Scattered Showers of Journalism: “Today Show” finally catches up to Glenn on Greek economy

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

For months, Glenn has been warning that economic collapse is coming to the Europe and that it would eventually spread to the United States and the rest of the world. Well, it seems like the mainstream media is starting to catch on to the reality of economic peril facing Europe – even if they are only talking about Greece at this point.

The Today Show reported this morning on the crisis in Greece. Their correspondent Keith Miller said (emphasis ours):

The Greek government is under tremendous pressure to reach a deal, a new bailout. If they can’t reach an agreement, Greece could be the first country in the European Monetary Union to default. That would send the economy here into a death spiral. There are already signs of an economy in collapse. Soup kitchens and bread lines are packed with people without jobs and little hope of finding one.

….

Greece…is bankrupt. For decades the country lived well and worked little, all on borrowed money. Now Greece is suffering under severe austerity measures imposed by its neighbors as conditions for a bailout.

How bad is it? Keith Miller said, “The basic fabric of life is unraveling. Suicides up 40%. Homicide and violent crime up almost 100% and cuts in social services so deep it is making the greeks sick, literally. Hospital admissions jumped 24%, even as hospital budgets were cut by 40%.”

Wow, that sounds a lot like what Glenn has been saying on radio and TV for a while, huh?

The report does ignore the fact that these problems could spread to the rest of Europe and the United States, something Glenn has been saying for months.

Glenn reacts below:

In December of 2010, Glenn warned:

“It is truly elegant the way that this country and the globe is being conned into a collective government. I want to go back to Europe and show now the choice in Europe. You know that they first said that they had to give lots of bailout money and it had to be staggering amounts – does this sound familiar – to shock the system over in Europe. And it went to Greece and that was supposed to stop the dominoes from falling. And now the next domino is starting to fall and that is Ireland. And the Irish didn’t want it. And they were forced by the EU to take it, otherwise all the other dominoes would fall. Well, there’s more dominoes to come. It’s going to be Portugal and then it will be Spain. It’s over.”

On January 24th, Glenn presented a new theory on what was coming along with economic collapse:

Economic Collapse is coming. First to Europe, then to the U.S. and the rest of the world.
As a result:
1) The dollar will no longer be gold standard.
2) Civil War, unlike Civil War of the 1860s, will be fought in our inner cities led by radicals (anarchists, communists, revolutionaries, and Islamists)
3) This conflict will be fed and fueled by those in power in Washington D.C. and in our universities
4) Global War is coming
5) Radical Islamists and Communists will seek violence in our cities and on our border as they pour in from South America and Mexico to reclaim land
6) Farmers will be urged to farm collectively
7) Violence and famine will follow

    Glenn its not that the media is just now beginning to cover the coming meltdown with Greece. It is that their masters are finally directing them to cover the matter; this is so that they can begin to condition the people of the US who do not want or know the truth to turn to the Feds when the war begins, the collapse happens, and the US comes under more and more danger from within and without.

    Its all propaganda derived for the consumption of the ignorant masses; may God awaken enough of us to make the difference when the time comes, our nation is on the verge of dissolution and dismemberment; if we lose this war for our freedoms, then the nation will pass into the night completely.

    If it weren’t so true, it would almost be funny. Almost.

    What’s concerning to me, is that they are finally acknowledging it. This has been happening for some time, but no one wanted to discuss the ramifications.

    Glenn was perhaps one of the few in the media who actually came out and “war gamed” the scenario.

    Now that we see these things on the precipice of becoming reality, the media is just now starting to see the implication and the reality for what it is.

    This is very similar to the media’s portrayal of the ‘Arab Spring’ in Egypt. “Oh, no” we were told when Glenn presented the Muslim Brotherhood as the group standing to gain the most with this regime change. “These Egyptians are looking to untie the noose and have true democracy.” Yeah, right.

    Every Islamic nation that gains “democracy”, willingly chooses a radical theocracy over freedom. Iran and even the recent Palestinian elections of Hamas as the dominant group speaks volumes of the mentality and understanding of true, Western-style freedom and liberty in the Middle East.

    But now that we indeed see the Muslim Brotherhood taking over Egypt, the press is mysteriously quiet.

    These 2 events and the coverage of them lead me to believe that the only plausible explanation is that the media is complicit in an agenda with something or someone to deliberately control the message. And based on recent actions, I’m not sure that I like who or what this force ultimately is, nor what it means for our standard of living and the survival of our Great Nation.

