media knows that they are both idiots, yet it focuses on the small faction of birthers.Can you spell biased?
The whole second part of your reply didn't make sense.
As for the first part,you are not following the dialogue.
Your just jumping the gun like a cocksucker.
A terrorist attack can happen on anybody's watch,and the fact that one hasn't happened for Obama doesn't mean he is any better at defending the country,simply that one hasn't happened.
Tell me how Obama has defended the kingdom any differently to any other president?
Hmm? thats a tough one. Lets see, now our only real ally in the me doesnt like us, Israel. Now he want to chop the missle defense system, so the whole of free Europe doesnt like him either. Is any of this sinking in??? or am I just talking to another idiot waiting for a free lunch?
Maybe Im talking to an idiot whos on a free lunch?.? Yep thats called fed employment for those of you morons who don;t know the diff:)
Oh, ok, so you finally realised that the commont reffered to the etimolgy of your name. After I spelled it out to you. Yep, your way too stupid for the private sector, I appreaciate you animating my point:)
Yes there is such a this as chance, and there is also such a this as increasing the "chance"
This is also referred to as cutting down on defense, wait didnt Clinton do that? And then we were attacked early on in the Bush presidency. CAN YOU NOT DRAW A CONNECTION YET????
You also clearly don't understand many of the peculiar terms you litter about in an attempt to sound clever: "pre programed',"911 conspiritors" and "biased".
Tell me,what is a "911 conspiritor"?
What is a "pre programed" person?
How is this programming done,by whom,and what makes it "pre" programming?
Isn't your name enough to suggest "pre programming" the whole tron thing, are not robots, or so you say obamatrons pre programmed? What are you? Like a catagoric 3rd class, imbacile robot?
Do you seriously not know about the libtards, eg, yourself who say that 9/11 was an inside job? Ya right, your a moron gov goon!

Everyone insults Beck as a person, but no one ever can deny the facts he brings up. I'm an avid Back fan, and some of the things he says scares me, but the things hes done also gives me hope. He is revealing the lies and corruption of the government, and the fact that so many support him gives me hope. the 912 project and the tea parties give me hope. This nation already scared the crap out of me before I ever heard of him, hes helping us fix it. He gives me more hope than he does give me fear.
BlackSand219 2 years ago
The first time I heard of Beck was when he created that "expose" of the hospital that wouldn't give him special preferential treatment when he came to the ER looking for heavy pain killers. As a nurse, I spotted about 50 blatant lies and misconceptions in his drug-addled tirade. And he doesn't seem to be any more concerned with fact, in his endless anti-Obama rants. If you trust him as a political analyst, then you're just gullible, period.
toilettduckk 2 years ago
Once again I ask for anyone to point out his lies. Tell me where he is wrong. You cant. Obamas czars ARE socialists, all but maybe 1 or 2. Obama is crashing the dollar. And his hope is false. Hear about that line where people waited for hours for money from Obama? They never got it. Everyone seems to think theyre entitled to things they didnt earn just because they exist. This line of thinking is destroying us and leading us towards outright socialism. A glorious revolution of marxism led by him
BlackSand219 2 years ago
BlackSand, you've just proved that you have no real idea of what socialism and marxism are. Confess it-----you're just parroting scary sounding right wing buzzwords.
In fact, it's the far right who are looking for a free ride-----pretending that there's something new and radical about the concept of taking responsibility for the society we live in. Nonsense. If you want to live in this great country, you need to do your part to KEEP it great. Period.
toilettduckk 2 years ago
Socialism-Centrally planned economy where the government controls the allocation (distribution) of resources and capitol (wealth). Its the stage in between capitalism and communism, and as Marx taught, through violent revolution. Although modern Marxist take a peaceful approach. And what the hell are you talking about? The far right are the only ones willing to endure the consequences of their actions. Were the ones whove told everyone stop borrowing from China and spending all the damn money.
BlackSand219 2 years ago
Not true. There is an element of socialism (gasp!) in ALL industrialized economies today. And let's get real: the far right were the ones who cheered Bush on as he squandered the surplus Clinton left, and plunged us heavily into debt. It became fashionable among neocons to grumble about spending ONLY after the recession hit, at which time the started scrambling around looking for ways to blame it on Obama.
toilettduckk 2 years ago
Yes there is. And I despise socialism. The system is one of the most corrupt of any. And one of the most inefficient. Austrian School is the way to go. And i NEVER cheered bush or his policies. Read 2gigabit's comment at the top of the comments. Im libertarian, and both Bush and especially Obama are authoritarian as far as im concerned.
BlackSand219 2 years ago
There is no specific "system" of socialism. Socialism is merely an economic model, which is present to one extent or another in EVERY society.
If you "despise" socialism, then you're against social security, Medicare, the FDA, the FBI, FEMA, VA hospitals, police & fire protection, public schools (& universities), the postal service (which no doubt you hate, but I'll bet you still accept mail it delivers to you), U.S. embassies & a national military.

