    No facts, just calling him stupid… and then saying that they shouldn’t call each other names? What? More backwards talk!

    Glenn cry‘s because he see’s the TRUTH! If you were in the presence of God and all the knowledge in the world… You would cry too! (yes that was an over dramatization remark) However I believe that is what ail’s Glenn. I know this because since I have found God. I cry… I cry when I pray! I cry when I see evil destroy more of this country! It IS heartbreaking! And THAT doesn’t make me or Glenn stupid or ignorant. The truth, the light, will set us free! And one day these men from “media matters” will cry, and break down. I pray I am there to see it!

    We love you Glenn, and we see the truth!

    I find it tricky to terminate a black man for having a white man’s opinion. It’s easier said than done but NPR pulled it off. After getting the SOROS check cleared by the bank the promises are coming to the surface. Fire everybody that touches Fox. Start with the ***** guy, what’s his name? He’s been agreeing with the American people again, just enough to pass the termination case. SOROS has just started but it really doesn’t matter, he’s done, just not out of money yet. You see Juan was a friend of mine. We didn’t agree much but we have the same opinion about a man having an opinion. Speak up, let everybody hear it.

    An article by Eric Boehlert of Media Matters within which he blames right wing conservatives for the assassination of President Kennedy.

    “A President was killed the last time right-wing hatred ran wild like this”

    “But I‘ve been thinking about Dallas in 1963 because I’ve been recalling the history and how that city stood as an outpost for the radical right, which never tried to hide its contempt for the New England Democrat.”

    http://mediamatters.org/blog/200909180004

    Incidentally, Media Matters is a brainchild of Hilliary Clinton and George Soros.

      Eric Boehlert of Media Matters is an idiot.

      The only shooter that the Warren Commission was able to pin it on was Lee Harvey Oswald. A well known Communist and radical at the time.

      From http://www.fiftiesweb.com/kennedy/lee-harvey-oswald.htm

      “According to the Warren Report, “Oswald was trained in the use of the M-1 rifle. His practice scores were not very good, but when his company fired for record on December 21, he scored 212, 2 points above the score necessary to qualify as a “sharpshooter” on a marksman/sharpshooter/expert scale.”

      During his time in the Marines, he became enamored of the Soviet Union and communist ideology. Because of his stated intention to renounce his U.S citizenship, Oswald received an “undesirable discharge” from the Marine Corps Reserve.

      Oswald went to Russia with the original intention of defecting, found the living wasn’t too easy and came home in 1962. He brought with him a wife, Marina (Nikolayevna Prusakova) Oswald and they would have two children: June Lee Oswald (born Feb. 15, 1961), Audrey Marina Rachel Oswald (born Oct. 20, 1963).

      The couple moved to Texas. While living in there his wife Marina says that he told her he had shot at former Marine General Edwin Walker. Indeed, a shot was fired into the ultraconservative Walker’s home, narrowly missing him. Oswald told his wife he did it because Walker was an extremist who deserved to die.”

      He doesn’t fit the MO of a Tea Party Patriot does he?

    Why? Why do they make these claims and call these names but fail to show the reason for it? With the miles and miles of tape and footage available of Beck or Fox, why don’t they back up their claims with some evidence? Someone needs to let them know that saying it does not make it so, no matter how much they would like it to be true.

