Glenn Beck: "Nobody died because they didn't have health care. Nobody."

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

Where are our priorities? How can the president sit around and twiddle his intellectual thumbs while he plays professor and takes a semester to make a decision on our troops in the field?

Oh Glenn, he can't rush this decision!

Really? I don't accept that excuse.

Not from the guy who rushed through the stimulus because of an imminent financial crisis. Not from the guy who tried to jam cap-and-trade down our throats because global warming is coming. Not from the guy who is ramming health care through, because there is a crisis of coverage.

Well, guess what: I don't see Americans dying in the streets as they are waiting in line at our hospitals. But do you know where I do see them dying? In Afghanistan.

I saw the four American soldiers who died in a bombing in Kabul this week. I saw the 59 soldiers who died last month — the deadliest month for U.S. troops in the entire eight-year war. I saw the 51 who died in August and 45 this past July.

But what I don't see are the media flashing the pictures of our fallen heroes every day. Why not? Where is the outrage? Four Americans died in Kabul this week. It's Tuesday. Nobody died because they didn't have health care. Nobody.

Glenn must have missed this somehow. Study links 45,000 U.S. deaths to lack of insurance. And this: Uninsured ER patients twice as likely to die.

Nah, he's just being his ignorant self.

Great point, Mr. Beck. Too bad it's going to fall on deaf ears.

I want to know why they're going to require everyone to buy health insurance but yet they're not requiring everyone to buy a rifle. That's a Right too, isn't it?

The big one, and this hasn't even come out yet (probably gonna take someone like Beck to ask it) is what if the govt. tries to penalize people $8,000/year for not going to a state-authorized house of worship? After all, you have a Right to practice religion. If you don't do it, the govt. is going to penalize you for it.

Don't read the state-authorized news paper? That'll be another $8,000/year.

.... and on and on and on.

I want my public option rifle!

Nonsense comparison. If you don't require everyone to carry insurance, then you'll necessarily have people catching a free ride unless you're going to require cash payment at the emergency room. No insurance, no cash? Sorry, bro, can't help ya'.

Freedom of religion, by the way, includes my right not to practice any. And what exactly is the state authorized newspaper?

That's a great idea!

It's almost like you're going to hold people accountable for their own actions and make them be responsible for themselves. What a noble concept!

Lets hope you don't come down with a serious illness. Otherwise maybe the doctors should hold you accountable for this too.

Yet you accuse me of being ignorant.

People frequently need medical care for no fault of their own.

Absolutely. Because if you fail to save up millions of dollars in case you develop cancer through no fault of your own, then you deserve to die. Are you deserving of life yet? Have you earned the right live through serious illness yet? Have you?

I'd take that public option rifle the same way I would take public option insurance.

If I don't need the rifle I won't use it. I won't use health care if I don't need it either.

What a stupid analogy.
