    Lloyd Drako, I know that you are probably correct about Beck, but what I find offensive about his method of operation goes back to the clips about Jeremiah Wright, this man, whether you like liberation theology or not, had his entire life as a man of the church , boiled down for for criticism into some outlandish cartoon that is supposed to give a fair representation of this mans character? Anyone who has sat in the benches of any faith has undoubtedly heard a fiery speech, probably a few of them, and any preacher worth his salt says what is on his heart regardless of it being PC. When Wright said that crap about “******* America” he spoke of the inevitability of some damn fool terrorist hitting us hard for being over involved in the middle east where we TRULY would be better off if we wrote that sh#thole off forever. Anyway , Beck may disagree with people thats great, but to paint them as not loving their country and somehow beind subversives because that may somehow soil Obama due to his already progressive leanings, is in my OPINION, disingenuous at best.

      There’s no debating what you say about Jeremiah Wright, though I’ve always thought that Obama probably paid little attention while Wright was preaching. He claims to have been led to a spiritual awakening but thank heaven doesn’t salt his speeches with Biblical stuff (”wonder-working power”) like Bush did, so it maybe didn’t take.

      On Wright, though: he isn‘t the only person to suggest that jihadists hate us not for what we are but for what we’ve done–park in their neighborhood, support local despots, prop up a nation planted in their midst which they find mortifying, suck up their oil, preach to them about the proper treatment of women, need I go on? But I think he goes further, when he says “God d**n America,” to suggest that terrorist attacks are a judgment of God on a guilty nation That surely is how many of the faithful would understand him, and not just in African-American churches. Pat Robertson thought they had something to do with increasing toleration of lesbianism, or something..

      America is certainly a lucky country: natives finished off by disease, much fertile soil, isolation from the Eurasian cockpit of world affairs, heir to the broader British tradition of limited government etc.
      But many Americans would also–or instead–say America is “blessed,” literally by God, that its exceptionalism is God-bestowed, hence we are favored as no other country on earth except, of course, Israel.

      This is a dangerous idea, whether it comes from Muslim fanatics, Jeremiah Wright and his ilk, adepts of Glen Beck, or the moonbats in the Westboro Baptist Church Moonbat Cave.

      I sat in church pews for over 55 years and have NEVER heard that kind of language or political opinion in a single service. The church is a place to worship God and learn how to better love one another, and should never be a place to condemn and criticize others.

      HowNowBrownMao:
      You are right that Wright was horribly smeared on the basis of a small number of “gotcha” video clips.
      Liberation theology served hot isn‘t to everyone’s taste, but there it is, and I’m sure along the way Wright ministered to the troubled, sick and dying just like any man of the cloth should. I doubt Obama paid much attention; he claims to have had a spiritual experience of some sort but I think he was mostly networking.

      A larger issue, though: Wright’s famous “God d–mn America” goes to the point that jihadis hate America for what it is, but even more for what it does. As jihadis see it, we park in their neighborhood, support despots, support a nation in their midst whose very existence they find mortifying, suck their oil, preach to them about their treatment of women, need I go on? An obvious observation that’s been made many times.

      But isn’t Wright saying also that God is literally punishing America for its sins? That is how many of his congregation, thinking of slavery and all, would have understood him, and surely Wright knew this. But he’s not alone– Pat Robertson thought 9/11 was punishment for too many lesbians on TV,
      or something. This is a dangerous way of thinking, that God blesses or curses entire nations, but it’s all too common, whether among Muslim fanatics, left-wing black preachers, fans of Glenn Beck, or the moonbats of the Westboro Baptist Church Moonbatcave.

I can’t help but believe God has a plan for this absurd world, but sowing even more fear and discontent on the part of Ms. Beck is manipulative and wrong. Like most drunks that quit drinking, he suddenly feels empowered to judge others with his newffound wisdom. Just because you stop pouring whiskey down your throat doesn’t qualify you as an authority on anything except how damned assenine you were for pouring whiskey down your throat.

      You misunderstand Beck!

      He does not claim to be an authority on anything, just a simple, honest seeker after truth.

      That’s his appeal: “I didn’t know any of ths stuff either, until I read ____________. See, I’m just like you, and you should be like me–study, inform yourself, don’t take my word for it.”

      Naturally, _____________ is as often as not a crock, and I‘m afraid most of his fans don’t follow his advice, but simply parrot a few catchphrases (”Top down, bottom up, inside out” is a classic example) without much research or serious analysis of their own.