    Here are a few names for you…CLUELESS/SHAMEFUL LEFTISTS. Good try…but we aren’t buying it anymore!
    Psalm 35: 1 – 28 Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me. Take up shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid. Brandish spear and javelin against those who pursue me. Say to my soul, I am your salvation. May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plot my ruin be turned back in dismay. May they be like chaff before the wind, with the angel of the Lord driving them away; may their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord pursuing them. Since they hid their net for me without cause and without cause dug a pit for me, may ruin overtake them by surprise – may the net they hid entangle them, may they fall into the pit, to their ruin. Then my soul will rejoice in the Lord and delight in his salvation. My whole being will exclaim, Who is like you, O Lord? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them. Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about. They repay me evil for good and leave my soul forlorn. Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered, I went about mourning as though for my friend or brother. I bowed my head in grief as though weeping for my mother. But when I stumbled, they gathered in glee; attackers gathered against me when I was unaware. They slandered me without ceasing. Like the ungodly they maliciously mocked; they gnashed their teeth at me. O Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my life from their ravages, my precious life from these lions. I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among throngs of people I will praise you. Let not those gloat over me who are my enemies without cause; let not those who hate me without reason maliciously wink the eye. They do not speak peaceably, but devise false accusations against those who live quietly in the land. They gape at me and say, Aha! Aha! With our own eyes we have seen it. O Lord, you have seen this; be not silent. Do not be far from me, O Lord. Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my God and Lord. Vindicate me in your righteousness, O Lord my God; do not let them gloat over me. Do not let them think, Aha, just what we wanted! or say, We have swallowed him up. May all who gloat over my distress be put to shame and confusion; may all who exalt themselves over me be clothed with shame and disgrace. May those who delight in my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, The Lord be exalted, who delights in the well-being of his servant. My tongue will speak of your righteousness and of your praises all day long.

      Mary, this is absolutely wonderful! Thank you for the time it took to type it out for all of us.
      With your permission, may I suggest that we print out a copy and recite it silently when we go to vote, (or before), then fold it up and put it in an inconspicuous place where it will remain undisturbed throughout election day.
      Or, as I am asking people to do, go to your polling place BEFORE THE ELECTION and pray in your own words that God will defray EVERY ARROW aimed against Him and this Nation.
      If you want to, also bring a copy of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address…This Nation shall NOT perish from the face of the Earth.

      As for Glen Beck, I see him as our modern day Paul Revere! May God bless him abundantly!

I have watched shows on MSNBC that tell a story then show their evidience and the clip they show has nothing to do with what they are talking about. Fox is fair and balanced as I see it.

    The Ant and the Grasshopper, revised edition

    The following is the Democratic “common good” version of the old favorite, the Ant and the Grasshopper:

    Remember the ant and the grasshopper?

    OLD VERSION . . .

    The ant works hard, in the withering heat, all summer long.
    He builds his house and stores supplies for the winter.

    The grasshopper thinks that the ant is a fool.
    He laughs, dances and plays the summer away, preparing nothing for the coming winter.

    Winter comes, the ant is safe and warm.
    The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

    The moral to the story being: BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF!

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    NEW VERSION . . . (sad but true)

    The ant works hard, in the withering heat, all summer long.
    He builds his house and stores supplies for the winter.

    The grasshopper thinks that the ant is a fool.
    He laughs, dances and plays the summer away, preparing nothing for the coming winter.

    Winter comes, the ant is safe and warm.
    The shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and fed, while others are cold and starving!

    CBS, NBC, ABC & CNN show up to provide pictures of shivering grasshoppers, next to a video of an ant
    in his comfortable home, with a table filled with food.

    America is stunned by the sharp contrast! How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor
    grasshopper is allowed to suffer this way?

    Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah, with the grasshopper.
    Everyone cries when they sing “It’s Not Easy Being Green”.

    Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house, where the news stations film the group
    singing “We Shall Overcome”.
    Jesse then has the group pray for the grasshopper’s sake, and reminds the group to contribute to his group, so that he can “continue the fight” for grasshoppers, everywhere!

    Ted Kennedy & John Kerry exclaim, in an interview with Tom Brokaw, that the ant has gotten rich, off
    the back of the poor grasshopper!
    Both call for an immediate tax hike, to make the ant pay “his fair share”!

    Finally, the EEOC drafts the “Economic Equity For Grasshoppers Act”, retroactive to the beginning of the
    summer.

    The ant is fined for failing to hire the proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to
    pay his retroactive taxes, his house is confiscated by the government.

    Hillary Clinton gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper, in a defamation suit against the ant.
    The case is tried in federal court, with a jury comprised of unemployed welfare recipients.

    Surprise! The ant loses the case!