Against social security, prefer Galvston model, medicare and medicaid are the two most inefficient and overprices pieces of crap in the US today, and all the other stuff isnt socialism. Bureaucracy =/=socialism despite what you may think.
BlackSand219 2 years ago
So, what do you propose be done with those who truly can't afford health care? Shall we let them die in the streets, as they used to do in India? Sell their body parts to pay overdue bills? And what about the lack of productivity, from a society that allows its members to live with untreated medical problems? Have you thought about any of this, or are you just parroting that "we don't want no stinkin' socialism" line that the right wing pundits teach you?
toilettduckk 2 years ago
I dont see lots of people dying on the streets in the US, I dunno about you. How about this. Doctors devote one day a week for voluntary care in trade for tax relief.
BlackSand219 2 years ago
Of course you don't see lots of people dying on the streets. You just assume that if they're still standing, they're healthy. But untreated medical problems---> poor health----> lack of productivity. (And you assumed it was just laziness, right?)
And, by the way, you've got no business expecting doctors to donate their time, if you're too stingy to support health care for all in this great country. Hypocrisy, anyone??
toilettduckk 2 years ago
You assume all these things about me as if you know me and how I view the world.
And my idea would be a completely voluntary thing for the doctors. They dont have to do it. However, if they do, they get tax relief. When youre taxed 30% of everything you make, having some relief is sometimes better than a paycheck.
BlackSand219 2 years ago
BlackSand, you'd be screaming bloody murder if all the doctors were too busy doing charity care to take care of YOU. And it isn't your business to decide what kind of "tax relief" is best for doctors, or how (or whether) they should provide charity care. It's rather obvious that you're only trying to spare yourself inconvenience and expense. I have no use for hypocrites who brag about being patriots....but then refuse to lift a finger to keep this great nation (and its people) great.

Obama is not "crashing the dollar." Actually, the dollar is worth more against the euro now than it was a year ago when Bush was still embarrassing us as our president. The euro was worth $1.66 then; it's now worth $1.44. Before Bush was installed in 2001, it was worth 91 cents.
Nah, you're not a Bush apologist, are you? It's so unfashionable these days to admit to having supported him for 8 years. These days, anyone who's anybody is claiming to be an independent or a libertarian. Right?
toilettduckk 2 years ago
So youre going to fall back on claims you cant prove? Trying to discredit me for something you cant even begin to try and prove? And the inflation rate since Obama has become president is 120%. In the 70's it was raised by 12% and the interest rates had do be increased to 30% to compensate. This recession was predicted by the Austrian School. SO some research, we cannot keep printing money like this. And theyre proposing another stimulus! Welcome banana republic.
BlackSand219 2 years ago
It WOULD end up a banana republic, if you ultra right wing dreamers had your 'druthers. You've got no solutions, just endless b*tching against any organized government----even when that government is protecting YOU.
Defend and protect Bush all you please (don't give me that bull about not trusting him---you're too defensive on his behalf to make that plausible)----his extravagance got us into this mess. And it's going to take more than 10 months for Obama to undo 8 years of damage.

And if Bush's extravagance cause this mess, then Obamas extravagance is going to kill us.

Right,BlackSand-----like I can trust YOU to be an expert on fixing governmental problems. Anyone with half an eye can see that your position is all about YOU and YOUR comfort level. Selfishness has become the new right wing "family value." And the gullible are flocking forward to embrace it----and to Hades with the rest of the nation.

I thought that was the liberal value system. "Here I am! Take care of me! You owe me money because I exist!" And frankly, i think an uneducated farmer could do a better job than 99% of politicians.

If you want to eat 6 big macs a day, go ahead, but i'm not paying for your heart surgery.
BlackSand219 2 years ago
BlackSand, if you think that's "the liberal value system," then you're not very knowledgeable, and obviously very gullible. You're also not very realistic, if you think that denying a hefty portion of Americans access to affordable health care is going to enhance our nation's productivity.
Classic neocon bigotry: assume the worst about people who need help, so you can then excuse your own selfishness and shortsightedness. Doesn't sound as if you value this nation very highly.
toilettduckk 2 years ago 2
And if you think thats thats the conservative value system, then youre not very knowledgeable either and obviously very gullible. Also not very realistic.

