Israel‘s ’Media Watch‘ Explains the Media’s ‘Anti-Beck Crusade’

Glenn Beck’s Restoring Courage was not only monumental, it was beautiful. The multi-night event encouraged people to stand with courage for Israel. That message was simple. But despite a seemingly non-controversial message, why has the media scoffed at the idea? Eli Pollak and Yisrael Medad, two Israelis who run a Jewish watchdog organization called Media Watch, have a theory: “The media, it has been asserted, are the main ally of the liberal-progressive elite.”

In an op-ed for the Jerusalem Post (”Media Comment: The anti-Beck crusade”), the two quote Thomas Sowell, describing how the leftist media uses tools such as “the denigration and even demonizing” of persons “who present evidence that can be used in contemporary culture wars…. Opponents must be shown to be not merely mistaken but morally lacking.”

And that was certainly on display during Beck’s time in Israel.

For example, the pair points out how writer Ben Hartman of The Atlantic tried to demonize Beck for recent claims about the driving force behind some Jewish protests — nevermind that the claims had a factual basis:

Ben Hartman, writing on the website of Atlantic Monthly, highlighted Beck’s analogy of the tent demonstrators in Tel Aviv to communists and his questioning whether or not they were being financed by some sort of international left-wing organization. Well, we know for sure that extreme socialists are involved.

A 12-year-old member of the “Socialist Struggle” grouplet became an overnight sensation due to his rhetorical skills and was even a star on the Channel 2 game show 1 vs. 100. It is a fact that the New Israel Fund – as far- Left as one can be in the Jewish world, except perhaps for J Street – actually did provide funds and training. In other words, Beck was basically correct – but who cares?

Further proof of the couple‘s point could be found in Hartman’s attempted bashing of Monday night’s first Restoring Courage event, they explained:

He lamented that Beck didn’t fulfill the script dictated by the left wing at his first event of the “Restoring Courage” week, which took place on Monday evening in Caesarea: “Far more tent revival than political rally, Sunday’s event lacked the sort of red meat anti- Obama or Muslim-baiting rhetoric that had made Beck so popular among the American Christian right.”

In other words, the event was very respectable, and poor Hartman could not really justify his rantings.

Michael Evans, who spoke at two Restoring Courage events, couldn‘t believe the media’s reaction either.

“The liberal-leftist media in Israel has stooped to a new low in demonizing Glenn Beck before his ‘Restoring Courage’ rallies in Caesarea and Jerusalem,” Evans writes in a separate Jerusalem Post piece. “Their false statements abounded, such as those concerning his relationship with his former Fox network.”

He goes on to correct the narrative that Beck was “fired” from Fox. He wasn’t. The former host and his former network still have plans to partner for specials. He also points out that it’s wrong to assert Sen. Joe Lieberman did not attend due to “ideological differences.” He instead had a family commitment.

“No Christian has ever risked more of his reputation and resources, or put his life on the line to the degree that Glenn Beck has for Israel. How dumb can the liberal-Left media be?” he asks.

Good question.

    “Anybody who has studied Mormonism comes away scratching their heads. It is truly bizarre!” Thus spake Gates herein.

    We are alien visitors who learned your civilization knows our universal God. We seek your help to know him too. We have learned a SMALL PART of your religious beliefs called Scientology, Mormonism, and Christianity. Which is true? Please help us. You are more aware than we.

    We have learned a purpose of Scientology is to become certain of one‘s spiritual existence and one’s relationship to God. A human is an immortal alien spiritual being (like us!) that is trapped on planet Earth in a physical body. We’re a little fuzzy on the dropping of our brother and sister spirits into a Hawaiian volcano.

    Mormons believe a prophet of God received a testament of Christ in 19th century America written on golden plates after a native American angel appeared to him. He revealed the contents of the plates while talking into a hat containing a “seer stone” that revealed the text of the book of Mormon.

    Christians believe that almighty God divinely caused a married virgin peasant girl to be with a child who led a mostly anonymous life as a carpenter until revealing his true nature through his glorious example for all, yet died a human death to arise and watch over us with the Father.

