LETTER OF THE DAY
"Listening to you and Beck discuss the endangered health of our nation was like observing a medical conference. Dr. O'Reilly acknowledged the symptoms; Dr. beck addressed the causes."

FINANCIAL CON?
Americans are getting hoses as health insurance premiums rise. Are insurance companies driving up premiums to stockpile profits before Obama-care kicks in?
"While my health insurance premiums went up only a couple hundred, my benefits were slashed. I'm not getting anything out of Obama-care, but I'm still paying the price."
Joshua Hanover
New York, NY
"The next thing individuals and employers are going to do is drop insurance and opt to pay the fine instead. Get ready for a chain reaction."
Becky Forest
Knob Noster, MO
"Insurance rates have been skyrocketing, causing more people to go without medical insurance. Maybe the hope is there will be more people to support national health care."
John Deahl
Mechanicsville, IA
"The health insurance companies will be out of business in four years. They would be crazy not to make a profit while they can."
Gregg Jones
Colorado Springs, CO
"Stop bashing the health insurance companies. You know that the executive pay packages don't cause premiums to go up."
Renju Ramachandran
Farmington, CT
"Adult 20-somethings are among the healthiest group of Americans. Their premiums will be almost pure profit. Insurance companies must love the provision that says parents can insure them longer."
Philip Cenci
Staten Island, NY
"Obama knows insurance costs are going up. He's opening the door down the road to demonize the insurance companies and reinstate the public option as the only viable solution to the problem."
Jonather Decker
Vienna, VA
"I won't defend the actions of some health insurance companies. However, having once worked in one, I can say that hospitals gouging the payers directly contributes to higher premiums."
Dan Clark
Port Jefferson Station, NY
"It won't be possible to keep our costs down by cutting some coverage, because the government is mandating minimum coverage for all policies."
Michael Biscuiti
North Massapequa, NY
"If only Republicans had not blocked the public option from the health care bill, the private insurance companies wouldn't be increasing premiums like they are now."
Taimur Habib
San Francisco, CA
"I'm an insurance agent and can't get a straight answer on why our family health insurance went up 28% in July. It is a giant money grab."
J. Edward Weinstein
Florissant, MO
PILOT ERROR?
An agitated passenger accuses a Delta pilot of having alcohol on his breath. After the pilot passed the alcohol test, the complaining passenger is removed from the flight, and now she's demanding an apology from Delta.
"How would Megyn Kelly like being accused of being intoxicated while on your show? Put yourself in the captain's position. This woman should be banned from all air travel."
Don Gibbs
Malvern, AR
"You couldn't pay me enough to sit next to Megyn Kelly on a flight!"
Brian Malloy
San Diego, CA
"Delta did the right thing. The passenger was very disruptive. As a former Delta captain, I would have removed her from my flight and recommended a psychiatric evaluation."
Rich Andresen
Dallas, TX
"Pilots can lose their licenses because of false accusations. When that happens, they don't just move to another airline."
Dick Larsen
San Diego, CA
"I'm an airline pilot. If there were no consequences to falsely accusing a pilot of being drunk, airplanes would never get off the ground."
Rick Gosselin
Weston, FL
CALLING ALL CULTURE WARS!
Glenn Beck explains why he avoids topics like gay marriage and abortion, while focusing on big picture political issues.
"I appreciate that Mr. Beck avoids the culture wars. This is just one more thing that separates him from the rest of the commentary programs."
Ralph Duddles
Petersburg, AK
"If Glenn Beck thinks going to church would solve America's problems, he's a pinhead! You can't pray away problems like illegal immigration, a bad economy, and so on."
Matt Obbema
Corona, CA
"Glenn Beck is mistaken if he believes our growing moral depravity is not our main problem. It's at the center of everything."
Kent Veazey
Lake Charles, LA
"Glenn is doing a good job of exposing the left's efforts at undermining America's foundations. In this culture war, he has your back."
Phil Williams
Estacada, OR
"Beck is right. This country was founded with religion as a cornerstone, yet we've strayed too far from it. As a country, we need to get closer to God."
Antonio Vigil
Litchfield Park, AZ
"Devoid of faith in a God who has spoken, a person's views on culture war issues like abortion and gay marriage are simply opinions."
Dave Hills
Elkhart, IN
"I'm glad Glenn Beck avoids issues like gay marriage and abortion. So many conservatives are preoccupied with those issues, but we have bigger problems that impact all Americans."
Joyce Goetz
Thousand Oaks, CA
"The culture war has turned into a clash between those who wish to save our country and those who are pursuing ideology that will bring her to her knees."
Dede Coulter
Desert Hot Springs, CA
"Without strong faith, Commandments, and the teaching of right vs. wrong, it is easy to deceive people into believing that something that is morally wrong can be legally right."
Joan Dantin
Metairie, LA
"I heard you have a major sweet tooth, Bill. If you and Beck bring the Bold Fresh tour to Nashville, I'll make you a cheesecake of your choice."
