Okay, he didn't just say positive things about unions. He said a bunch of other things that I don't necessarily agree with. But it's interesting that when the chips are down, even the most right-wing folks still want our first responders and nurses to be safe.
According to CrowdTangle, this post is getting 15X the engagement Beck usually gets.

The CDC is out of control!
A THIRD Ebola patient (second healthcare worker).
I am not a union guy, but THIS IS A CASE WHERE THE LABOR UNION IS NEEDED AGAINST A OUT OF CONTROL GOVERNMENT. Don't blame the private hospital, the nurses or the patients. Let's fix it by admitting our government is incompetent.
Where are the emergency showers for the health care workers? (we saw them in practice right after 9.11 remember the scrub down tests). Why are they not here in Texas?
Where are the respirators for the HC workers? Heck, how about booties?
Why are we not working and fast tracking ZMapp?
Why have we not shut down travel FROM West Africa? A UPS truck delivers packages and then returns back to its origin EMPTY.
Mr. Friedman needs to learn that airplanes can do the same thing. We can send help and isolate those who are returning.
Have we found Typhoid Mary? She is a man and she may be living at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. (the CDC buck stops there, in fact all $2.5 billion on infectious disease control yet unspent THIS YEAR stops there. Who's idea was it to spend $500B on bike paths from the infectious disease budget?)).
If Texas were Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton Texas would be marching and accusing DC of not caring about her. Is there a war on Texas? Is the administration "punishing her enemies", as the president has repeatedly said he would do?
Is it simple yet massive incompetence? Is it because we won't play Washington's political reindeer games? Would the president be treating Ebola the same way if it were inner city Chicago? Would the cDC, the administration and congress be responding the same way if the outbreak happened in DC? If one of the patients was a senator? Doubtful.
Thank heavens we are not Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton. I ONLY write this to show the left how insane it is to point fingers at this point! Stop with the DNC ads for campaigns! Please let's work together.
I do not want to assign blame, but I do want someone, ANYONE, to take responsibility and begin to secure our nation. This will effect all of us, left, right, rich and poor, black and white.
Maybe The Lord is using this to remind us that in the end we are all humans and we all need each other.
God help us ALL. United we stand - divided we fall.

(51,666 posts)Excuse me, Mr. Beck, but the hospital is who has been grossly negligent.
Uncle Sam is not responsible for ensuring that each staff member at THP knows how to work around infectious diseases without becoming part of the problem. That's hospital management's job.
What an asswipe. Still.

(17,469 posts)an "out of control" government, it is a government crippled by budget cuts and gutted regulatory authority. Every time the government has tried to improve health care in this country, despicable little fucks like Glenn Beck start crying and screaming "OPPRESSION!!!"

(17,862 posts)and not $500B (not saying it is but it is absolutely not a $1/2 T). I could see as part of the "shovel" ready desire to get stimulus dollars out there that bike trails would receive federal grants. It is actually good policy when done right