    My husband and I refuse to watch the Today Show, Good Morning America, or any of the other morning shows on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN….they are all an absolute joke.  All they ever talk about is which movie star is sleeping with someone 30 yrs younger than they are, all of the drug addiction and alcoholism in Hollywood, the latest fashions, etc.  It’s all CRAP!  My husband and I started watching Glenn Beck over two years ago, and have learned more from him than we did all through school.  Newspapers, news programs on the major stations only tell you what they want you to know.  They want to all keep us in the dark.

    Actually Glenn, MSNBC has been reporting on the Greek crisis for a while now.  Take this, for example, about the rise in suicides due to the economic troubles, written well before your December 2010 ramblings:
    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/38695457/ns/world_news-europe/t/psychiatric-group-warns-surge-greek-suicides/

    And this, about the fear of Greece’s problems contaminating the EU, again written 10 months before your bleatings:
    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35560375/ns/world_news-europe/t/clashes-greek-protests-over-budget-cuts/

    So, how about you stop with the lies?  Nobody is “catching up to Glenn on the Greek economy” or finally “starting to catch on”.  They’ve been covering it the whole time, it’s just that you choose to pretend they haven’t because it suits your agenda and no readers here will ever question you.  The only difference is that nobody other than you is drawing any delusional conclusions or proposing laugh-out-loud absurd theories about it.

    Yea but you seem to forget about the fact that Glenn was talking about this and the fact that we are headed in the same direction well before he went to Fox News!!! So get your facts straight, just because he first talked about it on Fox at those times doesn’t mean he first talked about it at that time. He warned of this before those dates when he was with CNN!!! So stop trying to validate the Liberal Media and for God sakes, where has the Liberal Media been since the dates you mentioned? They misteriously dropped it like a bad habbit!!! WHY?

    Duh, Glenn.  Economic collapse leads to wars which lead to death and famine?  It’s a thread of history and stating the obvious.  Does that take any brains or an oracle?  Glenn you are an idiot of unsavant.  If you can offer concrete and specific solutions that a majority can accept, then you will earn my respect for your supposed intellectual far-sightedness.

    glenn is such an arrogant little punk…
    if any of his cult take a little time to look into his latest lie you will find that the media has been covering this story for months…
    unlike glenn, the real media needs to find facts to support their stories, so his latest attack again falls on deaf ears…
    does glenn think we forgot hill bullsh** claim about being the “first and only person” to report the Israeli flotilla attacks, even though the exact same footage and story was told by every major media outlet had already shown their stories…
    glenn doesn’t care about these lie though…
    he is depending on the “shock factor” of his bogus claims and his faith that his becklings will believe every lie that comes out of his mouth.

    Till the people of Greece realize that it IS the taxpayers fault in Greece then they will not improve.  The taxpayers are the ones who settled for that type of system and allowed their representatives to encourage them living the life on someone else’s dime. Ultimately the responsibility falls on each individaul.  They are not a helpless society.  Welcome to the beginning of Chaos.

    The classic line from that clip is “they lived well and worked little on borrowed money.”  Matt was reporting on the country’s “optimism” while Keith Miller was the one telling the truth.  Matt is feeding us the B*!! S!*! so he can keep his job.  If WE don’t work who will?  If WE don’t grow the food, repair the roads, build the schools, etc. then who will?  The government?  And where does the government get any money?  Other governments?  Not if WE are all broke!  So many people forget that WE are the government!!  “Ask not what your country can do for you!  Ask what you can do for your country!” cause well, boneheads, YOU are your “COUNTRY”!  YOU are your GOVERNMENT!   Start governing yourselves the higher ups won’t have to do it for US, won’t have to take away our money to do so, etc.  POWER TO THE PEOPLE, THE INDIVIDUAL who is more capable of taking care of himself then a committee.  Then, when you have enough and to spare, take care of the individual who is unable to take care of himself because he physically cannot work (the elderly, the disable) not be forced to take care of the ones who refuse to work.

    The solution?  Work!  Pay your own way in this life and quite asking the government to take care of you!!  For those who can not work, I’m personally willing to help.  But for the rest of them just demanding an easy life without effort?  Good luck too ya!

    How do we implement this policy when roughly 50% are not willing to go along with your suggestion? Even if you could win the presidency the senate and house, it is unlikely you could get it passed with 60% approval from the senate. If you could manage it, the liberal courts will step in and slap it down. To try to reform the system would require more time than we have….The ball is back in your court.

