The best of Glenn Beck

Oligarchy, Mr. Beck.      

Not to usurp, but Jafo's probably getting supper a shower and some sack time.

Mr. Beck is a wing nut of the "Way out there" variety, and not worth missing any of those over.

Made me think of the Farting Preacher - just without the 'air'.....

Anyone not listening to at least the FACTS that Beck brings to the forefront is a fool... imo.

I could care less about his occasional somewhat bizarre behaviour.

then that would mean not trusting any politician

exactly.. everyone is quirky in their own way.. no reason to dismiss what he is bringing up.

Anyone mistaking what he spouts as "fact" probably thinks "Alice in Wonderland" the new Encyclopedia Brittanica.

His behavior is as exaggerated as his self esteem. He is bizarre.

Absolutely. The more closely they are observed and tracked, the safer we are.

I find it amzaing that along with presenting his 'facts' he has to throw in that there is a movement that he has started, 912.  The very thing that this country doesn't need is another group of folks that are going to watch people aka politicians.

Every person that is a citizen of the U.S. all ready is a member in a bigger movement or group of people, it's called...............wait for now...........Americans.  Lets see how many millions of members are out there.  It's hard to imagine and believe that several thousand other people called Politicians throught out this country can not understand who is thier employer.  Yes it is an employer worker relationship that we are talking about. 

If you ran a business, corporation or the like if the workers were not doing you bidding as you wanted you would replace them, wouldn't you?  Here's something else to consider, if we are the employers in this discussion, aren't we, the millions of Americans really responsible for what the thounds of workers where allowed to do?  chew on that gum for awhile.

Yes it is a strange way of looking at things, but come on folks, we can fix the problems, we outnumber the Politicians!  Go ahead and do the math.  Just don't take too long.

Isn't that supposed to be the purpose of the press? Aren't the politicians supposed to be accountable to the American people?

That's true, but it is the job of "We the People" to watch them. Closely.

That's an oxymoron.

I have to work on this a bit, the Policiticans who are accountable to the Amercian People are going to looked at by the Press. Who are the press accountable to? 

If the Press is also accountable to the American People because they are our watch dogs over the Politicians, then there are some more folks that need to be looking for a job.

Actually? That's a completemoron.

Correct. High time we demand and force much greater transparancy from government. Their arrogance needs punitive correction.

Well, knock the guy, matters not to me.. I know what is right and what is wrong.. he just conveys the facts.. most of them can be verified via any number of sources. behaving oddly is human imo.

I find it amusing that as soon as someone posts anything beck, you lot just cannot help yourselves from bashing him.

a little afraid of the truth methinks.

Regardless, trying to discuss it with bleeding hearts is futile, so back to PS for me.

btw..

Doc, no offense but your starting to come accross like you have the definitive end answer to all subjects in all areas.

Yeah, Like the CARS program is a government plot to take your computer and all of your property.  Sounds like 'facts' to me.  Or how about them FEMA Camps?  Or how about those not so clever Nazi references he is so fond of making?  Face it, Beck is a lying loon.

/GET OFF MY PHONE!11!!

I don't John. Beck really leaves me cold with his phoney airs, and phonier facts.

I have my opinions about health care and insurance. After 30+ years of first hand experience and seeing people crushed and ignored, I figure I've earned them. Sweat equity.

I do feel that in that area mine hold more weight than someone without my experiences.

You're entitled to yours also, and when it comes to graphics, skinning, and all tied to that, I bow to yours.

We agree on some things, but on others we disagree. Sounds reasonable to me.

And if you feel differently, pm me. Let's keep it from becoming ad hominum. I think we've been friendly too long for that

Fox news is not, it is Fox entertainment. these people are entertainers, not serious newscasters. their purpose seems to be to incite and IMHO are a extreame white wing joke.

'Incite' and 'white wing joke' - have you heard any of Jeremiah Wright speeches?

Disagreeing and saying everyone who has opposing points to yours are wing nuts are two different things.

and its not just healthcare in question.

As far as PMing.. if something distresses me in public, thats where I prefer to air it.

From the Zen and Buddhism Dictionary on Truth:
Truth: That which is believed to be, not necessarily what really is (fact).

And my favorite saying, "Perception is everything".  Why live in a world of "truth" and "facts" when a good fantasy trumps reality anyday of the week?  Reality is too stressful...it makes me anxious and uncomfortable. 

I've decided to change the characters in my barbershop quartet.  I'm replacing Neal Boortz with Bill O'Reilly.  NO WAIT...I don't want them to be a barbershop quartet -- I want to watch Glenn Beck fight it out in a cage match with Keith Obermann! 

...because none of this stuff really matters, John.  I thought you experienced the hurricanes of 2004, too.  That experience alone taught me all what truly matters in my life is right now, right here in this house, in my neighborhood, and the friends I know.  Nature can happen in violent way, and when the power goes out, all you really have is your family, friends and neighbors.  The government and the news media aren't even seen until 2 weeks later...and everything they promised doesn't really seem to pan out the way they made it sound when they said it.

Whatever. You like him? I don't. Does anyone care? Not really. How important is all this? Is my opinion in politics "right" and yours "wrong"? No. You're entitled to yours and I, mine.

Jeremiah Wright? Where did that come from? Don't like him much either, Hankers.

For those of u bashing, Fox, Beck, O' Reilly, Hannity etc... please.. answer this.. why are they completely dominating the ratings?

Why are the Obama admin's poll numbers sinking like a mob hit victim in the Jersey river?

Its all falling apart.

Because leftists and democrats read books, instead of watching TV or listening to the radio.
