Marine Tears Congress Critter Brian Baird a New One at Town Hall Meeting!

[xerakis]

Baird went down just like healthcare went down...nobama and all his un Amercian socialists are destined for the trashbin!!! LOL Healthcare ruled un Constitutional !!! Take that all you lousy stinking libs...try to make me pay for your abortions and drug rehab...I dare you!!!

[volfan1nga]

The Feds are trying to kick us while we are down. We are very weak right now and they are pouncing like a tiger. It will not surprise me if they incite riots before the November elections in order to postpone them. They KNOW they are gonna be fired and I think they will stop at nothing to retain the power they have right now.

[DISCOKINGRORY]

Semper FI. I am proud to be a Marine and think the same way!

[TheSagekills]

how miss informed could thats place be...

your world is doomed an full of hate for each other.

[bnfox]

I appreciate the passion and anger towards the government.- and I basically agree with this guy. I'm still really disappointed that there are so many distortions and misinformation out there, though, and that we didn't see enough of this kind of thing when Bush was pulling all his crap. And I'm really tired of hearing Fox News/limbaugh soundbites coming out of so many otherwise good people. Would anybody be making this Nazi/Hitler remarks about Obama if they hadn't heard it from jerks like Beck?

[califslayer]

The solution is simple - this out of control radical government needs to create jobs and as far as the ones that don't have health insurance, give em a job and let them take care of their own insurance like everyone else. Why should I have to pay for those lazy pie holes to sit on their arse all day and wine about what they don't have? The government needs to stay out of the private sector. They just need to fix the health care they have now. Come down hard on all insurance fraud also.

[AwakenAmerica]

2 A substantial portion of H.R. 3200, the House health care bill, is devoted to amending the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 in order to give the IRS the authority to perform these new duties.

Under the various proposals now on the table, the IRS would become the main agency for determining who has an "acceptable" health insurance plan; for finding and punishing those who don't have such a plan; for subsidizing individual health insurance costs through the issuance of a tax credits; and for enforcing the rules on those who attempt to opt out, abuse, or game the system.

[promiseIsaih60]

I think the big fear that I can see here,people are afraid of big goverment takeovers. What most people don't understand is, the goverment runs public schools, they already run Medicaid/Medicare [which I a told is a very good system] & the country is not socialized. If someone has good health insurance, then that's great, then it should be left alone. The problem is there are so many out there that have nothing & can't make it. There has to be a much better solution/system than what we have now

[AwakenAmerica]

We're broke.

[gonzo361]

1st let not try to spin on words healthcare is a necessity no in here is arguing that. what im saying is when you talk about talking more responsibilty then demand that others provide where is the responsibility? when you do not work for it then why should you have it you say you cant afford it yet what makes you think a counrty that on a boarderline depression can afford 2 trillion and growing

[promiseIsaih60]

That's just the problem. There many, many people who work hard for living, 2 & 3 jobs jus to get by. Why should the working poor have to suffer when clearly they are working. You are a very young man. The US didn't always have a system like this, not untill the Nixon years Prior to that, the US was not bankrupt. . Yes, the whole system needs to be reformed, no question on that. We have to start somewhere & the time is now.

[gonzo361]

i hear what your saying promise and i myself am in that boat working two jobs to make it thru this tough economy but with that said this current admin isnt trying to fix it with bills like cap and trade the universal health care are more taxes on homeowners and small busniess owners if we want to fix this economy we need to lower taxes and create incentives for people to want to start opening there busniess

[1princescup]

I agree & think that definetely needs to change. It's the working people that have had their pockets gouged for so many years while the wealthy were given huge tax breaks & write offs [loopholes]. I think what's very important is for the American public to not feel so helpless & that WE really DO hold the power & we CAN change things. It won't happen overnight but it's good to be active in taking the power back. Good comment, btw~ :)

[promiseIsaih60]

oh, 1princescup is me, btw because I signed into my friend's computer but she forgot to sign out. =)

[promiseIsaih60]

Just did :)

[promiseIsaih60]

Good healthcare for ALL citizens should be Everyone's resposibility & not reserved for just a privileged few. Your opinion that I want free stuff is just that. YOUR OPINION & Nothing else. I also earn my paycheck & I don't know of anyone who has 'jumped the fence' & doesn't 'feel like working' so your argument therefore is foolish & makes no sense.

[gonzo361]

Good healthcare for ALL citizens should be Everyone's resposibility (end quote) i agree that more american citizens need to take the initiative to go out and buy there health care and take more responsibilty to do so rather then expect the fed to give them handouts and its not reserved for the privileged i dont know where you getting that info if you get a job working in a hospital it one easy way getting healthcare even if it means being a janitor

[AwakenAmerica]

v=rJ8SkS0kOe8&feature=channel_­page

[promiseIsaih60]

Who said being a janitor for a hospital would give you good health care? Many of the compnies & large coorperations make it a point to only offer health care to full time employess [at least in their brochures] then proceed to only hire part time help. Also, IF healthcare WAS affordable, do you think we would be in the mess we are in now? Health care is not nor should EVER be considered a 'handout' but a bare necessity for all people as it is in ALL industrilized countries EXCEPT the The US.