    The story ends, as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant’s food, while the government house he lives in (which happens to be the ant’s old house) crumbles around him,
    due to lack of maintenance!

    The ant has disappeared in the snow.
    The grasshopper is found, dead, in a drug-related incident.
    The house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders, who terrorize this once-peaceful neighborhood.

    The moral of this version? Don’t vote for Democrats or liberals.

      When you have scum in the pond, you don’t go in the pond! When you have scum in politics, you work very hard to defeat them and sending them packing back to the SCUMMY POND WHERE THEY CRAWLED OUT! Media Matters and anyone or thing related to Scummy Soros, belongs in the scum pond!

      As much as I would like to take credit for the new version I am not the author of it, I am not sure who actually Re-wrote the story, I do agree it is spot on for what is happening in our country right now.

      The ending of the modern version will take place in November 2012, except that the new president won’t be a gang of spiders, and the outgoing prez will be the dead grasshopper!

      Love the ant story, I created one of my own based on the Itsy Bitsy Spider.
      The Story of the Itsy Bitsy Spider as told by
      Conservative and Progressive/Liberals

      The Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the waterspout, down came the rain and washed the spider out. The Itsy Bitsy Spider contacted his local Conservative government official and was told there was no aid available to help him with his problem. So the Itsy Bitsy Spider went back up the waterspout, made it to the top on his own and now runs a multi-billion dollar rain deflecting waterspout company.

      The Itsy Bitsy Spider went up the waterspout, down came the rain and washed the spider out. The Itsy Bitsy Spider contacted his local Progressive/Liberal government official and was told how unfair it was that the rain had done that to him. The Itsy Bitsy Spider was promised immediate government relief. The government official held a press conference at the waterspout to complain about the rain and how unfair the rain was to the poor Itsy Bitsy Spider. The official called for a boycott of rain and wrote a 1,000 page bill to stop the rain from washing poor defenseless spiders out of waterspouts. After weeks of debate the bill passed and was signed into law, no more rain was allowed down waterspouts, of course since you can’t stop the rain the government came in and removed all the waterspouts. Unfortunately, this cost the government Trillions, so they had to raise taxes to pay for all the waterspout removals. The Itsy Bitsy Spider’s taxes went so high he could no longer afford to live in his neighborhood where food was plentiful, so he moved his family to a run down overcrowded neighborhood where the food supply was scarce. The Itsy Bitsy Spider once again contacted his local Progressive/Liberal government official and complained about his circumstances. The Official could not believe him and immediately launched a congressional investigation. This of course took months to complete and cost millions of dollars. In the end the findings of the congressional investigation showed that the problem was a lack of waterspouts. So the waterspout bill was repealed and waterspouts once again began to appear on homes. The winners in all this: the government official who received kickbacks from the waterspout makers and the waterspout makers who were now 10 times richer than before the waterspout bill. And our Itsy Bitsy Spider, well he is still too poor to move back to his old neighborhood.

      Moral of the story: Self determination and good old fashioned hard work will always produce a personal reward, reliance on government will always cost more, produce less and leave you indebted to others.

      Original story writer unknown, Conservative/Liberal version by Mark Sykes

      AH HAHAHAAHAHA ,,, Just lovely! Although I find it amusing, this true-to-life parable will certainly tee-off liberals in context of ‘The Truth Hurts’; yet, they should realize, in mindset of Hope & Change, that “The truth shall set you free’ — learning real ‘change’ stems from within — but don’t hold your breath. Still, pray such realization will mirror their very existence of so-called ‘good deeds’ is not good at all.

      Hmmm, with space travel tourism upcoming, it would be great should liberals be the first to hop aboard to get away from patritoic Americans who make them sick! Oh Happy Day! Of course the space capsule would only carry the elite of their sect, who are the ones abusing entrusted power. Lord, I hope so in Good Riddance!.