    Just for you little man:

    For today, and every day you post here, I will post your lies on every comment you make on this site…. Your hate and ignorance is not winning any converts here. You’re the butt of jokes and ridicule.Please see a professional about your fixation on little children strtlk/mtclayboy.You’ve been caught in your lies and have no credibility here. You’re a Wikipedia sailor and a lying puke.

    1. As mtclayboy you claimed that you served on a BOOMER. As strtlk you claimed not to know what a Boomer or a SSBN was “I don’t care” were your exact words. You also stated that you didn’t know where Bangor, Wa. was which is where Boomers (submarines) are fitted for duty.Any real Submariner would know that. You didn’t!

    2. You then changed your story and claimed that you were on a BOOMER. You lied.

    3. As mtclayboy you claimed that you had damaged your ears while serving on a Submarine. As strtlk, you claimed that you damaged your ears while serving on a submarine.

    4. As mtclayboy you claimed that you joined the Navy and served for five years on a submarine but according to the timeline you gave that was proven to be a lie. You lied.

    5. As mtclayboy you said that you were a Fireman. As strtlk, you claimed you were a Fireman.

    6. As mtclayboy and as strtlk, you posted the same bigotry and hate against Glenn Beck almost word for word even using the same spelling and grammatical errors and focusing on the children. I’ve posted many of them here already.

    Are you catching on everyone? He’s a liar plain and simple and nothing he claims can be believed.

    The classic line is “lived well and worked little on borrowed money,” Yet Matt was reporting on the “optimism” of the country’s leaders while it was Keith Miller who was reporting the truth.  The solution to our problems is WORK!  Who’s going to take care of us if WE don’t?  Whose going to grow the food, repair roads, build homes is WE don’t?  The Government?  And where is the “Government” going to get the money/resources to do it all?  Other Governments?  Not if WE are all broke!  What so many people forget is that WE are the “Government”!  “Ask not what your country can do for, ASK what YOU can do for your country!” from a conservative Democrat.  ‘Cause, well, Boneheads, YOU are your COUNTRY!  YOU are your “Government”!  POWER TO THE PEOPLE, the INDIVIDUAL who can take better care of himself than can a committee.  Take care of your stuff, and the higher ups, the “Government” won’t have to.  Then when you have enough and to spare, take care of those who can’t physically work (the elderly, the disabled, etc.) not be forced to take care of those who refuse to work.  Along the way we’ll make some bonehead mistakes cause we’re human, but don’t forget that the “Government” and the “Well educated higher ups” are HUMAN too!  There will always be the constant war of the “Naturally Selfish” and the “Naturally Kind” is US all, especially in “Governments”.

    WAKE UP!

    This is the European Union’s first victim. Yes. I said victim. Greece existed before the European Union. Greece existed before the Euro. It may not have been a wealthy nation, but it was a nation that was independent after hundreds of years under the thumb of the Ottoman Turks.

    Greece was duped into becoming part of the European Union, just as Portugal and all the other nations of Europe that piled in. What do you all think happened to their wealth? Do you think they just lived off credit cards that whole time?

    This is part of the plan of global enslavement. A plan was sold to Europe, telling them that it would bring unity and strength and that they’d all be better off. Time goes on and it’s obvious that is not the case. Now, debt has piled up in all these nations. Debt to who? Who are the creditors and what are they demanding as payment?

    What are the demands Greece is facing? On the surface, anyone with common sense can see that Greece has lived beyond its means and that its creditors deserve to be paid. Greece’s creditors deserve to levy conditions on Greece for the money owed… But what does it mean?

    An entire nation is being put into servitude and we’re saying, “Yeah! They deserve it!”?

    This is insidious people! This isn’t right. You don’t enslave people for credit issues. If Greece’s creditors had enough money to lend Greece this much rope to hang itself with, then are we to believe that they didn’t know Greece couldn’t pay off this debt? THEY KNEW! This is planned, and Greece is being felled like a lamb to the slaughter.

    “Sell the capitalists enough rope and they will hang themselves!” – Vladimir Lenin

    For God’s sake, don’t cheer or encourage the enslavement of an entire nation to collectivism!

