I knew things were going to get rough this last week of debate, that the right would ratchet it up. I also knew that Glenn Beck is the lowest form of slime there is, so why I am surprised by what he said, by how he said it is beyond me. I should have known that he could sink lower, I should have known that somehow those that mold themselves as the most devotely "christian" are often the most hateful, vile, hypocrtical pieces of human excrement, and STILL I did not expect this...
Tonight on his show, Beck went after the young boy who testified about his mother, and how she died after losing her health care. He tried to claim that all she needed to do was go to the emergency room, which she did, but they only treat the symptoms and then send you home. He as much as admitted that the system is broken when he mentioned that she was a single mother of 3 and could not get medicaid.
This man physically makes me ill. Why is it that these "Christian" conservatives always talk about charity freely given, yet they are the LAST one's to actually step up and help their fellow americans? Here we stand, the "Godless" (conservative term) liberals, freely opening our hearts and our wallets to help all our fellow Americans truly have the BEST healthcare in the world for ALL Americans. Why is this such a foreign concept? I just don't understand!
How far are we willing to let the right go in claiming the moral high ground while living a complete and utter lie?! I would rather live by my values and be a "Godless" liberal any day of the week then to be like the vile, hypocritical "Christian" Glenn Beck. Faith is about more than religion, being a good person is about more than going to church, and social justice is about more than whatever twisted view of charity Beck has.
The time has come to show these bastards what values are, to show them how to make meaningful change that allows everyone to live, and live with dignity! I think NOW is when enough is enough!
