Some even think it's informing.
Yes, you people say that about Rush Limbaugh too, don't you?

Why do you call them entertainers only? Because you do not like their message? Is this your way of providing solace for yourself so that you can ignore the message?

I think you hear the message very clearly. You do not like what you hear, and it makes you very uncomfortable, therefore you tell yourself, "It's just for entertainment, he doesn't believe this stuff."

This way, it doesn't affect you, and your life.

Unfortunately, your life will, ultimately, be affected by what you choose to ignore.

But, don't bother yourself. Those of us who get the picture will, if possible, save this country and our freedom for you. You need not do a thing.

Question: Do you still live at home? Does mommy and daddy still take care of you?

Yep.

Because they're radio/TV personalities, not politicians.

I'm convinced that fearmongers like Beck and Limnbaugh really do believe their own BS to some extent. But they have to lay it on especially thick to maintain appeal to their audiences.

So, they do scare you with their blabber.

Actually, I have two homes. Neither is in default, either. I'm a lucky guy.

They're very kind to me whenever we get together. Thanks for asking.

[quote=nononsenseguy;12035037]Yes, you people say that about Rush Limbaugh too, don't you?Know why? Because that is what he IS. If he were such a great American and knows all then why does he not run for office, think he can pass the drug test?

Why do you call them entertainers only? Because you do not like their message? Is this your way of providing solace for yourself so that you can ignore the message? They are entertainers because the likes of Beck, Rush, Hannity, Coulter and Palin they will say anything that gets them ratings, which means money. it does not matter to them if they are telling half truths or outright lies. When they are called out on their statements they always fall back on the defence that they are only stating their opinion, which folks is what they are doing, they are not giving you fair or balanced information, and if the listener is even halfway informed they know that.

I think you hear the message very clearly. You do not like what you hear, and it makes you very uncomfortable, therefore you tell yourself, "It's just for entertainment, he doesn't believe this stuff." As I said, their agenda is clear so hence their statements are suspect to begin with, does Beck debate his statements openly?

This way, it doesn't affect you, and your life.Actually you are correct beck and the rest do not have any affect on my lfe, but they must have one on yours.

Unfortunately, your life will, ultimately, be affected by what you choose to ignore. As is yours, since by ingnoring the fact that you believe these entertainers obviously without question it is affecting your thinking, POV and yes life.

But, don't bother yourself. Those of us who get the picture will, if possible, save this country and our freedom for you. You need not do a thing.Really how you planning on saving this country and freedom? since our Freedom is not being threatened by anyone but a handfull of nut jobs that would like to see a civil war I am curious what your plans are, are they secret?

Question: Do you still live at home? Does mommy and daddy still take care of you? My MY and You suggest the other poster is acting childish [/quote]

Yes, they are trained like little rats to follow the leaders, kinda like a cult.

See the liberal ideals are this, you find someone who can speak, line up all the sheep in a crooked line so no one thinks they are behind the other, then control their money, food, housing or whatever you can. Then when the leader speaks, the entire line stands to attention and honors the leaders request.

Even though the leader is a total liar and scam artist, the sheep follow behind the leader sucking their thumbs and waiting for the next toss of food.

It is nuts for someone to believe that Glen Beck is delusional when the two top voices of their party, Al Gore and Baby Bubba Obama are totally insane, proven liars and scam artists yet they follow behind them like little good cult type sheep should.

Beck has been proven correct on many issues, he took down czars for exposing the anti American ways but yet the left wingers see it a different way. They see it as Beck is a problem for Baby Bubba and of course resort to the attacks on him.

If Beck was not correct in pointing out the anti American buddies of Baby Bubba, then I would say he has no value. But he was correct, no questions asked.

The left wingnuts need to keep following Al Gore and Bubba to the promise land. Both of them are lifelong whacks or have been proven to be lairs, scammers and of course totally out of touch with the real Americans.

Continue to follow your leaders liberals, like Gore, Baby Bubba will lead you and the rest of the sheep right off the edge of the cliff soon.

The end of liberalism in America is near. Follow your leaders...please.




Watch out for that big ice berg folks, it coming at your house.
Hurry liberals, run outside and look. Only to see Baby Bubba and Al Gore holding hands around a tree to save it.

Wonder why Beck, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter and others BOTHER THE LEFT WINGNUTS so much?

If they are not bothering you then why all the bother with attacking them?

Seems to me they are all greatly successful people. Seems to me not one single person who plays the left wingnuts role in any similar situation has been successful at all.

Why is there not one single successful left wing comparison to any of the above? You had Air America but it went bankrupt ( of course it was ran by a liberal ), you have Chris Matthews who tinkles down his leg when Baby Bubba speaks. You have the shedog Maddox who loves Bubba so much she wears his logo underwear. Then you have Oberman, probably the most insane of all personalities on TV. And to think none of these have successful shows or books. Wonder why?

I wonder why Al Gore bothers you so much. He must have uncovered some great conspiracy and exposing all of you as frauds and liars right?

Gotta love when the shoe is on the other foot, eh Sunny?

The ironic thing is sunny-daze really believes what he is writing. Beck is not the only completely delusional person around here.

There never was a law that compelled all Americans to participate before they could work in their own country.
Don't believe me - write a polite letter to your congressman, senators, and the administrator in Baltimore, MD.

I have been collecting Social Security checks since 1995 and paid into it as a self-employed payee for about 10 more years. I always thought it was the law and my tax lady seemed to, also.
Isn't it amazing? Over 3 generations and still no one can find the law that imposes involuntary servitude.

I'm not sure what socialism is but I think that SS is only a form of it. It is having to pay income taxes that are then distributed to those who don't pay any of them that I consider socialism.
Socialism = piracy, the piracy of the collective.

If we had taken the hands of Congress out of the SS trust fund in the 1950s when they started dipping from it we would have over $5 trillion in that fund right now and maybe so many wouldn't be so against the system. It is Congress that broke the system.
A. There is no trust fund. Since 1933, Federal Reserve notes have no par value (worthless). A cookie jar filled with worthless IOUs is still worthless.

B. Pursuant to law, a dollar bill is not a dollar.

C. Technically speaking, usury broke Congress. The creditor is owed over 12 trillions (in real money), which amounts to 600 billion ounces of gold, stamped into coin. However, the world wide supply of above ground bullion amounts to 5.5 billion (uh oh). Fort Knox depository only has 147.4 million ounces (d'oh!).

D. Pursuant to the 14th amendment, clause 4, the impossible public debt cannot be questioned... even when it is insane.
