God where to listen to Beck rant on government managed care
I was laughing my ass off.

So we had to go see the docs at a NAVAL medical facility... and what's on the tv? Glenny....

I had to laugh.

I made the comment to the man besides me, wearing an Obama T-Shirt... "isn't this funny? Good Ol' Glenny ranting on the tv at a local Guv'ment run facility?"

A few of the in uniform sailors started to laugh, as they got the joke. By the way the staff changed the channel...

I mean he's ranting against government run care... and this is coming off on a TV at a GOVERNMENT RUN facility? One that has very good care and works ON TIME?

Realize the sailors in uniform really could not say a thing. But the rest of us could.

1. Why couldn't the sailors in uniform say anything? Never realized it was against conduct code
for uniformed men and women to criticism a media pundit.

2. Your rights to free speech and other constitutional protections go
the moment you raise your right hand.

If they were OFF uniform they could.

It is really weird.

And this is NOT just the US either. I wore a uniform as a medic for ten years and it got really weird.

But still they changed the channel

:-)
