I say NO leave Beck on! It's always fun to watch the clinically insane right wingers lose it all on TV!

When we do the math, (44+53=97)<(1/2(305)=157.5).

Was it your aim to confirm the above posters assertion that the majority are not covered by Medicare or Medicaid? Well done.

What do you expect? These folks are among the ignorant backwood yokel majority in this country who make up the Fox news viewer base and eat up every word boo-hoo beck spews from his lying propagandist pie hole.

And after all, The Constitution was put together by "elitist" educated liberals so naturally it takes a liberal mind to understand it fully.

How about getting that freaking idiot Obama off of the air. He's on more
TV shows then Paris Hilton. At least she has something intelligent to say.

You know, Ben Franklin was walking down the street after they signed the Constitution and a woman came up to him and said, so what have you given us, Mr. Franklin? And he said, "A republic, if you can keep it." That implies that there's responsibility on our shoulders. If you want a republic, if you want freedom, you must be responsible. Respect it. Understand what it is. Understand that it requires work and vigilance from all of us. And I've got to tell you something. Ben Franklin, the guy who went around to all of his rich, all of his rich profit‑minded people and said, "Hey, give some money to charity. Let's build a hospital." I think he would say to the guy who wrote the president and said, "And then I wake up in the hospital after they perform emergency situation, they saved my life, but I had to pay $10,000," I think Ben Franklin would say, "Here's a man who doesn't respect what he has; and B, doesn't have enough responsibility, personal responsibility to save the republic."

I think... Ben would be pissed you keep using his name to make your
argument - "Nut Case"
Explain why Franklin would be pissed. Maybe I'm not getting your point. (Still early in the morning).

Why do you keep repeating this when time and again you've been asked by other posters to provide proof, but cannot? You use the excuse that, well..."I didn't accuse" anyone of this, just said, "If..." But you keep repeating it over and over. That amounts to slander in my view. You've been asked to provide proof but you ignore that. Still, you keep at it. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt: Since you presumably don't know whether it's true, please find out before you repeat it again. Either put up or shut up.
