I wonder.......

If you were waken up at night by a knock on your door, the fellow saying:

'Your house is on fire!'

Would you believe him or simply slam the door and go back to bed?

Would you begin to question his religion, how his dead mother met her end, make fun of the shoes he wears or ask where he works? Should those things even matter?

Or would you thank him, close the door and investigate for yourself?

No but if he woke me up and said that my house was on fire and the commies did it and that they are in the bushes in the shadows. You just can't see them. I would probably believe that he did or that he was simply crazy. Either way I would detain him until the police arrived so that he could have a proper mental evaluation.

Lightbulb What do you really think about Glenn Beck?

A jackass. A chickenhawk. A substance abuser. A manipulator. He even refers to himself as a "rodeo clown."

But he knows how to trip the triggers of the folks who tune in to his sideshow. They love the daily fix of fear, anger, paranoia, and pure bullstuff. And he delivers loads of each. That's what manipulators do. And his followers love him for it.

I still wonder about that young girl he raped and murdered in 1990, though.

I love the fact that conservobots think he's a newsman. They go crazy if they can't get their daily fix of his baloney. He's so good at reinforcing their prejudices. He's their messiah.

If you did that, you'd know he isn't telling the truth!

Hippies? How old are you? Do people still use that word? I really don't know any hippies. I know a lot of liberals, but no hippies.

I've known 2 or 3 real hippies in my life. They aren't exactly around every corner, lol.