[promiseIsaih60]

I'm fully aware of the country this is, Which is why we must all strive to make it a better place & catch up with the rest of the world, rather than lag behind.

[promiseIsaih60]

As a matter of fact, if I was on welfare, I COULD get insurance Much more easily` It's the working poor in this country that are descriminated the most~

[AwakenAmerica]

Interesting piece on what happens to healthcare costs when insurance middlemen are removed:

watch?v=rJ8SkS0kOe8&feature=ch­annel_page

[promiseIsaih60]

I DO Have a job Genius! Not all jobs offer insurance but wouldn't it be wonderful if they did which is why I repeat I hope & pray Obama's Healthcare passes so we can AT least catch up with Europe.

[promiseIsaih60]

I hope & pray Obama's health care passes. As an underinsured American who hs gone without heath care for most of my adult life....it would be a relief & hopefully we can catch up to Europe & the rest of the world rather than be on a 3rd world nation status.

Question for the liberals, Why is it when ever someone dosn't agree with you there are three lines you always use? Does that mean you can not think for yourself? The three things you always reply with are 1. name calling. 2 vulgarity, 3 and most is racist.

[mrbiggleswurth69]

What ever happened to the conservative mantra "Support your President during a time of war"? I guess it doesn't apply when your President is Black

[AwakenAmerica]

I was wondering what ever happened to all the people who were against the war when Bush was prez. Looks like they believed in Obama enough to elect him and give him time to keep his promises, but he's escalated war.

[hipstermi]

@mrbiggleswurth69

No, it doesn't apply when the President is a "liberal" and there are screaming self righteous conservatives.

Sean Hannity said t"support President during a military action" about Bush...yet he and Fox criticized Clinton 3 times as much during Kosovo.

[RogueSwordThesco]

RAAAAAAH!

[rmacevoy]

As a 31 year vet I say Brian Baird is a COWARD and an IDIOT. Hitler cut a deal with the industrialist, they loved him. He placed all the Socialist in Camps. Baird and I have exceptional VA care that is if he is as disabled as me. My retirement care is excellent and both are "Socialist" as is his Marine medical care that he wants the congressman to keep his hands off. Or were you just reading that off your talking point Brian? Besides its the insurance company that desides now dummy.

[superhyperding]

Your all idiots, you really think Obama in a nazi? Glen Beck called Obama a rasist and now all his advertisers are pulling out of his show! Complain all you want you have 3.5 more years to go! Loosers

[RogueSwordThesco]

His advertisers are pulling out because they are being paid to do so.

It's Just Business.

[Norlalb]

So... does anyone know where this disabled veteran is getting his healthcare? I'd bet dollars to

donuts that he's getting it from the GOVERNMENT that he likes to rail against. Every developed country on earth guarantees healthcare for all it's citizens, at a cheaper cost per person, and with higher life expectancies. These are facts, people. Do some research. Educate yourself. Don't just rely on what Rush Limbaugh and Glen Beck tell you.

[GODLOVESUSSOMUCH]

I can understand every word you said & i agree...yet my friend, what needs to be added at the end is two things. The time to provide a system like the one the government wants, is not when the the unemployment rate isn't so low & when millions are barely able to provide for themselves & their family, none of the less, pay more taxes. Secondly, the elitists who control the British Crown founded the US, & their occult/corrupt agenda has remained & does not include a system for the peoples benefit!

[Chance99able]

The small print taketh away what the big print giveth.

[Micheleeroo]

Completely and totally awesome!!!!

[steeliejim1]

I live in Baird's district. I don't know if I am the first, but lets not let me be the last to say that I will spend my money and time to have this man elected to Baird's seat in Congress. Everything currently wrong with this country lies at the feet of the 535 Americans in Congress who run this country.

[DDunker51]

You KNOW the Nazi Democrats are losing their game when all they can come up with is insults against this American Marine. No rebuttal, no intelligent response, just insults. You lose, libs. Go away now.

[wileycoyotengineer]

You called them Nazi Democrats. I called them Nazicrats. I also call the neocomms. That is short for Neocommunist.

Two more terms I like are Obamanism and Obamanist.

[mrbiggleswurth69]

Marines are taking anyone these days, as evidenced by this douchebag.

[omegagame1]

For you to make a mockery of someone who served this country that you so happily live your life out in. Then call him a douche bag based on absolutley nothing other then pure ignorance is the height of stupidity.

It's people like you that have allowed this once great nation to be brought down economically, spiritually and in the eyes of the world, when the real lieing manipulative crooks are being lobbied by corporate interest in washington.

[blueorangelettuce]

unimpressive performance caused by a lack of education on the matter

[hunteramargin]

OOOH RAA

[GrombleOU]

ahahaha is this guy serious? He clearly has no idea what socialism is or how it applies to healthcare, and probably shouldn't be speaking about things that are clearly way above his head.

Being in the Marines doesn't grant you the right to be an ignorant fool.

