Nope, I think you try very hard but since you don't listen to the man you remain in your state of liberal ignorance about what he says. I hardly think he is worried about how many listeners he has. He knows that soon Oprah will be gone and they are the two most watched personalities at that time of day. I wonder how many people will just give him a chance once she is gone. Ain't that scary to people like you?

Some of them would have been ok but they had too much just plain Pelosi as truth that I just couldn't throw at kids, no matter what.

As Beck says, "Parents do you know what is being taught to your children?" Do you know what is being taught to your kids? I am sure that you like it much better than I would.
The Glenn Becks of the day 25 yrs ago preached the same "commie under every bed" horror stories as today.

Last year this time Beck was trying to convince us that Obama was building a network of concentration camps in US. What happend?

It is true that such propaganda is more "in your face" than ever before, and people seem somewhat more gullible, but it was alive and well 25 years ago too. Even in the 60s they talked about the commies infiltrating the collages.

Beck talked about the fact that so many today say that education is a right and it just isn't laid out in your quotation as a right. Read it all again and get back to me.
Beck is dealing with it on the Federal level, but its a state issue. The California constitution clearly states that the state is obligated to provide an education. The people in California expect the state to fulfill that obligation. I would bet most states have similar provisions. So there is a states right to an Education. So Beck can rant all he wants about the fact that Federal Constitution doesn't provide for a right to an education. He is looking in the wrong place.

So in conservative areas, who runs the schools? Liberals? Are they surreptioulsy sneaking in? Or do they just swagger right into to town, with a copy of Das Kapital in one hand and a Starbucks coffee in the other, like a new Marshal?

Help me out here.

I'm thinking those commies from the 60's are the problem. I'm was a rebel in the 70's and I'm back. I will research like I have been and preach it til our country is on safe ground again. Glenn Beck is an asset to the people--he brings out information and you research and find the truth. The truth is our country is in serious trouble and it's up to the people to get it straightened out since our fed. gov. is a waste of money and time. Thats the truth!!

As a non-watcher of Glenn Beck how can you say anything he talked about a year ago? Who do you get all those great words from anyway?
