Another Town Hall, Another idiot Congressman

 

Add Congressman Bob Inglis from South Carolina to the long list of morons in politics. He told constituents at a Healthcare Town Hall meeting to "turn off Glenn Beck" when he comes on. He was booed loudly. Inglis followed that up with brilliant commentary that Glenn (Rally for America, cried about his love for America on national TV, World Record holder for most Founding Fathers quotes memorized) and his views of America are "not consistent with the America that I know. The America I know was founded by people who took tiny boats across a big ocean, and pushed west in tiny wagons, and landed on the moon."  Glenn responds to Inglis, a guy who admittedly has only watched the show a couple of times. Apparently he must have missed the opening of Glenn's TV shows which, like EVERY OTHER show, begins with "If you think this country is great...come on, follow me!" ( Transcript/Video, Insider Audio)

 

Government and YOU!

Showing just how in touch with reality they are, Washington DC responded to the fury and hypocrisy of Congress approving the purchase of 3 private jets for over $200 million dollars...by adding a few more planes to that purchase order. That brings the total up to $550 million in taxpayer money so that our brilliant members of Congress can "get around more easily and swiftly." Oh, well in that case, order a few more! STORY

Most corrupt stimulus state?

A non-partisan watchdog group conducted a study of all 50 states to find out which ones were the most transparent in tracking the stimulus money they received. Part of President Obama's most transparent government plan included the states keeping tabs on all the money. How is that working out? Not too well, as you can imagine. So bad in fact, one state managed to score a 'zero' on a scale of 1-100. Any takers on which state it is? Glenn explains in his latest video blog 'Beck Talks' episode. WATCH

Feet to the Fire

A lot of people ask Glenn “what can I do to make a difference?”  KLIF Radio’s Jeff Bolton continues to make a difference.  He’s created a website designed to hold each member of Congress accountable to ‘We the People’ by spreading the message that they work for us and we can fire them!  Visit this site, learn about your congressman and then YOU decide whether your congressman deserves to stay in office or look for another line of work.  My suspicion -- a lot of them need to be dusting off and updating their resumes!
