No, yuo used the term impeachment improperly. I guarantee you your boss will never call you into his office and say, sorry, but we’re gonna have to impeach you.
Ok, many, many, many studies have been taken that show that the media votes up to 90% Democrat. They lie and slander every single day as well as destroy our Universities with hate speech, diversity, trannies crap instead of creating educated people. Actually, its not as easy as moving to another country. Try moving to Australia.

Is is not “infinitely” better than the American system”. Look up death rates, life expectancy rates, etc. Standards of living and such. America beats the UK on all fronts, and your still our lap dog. Lower sales tax, homeowner taxations. We dont give women free houses for getting knocked up by some Nigerian. Your system is collapsing and all the white folks are leaving. Why do you think the BNP got started if everyhing was so good.

And even if the NHS was better, then good for you, now fuck off and go make that Paki family with 14 kids finally get a job.
September 27th, 2009 at 7:46 pm
And im failing to see your stats and claims being backed up as well.
September 27th, 2009 at 9:15 pm
I should hope my boss wouldn’t do that – people would look at me funny if I was talking to myself.
Tell me who did these studies and where I can find them.
I don’t want to live in Australia.
“…go make that Paki family with 14 kids finally get a job.”
I’m not sure you can make a large group of people work a single job. They’d be doing about fifteen minutes apiece each month.
Racism = Fail
Hate speech? You seem full of it.
Now fuck off until you have something to bring to the table.

I wonder how many of the millions of people that a Government Controlled Health Care system people would win their sues and lawsuits against? Since the biggest industry is Health Care it’ll be the hardest to perfect… But to have the IRS??? Seriously the IRS will control the HC system’s money input and output. If you want people to rip your money from your fingers THIS IS THE TIME to live! I hope you enjoy hell on earth.

Here we have a radio shock jock and a….magician debating the virtues/deficincies of health care reform. This speaks to the 24 hour dumb show that is right wing cable-tabloid ‘info-tainment’ and the progressive overall debasement of political discourse in this country as celebrity, spectacle, paranoia and grotesque incivility replace reasoned arguement.

That magician is also a fellow at the CATO institute. Penn happens to be a very intelligent and insightful person, and his occupation as magician does not equate to his knowledge on the subject matter.

Yep. You got that right.

Glenn calls himself a Libertarian. I’m throwing the bullshit card. The only Libertarian thing about him is his desire to legalize pot. The rest is PURE NEOCON.
September 30th, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Can obamacare cure liberalism? Nothing so far has.
September 30th, 2009 at 10:57 pm
Well, no one can be right about everything. Not even Penn. We have nothing like a lottery where I live. Everyone’s covered. This is an american gut knee-jerk reaction against anything they percieve as socialist.
October 1st, 2009 at 12:17 am
Everyone’s covered. Where do you live?
Most parts of Canada you can’t find a doctor to be “your” doctor. You need to go to a clinic. The american revulstion to socialism is that socialism removes choice. The american revulsion to Obama is that he pretends the public option will just be an option when in fact it will within a few years be a “single payer” system. My advice to the U. S.; don’t go there. Not at all.

THE problem with Canadian health care is that generations of gov’t-only insurance (called “one payer”) have laid waste so much innovation and upgrade. We can’t GIVE our old equipment away to third world countries.
The worst part is the illegality of any private option. If you want to pay for exams and surgery yourself, you have to go to the U. S. That’s the only reason the Canadian system has survived as long as it has. There are some private clinics but their billing is restricted.
October 1st, 2009 at 3:48 pm
hate to be that guy, but i live in canada, i have a family doctor, have my whole life, our system is amazing, i love our system, and i love watching these videos saying, “if canada’s system is so good why do they come down here.” well to be honest, ive never in my whole life met a single person that would even consider going to the us for treatment, why pay 250,000 for surgery when you can get it done for free here. oh wait, unless you just have 250,000 laying around.

I would love to see an episode of Bullshit! on Canada.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:50 am
yes beck is certainly NOT a libertarian.
October 2nd, 2009 at 3:39 pm
I USED to listen to Blecch on the radio, and I just got sick of him. His line about being a Libertarian is just that.. a LINE. He’s a much a con as Newt or Bible Spice.

I think you’ll find that your statistics about mortality rates and life expectancy are quite wrong there little buddy. The UK actually beat you!
October 2nd, 2009 at 6:35 pm
Then post them little buddy.
October 2nd, 2009 at 8:07 pm
Here are the real statistics
Health spending as a share of GDP.
US 16% UK 8.4%
Life expectancy:
US 78 UK 80
Infant mortality (per 1,000 live births)
US 6.7 UK 4.8
Health spending per head
US $7,290 UK $2,992
Practising physicians (per 1,000 people)
US 2.4 UK 2.5
(Source: WHO/OECD Health Data 2009)
So there you go. Stop spreading lies

Well l ike I said, they quoted the BBC. That is who you should be directing you disdain to. I hear they ask people to pay them in a form of tax. I would challenge that bill thats for sure.
October 3rd, 2009 at 4:12 am

October 3rd, 2009 at 8:42 am
I don’t pay much attention to what Glenn Beck has to say.
October 3rd, 2009 at 10:24 am
“the parasite class”?? what the fuck does that mean?
