Useful Idiot Geraldo Rivera Is Giddy After Dems Vote to Nationalize Health Care (Video)

Thanks FOX.
To add insult to injury FOX News put on a giddy Geraldo Rivera after democrats voted to nationalize the nation’s health care industry. Nothing like rubbing salt in our wounds, FOX.
Remember as you watch this that this is the supposed conservative channel:
Useful Idiot Geraldo Rivera:
“Thanks Bret. Don’t go away for a second. I think that listening to his soaring words, rhetorical flourishes though they may be, isn’t there a possibility that some of the commentators tonight are way too gloomy? That maybe we have turned the corner in an unsupportable, untenetable system? Maybe by doing something revolutionary like Social Security, like Medicaid, that we have, that this president has, that this Congress has finally taken a step to fix something that we have been complaining so bitterly about?”
For the record, the Majority Leader Harry Reid spent $1.2 billion of taxpayer money to buy off and bribe democrats for their vote on this Obamacare bill in December. The bribes and kickbacks are still in the bill.
This was never about health care, Geraldo.

Fox is *NOT* “the conservative channel” – there is no such thing. Fox is merely the only major player which gives access to some conservatives – Hannity comes to mind. On main, Fox falls pretty much in the center, like its flagship show, The O’Reilly Factor.” Its owner, Murdoch, is a liberal who values money over ideology. If not for that, Fox would be as worthless as the other broadcast / cable outlets.
There are only two serious outlets available for conservative views: talk radio and the Internet.

My blog entry today reads like this:
Headline “Obamacare”
I’ve been arguing against it for weeks. I think I’m one of the few people in Europe who are against it, mainly because I know how the system looks like on the long run. Bankrupt health insurances. Hospitals that lack staff and equipment. Infrastructure that’s falling apart, literally. I have seen and still see it in the UK, in the Netherlands, in Germany and in Austria all the time. Our “great” nationalized health care systems are going down the sewer. Those, who can afford it, flock to private insurance.
Here people actually believe all the horror stories about US health care that were amphasized by Michael Moore’s lies. The blatant and primitive anti-Americanism that is displayed on German and Austrian forums (even on the government-run TV and radio station ORF) is amazing and even scary, as it proves that manipulating the masses is so easy, even today when everyone is supposed to be smarter. These people have learned nothing. I think today someone like Hitler would have it even easier to gain power.
Today is March 22. I actually wanted to wait with this until tomorrow, but due to recent events…
No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The questing before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us: they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free– if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending–if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained–we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of hosts is all that is left us!
They tell us, sir, that we are weak; unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance by lying supinely on our backs and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. The millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable–and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come.
It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace– but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!
Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.
A battle has been lost, but the war is far from over.
America will win Congress back in November.
Obama… Four years and out.

Golly, it appears Geraldo is unenlightened to the fact that for the next 4 years 14 million Democrat props are still going to die because they don’t yet have government-run Universal Death Care insurance.

He’s like a tweenie girl gushing about her favorite Jonas brother. No facts, no analysis, just “Hey, maybe this’ll be really cool ‘n junk, you know?”
And maybe pigs will fly out of Obama’s–
Atlanta Media Guy commented:
America becoming a bankrupt Epic Failure! Once a bright spot in the world, becoming something it really isn’t with a community organizer at the helm. Get ready folks the tax on your health care begins the second Dr. Obama signs the bill. Your health care costs just went up.
anonymous commented:
Geraldo must leave Fox News Network. He doesn’t belong to Fox News Network. Beside Geraldo, Greta, Chris Wallace, Shepperd Smith, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck, for example need to go, too. They used to worked for the liberal news network. That why I don’t watch the news anymore.
HANOI JOHN KERRY commented:
Geraldo wants AMNESTIA! http://www.BorderInvasionPics.com

I hate this A-sole with a passion. He is such a worthless POS, the worst kind of attention seeker and a Marxist in a suit.
Sure, he wants Shamnesty. A permanent voter base for a Socialist America. What else matters?

I don’t have a problem with liberals on Fox News because their slogan is “Fair and balanced”. I thought it was a big mistake to break up Hannity and Colmes because at least Colmes would try to make a decent argument for his side.
But Geraldo….is..uggghh.
He substitutes emotional gibberish for a factual argument.

“Turned the corner” and run into a $60-70 Trillion brick wall at 100 miles/hr. I’d say it good the health care will be free now!
Viv commented:
Geraldo is a donkey, I have no idea why Fox even employs him. I was born and grew up in England, over the years I have watched how socialism has destroyed my country, it’s now happening to America. You need to fight it every step of the way.
saxton commented:
This is just the beginning.I believe it was setup even before the vote. Now this precedence will give them amnesty, cap & tax. The America we knew is gone. Hello freak show-bisexuals, pediphile sex, beastility, & perverts. The sorry demo-rats devil dogs have taken over. They love, love to spend other peoples money-that’s what they do. They are the brainless, non-innovators, parasites, who hate those who are “creators” developers. There are so many of them, they have low-self-esteem–and are parasites. We conseratives believe in GOD, defending our country, not aborting life, and are creators of new ideas-space, science, medicine bulb-electricity-on&on. They live off of US. We need to build our new country–and bar them from coming inn—in 20 years from now they will be killing each other, islamics will take them over..and with no advancement in anything. They’ll all be gay, bisexual or belong to nambla. I say Alaska, Texas and Oklahoma–recede NOW!

A Favor for Fannie Mae
[Senator Chris Dodd's financial reform runs to 1,300 pages but lacks a single sentence on how to reform Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Actually, it's worse than that. One provision could make Fannie and Freddie even more dominant in the business of mortgage-backed securities.
Remember, these two government-sponsored enterprises were root causes of the housing debacle. They bought tens of billions of dollars in subprime mortgages from the likes of Angelo Mozilo's Countrywide Financial, slapped their guarantees on trillions in home loans, failed to set aside enough capital, and then collapsed into the arms of taxpayers in 2008.
Fan and Fred's rescue has already cost taxpayers $126.9 billion in direct assistance, with the Congressional Budget Office estimating that the total cost of subsidizing them from the bailout through 2020 will approach $400 billion. Yet Mr. Dodd's bill, when combined with current interpretations of accounting rules, will provide a strong incentive for banks to do even more business with Fan and Fred.]

Billion-Dollar Scandal Not Ready for Prime Time
[Gasparino agreed: “Right. It’s not related to George Bush. Franklin Raines, I believe, is a Democrat. So there is a degree here – because I’ve heard journalists talk about this – that hey, this is – there’s politics on the part of the Republicans. That’s why they’re beating up on Fannie Mae, which may be true. But, at the same time, this is a huge story, and it’s going overlooked.”
Sadly, this perception of political correctness is out of touch with reality. According to a September 2003 report by a GSE watchdog group, Fannie Mae Policy Focus, Fannie lags far behind the market in facilitating housing for minority and first-time buyers. As a matter of fact, the GSEs buy less than 10 percent of private sector loans to first-time African-American and Hispanic purchasers. Moreover, Fannie and Freddie acquired “more loans made to absentee landlords, vacation homes, and second mortgages than first-time homebuyer loans,” according to the report.]
wake me up when America wakes up, oh
wait.. i’ll be in my r.i.p. stage by the time..