    We cannot tell which is true; we don’t know how Earthlings make that judgment. We only know that God is truth and light. Show us the true way. Why is one “bizarre” tale bette

      I like Glenn Beck and I think that his heart is in the right place..HOWEVER
      Glenn is evidently easily persuaded to be politically correct or is too eager to not “insult” or “irritate” some cultures. By omiting the name of Jesus from his speeches to gain acceptance by the Jews, he has denied Jesus before man. If the Jews want Christians to deny Jesus, then they aren’t worthy of our support. Most Christians will support Israel but those who are willing to deny Jesus cannot call themselves Christians… well, they can, but they are liars.
      Glenn has embraced a religion (Mormonism) that denies that there is only one God and that there has never been another God. They believe that they themselves can become gods if they do certain things. Mormons claim to believe in the KJV, but they obviously don’t because this is contrary to scripture.
      Anyone that claims that there is more than one way to the Father (salvation) is calling Jesus the Christ a liar and the truth is not in them. Jesus said, “I am the way the truth and the life and there is no way to the Father but by Me.” Sadly, He also said that broad is the path to destruction and narrow is the gate to salvation and FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT… paraphrased. Even so, Christians are told to love those who hate them… something that I have great difficulty with. I pray that God will change my heart.
      Jesus does not know those who refuse to keep the 4th Commandment or the others for that matter.

      All churches have theological differences, that is what the point is, we all have differences but it is no reason to bash or not communicate in a civilized manner with someone of another religion. The point Glenn makes is that we all need to be able to communicate and have respect for each other, if we as people come together and love each other for who we are it would eliminate half the problems we have here in America!

The reason that God came as Himself through His Son , was so that we would know how to live the Law as Yeshua is the Law. He is the Word. How could God come as Himself? He is omnipresent…everywhere at once. For Jesus said, I and the Father are One. Just think of this…what if Yeshua is God and you are rejecting Him? Have you ever thought to pray about that, and to let God guide your heart? Do you trust God? Does He speak to you?

      Read Isaiah 11:1-10 and Micah 4:1-4 The problem with this is that people believe it is literally political in nature that ALL nations will find peace when this happens but it can’t possibly be about the last day but the latter days (which we have been in since the 1st century). Therefore these prophecies were about Christ when He was first here and those who love and obey God will try to live peaceably with all men. People don‘t seem to know this but there’s a lot of hyperbole, metaphors, etc. etc. in the Bible (Revelation is full of symbolism). Look at the days of fasting mentioned by Esther before she went to see the king she said 3 days and nights, well she went and saw the king on the 3rd day which Jewish tradition would count a portion of a day a whole day. I bring this up to show those who may not believe Christ is the Messiah to research into Hebrew traditions and language like idioms and hyperbole… believe it or not they used it back then. (Job 19:6, Deut. 1:28, Judges 20:16) So just because one says “well see it says here this will happen and it didn’t happen! Is reading far too literally into *some* things that just can’t be read that way. But that doesn’t mean the whole Bible should be read that way either. With studying one can differentiate between a literal saying and hyperbole or idioms or the like. But this one thing is true, Jesus was and is who He says.

      I can not prove anything to you, but I will point out a particular prophecy in the book of Revelation pertaining to the “false prophet”. In Iran there is a well where a particular Imam, the Al Mahdi or 12th Imam, as a child, was taken into a “hidden” place. He is said to be existing within a place called occultation, meaning basically hidden. He is to emerge from this well and lead the muslims to overcoming and subjecting all people throughout the world to the worship of his god. If you will not worship his god you will be killed. I find it rather difficult to explain how this exactly matches the story in Revelation about the “false prophet” who comes up out of a “bottomless pit” and proceeds to force all mankind to worship his god or be killed. These muslims welcome and pray for this Imam to come and bring power to them. We Christians pray that Christ will return and destroy this false prophet, the beast and satan who is their master. Strange that they are both, Imam and false prophet, referred to also as prophets. When you see this guy come up out of the ground (or wormhole) over there in Iran, what will you believe then? When you see Christ’s light, brighter than a thousand suns, shine over the earth, just before he sends His Angels to remove His Elect from the earth prior to God’s wrath being poured out on the beast and false prophet and all that worship them and their god, what will you believe then? By seeing, will you then believe?

My original post — in response to someone who was belittling another’s religious beliefs — was that there is plenty of interesting historic mythology associated with all of our beliefs and that we should not bar the door to others because we do not agree on such immaterialities. I think that is Glenn’s message; it is certainly mine, and I regret that I did not make that main point clear in trying to, maybe too sarcastically, emphasize it to another.

