Willy, here is my problem with Glen Beck...I've been watching his show lately and this is where I disagree. If someone has any desire to implement or even discuss anything that is traditionally labeled "progressive" he paints a broad brush and calls them "communists or socialists" and all the bad parts of those movements that came along with them in our world history. ( not to mention the dramatic way he does it like we should all be so appalled)

Let me ask you this and be honest...if some how magically every person in this country, or world for that matter could be taken care of medically with quaility care, and it was somehow paid for equitably wouldnt that be just the best thing ever? Or if we had a world economy without politics involved where now instead of having 300 million US customers I could sell my widgets to I had 6 billion people without having to worry about trade laws and embargos and taxes and all the other bull**** that our world politics brings with it.

Call me a progressive or communist or whatever you want but in THEORY universal healthcare and a world economy would be a GOOD thing but with the "current world order" it will never happen. You have to admit our current worlds political system is rediculous. But if you imagine changing it you just said basically that you want a "new world order" and Glenn Beck automatically says that means we are not at the top of this order and the world will come to an end.

The problem is with our current political 2 party system is someone cant even attempt to dream about that kind of thing without being called a "Socialist or Communist" by the Republican party and the whole machine comes to a grinding to a halt.