    The Greeks can only blame their gov. for so much, the real blame really is on the heads on the people. They are the ones that voted in the extreme left wing gov. that promised all this eutopia that the people wanted.  They are the ones that wanted the big gov pay checks, they wanted the big unions, they wanted the special interest groups  example: Hair salons have to pay danger pay to people using siccors.
    The Greeks are the ones that voted in the global warming nuts into their gov. Save the world, shut down the factories, huge pollution taxes, special carbon taxes. All job killers.
    So how can they posssibly fix anything with the companies gone, high taxes still inaffect. No companies are coming back?   This isn’t going to collapse it’s already happened, the writing is on the wall, the real broker is Germany, how much more will the German people allow.
    I think German is going to say to Greece, take that flag down and put this one up, WE OWN YOU.

    It’s always easy to dismiss someone when your a liberal and wrong. You have to bring up “mental issues” and demean vets by using the leftist crap like “war stress”.

    My post was about personal knowledge of what’s been going on in Greece going way back and from actual Greeks. What’s happening now has been expected to happen for 4 decades.

    So facts and actual knowledge of the situation is drivel to you, I’m not really surprised at that comment. It’s on display when you post your ignorance.

    If you were born in the 50′s and were as smart as you keep telling yourself that you are then you should have seen it coming also. the fact that you didn’t makes me wonder if all your other nonsense is just that, nonsense.

    Glenn’s been right on MANY, MANY things. Wake up. The problem is that the media doesn’t watch his show; they make fun of his sincerity, his appreciation for our founders and for our U.S. Constitution; and they don’t appreciate the self-educated. (Note: Famous self-education are George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, Charles Dickens, George Bernard Shaw, Peter Jennings; Walter Cronkite had 2 years of college then dropped out). Liberals and the media are too arrogant to have open, inquiring minds. Glenn’s audience doesn’t want to hear ideology–we just want to hear the truth.

    So let me see if I have this right.  Beck went to CNN in Jan 2006 and you say he was talking about the Greek debt crisis way before then, let’s say 2003/4, even though the debt crisis began in 2008 and Greece had one of the EU’s strongest economies back in 2003/4.  Wow.  Reality is not exactly your strong suit, is it?

  • Anonymous

    Two simple facts for you: (i) the article itself says “For MONTHS Glenn has…”.  So take issue with Glenn’s writers about the length of time blah blah, not me (ii) Glenn contends that the liberal media didn’t catch on to the Greek crisis until now. I posted links which categorically prove this to be false and nothing more than his usual fabrications.  So, please point out to me where I have lied.  Seriously, refute what I said with facts (and note: your usual trick of stating something is a “FACT” (in caps) without ever posting a source or link doesn’t actually make it a fact. You do know that, right?)

    Uhm, it seems reality is not exactly YOUR strong point.  Greece had one of the EU’s strongest economies back in 2003/4?  That statement alone shows how stupid you are.  Greece NEVER once had one of the EU’s strongest economies for one, and Beck was talking about the debt crisis BEFORE it began.  You might actually try a dose of reality for once there, son.

    Nope.  What makes what I said facts is the fact that EVERYTHING I have said thus far can actually be backed up by actual documented evidence.  You do know that, right, or are you just too stupid to actually look into documented evidence?  So far, you have categorically proved NOTHING but how much of an outright liar you are.  Good job, liberal nut.  I don’t take issue with Glenn’s writers.  Since Beck has actually been talking about the crisis for years, he HAS been talking about it for months.  I take issue with you because you claim the liberal media beat him to it, which is disproven by reality itself.  Beck has been talking about the crisis YEARS before the liberal media even picked up on it.  Documented FACT there, son.  Might do you well to quit being an idiot and look into it.

    Greece never had a strong economy?  You make this so easy:

    “Greece’s GDP growth has also, as an average, since the early 1990s been higher than the EU average.”
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Greece

    There are literally thousands of resources out there for you to go and explore.   Can you post some evidence (not your usual vacuous statement in capital letters of “FACTS”) that the economy of Greece was never strong?  Might be difficult in light of the very real facts I just shoved down your ignorant throat.  Links and sources, please pussycat.

    Nice try, but your ambition far outweighs your intelligence. The article isn’t quite the smoking gun that you ignorantly assume it is. Can you point out how a government mis-stating its deficit proves that the entire economy was poor? It had 15 years of successive positive growth and only entered a recession in 2009. Tourism and shipping flourished, being amongst the most successful in the world. Facts, damn facts. Always bumping up against them aren’t you pussycat? Feel free to come and join us in the real world any time darling.

