Can you prove Beck wrong? Doubtful. Obama is a liar. He hates Ameirca, and he hates capitalism and the free market system.

Obama wants to rob entrepreneurs of their rightfully gained wealth, and give it to those who didn't earn it.

This man is dangerous to the ideas of liberty and freedom.
You made my night :-D Funny post

But, I find it humorous when the radical right starts preaching about loving "the leader," after 8 years of worshipping at George Bush's feet as if he were God incarnate. To his supporters, he could do nothing wrong, no matter how outrageous or un-Constitutional, yet if someone suggests that kind of allegiance to Barack Obama, it's suddenly a great evil. What a bunch of maroons!

And, by the way, could someone please name me ONE SINGLE President who never lied to us and delivered everything he promised?

I'll hold my breath 'till I get an answer on that.
This is a post so close to perfection. I salute you brave hero!

I have discussed his lies and provided links proving that he lies //www.city-data.com/forum/12724871-post64.html. It really wouldn't matter because to his blind followers, he can do no wrong. Again, I am talking to people who create multiple accounts online just so they can cheat in online polls to make themselves look like they are winnng at something. It is not about love of country for Glenn Beck sheep, it is about seeing Obama fail just to prove that you're right.

Glenn Beck thrives on the ignorance, fear, and hatred of his viewers. There is nothing patriotic about wanting the president to fail just to prove that you're right. Now, what can you prove that Glenn Beck is right about? I suppose he was telling the truth when he said that Obama has a "deep-seated hatred of white people" or when he made up numbers for the Tea Party rally and sited the University that he couldn't remember the name of. I suppose you can also prove that communism is a threat in the United States. I am not doubtful that you can prove it, I am positive that you can't.
I nominate THIS, as post of the day. Just reading this whole thread has still proven my point that Glenn Beck and his followers resemble nothing short of a hateful, fearful cult, where all other info is mistrusted. "Tune in to Beck!" "What he says is so important!" "He alone has the truth!" "Everyone else lies!" "The president is evil!" It's very disconcerting. Does anyone else notice this?

I'll think for myself thank you.

Another false choice loaded question from the peanut gallery. How about the president is working to do what he thinks is best for the country. Starting two wars and giving tax breaks to rich did not work. It is one year in and the Repubichairs have only been obstructionist.

Excellent question.

Do I love my Country or my President More?

Well, that would comparable to

Do you love a good, robust Pale Ale and BBQ or do you love sticking rusty nails in your eyeballs?

I will always love my country. I have not even remotely liked a President since G.H.W. Bush. And now, one can lump the Executive, Legislative and Judicial Branch into one gigantic Toolbox.

Truer words were never spoken. I also believe the Beck's hatred is so divisive that he's become a terrible influence and bad roll model for people how like to be told what to think.

You may have studied a lot of history but you should have also taken some logic and ethics courses as well. Beck's version of 'history' is severely edited and misrepresented to suit his partisan agenda. Beck, by the way, doesn't have an ethical bone in his whole body.

Today you must watch at least the first half hour of Glenn Beck. Yes, if you love your leader more than your country you won't allow yourself to do such a horrible thing. However, if you really do love this nation, as I do, you will bring yourself to watch the first two segments of the show on Glenn Beck Clips 02-02-10 The first 20 minutes of the show he plays excerpts from Obama's campaign speeches, the SOTU and some other speeches and then asks you to decide whether he is even trying to carry out those promises to us. Really I hope that some of you Beck haters can watch enough of the show to find out if he told any lies. Surely you can point them out to me.

Anybody who truly loves his country may be disappointed by the fact that just like all his shows since the middle of January, Beck didn't shed one tear or even screw up like he might. He talks seriously and will not stop trying to expose what is being done to us until THEY shut him down, and that will have to happen soon or he will be shutting them down.

Hey, PATRIOTS, if you really love your country you will lower yourselves to the point that you can see what is happening to all of us.
you may really love that kool-aid but NO ONE ELSE DOES.

I will aim these questions at you but hope that all the rest of the keep my shield up so none of that non-socialist thinking gets by it people. You have screwed yourself by failing to see Beck this week. The man has been talking about history all week and I haven't found him telling any falsehoods about what did happen at one time or another. Now surely some of you folks have heard the saying about not learning from history leads to making the same mistakes. The man is just teaching history this week. He will probably try to make people see that we are now caught in the middle of the very progressive crap that Woodrow Wilson tried to fool people with before he had his stroke.

Today Beck made so much sense about setting things up to show people that what the US did to Great Britain in the 1910 through 1916 period that weaened the strongest government in the world so we could take over is just what China is doing to us right now. Okay, Beck is stupid and a clown. He hasn't really entertained at all this week and has only spoken about our history and what we are coming to if we don't wake up to what is happening.

Let me ask all you haters one question and if any of you can answer it I think that we will have the champion googler for today.

In his campaign for the 1916 election what did Woodrow Wilson promise the people above all else? He said over and over that we would never be involved in that war in Europe. How long after his inauguration was it before he asked Congress to declare war on Germany? That is the question and now get to your googling. Good luck. When you find the answer come back at me with it, please so we can discuss it a bit.
