If you wanna live in a Glenn Beck world, go ahead, but don't expect the rest of us to be joining you.
No doubt. There is no way that beck doesn't have some kind of mental problem. I can't believe anyone believes his rant filled, twisted truths, terrible acting, propaganda spewing garbage.

I will give Beck the benefit of the doubt - but up to this point - he has studiously avoided the most dangerous truth about America.

The U.S. Constitution promises a republican form (not to be confused with republic).

The definition of the republican form is one in which the PEOPLE *(not citizens) are the sovereigns.

By American law, citizens, by definition, are SUBJECTS.

(Do not believe me - go read the law for your self)

I've been looking into the law, since 1989, and have yet to discover one law that violates the natural and personal liberties of the American national, free inhabitant, domiciled upon his private property within the boundaries of the United States of America.

But for those pitiful U.S. citizens / residents residing at residences, duly enrolled into national socialism, obligated to perform civic duties, on pain of punishment, and surrender a major portion of their working lives to the State, it is not looking good.

Ok, everybody here knows that I am one of the strongest supporters of Glenn Beck here and much of that comes from watching him every day and then comparing what he said with what Media Matters says he said and finding all the Pelosi in what they say.
Hey! Have YOU listened to Ed Schultz yet? Norman Goldman? Thom Hartmann?

Why not ? Afraid you'll learn something ??

I know someone who listens to Beck and comes up with the most stupid "bumper sticker" statements.....all of which I can blow out of the water.
So I don't/won't listen to someone obviously so stupid.

Many of his ideas and conclusions are stupid, but the way he can sway people is sly and manipulative. It's disturbing to watch...so I rarely do.

Beck University? You have got to be kidding me....this coming from the first quarter college drop out? What did he go home with too much chalk on his hands one night, sit down on the crapper with one of his books and have an epiphany?

It is very doubtful that the ideas and conclusions he draws, are actually what he thinks. His sole purpose, is to present ideas and conclusions that are eagerly lapped up by people who want to be afraid. It's not too different than why people watch scary movies, etc.

He is a recovering alcoholic and believes what he says.
He thinks about certain things much more than we do and could be right which makes him think about it some more. He wants to tell people what he believes to be true. The more evidence he finds, the more he believes and that makes him think some more which makes him search for more evidence.
He is not a phoney, you may not like him or want to know what he believes to be true but if he has the money to open a school then he should because he has turned something bad into something that he believes in.

I liked it when we jailed Marxist and Communist for life.

We should bring that back, with the option of deporting to North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, or China, but not Hong Kong, it is too capitalist for them to handle.

The truth will set you free.

You have yet to determine for yourself, what is truth and what is propaganda.