      Let me ask you something, in this verse: Deut 1:28 Where can we go up? Our brethren have discouraged our hearts, saying, “The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.”’ -Would you take literally that their cities are fortified to heaven or that it just means they have very heavily fortified cities? The Bible has lots of hyperbole and idioms like we use today you just have to differentiate between a literal saying or an exaggerated one. In fact some of our sayings today came from the Bible ie 2 Samuel 14:3 -put words in one’s mouth.

      @I IMREDDOG There are missionaries in Israel and I realize that the Jews have scoffed at them and burned Bibles. Glenn was showing Israel that Christians will stand by them just as we have been commanded by God to do. This whole event is being orchestrated by God. We are defintitely in the last days. If Glenn had been witnessing to them about Jesus, they would more than likely not even have come or would have walked out. Glenn I believe was planting seed. The Jews are not dumb..they know what Christians believe..they do not believe because their eyes are blinded until the full number of gentiles come in. God will gather all the nations to go against Israel…then Jesus steps in, saves them and pours out His Spirit of Grace and supplication upon them and they will recognize He whom they pierced. As I understand scripture, not all will continue in their newfound belief, but there will be one third of them saved..that is the remenant. I was wondering..you said that everyone must observe the Sabbath. So what do you think and when do you think the Sabbath is?

    I’m no leftist and have watched Beck for a couple of years now, I attended the 8-28 rally; and I‘m thankful for what he has done and what he has exposed.

    However, I have this to say about portions of this rally. In the intro piece, Glenn speaks of 3 faiths, 3 paths all leading to God‘s throne. How wide the gate and broad the way must it be to encompass 3 paths. Scripture tells us there is ONE faith, not three (Ephesians 4:5); and to enter in by the strait gate (Matt. 7:13, Luke 13:24) not the wide and broad. I certainly don’t need a “new path” led by myself; I’d rather be led by faith in Christ. Glenn exposed the Liberation Theology; but this sounds and smells awfully close to Dominion Theology. If you don’t know what that is, you’d do well to learn about it.

    The scripture Glenn quotes about “Comfort my People” is from Isaiah 40…..out of context in his use of it….read the whole of that scripture, it speaks about Jesus Christ coming, it is He who will be the comfort of His People, not Jerusalem united or rebuilt here on earth.

    That’s just a couple of things that make me question this “movement”. It made me mindful of what Jesus said about watching what you hear. There are several other places in his speech, things he is espousing and the misuse of the scriptures, that made me sit back and consider what he means by what he is saying.

      Thank you for your comment TRUTHNCHARITY.

      I too love Glenn. I am so grateful for all of his hard work. He has done more to expose the evil that is rampant in our Gov. and around the world than anyone else. He has amazing vision and I believe God is directing him in many ways. He has done so very sacrificially and he is highly esteemed by me and many others. I do have to agree that I was troubled by the same things in his speech that you were, particularly the three paths to the same god. There is only ONE path and it is narrow. My favorite scripture is from Romans and it says, “Salvation is found in noone else…for there is no other name under heaven, given to men, by which we must be saved”. There is only one way. It is the truth. I stand in it. One path….only ONE.

      I do agree that we should work with others when possible to do what is right and take a stand. But we should never compromise the truth of God’s Word to get there. I am not well spoken. I don’t want this post to come across as anti Glenn. I love him and pray for him regularly. I can’t think of another human being that I am more grateful to for the good he has done. Thank you so much Glenn.

      I am a jewish, tea party, Glenn Beck fan- amd I can tell you that Glenn’s message resonates with all religions, BECAUSE he is focusing on G-D – something all 3 religions can unite on – and we do!! He purposely avoided the DIFFERENCES between our faiths focusing on what unites paople of faith against the communist,leftist tyranny coming our way led by the global left wing Soros folks including Obama. As for your “dominion theology” and statement that there’s ONLY one path to salvation-JESUS- I respect your belief if if we as jews don’t agree, but these technical differences are not the point of Glenn’s movement- your focus on this, makes me suspicious that you are an Obama voting intolerant catholic a la Chris Matthews, and possibly Mel Gibson. Since YOU brought it up I WILL continue on your path of ‘belief’ by saying that we jews also feel heartened by Glenn’s focus on the OLD TESTAMENT – the word of G-D as opposed to the New Testament which is the word of MAN. The New Testament is basically a rewrite of G-D’S word which of course a fraud- no different than what today’s progressives are analogously doing to our US Constitution. Sorry for those sensitive words but you brought it up.

