That’s funny, I did not hear loony, crazy, or anything like that. If he thought that, why would he be on tour with him?[/quote]
I realize that you are a simple fellow, but you must understand that something doesn’t necessarily need to be vocalized to be apparent. Does o’reilly’s overt skepticism (almost condescension) not come through to you? And it’s beck’s attitude and demeanor more than anything that get me. It’s as if he doesn’t even believe what he is saying. He can barely contain his giddiness when talking about this stuff, almost as if he’s wondering how much crazy he can push before it gets pushed back
And do you really have to ask that question? There are a number of very simple reasons as to why they would be on tour together.[/quote]
I love your attempts at witty low blows, but about Beck, he is acting like that as a way to mock Soros. I know you do not agree, and think that I am crazy for saying that, but it is true. Please tell me the obvious reasons that O’riely has to go on tour with Beck if he thinks he is so crazy. They do disagree on a good bit, but Bill still highly respects him, and they are friends. If bill really thought Beck was nuts, he would stay away from him, as to not hurt his own credibility. I know you disagree, but at the same time, you can not intelligently explain why, so why don’t you do the classy liberal thing, and point out my spelling and grammer mistakes.
If anyone has watched Beck, they would know that within two years time he has gone from a mad crazy issues and Dem thumping machine to a somber, melancholy man that is truly concerned. He has dropped the raising of voice to a more somber tone.
Hasn’t he been diagnosed with bipolar disorder ?
if he has, this shift is not really surprising.
note :
it’s an honest question.
I remember reading something about that, but since my knowledge about US media pundits is next to zero, i can be grossly misinformed.

I decided to wiki him. Here’s what it says:
[i]Adulthood
While working at WPGC, Beck met his first wife, Claire.[17] The couple married and had two daughters, Mary and Hannah. Mary developed cerebral palsy as a result of a series of strokes at birth in 1988.[17] The couple divorced in 1994 amid Beck’s struggles with substance abuse. A recovering alcoholic and drug addict,[18] Beck has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.[19][20] By 1994, Beck was suicidal, and imagined shooting himself to the music of his fellow Washingtonian, Kurt Cobain.[19] However, he cites the help of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in his sobriety and attended his first AA meeting in November 1994, the month he states he stopped drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis.[19] After getting clean, Beck would claim that he had gotten high every day for the previous 15 years, since the age of 16.[11]
In 1996, while working for a New Haven-area radio station, Beck took a theology class at Yale University. The class was called “Early Christology” and â?? after dropping out â?? marked the extent of Beck’s post secondary education.[19][21] This was followed by Beck going on a “spiritual quest” where he “sought out answers in churches and bookstores.”[19] As Beck later recounted in his books and stage performances, his first attempt at self-education involved six wide-ranging authors: Alan Dershowitz, Pope John Paul II, Adolf Hitler, Billy Graham, Carl Sagan, and Friedrich Nietzsche.[19] During this time, Beck’s Mormon friend and former radio partner Pat Gray argued in favor of the “comprehensive worldview” offered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, an offer that Beck vehemently rejected until a few years later.[19]
In 1999, Beck married his second wife, Tania.[19] After they went looking for a faith on a church tour together, they “settled on Mormonism”,[19] and joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in October 1999, partly at the urging of his daughter Mary.[22][23] Beck would be baptized by his old friend, and current-day co-worker Pat Gray, in an emotional ceremony.[19] Beck and his current wife have had two children together, Raphe (who is adopted) and Cheyenne. The couple live in New Canaan, Connecticut with their four children.[24] His daughter Mary has cerebral palsy.[25]
Beck announced in July 2010 that he had been diagnosed with macular dystrophy, saying “A couple of weeks ago I went to the doctor because of my eyes, I can’t focus my eyes.” The disorder can make it difficult to read, drive or recognize faces.[26]

feel free to replace “dismantled their army, destroyed their oh-so-expensive-and-unnecessary weapons and been invaded by a random foreign nation” by “privatized their army and became the subjects of a neofeudal corporation” if it fit your dogmas better. [/quote]
I am more of a Jeffersonian minarchist.
I think th�??�??�??�?�¡t arnies are necessary and one of the few justifications for its existence a government actually has.
Does not change that I refuse to mourn for dumbasses who died for “God and country”.
That is just natural selection taking its course.

Please do not call yourself a Jeffersonian anything, if you are not going to show respect to our fallen heroes in the military.[/quote]
Oh please, just read some Jefferson, will you?
[/quote]
Why don’t you? here is one example, and if that is not enough, I can post all day long.
Paying the ransom would only lead to further demands, Jefferson argued in letters to future presidents John Adams, then America’s minister to Great Britain, and James Monroe, then a member of Congress. As Jefferson wrote to Adams in a July 11, 1786, letter, “I acknolege [sic] I very early thought it would be best to effect a peace thro’ the medium of war.” Paying tribute will merely invite more demands, and even if a coalition proves workable, the only solution is a strong navy that can reach the pirates, Jefferson argued in an August 18, 1786, letter to James Monroe: "The states must see the rod; perhaps it must be felt by some one of them. . . . [/quote]
Do you realize how Jefferson sold out the Marines he sent to the Barbary Coast? I read a terrific book about it a few years back. Wish I could remember the title…
