It's our country too. You don't own it so we can't steal it from you.

What a ridiculous concept -- the loony right owns the country...

"Engaged" = watching television.

And, could you define "typical socialist"? Do you mean, a Portuguese person?
Sorry, I meant retributive justice and the other answer would be no. I have my mind on redistribution for some stupid reason today. Not that I have anything to redistribute, But I would like to keep what I have.

The very fact that Glenn Beck has the far left so riled warms my heart to him.

You took my words out of context. When I said "us", I was referring to the majority. I was not speaking of political parties.

You keep ignoring that Beck disturbs everyone but the far right. He bothers conservatives, moderate right wingers, moderates, centrists, the Reagan Republicans, the Reagan Democrats....everyone but the lunatic right fringe.

I did not take your words out of context. I quoted your entire statement, total context.

Do you understand what "out of context" means? Seems not. Perhaps that's why you righties do it so much.

Cheer up, if you expect to make less than $250K/year in 2010 you'll have more to redistribute, and even be retributive with if you like, in 2011. If you run a business you might be aware of the breaks and assistance already available for your company.

If I assume what you say is true, I would have to believe that the hoards of viewers boosting the ratings for Glenn Beck are the lunatic right fringe. Sorry, it doesn't add up.

We're sorry for you all, and dismayed that so many Americans are such suckers, if you call that riled. It's like a black comedy satire -- funny but awful too.