      I find the bizarre “conscienceless” attack of Left media against Glenn Beck very scary. The Bible makes it very clear that there will come a time when those who speak the truth will be attacked. That time for Glenn Beck has already arrived and is so true to the time that we live. Calling him stupid! With 15 million + viewers watching him every day, I wonder who are the real stupid ones.
      What a bunch of emotional gossipers? At least Glenn doesn’t use Emotional Blackmailing and Lies to boost him like them, he backs up everything he says with evidence, a sign of a good student. So the ‘left wing gossip media’ is so far out of touch with reality and so far below Glenn Beck’s integrity and professionalism, no wonder they look and sound so miserable.
      You are what you shine out. When I see and hear what Glenn Beck shines out and I compare it to the
      the “emotional blackmailers” then I thank God for Glenn beck. Glenn Beck’s name will be written in the history books one day. Those puppets who so viciously attack him, who are so typical of sheep, will eventually fall into their own pit of nothingness. I thank God for Glenn Beck. What a man?

      I truely enjoyed your tale unforunately those that should read (all the welfare receiving grasshoppers ) do not posses the intellect to see the humor of it or charactor enough to be offended by it. As for the those that make the laws that would displace the ant and the programs that would provide for the grasshopper, THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANY OF THE ANTS OR THE OUT COME.

      Faulty analogy.

      This suggests that everyone who needs aid or help spent all summer doing nothing. I work my ass off and sometimes I can’t make ends meet.

      And you bet your sweet ass that owner of the company I work for is getting rich off the backs of me and the thousands of workers like me who work 40 to 50 hours a week for less than 8 dollars an hour.

      The original story I grew up with ends with the ant showing charity letting the grasshopper into his house and explaining him the errors of his ways while the gratefull grasshopper provides him with musical entertainment.
      I like that ending better than your angry one.
      We are good, charitable people. We would not let the grasshopper die in the cold.
      The biggest crime of socialism is that it deprives people to make their judgements and decisions, deprives them from both the ability and the opportunity to do good the way they see fit.
      Private charity makes society better, public ‘charity’ (expropriation and squandering) destrys it. That is the moral of these stories.

      Pretty close, but you skipped a few steps of how the Progressives got started. The grasshopper after the first winter came begging from the ant for enough food to get him through the winter and promised he wouldn’t squander the next summer. The ant felt sorry for him and gave of his own free will to the grasshopper. The next summer the grasshopper once again squandered the summer and got married, had kids and produced nothing for winter. Then the grasshopper comes again begging the ant for food bcause his family is starving and they can’t survive the winter without help. The ant feelign sorry for the family finally gives in, but makes the grasshopper promise that he will work and save up food for the next winter. The grasshopper promises, and receives the food. The next summer the grasshopper’s children have children and all the sudden the grasshoppers are much larger then the ant villiage can sustain and have enough food for them, but then the grasshoppers no longer come begging for food, but demanding it. Then the later part of your story happens.

      To Atheist, If your boss is not paying you enough then find a new job with someone who is willing to pay you what your worth. As you said it your employer has given jobs to thousands of people, which in this economy is a good thing. He may be getting rich, but he could also be squeeking by. Some people live a rich lifestyle even if they aren’t rich enough to afford it. Some live within their means and make good decisions. The fact of the matter is though that either your boss or his predecessor or their predecessor or somewhere down the line someone took a risk and started that business. If you are saying they don’t deserve to be rich for taking that risk then you are as bad as liberals. The story of the grasshopper does not suggest that everyone is the grasshopper who needs help. This story is only two select groups, but as everyoen knows there are hundres if not thousands of different groups in America alone. This story doesn‘t talk about the vets who lost their arms and legs in a war and couldn’t work no matter how much they try. It doesn’t talk about people like you who are barely making it in the world and need help every once in a while. Nor does it talk about the mother having a child out of wedlock because of bad decisions as a teen, but is going to school to better herself and barely eeking by, or the person working 2 jobs to keep food on the table for their family. There are many ants and many grasshoppers in this workd, but for every ant or grasshopper there is a beetle, a locust, a bee and every other insect you can think of.
