What ever happened to Beck’s 100-year plan?

“history may look back on this moment utterly baffled at the fact it caused so much uproar”

But not in the way you expect. After a few years of Trillion dollar deficits, loss of the USA’s triple AAA bond rating, and the decline and eventual overthrow of the dollar as the world’s reserve currency, Americans will look back at this moment and wonder who were the fools who thought nationalizing the best health care system in the world was such a good idea?

That’s when you can raise your hand.

BTW, its already starting. Info on T-bill slippage-

What, Beck is asserting that their are 1960s radicals living in San Francisco? Media Matters needs to issue an immediate press release proving that this is false. Thanks goodness, Mediaite is already on the story.

“I’m guessing Nancy Pelosi.”

Gee, you think?

Azarkhan: well said. When Social Security, Medicare, and Obamacare implode because of our debt burden, I hope everyone remembers where they stood this day.

Hopefully as far away from the ignorant teabaggers as possible. Another ass kicking for the uninformed!

Sounds like Glenn Beck got sand in his pussy. Awwwww, does your pussy still hurt?

Sounds like Jelperman got sand in his asshole. Awwwww, does your asshole still hurt?

Azark and Finch,
That is pretty much what the conservatives were saying in the early sixties leading up to and after medicare came on the scene. And indeed, medicare has been a big burden, though, not the “end of the world as we know it” like they were arguing at the time. Of course now almost no conservatives suggest cutting off medicare (in public).

Valkyrie: “That is pretty much what the conservatives were saying in the early sixties leading up to and after medicare came on the scene”

Youth really is wasted on the young. Yes conservatives did say that about Social Security and Medicare, and yes, they were right. Already in the 1970′s government actuaries knew that those systems would eventually go bankrupt. The question is why?

Glad you asked! It is because the Baby Boom generation, born after WWII and numerically the largest generation in American history, is now reaching retirement age. Combine that with longer life spans, expensive medical procedures, and an eroding revenue producing industrial base (something the actuaries did not predict), and we will have the crisis and economic collapse predicted by those prescient, pesky conservatives so many years ago.

The “end of the world as we know it”? No need to rush things, sweetheart! Give it about 10 more years.

BTW Valkryie, you must be getting your info about the Florida Senate race from the Good Humor man.
Below are some poll results:

Florida Senate – Rubio vs. Meek
Poll Date Sample Rubio (R) Meek (D) Spread
RCP Average 1/20 – 3/17 — 44.4 35.0 Rubio +9.4
Daily Kos/R2000 03/15 – 03/17 600 LV 41 40 Rubio +1
PPP (D) 03/05 – 03/08 859 LV 44 39 Rubio +5
Rasmussen Reports 02/18 – 02/18 1000 LV 51 31 Rubio +20
Fabrizio (R) 01/27 – 01/28 800 LV 42 30 Rubio +12
Quinnipiac 01/20 – 01/24 1628 RV 44 35 Rubio +9

That young, ethnic Rubio is up in every one of them. BTW, I thought all young people were progressive Democrats?

All of you chronic whiners and “Huggies” fans don’t know the half of it. We are about to be invaded by hoards, hoards I tell you, of Limbaugh-esque pygmy people from Uranus who will force us to watch Glenn Beck until we cry or buy gold; of course then we have to deal with the Mayan end-of-the-world business in 2012. So much to whine about, so little time, limited quantities of Huggies.

My advice – skip the gold, buy survival seeds and move to north Idaho….or possibly Ghana.

valkyrie:

Did you see that I agreed with you about the ACLU in yesterday’s thread about the Stupak press conference? I send some love your way and I don’t even get an amen, brother back from you? I’m devastated!

As as for Medicare. It is a ponzi scheme. When it collapses, and it inevitably will, you’ll understand why conservatives complained about it.

Glynnis,
He was referring to the American-hating 60′s hippies that now reside in and around the white house.

Obama was born in the 60s, moron. For someone to be a 60s hippie means they would at least be in their late fifties. Obama is a decade too young. You might as well call him a Whig.

Jelperman:

The White House is a big place. Obama doesn’t work there alone. I’m guessing that Obama employs and associates with a lot of people from that decade (cough, cough, Bill Ayers, cough, cough). It’s a disingenuous straw-man argument to make an overly-literal reading of what Michelle F wrote and then call her a moron for it.

Why does he HATE a great piece of America? San Fransisco is an amazing city, with an amazing culture and a prime beacon of American liberty and life.

By the way, this Twitter confirms that Glenn Beck is a conservative who roots for the Republican party (instead of being faux independent, “every day normal guy” who lives in a god damn multimillion dollar mansion). Can now stop just stop including “…and Republicans” every time he attacks Democrats?

>I thought all young people were progressive Democrats?

Pretty close though. Young people are incredibly non-religous, pro-gay and anti-war. Democrats are the party for those people right now. The Republican party is digging its own grave.

M:

I was a liberal when I was young, too. At the age of 24, I ran for public office as a Democrat. But there’s an old adage (I think it comes from Churchill): If you’re not a liberal at 20, then you have no heart; if you’re not a conservative at 40, then you have no brain.

Jelperman, I think the best part of your father ran down your mother’s legs.
