Glenn Beck program today and tomorrow are about Obama

[T. Damon]

Its hilarious to see how a blatant pandering entertainer (Beck doesn't believe in half the things he spouts off and admits it readily) so easily transfixes a population of idiots with a few inane chalkboard graphs, historic photo montages, dramatic pauses and histrionic crying jags to follow him like lambs.

Steven Colbert should have such a following of believers except his audience is smart and sophisticated enough to know a joke when they see it. Beck Nation is like Trekkies, a lot of outcasts taking sometimes clever fictional entertainment as a New World Reality.

I guess we could just refer to our founding fathers as pre-Marxists.

John Adams had people imprisoned for exercising their right to free speech. Some founders owned slaves. The fact that the founders engaged in immoral behavior doesn’t justify immoral behavior.

The founder’s actions were not important compared to the immutable principles of liberty FreedomBook (http://www.peacefreedomprosperity.org/blog/2009/07/25/the-philosophy-of-liberty-self-ownership/ - broken link)

So you are against all forms of government, except maybe one that is voluntarily paid for with voluntary donations.

I would say that is on the far fringe of political thought, particularly in the United States.

Good luck getting anyone to go along with that.

Now you're just making ridiculous leaps.
