“Why can’t I keep my insurance?” Because you’re stupid, sweetie. Okay. This all goes to my screaming rants that people are responsible for their government. I’m getting really sick of people acting all indignant and acting like they’re being ambushed by this whole ObamaCare thing. “Er my gawsh, y’all! My insurance bill just quadrupled. I’m serious you guys!” Well, no kidding. What in the blue firey blazes did you expect? Let’s see. Insurance is risk pooling.

“On this day, we gather because we have chosen hope over fear, unity of purpose over conflict and discord.

Not surprisingly, Beck added, the president’s approval rating has fallen to 50 percent, which is below where President Bush’s approval rating sat after his first six months in office.

Mitt Romney Massachusetts will likely soon become the first state in the nation to force everyone living within its borders to buy health insurance or pay a tax for walking around uninsured. Gov. Romney says by signing such a mass mandate into law, he will achieve the Democrats' goal of universal health coverage on Republican market-oriented principles. Uh-huh.
