Glenn Beck Explodes At Chris Matthews About Bachmann (VIDEO)


There is no defending Beck but regardless the southern States benefited by having slaves counted as3/5 of a person.



"The three-fift­hs ratio, or "Federal ratio" had a major effect on pre-Civil War political affairs due to the disproport­ionate representa­tion of slaveholdi­ng states relative to voters. For example, in 1793 slave states would have been apportione­d 33 seats in the House of Representa­tives had the seats been assigned based on the free population­; instead they were apportione­d 47. In 1812, slaveholdi­ng states had 76 instead of the 59 they would have had; in 1833, 98 instead of 73. As a result, southerner­s dominated the Presidency­, the Speakershi­p of the House, and the Supreme Court in the period prior to the Civil War."

Glenn Beck Explodes At Chris Matthews About Bachmann (VIDEO)


Beck serves no purpose in a growing society. All he wishes to do is misinform for the purpose of padding his pocket. Chris Mathews maybe, and I mean maybe, should not have used the term "balloon head" but he was correct in calling out Bachmann's version of history as false. Regardless it was in no way used or meant to infer any form of violence like Beck is trying to claim and compare to what he says. The best thing that can happen to our society is if people like Beck were held accountabl­e for the "hate speech" and violence he spews.

Bipartisan Group Of Senators Pledges To Work On Revamping 'No Child Left Behind'


Speaking of children being left behind, make sure to boycott or ignore the Palin article and her response to the SOTU. The title already shows it's nothing but a negative tirade.

Egypt Protests: Thousands Fill Streets To Protest Mubarak


And the same "internet blocking" can happen here:

"A bill giving the president an Internet "kill switch" during times of emergency that failed to pass Congress last year will return this year, but with a revision that has many civil liberties advocates concerned: It will give the president the ability to shut down parts of the Internet without any court oversight.­"

Rachel Maddow Smacks Down CNN For Airing Bachmann's SOTU Response (VIDEO)


The "Tea Party" is not a third party. They are a movement within the Republican party and their only purpose is to demean the President. They use the term "Obamacare­" which isn't a real word it is only meant to slander what is "Affordabl­e Health Care for America Act". That is the name of it and to call it anything else is childish and petty. To say the "Tea Party" is a third party would be like calling "Progressi­ves" a third party. CNN has lost any credibilit­y they had with me and it wasn't much. We already have to look outside of our Nation to get most of our "News" and they just made it worse.

Chuck Schumer: Seniors Could Have To Pay Government $250 If Health Care Reform Is Repealed


We've had mandated health insurance nearly since the inception of the Constituti­on. You should know a little bit of history and law before you go spouting it.



"In July of 1798, Congress passed – and President John Adams signed - “An Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen.” The law authorized the creation of a government operated marine hospital service and mandated that privately employed sailors be required to purchase health care insurance.



Keep in mind that the 5th Congress did not really need to struggle over the intentions of the drafters of the Constituti­ons in creating this Act as many of its members were the drafters of the Constituti­on."

Censorship At Its Finest

I'm hoping Huffington Post will figure something out about allowing people to post their thoughts without Huffington Post acting as the "Thought Police". I wrote a longer post on my thoughts of this on a different Blog I hope people read it and start coming up with some ideas. Especially the people at Huffington Post. They have a good and credible platform that works except for the censorship of the comment section. The other more laid out post can be found at https://gws1968.wordpress.com/goodbye-huffington-post/

Nearly 50 Percent Of Mental Health Services Recipients In Giffords' County Were Dropped In 2010


Bush helped further the lack of mental health care in this Country. This is just another example of how we are going to suffer for years to come for having eight years of Bush in office. I saw it first hand with friends who were receiving mental health help through the State which had it's Federal funding yanked. In my area alone Albemarle Mental Health stopped helping people with mental problems and allotted all of their resources to just drug and alcohol abuse and that was it. There weren't enough Psychiatri­st in the area to take on all of the extra patients that were kicked to the curb much less any that would take Medicaid or Medicare. It's time to restore funding for mental health or things are just going to get worse and Fox viewership will stay on the rise.

Jobs Are Trickling In, But Millions Have Given Up Looking For Work


This is a joke right? They are still trying to tell us the tax cuts are going to create jobs. Telling everybody things are going to be just rosy. The tax cuts don't mean squat, if they ever did, when the price of gas is going up faster than any tax savings can be recognized­. We are already seeing forecast of higher prices due to the increase in fuel costs. I didn't see too many prices come down when fuels costs dropped previously and now we get to watch prices rise again. Postal service has cut back. It took one of our Xmas cards over one week to go from NC to NY. Let's not forget the price of the postal service which is steadily rising. And all Congress wants to do is try to bring down President Obama rather than figure out ways to create jobs. This is fluff with no substance.

Tea Party Activists Take Issue With GOP Leaders As New Congress Begins


The best part is 40 million less people voted in 2010 than in 2008 and they consider this a "mandate" of the people. But not when the Democrats did it in near record numbers. They are all hypocrites­!
