Hi.
You’re better at getting that out, CC. Do you have some of those links and info still that you could post here for some that might not remember?
Please?
Those were mostly on the old hard drive that crashed but they’re all in the archives here on the FR Glenn Beck TV threads.

“2. Propaganda must be planned and executed by only one authority.”
The father of lies, of course.
The Church Lady called him Satan.
Saul Alinsky dedicated a whole book to him.
Bernays advocated manipulation of people, and called it democratic.
To me, democracy represents free people, with some semblance of self governance, as opposed to fascism.
It’s pathetic how “progressives” can call their evil garbage democracy, and morons think it is “good”.
I had a spirited discussion with a young product of America’s “MMM” system recently.
MMM = Marxist moron mill = public school and big university.
He told me that old Stalin USSR responsible for all of the death was “state capitalism”, so that is why capitalism is so bad.
Thank you.
You know, I had a couple of hard drive crashes during the Beck show days.