      You are right about the origins of the saying, but my main point was, what exactly does it mean?

      It‘s so broad it’s virtually devoid of content–any upheaval from the fall of the Roman Republic to the fall of Mubarak can be made to fit under the “TDBUIO” rubric.

      Try it yourself on, say, the American Revolution: Patriot leaders, most of them members of the colonial elites (top down) mobilize elements of the yeomanry and town populations (bottom up) and, when they judge the time is right, when they’ve stirred up enough disorder to provoke British reprisals and rile the populace even more, take over the colonial legislatures and drive theTories out (inside out).

    It was good to see Beck talking history with a couple of actual historians, neither of them of the fringe-y variety he seems to favor.

    Naturally, he made mistakes, among which I’d like to single out a few concerning the French Revolution–so much like ours (Robespierre wore knee breeches and powdered wigs just like Washington!) and even in part inspired by ours, as well as precipitated by a huge unfundable debt incurred helping ours–and yet so unlike ours, what with all those messy guillotinings and all, and ending in military despotism.

    The French Revolution did not really begin with the Tennis Court Oath; it began with aristocratic resistance to the monarchy’s attempts to make them share the burden of taxation with the “3rd Estate,” who were essentially 90% of the people.

    It was not essentially “collectivist”: parts of its 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen read like a libertarian manifesto–“Liberty consists in the freedom to do everything which injures no one else” is one such passage.

    The Reign of Terror did indeed end up killing some of the “old, infirm and weak,” mostly peasants caught up in the rural counter-revolutionary uprisings in the Vendee and other areas of western France, but Beck’s suggestion that they were targeted to save money or because they were “useless eaters” (a Stalinist term) or “life unworthy of life” (a Nazi term) is completely false, and obviously meant to raise the spectre of “death panels” in contemporary America.

    The French Revolution was never officially atheistic: a few so called “enraged ones” (as in “Days of Rage?”) tried to institute a so called “Religion of Reason” but were quickly suppressed and sent off to the guillotine by Robespierre, who far from being an atheist believed firmly that God (if not the Roman Catholic Church) was an essential element in his “Republic of Virtue.”

    I’ll excuse some minor factual errors, e.g., that Tom Paine was imprisoned in the Bastille, which had been destroyed by the time he arrived in France.

    After reasearching the Boston Tea Party, Shay’s Rebellion, Frie’s Rebellion, and the Whiskey Rebellion, it is apparent to me that the government will use military force against the populace in order to secure debts and the payment of taxes.

    Only one of these incidents led to our freedom, the one where it was a foreign government attempting to tax us without representation, which led to the American Revolutionary War, the Boston Tea Party.

    Every time the populace tries to rise against its OWN government that’s taxing us without representation (or with MISrepresentation by our elected officials), the government puts down the rebellion violently with military force.

    Such has been the case with United States Federal government.

    This is the reason we have a Bill of Rights, to limit the power of FEDERAL government, by armed insurrection if neccessary.

    Now the Insurrection Act of 1807 is designed not to limit the power of the people, but to limit the power of THE PRESIDENT (Commander in Chief of the Army, therefor limiting the power of the military) in response to lawlessness, insurrection and rebellion, relying on Governors (National Guard), County Commisioners (Sheriffs), Mayors (Local Police Depts/Housing Authorities), and City Councils for initial response in the event of insurrection.

    Coupled with the Posse Comitatus Act, Presidential powers for law enforcement are FURTHER limited and delayed prohibiting members of the Army, Air Force, and units of the National Guard under Federal authority from exercising even nominally state law enforcement, police, or peace officer powers that maintain “law and order” on non-federal property (states and their counties and municipal divisions) within the United States.

    Of course, now we have Local Law Enforcement and Sheriffs regionalizing and FEDERALIZING by teaming up with Military and TSA to enforce local laws and ordinances, the advent of no-refusal sobriety checkpoints, where there’s a Judge on site to give warrant to the forcible extraction of blood and DNA in the event of a refusal, coupled with the roll out of mobile x-ray scanners that expose you to deadly levels of x-ray radiation.

    The military is doing training drills in which they practice descending on the populace and herding civilians into detainment against their will, while disarming the populace.

    On March 10, 2009, active duty Army military police troops from Fort Rucker were deployed to Samson, Alabama in response to a murder spree. Samson officials confirmed that the soldiers assisted in traffic control and securing the crime scene. The governor of Alabama did not request military assistance nor did President Obama authorize their deployment. Subsequent investigation found that the Posse Comitatus Act was violated and several military members received “administrative actions.”

