I know who originated them and what their purpose was but wonder if anyone else here knows. One could learn so much about things like this if they just took the time and energy to watch Glenn Beck expose progressive after progressive. He did a great job of it today.

Now back to those 4 minutemen. Who were they and who did they work for. I had forgotten them until Beck talked about them today.

I'm currently watching yesterdays show, where MLK's niece is telling Beck that he has an obligation to continue to speak out. That hatemonger!

Here comes our daily Glenn Beck advertising.

All it takes is 4 minutes to realize how to stupid Beck is.

You mean the sane people? Sanity doesn't discriminate along political lines, but it certainly passed over the head of the OP.

The minutemen...progressives...Glenn Beck...LMAO!

Let's play the six degrees of Kevin Bacon, instead. Much more fun...and sane.

Is this OP a Trojan horse Glenn Beck advertisement?

Did I just get Glenn-rolled?

75,000 voices carrying a single message. An organization who played an important part in unifying the people behind the Governments war effort.The men could reach an audience almost as large as that claimed by our modern network broadcasts. More than that, although, 75,000 voices were used they carried but a single message.
I am a four-minute man
I am the mouthpiece for democracy
I make men Think
I weld the most potent power of human endeavor- the spoken word
The blind do not read-the ignorant cannot read-the dullard will not read all men must harken my message
My appealis universal- elemental- primitive
Today, My appeal is more compelling-more potant- more universal than ever
I am a stoker for the great melting pot. In four minutes i breathe the flame of true American Patriotism to people of all kinds and creeds
I am a teacher I set forth in 240 seconds, lessons in loyalty, duty, thrift, conservation, co-operation
I am a preacher. U sing text that all men are equal, I invoke loyalty patriotism devotion
I am a doctor I give four minute treatments for disloyalty un- Americanism,selfishness laziness I eradicate listlessness and instill pep and enthusiasm
I am a lawyer Before a jury of all races and creeds I indict old world standards of caste, class distiction privileges and false pride
I am an optimist I have faith in the triumph of truth and right over might and brute force
I am a lover I love the stars and stripes I love to think this nation under god is having a new birth of freedom and that government of the people by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.
I pretty much just covered the highlights of this composition which was composed by Fred a Wirth, One of the four minute men from chicago in 1919.
