You have no idea what it means to be "controlled." Comparing Beck to a dictator is a slap in the face to people who have actually lived under a true dictator.

I feel the exact same way. You're not alone!
Good to know that I'm not alone!

I take solace in the fact that this forum probably draws some of the most bitter and politically narrow-minded people there are. It's probably not a true representation of how the majority of people think. If it is, we are in serious trouble.

Thankfully I'm just a visitor to this political debating stuff. I think I'll go back to posting on the Michigan forum where people seem somewhat happy and sane!

I've NEVER found anything he has said to be anything but cojent, rational, fact-based, patriotic and correct (except, perhaps, his excessive reliance on religion and belief in god, which I think is a bit much).

Well if he said it, it was certainly obvious to all it was a joke. Soros is a danger to the USA, democracy and freedom worldwide. As I understand it he has destroyed at least one country's currency.

Glenn Beck is cool and everyone needs to be watching him. We are doomed and he is warning us!

If you think the Democratic Party has been hijacked by Communist I've got some swamp land in Florida for you. Nobody in the Democratic Party has any interest in central economic planning, or nationalizing every business. It's absolutely absurd thinking like this that will eventually be the undoing of the American Conservative Movement.
