    A friend of mine said she’d like to “junk punch” Glenn Beck. Gotta love that.

    let’s take bits out of context and make it say whatever we want. let’s not let the truth get in the way of our cause. Let’s look at who is putting together the Health Care & Cap & Trade Bill. Van Jones Green Jobs Czar a convicted felon and confirmed Communist and Black Nationalist. Cass Sunstein, Regulatory Czar, who consults with very good friend Peter Singer who said in July 09 NY Times article “Why we must start health care rationing now”. John Holdren, Science Czar, wrote a book where he suggested putting sterilization in the drinking water to control the population. And lets not forget about Ezekiel Mannuel, health care advisor to Obama who wrote a paper on “The Complete Lives System. whereas after age 45 you get a diminishing return therefore the recipients should receive adjusted health care. He further describes in detail with a yield curve chart showing how as you age your health care availability should also. Ah don’t worry I don’t think any of them ment it. Lets try it on you first. Before you respond to this take a few moments and investigate. You will find every word true and verifiable. If you still feel the same way then all I can say is I pray that God have mercy on you.

    Holdren did not suggest ‘putting sterilization in the drinking water to control the population.’

    You packed more lies in a 100-150 words than I’ve seen in a long time.

    There’s nothing wrong with Glenn Beck thinking that Obama’s decisions are motivated by a secret hatred of more than half the country (many of his fans no doubt agree with him). There’s nothing wrong with him saying it in his own forum it on his own time as long as it doesn’t embarrass his employer (freedom of speech). But there is everything wrong with his being paid millions of dollars a year to say it by a company whose customers and viewers include a broad majority of the country’s population.

    What about playing the gullible CNN “news” base for talking how terrible the care is here?

    Would be the same if first Beck praised the industry on Faux before moving to CNN to condemn it. Yes he is an opportunist, but no more so than the networks cater to the markets. Meanwhile the country continues to be split 50/50.

    Oh wait they are beginning to see Obamacare is a joke and a nightmare. Let’s end all regulation ever, instead of adding more. Long live the constitution, and Glenn Beck if he points it out even though he’s an opportunistic asshole!
