Cenk man, you've got to get off this Public Option BS and start respecting the rule of law in the Constitution. I know you came here from the ass crack of the 3rd world and do not know or respect our principles here in America, but we are land of the free because of limits on government.
We are a Republic ruled by law, not a Democracy like other countries going by mob rule and collectivism. A Republic protects the rights of the minority, meanwhile a Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner. You do not understand the concepts America was founded on. You do not have the "right" for government run health care because that is assuming you have rights to my money even though only I have earned it.
I read the Constitution and the majority does not have the power to take away the rights of the minority. It is my right not to pay by taxation and inflation for some else's healthcare. The public option = government takeover because who will pay for their own healthcare when they are already paying through taxes and inflation for the public option of not just themselves but everyone else? Have you seriously even thought this through for 5 minutes? No one will want to pay for the same services twice. The only way it will work is if rich people pay for it AND their own health care because once they get tired of paying and jump in too, the whole system will crash. It's unsustainable. We're on the verge of another great depression with historical record debt. No more government. No more spending. No more waste.

Is it a cat, dog, or hairless Sloth? Personally, I think it's a Sloth gone full body brazilian. But, I have never heard of a tree dwelling creature taking residence in a cave.
The articles are HERE and another HERE (The pictures are really freaky)
I been listenin' to your show over a year now. Just start gettin into politics a couple of year ago and I realized that i was LEEEBRAL as you would say. Keep up the good work man! We need Progressives on National Radio. Especially out here in Ohio.
These videos were done before the debacle we see before us now. While I dare say I was right the fuck on, I see no one else but a select few get it. I'm re releasing these edited versions in honor of the gigantic failure of the American two party system to reflect the will of Americans. Especially the Americans that solidly spoke up together for Hope and Change and are getting Chump Change thrown in our faces.
My advice? Grab this government by the fucking throat and squeeze until they cry.
Pay very close attention. The closest we all can get to finding what REALLY happened that day is if we listen to people that survived the tragedy of 9-11. This man and many others all agree on something that the mainstream media has been intentionally hiding - that the world trade center was taken down by a controlled demolition! Bombs took the towers down, not the airplanes!! Remember that and tell your friends and family. It's 8 yrs later and still, we need to get the truth out there.
Invading Iraq is wrong, going to a war based on lies is wrong, and allowing a President King-like powers to pick a war of his choice and then have his Vice President hire all his private companies to bank in on the war is wrong. Oh, and did I mention bombs were not on the airplanes - they were in the buildings! Didn't ... know this, did you? It's TRUE. Surviving witnesses of the tragedy in NYC all agree, whether they were firemen, policemen, or janitors sweeping the floor that there were explosions even before the first plane hit. Bush knew what was happening and ignored the warnings as did Clinton during the 90s. A lot of people did. The reason they let it happened is because Presidential power is always at its height under war-time situations. Bush used 9-11 as an excuse to steal about our liberties in the name of fear.
Watch this video at least twice and pass it around to everyone you know. The victims of this tragic event need closure. As an American, you owe it to them and to yourself to get the truth out there!
