I know that almost everybody here loves his country. However, I think that some here love their President more than they do their country. Those who feel that way will completely avoid what I now say as will many of those who really do love our country as much as I do.

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.

I can't think of any president I HAVE liked.

I love my country--or at least my small specific portion of it--but hate my government.

I would encourage you to turn off all matters of television related to political and historical research, and conduct your own examination in your local public library, or private book store.

Scholarship, responsibility and strength can be derived in much greater and clearer quantities than in the hourly segment-based television shows that we, as a society, and a community of thinkers, are exposed to on a daily basis.

My challenge to you is, if you love your country more than your President -- if you love your country at all, and feel some sense of duty, don't let Glenn Beck or Keith Olbermann or any pundit do the work for you. Get out there and do it yourself.

You'll be amazed at the growth you can experience in that way.

I'm convinced that you love Beck more than either your country or the president....

I love my country but I believe that Glenn Beck's hatred toward the president is much stonger than his love for the country.

I love my country. One of the many great things about this country is the freedom to not watch an idiot like Glen Beck.

Same here. I can't believe people take the words of an ENTERTAINER (because yes, that's all Beck is) to heart.

You might as well listen to Britney Spears' take on politics.