    So what we have here is the military testing the bounds of the law right up to the hilt, and they’re SURROUNDING us in terms of testing our rights established by the Bill of Rights.

    This is the definition of Creeping Martial Law. Evolutionary Martial Law, instead of Revolutionary Martial Law.

    But of course, MARTIN LUTHER KING showed us we don’t HAVE to use violence…

    All we have to do is refuse to participate or simply exercise our rights peacefully despite intimidation and violence by others…

      HardcoreAlexJones, “On March 10, 2009, active duty Army military police troops from Fort Rucker were deployed to Samson, Alabama in response to a murder spree. Yeah, the military helped but it was only 22 military people with military police training to help with a deranged murder that was shooting people in a wide part of the community. The police force did have the man power to cover such a wide area so they needed assistance. And it was like they called in a brigade, it was 22 MPs, that’s it.
      So your story of the military Posse Comitatus Act being violated is completely wrong. The military, Reserves and National Guard can be used to assist states when the need arises and it isn’t an Alex Jones Crackpot Conspiracy Theory. You are adding your own facts to this story which are not true.
      HardcoreAlexJones, are you in the military or are you just a delusional Alex Jones follower. I’m in the military and we are not “doing training drills in which they practice descending on the populace and herding civilians into detainment against their will, while disarming the populace.” That is Alex Jones propaganda and totally bunk what he is saying but sadly listeners like you believe that trash.

    I thought that was a good summary. One point I will make is that socialists understand where there is social stability, as expressed in coherent and intergenerational moral narratives that exist outside of the political realm, there will be no revolution. For this reason, they seek to undermine morality, outside of an intolerance for moral difference, which is to say an intolerance for anyone who thinks anything but intolerance is wrong.

    One can with reason ask what the end goal can possibly be, when the means chosen prohibit a positive outcome. Death, that is the goal. Not all people want to live. Not all people want freedom. Many people feel oppressed by it, and by life itself, an object of odium for them. It is hard to live happily when one believes in nothing.

    So why not just off themselves? Why not a “quietus make” with a “bare” knife? Ah, no one wants to die alone. They want the world to know they existed, and that they were important. They want to bring the rest of us with them.

    And in the end I think what they intend is actually worse than just killing our bodies: what the worst of them actually want is to kill our spirits. That is what they have done in Cuba. That is what they have done in North Korea. That is what they tried to do in China, and which is still a likely future for them, if they can vanquish us. Leftism is a docrine of pure and unadulterated hatred and evil, at its core. Many people exist at the periphery. They only hear the noble words, and lack the character to reconcile them with the actual history. This is how the liars and maniacs at the core want it. That’s how Lenin wanted it; Pol Pot; Mao; Ho Chi Minh.

    A veil can be pierced: a dark veil with light. Truth will banish falsehood, given wings. It is to his credit that Glenn has set that ambitious task for himself.

      The South African Revolution (if you want to call it that) was by no means bloodless, but most of the blood shed in 1990-1994 was in black-on-black melees as the ANC and IFP jockeyed for position. The actual, final transfer of power to Mandela’s government in 1994 was carried out remarkably peacefully. Since then, despite alarming crime rates, including as you point out the murders of white farmers, and despite menacing “kill the Boer” talk from the ANC Youth League, and frequent strikes and service disruptions, overall South Africa has maintained a multiparty system, the rule of law, an economic system with socialist elements (many left over from apartheid days) but still essentially capitalist, and civil liberties including freedom of speech and press and a high rate of gun ownership. I’d say South Africans have done better than even the most sanguine observers expected even 25 years ago.

    A lesson is taught in Revelations that all would do well to learn, but I fear that lesson is dying with the Boomers and their immediate offspring. The following is paraphrased:

    ‘To take the mark of the Beast is to join with him, better to suffer want and persecution.’

    CASUAL VISITORS, TROLLS, and Curiousity Seekers:
    Discard the Bible if you like, as superstitious pulp -your immortal soul is in your hands. Though, ware the tried and true lessons of previous civilizations. Ignore them and your name shall be cursed by your own seed.
    The German people learned far too late that taking the mark of a State leads to bad things. If a single entity determines the existence of it’s populace then the entity eventually replaces God in that society. Thereby morality becomes the province of the Government. Statism (not to be confused with the 50 states) is, and has always led to government sponsored subjugation then to genocide.

