BillsNYC Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Being in NYC, those few weeks after 9-11 brought out the best in NYers, I'm on board with Beck. And I share his sentiment about some of the 9-11 families, some of them were WAY over the top with complaining, they let the "power" they had go to their heads and started abusing it.

Chef Jim Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I don't get it. Is he going to blow up more buildings or something so we can go back to that mentality? No, someone else is going to do that for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsNYC Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I don't get it. Is he going to blow up more buildings or something so we can go back to that mentality? No, he's just saying why can't people be patriotic and neighborly like they were right after 9-11? For a few weeks after people didn't honk their horns, drove better, people were courteous on the subways and buses. In general, most people were decent to each other. I think its lame to make fun of him for saying he wants people to be like that all the time. I mean, god forbid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Frenkle Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 No, he's just saying why can't people be patriotic and neighborly like they were right after 9-11?

I think its lame to make fun of him for saying he wants people to be like that all the time. I mean, god forbid. It's a lot like people who have near death experiences. For a time after they start "treating every day as a gift", having more compassion for others, etc... Invariably these people all regress to the norm. I think it's just human nature.

IDBillzFan Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 It's getting to be particularly comical now how the left has absolutely no one to pick on except the small segment of the media that disagrees with them. Limbaugh, Santelli, Beck. I don't follow any of these guys, and probably wouldn't hear much of what they say at all except for the left membership elevating them to a more national spotlight by posting and sharing this stuff. It cracks me up that the left thinks that attacking/mocking them actually helps their cause when it does just the opposite. Even this article from the Huffington Post has the author telling people they're doing more harm than good. President Obama and the Democrats should wave the white flag in their strawman war on Rush Limbaugh. The Media Research Center delivered the grim casualty figures for the Democrats. Since January, the top talk show gabber's ratings have soared off the charts. Radio affiliates that carry Limbaugh's syndicated show call the ratings boost he's gotten from the Democrat's orchestrated attack on him a "dramatic surge." Really. Quite comical. But I guess when you don't have a message of your own except "Obey the ruler. Spend and borrow your way out of debt," it's easier to point at some side show in hopes no one is paying attention to your own missteps. Wake me up when Colbert does a story on Obama now being in charge of GM, and his new warranty program, or the appointment of yet another tax cheat.

Like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJeK4xAJD10 (as in why can't we rally around good things instead of bad ones?)

KD in CA Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Being in NYC, those few weeks after 9-11 brought out the best in NYers, I'm on board with Beck.

I don't know who Glen Beck is and don't really care about him or whatever is in the link, but this statement is spot on. With the possible except of W, no one has worn out their welcome post-9/11 more than the '9-11 families'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't around on December 8th, 1941, but people who were, say it was more like that. I don't remember 9/12 being about an obnoxious celebration of regime change, at least not here in the United States of America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Lieutenant Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Wake me up when Colbert does a story on Obama now being in charge of GM, and his new warranty program, or the appointment of yet another tax cheat. Most people would, you know, actually do a 2 second Google search or actually watch the show before making this statement. http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-r...chle-steps-down http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2009/01/w...geithner-n.html In the meantime, Stephen Colbert and Jay Leno have been cracking jokes about Geithner. Said Colbert: “Hey, I don't pay my taxes. Why can't I be Treasury secretary?” I guess it doesn't embarrass you to make sweeping comments on things that you know absolutely nothing about.
