I can understand distrust of a big government. GWB showed us good. |

But what doesn’t make sense is that the Beck-heads didn’t say a word when the Bush admin passed the Patriot Act, the Military Commissions Act, dumped habeas corpus, dumped Posse Comitatus, started spying on Americans in there homes, picked up citizens off the street and tortured them, etc.
But now that President Barack Obama wants to provide every American with decent health care, something that each and every other modern nation already provides, the Beck-heads cry no big government. Some may wonder why.
The answer is that they are basically cowards and love to hide behind the bully when the bully picks on the helpless. Insurance corporations, media corporations and Faux News are the bullies and the Beck-heads are standing safely behind them.
Americans are literally dieing at the hands of the insurance industry, yet they support the industry.