[wileycoyoteengineer]

This man not only fought for the right to speak his mind. He also fought for your right to be an ignorant fool. FOOL!

[GrombleOU]

This is the dumbest argument. I don't give a shit what he "fought" for, that doesn't mean that he's right about anything and it SURE doesn't mean that anybody should take his opinion seriously (which it looks like a lot of people here are doing).

Nobody's arguing that he can't speak his mind, but he shouldn't be throwing around words like "socialism" when he clearly has no idea what it means.

Oh by the way my dad was in the Marines and he's the smartest guy I know, so I'm not prejudiced.

[wileycoyoteengineer]

Socialism

1 : any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods

The government will control the health care in this country. You will not have any other alternative. Government control!

What part of that do you not understand?

The government has no right to tell me what I can or can not have. Those bastards work for me.

[GrombleOU]

So the fact that the US is the only industrialized nation in the WORLD without a UHC system must be because all those OTHER countries (dozens of them!) are socialist hellholes w/ evil governments?

Because in reality, the gov't wouldn't "control" healthcare. They'd pay all the hospitals/doctor offices/etc out of one fund just like they do fire departments or libraries. Do you consider those services a socialist nightmare?

Most of those countries still have the alternative of private care, btw.

[AwakenAmerica]

Those socialized health systems can start off looking good, but eventually rationing is needed to control costs, and we're already broke.

[GrombleOU]

I've heard this rationing argument a lot, but I've never seen it backed up with any proof. Are you referring to wait times or do you think that there wouldn't be enough doctors to go around? People argue that the wait times in other countries are horrendous, but I've seen plenty of studies that show the US having the longest wait times, and insurance co's are already rationing care by denying it to thousands of people who need it most. Besides, we already pay more for our system than any w/ UHC.

[AwakenAmerica]

I've heard straight from a Canadian besides reports. But I'm not saying our system is great, but it was better before govt got involved, and will all get worse with more govt control. Here's a link to someone who remembers what it was like before govt got involved.

ronpaul . com/2009-06-15/ron-paul-obamas­-healthcare-plan-will-make-thi­ngs-much-worse/

[AwakenAmerica]

A big danger is we could end up w/ a system like John Edward's plan for health care: If you can't afford your mortgage if you buy health insurance, then you lose your house so you can pay the insurance premium, or they force you to take their "free" health care but only if you submit to whatever exam or medical procedure they require - including radiographic exams - or else lose your house.

foxnews . com/story/0,2933,295555,00.htm­l

Remember how disasterous Mitt Romney's plan was.

[GrombleOU]

Haha well yeah, Mitt Romney is an enormous idiot, I'm not surprised he came up with a terrible plan.

But this big danger you're speaking of is exactly why it's so important for people to get educated and then do something about it, not just complain that it's going to be a government takeover and we're all "doomed" to socialism, when they could be contacting their representatives to let them know we're not going to accept a crappy plan. John Edwards is also far from being the only voice on this

[soley111]

hi wileycoyotengineer, indeed, all the societies are based on "communism" and "socialism", by their definition: (Communi-ty=communism,

soci-ety=socialism). Others like, fascism, natizm, francoism, are just aberrations, the humbug is making a good life for himself, his family and his friends. I conclude that: all countries are: communist countries. Without any exception. Is an alternative possible? Yes, by means of "better management" of ourselves and the economy.

[wileycoyotengineer]

When I say socialism or communism that means the government owns the companies and the banks.

They control every thing. They provide the work, they provide the housing, and they provide health care.

The government will be like the master on a plantation. You will live and work on the plantation. You will have no choice

[soley111]

hi wileycoy.....,

You are, indeed, making the hidden definition of "communism" "socialism".All countries are based on these two ideas.

USA is the biggest communist country in the world. All countries are based on that.

"Indivudualism" based on "education" is the real alternative. It is my estimation that it will take us at least 1000 years to be "Individualists".

[Alaskan20]

Wait a minute. "I didn't say that.....I've apologized for it." He turned 360 degrees in one sentence. Typical liar caught in the act.

[one1armedscissor]

national SOCIALISM! Those fucking leftists!

[ThoroughlyConqueredW]

A fantastic example of why we need to defund the military and rid of Don't ask, don't tell. Gays and lesbians in, white supremacists and militia movement kooks out.

[curiouscat24]

What has this marine and funding the military have to do with him expressing his first amendment right?

Oh wait, maybe it's because of morons like you that have no f'n idea of what the hell the US Constitution even says.

[seanbone]

Now there's a great Marine! I love it!!!!!

[Grimson84]

How is that VA care working out for you, mr. marine? Is it nice having the government pay for your health care?

[smackdaddy13]

Epic Success. Good Job.

[MrLastat]

Grats to this dude on standing up about this.

[brovo262]

hell yea

[curiouscat24]

Dead on regarding the brown shirts and the swastika comment. I could not have said it any better then this guy.

[swampfaye]

I give the congressman credit - at least he wasn't talking on the phone. He paid attention the entire time. (Unlike Sheila Jackson Lee)

Outstanding!