    And because you seem to continually completely miss the point, let me spell it out for you again. My post was about Beck’s claim that no other media had reported the Greek crisis until recently – and I thoroughly debunked that, which you seem to keep ignoring. This is not a post about when Beck did or didn’t start talking about Greece, just about his BS that the liberal media have been ignoring it until now. And when I post links to liberal news sites talking about this exact issue up to four years ago, it’s pretty hard to refute that. Are you keeping up? So, again, where did I lie? And when you say I “haven’t brought any evidence to the table yourself”, are you serious? Can you actually read? Can you see the numerous links in my original post? What drugs are you on? Seriously, case closed my friend. Or are you really that stupid? BTW, continuing to use capitals to proclaim that something completely unsubstantiated that you spew out is a “FACT” doesn’t actually make it a fact. Are you really that deluded?

    So, let me get this straight.  The article proves you totally wrong outright, and than you come in with more lies?  Good to know.  News flash.  The article flat out stated that Greece outright LIED about its supposed strength in order to join the EU.  As you said, who cares about facts, eh?  Obviously, you do NOT.  Otherwise, you would know better than outright lie about them.  It’s years of growth, as shown in that very article, were a LIE.  As you say, “Facts, damn facts.”  It’s too bad that the actual facts, as shown by just that one article, prove you WRONG and prove you an outright LIAR.  It’s too bad you do NOT have a single fact that actually backs you up.  Nice try on your part.  But lies don’t cut it, idiot.

    There are many things that can be done. If people in this country will repent and turn back to God this country can return to righteousness. The Untied States of America was founded by bible believing Christians that based the Constitution on biblical truths. Our Constitution has been trampled on by our courts. We have let liberal presidents put leftest judges in our courts that over rule the laws of the land. We have elected godless people to high places in government who have turned themselves into royalty instead of public servants. Although Glen is very good at reading the signs of the times he needs to realize that this country is here because of the grace of God. That means the unmerited, unearned favor of God. When it looked like we would be defeated during the civil war, WWI and WWII people repented, turned to God and prayed. Just as with ancient Israel, the Lord will turn things around when we repent and pray. We have lived in a blessed land that other countries of the world have not had the pleasure of enjoying. It is not owed to us though. The blessings of the Lord are plentiful but they are here because of people who devoted their lives to Godly principles. Wake up people before it is too late. There are many who want to reap the wealth of this nation and turn you into slaves of the government.

    I have been the ONLY one to remain on point here. ALL you’ve done is outright lie. Maybe I should make it clearer for you since you are just too stupid to understand. Pay attention here, son. You might actually learn something.

    You debunked NOTHING. All you did was provide a few sources from 2010, which isn’t 4 years ago by the way. Not even that seeing as about 90% of your sources came from the last couple months of 2010. A couple even came from as late as August to December of 2011. News flash. Beck’s been in the game since at least 2005 and longer. The liberal media HAVE been ignoring it until now. That is actually a DOCUMENTED fact. A few articles from 2010 and 2011, lol, mean NOTHING idiot.

    It seems you are the deluded one here. Also, what do you mean by unsubstantiated, ignoramus? If it wasn’t unsubstantiated, I would NEVER make a claim. However, EVERYTHING I have stated has been substantiated over and over and over again. The ONLY one making unsubstantiated claims here is YOU. Anyway, you’re right on one thing. The case is close. You proved how stupid you are. You proved yourself to be an outright liar. You proved yourself that you have reading comprehension problems. The case is closed because you proved yourself to be NOTHING but a COMPLETE and UTTER moron who has a problem with documented facts. Good job proving your idiocy.

    Yes, talk about not dealing well with the facts. You just proved you can’t. The article states flat out that Greece LIED about its so called successful years just to join the EU.

You really do have a problem with facts, don’t you?

  • Anonymous

    One more time for the slow kid down the back. Talk about arguing with an idiot:

    1. Beck (and now you) claim the media have been ignoring Greece until now and some other guy claims that the media dropped it in 2010 after it all began.

    2. I posted numerous links to articles showing that it was reported constantly throughout 2010 as well as an article from 2008 (er, 4 years ago) and from 2004 as examples to show that this has been on the radar of the media for way longer than Beck would have you believe. In fact, YOU EVEN USED the 2004 article in a pathetic and failed attempt to show me as a liar.

