Yes, I've been worried about it for awhile.

The worst part is that when it does happen, or happens more than once, there will be a strong knee jerk reaction (the only kind America seems to have) and there will be a call to do something, which will probably lead to some kind of censorship because people can't censor themselves anymore. And we will have nobody to blame but ourselves for encourage these kinds of things and calling it "free speech".

A mix of scary and pathetic as usual.
What makes you think "he was told to go on and say this"?

I hate to say it (not really) but this is so typical. Why don't you listen to Glenn Beck yourself? Then you won't have to make any guesses about anything he said, and you would know that the OP was getting his info from someplace other than the original source: The Glenn Beck Show.

Thomas Jefferson:

If the American people ever allow private banks
to control the issue of their money,
first by inflation and then by deflation,
the banks and corporations that will
grow up around them (around the banks),
will deprive the people of their property
until their children will wake up homeless
on the continent their fathers conquered."


The whole point of the 1st and 2nd amendments were to provide the people with a way to take
back a government gone amok.

Who is to say the government is running amok? That is strictly a matter of opinion.

So you are advocating the violent overthrow of the elected government?

I see nothing about the government in that quote. But I DO see a lot about "private" banks and corporations. And about Jefferson: God bless him, he was a great thinker and I admire him a lot. But just because he was a founding father doesn't make him right on everything. I prefer reading the founding fathers who supported "electoral revolutions" not armed ones.

I'm thinking that Nancy Genovese is behind this.

I started a thread on this the other day but nobody responded:

Beck must know the mentality of his listenership quite well.

The right wing is ready to go. All they need are the commands from their commanders.