      Whoa there woodrosux. The New Testament is every bit as holy as the Old Testament. When people start saying God did this and God did that they better have the facts. Jesus is the final word of God. The Jews missed the boat and that’s their problem to worry about. Just like the Mormons and the others, the rules are clear. Glenn won’t make the cut either unless he converts.

      WOODROWSUX: I respectfully disagree with you. I believe the Old and New Testament are God’s Word. Dominion theology is not about one way to salvation; look it up. I do hold to faith in Christ alone being the only way to salvation; even the Old Testament points to it throughout.

      As for your accusation of me being an Obama voter….you err, I did not vote for Obama and never would.
      An intolerant Catholic? You expose your own intolerance and hate, but you err again…no, I am not a Catholic, nor a Baptist, Lutheran, Protestant…..whatever denomination you wish to name….I go simply by Christian.

      TRUTHINCHARITY, I appreciate your passion and I appreciate your support for Israel (if you do), but you are attacking G-d’s words and the beliefs of others. Since you brought it up, when The ALL seeing, All Knowing G-d who is outside of time tells the Jews the path to salvation in HIS very detailed TORAH He dictated to Moses, where HE instructs Jews to follow His words FOREVER, but is SILENT regarding the one and only path to salvation you mention, this points to a major theological flaw in your statement that there is only one way. Would a merciful, all knowing G-d who “does not change His mind” tell the Jews to follow his Torah, and then more than 1300 years later tell us he was wrong and the only path to salvation is the blood of Jesus? Would the last Prophet in the Hebrew scriptures tell us to follow G-d’s Torah, and the most lengthy Psalm written by King David go on and on about following G-d’s Torah and mention nothing about salvation through Jesus if that was the ONLY way? No offense here, but we all have a spark of the Divine within us, and would Jesus, a Jew who preached love and mercy believe that a merciful and just G-d would sentence others to an eternal lake of fire? Doesn’t Zecharia state “Thus saith the LORD of hosts: In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men out of all the languages of the nations, shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying: We will go with you, for we heard that G-d is with you.”? Shalom Shalom

      I agree with woodrowsux in regard to the focus of Restoring Courage and Glenn’s body of work. Glenn is not operating in the “Christian” realm, per se, with what he is doing. He is operating in the “political, worldly realm” though not denying his Mormon faith. The whole purpose was to oppose anti-semitism and stand with Jews and Israel’s right to exist as a Christian with any other Christian, Jew, or Moslem who is for peaceful co-existence…he is not operating as a Christian evangelist.

      The retorts to Woodrowsux are already obvious to him, so why even bother? As a Bible believing Christian, I’d like woodrowsux and everyone else to know that I stand with individual liberty of conscience to your faith…and so does God. He does not condone going against your conscience. If your reading of the old testament does not allow you in good conscience to believe that Jesus was indeed the Messiah, and Son of David and God, then you SHOULD stand where you do by all means. The converse is also true. Bless the LORD he knows what he is doing and the veil will one day be removed…hopefully real soon.

      @Tovia
      Reading Ezekiel 40-42 this morning, I thought about how we’ve already had time travelers before “Back to the Future”. G-d is indeed outside of time and knows the end from the beginning and states it in his word (Isaiah) as how we know he is indeed G-d.
      Always liked Psalm 119 as well, and found it interesting how after exalting obedience to the law and the word throughout how it ends.
      I’ve been studying individual salvation under the law and orthodox theology for that reason as well. Its interesting you note that under the law salvation is found in keeping the very detailed Torah. Yet in my studies it seems to me G-d has left individual eternal salvation somewhat of a mystery in the Torah. Temporal life is certainly found there…not being cut off from thy people…but it doesn’t seem to be clear about eternal salvation. Know Abraham was imputed righteous by faith…and the unconditional promises of inheritance in the land…but it remains undifinitive to me. Can you help?
      Specially since G-d has stated that pretty much none followed the Torah?

      I also should say I understand how contrary it is to all Jewish practice from the Torah to believe grace provides eternal salvation. What a revolutionary metamorphosis in a Jew’s life that would be, and was for many. So much so that many who had believed still followed the Torah.

      TOVIA: You question my support of Israel based on what? I have no problem whatsoever standing in support of Israel against the evil anti-Semitic hate that drives others to want the elimination of the Jewish people off the face of the earth; or any people for that matter. I support Beck, you, and anyone else who would stand against such evil.