    3. If you dare to look beyond GB and Fox for your “information”, you might find a few things that surprise you. For example, here are just a few more links (i.e. documented proof) that categorically show the media to have been reporting on Greece and not ignoring it until now, as you claim:
    http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/14/world/europe/14greece.html?ref=greece (Feb 2008)

    http://www.economist.com/node/13061722 (Feb 2009)

    http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/the-big-question-how-serious-is-the-political-unrest-on-the-continent-and-can-it-be-calmed-1520356.html?origin=internalSearch (Jan 2009)

    4. This is NOT about how long Beck has been reporting on this issue (although it’s a convenient deflection for you to run away from the above facts). It’s about proving that the media has been reporting on the Greek economy before now, as the above links clearly show to be the case.

    Once again, if it is a “DOCUMENTED FACT” (your words) that the liberal media have been ignoring it, how come there are so many articles that comprehensively prove you wrong?

    P.s. I really can’t make this case any simpler, but it still wouldn’t surprise me if your basic level of intelligence isn’t even capable of processing any of this.
    P.P.S. virtually all of your posts talk about “documented” facts and “substantiated” claims, but thoroughly fail to provide any evidence whatsoever other than you repeating the same thing IN CAPITALS. That doesn’t make it true – you need to show sources for all your garbage. As much as I disagree with him, at least your mate Scheller does this. Anything – a website, a citation. Just something which independently verifies what you are saying.

    P.P.P.S. you say “If it wasn’t unsubstantiated, I would NEVER make a claim.” Read that a few times and follow the logic – it says the opposite of what you probably intended, but your brain wasn’t powerful enough to catch on. You are admitting that the claims you make are unsubstantiated. Think about it. Then try again. Unless that’s what you actually meant..?

  • Anonymous

    In your mind, where misconception after misconception are fighting to get out first, the article said that. It said nothing of the sort. The article focusses on the fact that the government lied about its debt level, nothing more. The article doesn’t even so much as imply that 15 years of positive economic growth is a lie, nor does it even refer to the wider private sector.

    And for the last time, the article is not about Greece joining the EU (which happened in 1981) as you continue to incorrectly state. It is about Greece joining the EURO. Stop your mistakes. In your mind I bet they are the same thing, which shows what an ignoramus you are about the rest of the world outside your basement.

    2. You posted sources from the second half of 2010 and JUST one from 2008. News flash. Sources from 2010 prove that the media has been ignoring Greece. Beck has been at it since BEFORE 2005 and earlier.

    Also, it is EXACTLY how long Beck has been reporting the issue. It is YOU who claimed the liberal media got to it first when they did NOT. NO articles comprehensively prove me wrong. The very fact that your articles are as recent as 2010 actually prove me RIGHT, you know. Please, you need to actually get older articles in this case to actually prove your case, you know.

    Now, I’ll skip the rest of your remark since it probably need not be mentioned further and go straight to your idiotic P.P.P.S. In actuality, the logic of that statement states that the claims I make are NOT unsubstantiated. The claims I make ARE substantiated. Okay, now you just proved that you lack a simple understanding of logic. Good job.

    My mistakes? Sorry, son, the mistake is yours. The article states flat out in black and white that Greece lied about its supposedly successful economy. Heck, they based the title of the article on it. That’s not just my mind. That comes STRAIGHT FROM the actual article. Man, facts really do get in the way with you, you know.

    “If it wasn’t unsubstantiated, I would NEVER make a claim.”
    So, let’s take a look at this. If something isn’t unsubstantiated, then it’s substantiated. Keeping up so far? The above statement then becomes, “If it’s substantiated, I wouldn’t make the claim.” In fact, I assume this is the exact opposite of what you intended to say. However, I can see this is a simple case of your excitement outstripping your ability to reason.

    Nope. It’s merely a simple case of your ignorance regarding actual logic. Seriously, how much more of a fool do you need to prove yourself to be. I would NEVER make an unsubstantiated claim, period. Nice of you to turn it around, though. You might want to learn about logic, son.

    So you stand by what you said? I’m giving you a chance to put down the stupid hat for once. Go on, try and think your way through it. You’ve made a laughably stupid error in what you said originally.

    No, I did NOT. Though, you keep saying I did. News flash. No matter how many times you say I made a laughably stupid error won’t make it any more than a lie from you.

    We have much to thank you for Glenn, the only commentator who tells it like it is and you have been dead on with your predictions.

    The problem with socialism is, as Mrs. Thatcher says, that eventually you run out of other people’s money,
