NBC's Gregory: Are Americans Really 'Better Off' with 'Freedom'?
NewsBusters ^ | 6/13/11 | Kyle Drennen

While grilling former Pennsylvania Senator and presidential hopeful Rick Santorum on NBC's Sunday Meet the Press, host David Gregory was skeptical of the idea that Americans should be able to choose their own health care plan: "They're better off with the freedom that they've got in the vagaries of the private insurance market?" Gregory was responding to Santorum's criticism of ObamaCare: "[Obama] doesn't believe Americans can actually make decisions for themselves, that he has to tell you how much money you're going to, you're going to spend on health care."

If you ever want to know the Government’s view, then just watch NBC news and CNBC news. Just look at the side they take and you will know the Government’s position.

I’ve got one question for clowns like this: With all the comfort, security, etc., why did you move out of your parent’s home?

Not surprising coming from a liberal like Gregory who is married to the former executive vice president of Fannie Mae. One thing interesting is that these folks aren’t even bothering to hide their ideology any longer. It’s becoming quite easy to see who’s who these days.

Does Gregory want to give up his freedom or does he just think we not so elite should give up ours?

Good one!

To which I might add that there are no really private insurance plans out there.

Just as one example, the wino and drug rehab lobby has forced every insurance seller in Pennsylvania to include full substance abuse coverage in health policies even for companies such as ours which require drug tests to get and keep your jobs here. Our manufacturing involves heavy machinery which is not only very expensive but downright dangerous if operated by a wino or druggie.

We don't want them. We don't hire them. But we still have to pay for them.

He’s being honest in saying the left wants us in chains. When they come right out and admit that what they are offering is slavery, we win.

Gregory’s view is not unlike that of the Pony Tail Guy from the ‘92 campaign that Rush is always pointing out to us.

“We are your children. What is Big Daddy Government going to do to take care of his children?”

We do have state controlled TV - ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS. And we have state controlled radio - NPR or National People’s Radio. The state sanctioned stations don’t get any of my attention.

With an attitude like that Gregory would be better off working for a government controlled press.

Oh? He does? Never mind.
