If you want to see a classic example of how our government acts outside the law, watch this video with Glenn Beck ripping Connecticut's Attorney General a new one over the AIG bonuses. The good stuff starts about 1:30 into the video. Watch the AG squirm and stutter for 11 minutes as Beck continually asks him what law allows Connecticut's AG to take back the AIG bonuses (the eventual answer – there isn't one).
After watching Beck destroy this government clown, I only hope Beck, who lives in Connecticut, has his own financial house in locked-down airtight order. Then again, it doesn't really matter. If the government wants you, the government will get you.

Beck needs to be institutionalized.
You need to be institutionalized.
Beck exposed the Connecticut AG's ignorance and/or indifference to the law.
When I watched Beck do that on his show I was amazed that the AG tried so long to keep from saying that there is no such a law. I am starting to think that THEY will do anything to get to where THEY want to be.
Actually this one was sickening and I don't think that Rev Red even bothered to watch the video because he is convinced that anybody who crosses the administration as Beck does should be institutionalized, which would put probably millions of us in institutions. Do we have room for us all or should the government borrow more money to build buildings to house us.
I do think that Rev Red will get very lonely running around with only his kind.
I think what caught the AG off guard was that Beck wasn't exhibiting the populist rage du jour, he was talking about the law. Obviously, the AG had never even considered the law. He was just trying to score political points. And that is the microcosm of the larger problem.
You know, I didn't even check to see if the Connecticut AG was a Democrat or a Republican.
Roy,
Maybe they can put us all in those FEMA camps down the road.
I watched the Beck piece. All he did was bully the AG, speak over him and then try to play gotcha-question with him.
If anyone thinks that Beck is sensible, or his rhetoric believable…then yes….institutionalization should be on the table.
But you know I love you guys, right?