Classic Liberal Hypocrisy. Tell others they must not think highly of this nation when theyre the ones who honor Hugo Chaves and are departing from the founding fathers.

When did I ever try to claim that it was the government's responsibility to "give everyone what they want and desire"? I believe in ensuring that all have the tools they need to be productive, and one of those tools is decent physical and mental health.
It's YOU who are opposed to ensuring access to these tools for all, most likely because you're afraid it will result in making it more difficult to for you to get "everything (you) want and desire."

Santoz22 msnbc lies more. claiming that guys were carrying guns and protesting obama are racist while cropping out the man's head............... btw the person was black. that's right, a black man with a gun protesting obama and msnbc cropped out his head and used him to make a generalization on racism in america. sad

I don't watch MSNBC. I would be interested in seeing the clip with the man's head cropped out. though. I would be grateful if you want to provide a link. Thanks.
Santoz22 2 years ago
OK, gatsu I saw the clip. Your description is not quite accurate. You should watch the clip again, and when watching it, keep in mind that the majority of the gun carrying protesters at these Town Halls were white. Is racism part of their motivation? I don't know for sure, but I do suspect that a few of these gun carrying protesters are bigots.
Santoz22 2 years ago
there were many other protests where whites showed up with guns.
And second of all, the black guy you see in Arizona with a semi-automatic was "asked" to show up by his friend - the guy who interviewed him. So essentially, it wasn't an organic, spontaneous thing...it was staged.

Glenn "Blockhead" Beck's paranoia is at it again! Did he know that Karl Rove was one of those media nicknamed "Czars?" Yet, he brings him on his show to talk about how these "Czars" are unconstitutional. Blockhead is nothing more than a double talking wingnut. But, of course, the misinformed trolls that Blockhead has by the balls think he is a god. But keep at it, Blockhead is doing a great job in exposing who Obamas opposition is, nothing but paranoid bigots who have no clue.

Actually most people do not get their news from FNC, FNC has the most viewers of the cable news outlets but on a good night their top show gets about 3 million viewers, 6 million if you count the multiple showings, that leave ~250+ million americans who did not get it from FNC. Broadcast news still has more viewers. You clearly do not understand objectivism or Ayn Rand if you think she would take a show on FNC.

Everyone uses the government. All these idiots would use national health care if it got pushed through, too. It benefits everyone, except corrupt insurance companies who love the status quo.

"everyone is anti-government"
Some people just prefer their own government.
Do you think if the police and military were not there that big companies would let you do anything (burn down their buildings, kill their CEOs)? No. They would enforce their own rules/laws (they would create their own government).
Even in families there is a "government" (sometimes a dictatorship where the parents have the only say in what their children do, sometimes a democracy where the majority chooses).

I don't want the government to contol everything. I do want government to do what ever they can to bring down the cost of health insurance. We can hold our government accountable. Expand medicare to all. Medicare works fine. My grandparents have it and would not give it up for anything. If the protester's real concern is gov power why arn't they protesting the Irak war? That is a blatant example of government power and imperialism... the ultimate example of gov power.

Hope you know I was being sarcastic when I said not drivin by profit. Of course the health insurance industry is rigged just like the stock market is for the small investor.

Unfortunately, they have been misled by right-wing media. My opinions are based on conclusions formed by my research, not by propagandist.

Poor little Glenn Beck. No one believes his bogus claims about the crowd size at his Teabagger rallies.
Now Beck wants to pretend that he's not a Republican. He hopes people forget that he was a big cheerleader for Bush's idiotic war in Iraq and the Republican tax cuts for trust fund babies. And that last year Beck was still crowing about the "Bush Boom" as the economy collapsed.

Big businesses thrived during the industrial revolution (during a time when there was next to no regulation on what they could or couldn't do regarding workers rights, environmental laws, etc.).

Bush was elected on January 20th, 2001. By September 11th, 2001; nearly 3,000 Americans had died in a terrorist attack (on US soil, from foreign attackers).
Obama was elected on January 20th, 2009. It is September 18th, 2009 and no Americans have died from terrorist attacks (on US soil, from foreign attackers).
You can call it coincidence if you like; but this country has been safer (for longer) under Obama.
Theopolitical 2 years ago
Such a simplistic and child-like attitude.
It is likely we haven't been attacked since Obama took office because they're too busy ducking for cover from Predator drones.
Bush, on the other hand, inherited Clinton's legacy of doing nothing about terrorist attacks. Bush was by no means perfect; but Obama is by no means competent.
