Rather than direct confrontation, change the paradigm.
Beck is inside the OODA loop.

It’s a good starting point.
Every society needs a sound foundation on which to build. Man needs to be tethered by natural law not his own whims.

Beck realizes the problem is much more than just ridding ourselves
of communist representatives, senators, and the president;
we must change the hearts and minds of the people who put them there.

Very good.

My comment to those that wondered what was Beck’s point?

“If you have to ask...”

If Beck is so strong on the religion and moral part -- then why did he come out in support of same-sex marriage instead of what the Bible says:

 
Marriage = One Man and One Woman

Beck is a beacon of hope and light. The left is literally pooping in it’s pants over what he’s accomplishing.

Now, everytime somebody bashes religion or the right or the constitution or America herself - it makes them look like mega hate mongers, treasonous and AGAINST the people.

Thanks for your insight. Beck’s got it right. Unify Americans on “both sides”. That’s where the power of America comes from.

I’ll say this: I’ve never seen the so called ‘Civil Rights Movment’ ever put back on its heels like Glen Beck just did. Beck simultaneously gave them a big fat target but, there was nothing to attack. It’s like he’s created this huge untouchable and unmovable object that has the creates lots of energy but, has the mass of shaving cream. It can’t be attacked becuase there’s no ‘there’, there. On the other hand it’s both substantial, significant, and growing.

He didn’t take on the left as much as he envloped them. It wasn’t only on that phony Al Sharpton Civil rights stuff, either. He trumped them with his rhetorical religion and his economic message as well. The movement can’t be labeled which is the strength of it.

I knew with Obama’s election, politics would change. While this is true in all presidential elections, it is especially true here. By gaininng their ultimate prize in the form of a black president, the left is now weakened rhetorically. In a real way, they should be proud of this fact. In makes no sense to play the victim card when there no longer is a victim. Beck has exploited this pleasant truth beautifully.

God can be invoked in public places by citizens, who vote and assemble and speak and freely exercise their religion. They are supposed to be too browbeaten to do this. Gathering hundreds of thousands of them to peaceably assemble shows they are not. But showing that the people who believe in God and practice their religion are fellow-citizens who share political and economic values with majorities of Americans is a critical step.

Oh, the "Moral Majority"....never heard of it.

Well,
I think it is high time that you told us who Pablo is
and what makes him so wily.

Beck is unabashed that God can be invoked in public places by citizens, who vote and assemble and speak and freely exercise their religion. They are supposed to be too browbeaten to do this.

I think you are right on; we HAVE been too browbeaten to do any of the things that free people should be doing -- praying in public, exercising rights, being proud of this country. The left has done an excellent job FOR DECADES at keeping freedom-loving people quiet -- because THEY'RE the experts -- they know best how to govern, how to teach our kids, how to be an American.

But I think a corner has been turned. I think we're in the middle of another Great Awakening and the forces of darkness are going to go nuts now. But let them. The forces of light ALWAYS conquer the darkness -- if enough people carry the light inside them.
