He's on the inflation kick today. Still selling that over priced gold, I guess. He is making sure when conversing around the Thanksgiving table, don't mention his name when you warn them of the inflation problem. Beck apparently recognizes, only a select few people, can accept what he says as truth.

Beck would have us believe inflation is something new. He wants you to be the Debbie Downer
at Thanksgiving dinner.....as long as you don't tell your family that Glenn Beck told you!

What do you really think about Glenn Beck?

Just like in college, I didn't like - or believe - all of my professors, so I listened and did my homework. I don't think about Glenn Beck, I listen and take what I can use. Same with the weatherman.

I am very sure Glenn Beck has enough money. His cause is greater than money because he had enough of that a long time ago.
Besides, even if it WAS for money?
What's wrong with that?
Everybody works to earn money, why is he any different than anybody else?
I'm sure at the end of the week you cash your paycheck, does that make you bad?

He was OK tonight. Getting past the sermonizing made it a little tedious, but his intentions were good, in that he was expressing some Thanksgiving Human compassion.

Whoops, I spoke too soon. Now it's blasting the TSA for security measures. Apparently we are giving up our rights and there is a plot under the surface of that. Can't go too long without the fear angle.

What do I really think about GB?

Here're the facts GB will not divulge on air:
1. You've lived most of your life under a State of Emergency. (1933-2010)
2. You've witnessed the bankruptcy of the Federal government, or its aftermath. (1933)
3. You've been swindled into surrendering your birthright and endowment of your Creator, in exchange for charity from the public treasury - that you had to pay yourself, or charge to your children's children. (see: FICA)
4. Since 1933, no dollars have circulated. (No, "dollar bills" are not dollars - read the law, please!) (Title 12 USC Sec. 411)
5. By law, no one has "paid debt" and are presumed bankrupts. (In the Federal bankruptcy code, the term "bankrupt" was replaced with "debtor". Have you signed any "creditor / debtor agreements" recently?)
6. The national debt (or public debt) in excess of 13 trillion dollars, is not payable with dollar bills (which are debt, themselves - and a minus value). And that debt represents an obligation to stamp roughly 650 billion ounces of gold into coin. Problem? World wide supply (est. 2009) is only 5.3 billion ounces. Fort Knox depository allegedly holds 147.4 million ounces of gold bullion.
7. This impossible to repay debt CANNOT be questioned, BY LAW. (see: 14th amendment, section 4).
8. And you have volunteered to underwrite this fraud, by "voluntary" enrollment and participation in Socialist InSecurity and other programs. (Plus you've committed fraud if you claim to have earned or spent "dollars".)

So is he really informing the audience or disinforming them?

Question: Overall, do you think that he is a positive force in this country or a negative one?


Correction: as one astute poster pointed out, I should have included a fifth option:

5) a shrewd businessman exploiting a niche market in American gullibility.


I'll try to be more thorough next time. My apologies.
Nah I still think it's batsh*t. Shrewd wouldn't kill it's host. His money, along with every one of these looney tunes in power struggles shredding the constitution to pieces for some silver coins... that story doesn't end well.

LOL!! Yes excellent point. The great thing about people who proclaim that they believe in "spreading the wealth around" is that there is absolutely nothing stopping them from spreading THEIR PERSONAL wealth around! The problem starts when those same ppl now want to spread SOMEONE ELSE's wealth around! That decision should be up to me and be between me and God. I don't want any slimey morally challenged politicians "preaching" to me that I need to pay more taxes so THEY can spread my wealth around for me. I'll do it myself!
