I guess Van Jones, the CCX, Anita Dunn, Cass Sunstein, Jeff Jones, ACORN, Trumka, Stern, Soros and all the expose’(s)
on the far Leftists and the US history was worthless?
Panic? He said to buy gold back in 2007. Gold today is nearly $1,800 per ounce. Anthony Weiner went on the House floor to decry Glenn Beck as a shyster as Weiner signed trillions of spending bills. Irony.
Beck gathered up the TEA Party and made it real. His 9-28 event was over 500K, I was there, trust me.
I signed up for his pay site and long-term he will be on broadcast TV from Texas. NY and CT were too “taxing” for his $30MM annual income.
You hate Beck, I like him.
You are absolutely right. Glenn always said, “do your own homework”. Well, I did and he was right about about everything he said. Personally, I think Glenn has been the Paul Revere of our times. God bless Glenn Beck.
What really dissapoints me, however, is those on the right who claim to be conservative yet seemingly enjoy denouncing Beck. I think what motivates them is the knowledge that if Glenn is right it means that something might be required of them. They know that if the country and the world are really in the dire straits that Glenn portrays, then they might have to step outside their comfort zone and actually take action. It is simply easier for nominal conservatives like these to ridicule the messenger.
Yet, as others have said many of us have seen all of this coming just as Glenn Beck has. He has simply been the one to trumpet it from a national stage. The fact that some on the right choose to join the left in ridiculing Beck says nothing about Beck but everything about themselves.
These people may talk a good game and exhibit the outward appearance of a conservative, yet when the chips are down they turn out to have no real conviction at all. Their "conviction" evaporates the moment acting upon it would inconvenience them in any way. They love to play conservative when it gives them license to criticize liberals (rightfully so, of course) but suddenly fall prey to the "normalcy bias" when the truly dire nature of our situation is revealed.
Everything that Glenn Beck has spoken about has already been right before our eyes if we have had them open. There are unfortunately some who become wilfully blind once they glimpse the truth.
By the way, the one point that Glenn has made that I think is more important than any other is his contention that nothing else matters unless "We the People" are focused first upon God. Our founders knew this; they knew that a system that would give the people unprecedented freedom would lead not to freedom but instead to anarchy and then tyrrany if it was populated by people who were not focused on God. All of the politics in the world won't solve our current problems unless we return to a focus on God and stop relying on our own shifting notions of what constitutes "morality", notions that ultimately guide our policy decisions. Without an immutable, external moral code (God and his Word) our system will simply not work no matter what else we do.

Glenn is a Ron Paulite. Constantly says he is the only guy he likes running. Enough said. Even when Stu and the other guy cite the odd positions of Paul, he sticks with him. Enough said.