      I stand firm in my faith and in no way did I attack God’s Word or anyone else’s faith. It seems because I question a few things, and hold true to my own faith, you and others feel free to lay false charges and/or assume I must be against Israel, Beck, God’s Word even. That makes no sense to me.

      The whole of the Old Testament points to Christ throughout as it was God’s plan from the foundation of earth. As for God, who “does not change His mind”, how do you line that up with Him “changing His mind” about the destruction of Nineveh and several other places throughout scripture where He “changed His mind”? Thoughtfully consider that.

      No offense here, but every man is born corrupt and stands in need of redemption. God is just and righteous in all that He does; would you dare to tell Him He’s not if He deems it right to cast whomsoever He will into that eternal lake of fire?

      I will continue to pray for Israel, for Glenn Beck, his family and staff, and all people who choose to stand against evil.

      Now I’m done with this. Have a nice weekend.

      Zechariah is one of my favorite books…you are 100% correct. The Jew will again be sought out as the blessed of the Lord, contrary as it is to today.

      One other observation…Ezekiel 16:61 was an astounding find for me recently. “I will give them (Samaria and Sodom) unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.” Wow! A different covenant from the Jew in the future for the Gentile and mixed…though in the same family! And even in verse 60 “an everlasting covenant” instead of “the” covenant…sounds like the new covenant from Jeremiah and Ezekiel combined with the old covenant will be established in the future.

    Actually, God’s Hand was forced upon men to crucify Him. It was not within man’s power to harm Him. He had to fulfill His Word. The “ Crucifixion ” was a Gift that God gave man out of His Love for man. Nothing in the world could have prevented it. God so much desires a much more perfect “Union ” with Him, that He Sacrificed Himself for the world to give man ” Salvation.” God lifts His Word higher than Himself. We are “ all ” participates in His Crucifixion.

      Let’s face it, Christ had no love for the Jews of Judah, which is why he gave his New Testament. Let’s also face the fact that the Jews of Judah had no love for Christ, for they had him killed. Christ was a Nazarene, a Galilean. He was not a Jew from Judah, as many have fooled many others to believe. John the Baptist was also not a Jew from Judah, and his demise was the same.

      Yes Mormons had their time but then wised up and had a time of enlightenment. There are those who don’t want to let the old beliefs go but they are very few. There are people, who say the same thing about Christianity, that we worship a god that died, and we committed some mighty atrocities ourselves. Yet, we have had our enlightenment and are better off for it.

      Remember when you point a finger there are three pointing back at you.

      go ahead mock as you wish..but please enlighten everyone with your knowledge about the grave differences between monotheist doctrine (christians/jews) and polytheist doctrine(mormons).

      Did you also know that mormons beleive that we’ll all be gods and have our own planets to rule over?
      and did you know that they beleive their god lives on a planet called kalob?
      Oh yes… there are all kinds of little gems within the mormon doctrine…that absolutley are in direct conflict with The Bible.

      so before you mock…educate yourself.

      Well, I might have a problem with that if that were something that Glenn “preached” – HE DOES NOT. His speaking of God’s plan of salvation and that Christ is the living son of the one true God and that redemption comes through the shed blood of Jesus – falls right in line with my Baptist beliefs and the New Testament.

      Since there is only one church with one shepherd – Jesus – who calls for us to keep unity – then I shall do just that – as long as the way of Christ is proclaimed the rest is for God to sort out

      He has been right on nearly everything else…Maybe we all should read the book of mormon. Nah then we couldn’t blame and bash.

      Firstly there are a number of people who go to the Mormon church who don’t know/agree with a number of the items in the book of Mormon. I don’t know where Glenn sits on any of these issues, but wherever he sits it doesn’t seem to jeopardize his voice concerning the saving grace of Christ, the necessity of our reliance on God, etc. He might just want to be where feels the spirit of God, and happens to feel it in a Mormon sanctuary. I’m not a Mormon, but this fact is trivial. The USA needs defenders of its various freedoms, like freedom of religion. I think we‘ll be better suited to engage in a discussion of theology once we have the proponents of leftist thought dealt with in a way that they cannot further damage our country’s reputation and constitutional infrastructure. By the way, I’m not voting for Glenn to be president, so a comparison to Mitt Romney is pointless. My reason for not voting for Romney won’t have anything to do with his choice of religion,rather, it is his fiscal views/practices that I cannot abide. Either way, God Bless.

      How come when somebody tells the truth about a group like Mormons and it‘s unflattering some idiot always has to point his boogered finger and say it’s bashing? What’s up with that crap? Did Jesus bash the Jews when he knocked over their money tables? Get real dumbass.