I don‘t have to do someone else’s bidding. I can seek guidance and help [that help coming in the form of strength or comfort or understanding] fo deal with events in my life. But the ultimate responsibility with where I am in my life is purely based on my decisions and what I do…in the USA…in a free society…under God. Didn’t our founding fathers believe that our democracy would succeed and survive only if we believed in God, Jehovah?

      Gee, Miss Maythorpe, who died and made you schoolmarm for the day? Just in case you didn’t know, we see everything you claim to stand for and don’t. We reject everything you actually believe. And we don’t care if you care.

      Hope that helped. Now, you just focus on your “knit one pearl two” life, and we’ll get on with repairing the millennial damage conservatives have done over the last 30 years.

    the sandwich board Grifter speaks!!!!

    Lets see… “… Beck insists that he is not political: “I could give a flying cr@p about the political process.” Making money, on the other hand, is to be taken very seriously, and controvers­y is its own coinage. “We’re an entertainm­ent company,” Beck says. He has managed to monetize virtually everything that comes out of his mouth. He gets $13 million a year from print (books plus the ten-issue-­a-year magazine Fusion). Radio brings in $10 million. Digital (including a newsletter­, the ad-support­ed Glennbeck.­com and merchandis­e) pulls in $4 million. Speaking and events are good for $3 million and television for $2 million.” [ http://www­.forbes.co­m/forbes/2­010/0426/e­ntertainme­nt-fox-new­s-simon-sc­huster-gle­nn-beck-in­c.html ]

    It’s a blueprint. You can witness it coming out of the closet with the surreal stalin/mao/hitler posters obama campaigned with. There’s nothing mysterious about it. How does the coup always complete? With well placed headshots to the temples of top brass that is not part of the operation. Kidnap and threaten their lives and those of their spouse and children vs riches and power beyond their wildest dreams – everyone falls in (or out). We are less than a box of bullets away from this step, with an entity that would think nothing of it..

    Thank God for Glenn teaching a segment of society that has been asleep for too long. But for good reasons… We have been busy putting food on the tbale for our families and putting our kids through College, and striving for the real American dream. Not so for the kids of hippies that live off of our hard work so they have more free time to mock us and call us Nazi’s.

    Please Glenn, do NOT ever stop telling the truth. You are where you are at the right moment in history to help us keep our beloved country!

      The Revolution that gives people freedom from oppressive government is good. The right to have arms to fight that type of government is guarantied by the Constitution’s Bill of Rights. I will fight that oppressive government to protect my family and my friends and our freedoms. Loaded and ready!!

      The lesson of revolutions is repeated constantly in history; and fulfills the old saying dating back to Santyana of China “To forget the lessons of the past, is to condemn yourself and your children to repeating them.”

      That is one translation of it; Churchill put it more better in his speeches.

      Ironically, I just started rewatching Babylon 5, the last best hope for mankind. That is the way I feel for the world right now, we are the best last hope for mankind. Otherwise, I believe we are heading for the 2nd dark ages.

      Darmok… B-5 was a great show, and I also compare it to what is happening now. And you are right, We are “The last best hope for mankind” and our beloveed country. I want a political and peaceful solution to this mess were in now, but I fear that we will soon have to become the “Well regulated militia” our founders planned on. Praying for the best but ready for the worst… Semper Fi !

      ARMED REBELLION, CERTAINLY NOT:

      Recently, some of my Facebook friends have posted messages hinting that armed rebellion might be necessary to free us from the tyrants. Violent revolution might well free us from the current crop of tyrants but would almost certainly mean the end Of the American Revolution. The result would most likely be a new dictator who promised free elections as soon as order could be restored. Look at history. That was Castro’s promise and Cuba is still waiting for him to restore the Constitution and provide free elections.

      In all of history is only been one George Washington! There have been many revolutions and without an external intervention all had degenerated into a dictatorship. There has been only one “George Washington” ready, willing and able to create a constitutional republic. If violence erupts in our country, in an attempt to dispose of the tyrants, the result will almost surely be a dictatorship and the world will sink back into the Middle Ages. http://commonsense21c.com/

      Snake, you’re so witty and original. I’m sure you meant to type “collage” when talking about Beck U — not “college.” Yes, Beck is dean of his own “collage” — a very successful one called Mercury Radio Arts.

      How smart of you to figure that out.