      @10-32inIdaho – have read the BoM. I lived in a heavily LDS populated community (not in Utah) when my daughters were in elementary school and will all the recruiting going on on the playground I decided to know something about the LDS church. Really tough one to get my around how this book has spawned a religion, but stranger things have happened. I would suggest more people read the BoM as it will open your eyes to the differences between it and mainstream beliefs.

      singer, now you have made two comments without any facts. As for them believing in the saving grace of Christ……..NO, here is ONE of the differences, they also believe in the fact that the way to one of their heavens is not by the saving grace of Christ alone as most Christians believe, but by your works as well and through the belief of Joe Smith as a prophet. Please, if you are Mormon do some research into the places your bishoprick tells you not to. You don’t have to be perfect to get into the one Heaven, you just have to repent and have Faith in the Grace onof the One and Only Son of the One True God of the Universe.

      His fundy beliefs could be a big obstacle as well if he goes too far.

      Interesting, this site won’t let you make critical analysis of Dav Bar-Ton (which I actually belief has some questionable historicalally unverifiable beliefs, or takes things out of context).

      Man, It‘s so sad there’ll be a theology test to enter the Pearly Gates! I remember working at a J.W.’s home and overheard a young boy say,”Mommy, I love Jesus so much!” Too bad he’ll burn eternally because his theology is foul, like Beck’s……..and Dr. Laura’s……and not like our perfect, flawless, pure Christian theology. Remember: judge first, dude. There’s too much at stake for mercy these days. Intercession is so mainsteam. Be at peace knowing you got it right!

      Golly gee. I am a very active Mormon myself, and I find some of the things you folks are saying to be just plain silly. You take a little crazy-glued pieces of doctrine and think you’ve discovered THE GREATEST HOAX IN THE UNIVERSE! Please.

      If I were to waste my time trying to combat all the idiocy spewed here, I would consider myself an idiot as well. Therefore, I will say this instead: we Mormons do believe that we humans are not just proverbial children of God, but literal spirit children of God. What do kids grow up to become? That’s right: parents. It’s logical. If Jesus was the literal son of God, why didn’t he look like a giant amorphous blob that some of you Christians think he is? God is real, God is a glorified human, and we can become glorified just like him if we follow the teachings of Jesus Christ our redeemer. Read your freekin’ bibles.

      And Joseph Smith didn’t read out of a hat to translate the Book of Mormon. Where the hell did that come from? South Park?

      It seems that all the theologians on this site are lacking in education. You make yourself look a little uneducated and silly when you make statements about things that you do not have complete knowledge of. Are we not taught in the Bible to not judge other people? So why are you? The comments of people on this site also show little respect you have for anyone but yourselves. Maybe it would be a good time to refamiliarize yourselves with the Ten Commandants or are they too outdated for you?

      May I interrupt the impromptu Inquisition to ask how what church Mr. Beck prefers is relevant to…anything other than theology—which is not really an area he regularly speaks about? If he ever talked about how everybody should be Mormon, then maybe you’d have something resembling a point, but in lieu of that let’s drop the needless (artificial) divisions between “us” and “them Mormons”, please.

      The truth will NEVER prevail as long as the Liberals control the media. They warp the truth and model it into their own vision of what they think the world should look like, some form of “SOCIALIST UTOPIA”.

      I hate to tell those blithering idiots, pure Socialism doesn’t work and it never will. Just look at the government created Socialist Utopias of the inner city areas of every major city in America.

      The residents of the former USSR had a saying and it is true even today: “The Government pretends to pay us and we pretend to work.” Mankind, for the most part, is inherently lazy and people will find ways to shun responsibility and use every means available to avoid working. You see this in most every government office where employees look like a slo-mo replay of a sporting event. They won’t bust their butts because the pay remains the same whether they handle 100 problems a day or just 10. THAT’S SOCIALISM! That‘s why socialism won’t work. That‘s why BIG GOVERNMENT created in the progressive’s and socialist’s model is and always will be a failure.

    Liberals are at Stage 2 of their lives – the teen stage. During the Teen Stage, one would do anything to be the same as The Group; they have to dress the same, think the same, hang-out together…. One has to have further experience and the brain to think in order to grow into the next stage in life – Family First Stage. So, basically, the older Liberals may be book smart, but they cannot think and grow out of that Teen Stage yet.
