People gathered Saturday in DC at the Lincoln Memorial as part of an event that Glenn Beck was hosting. The rally was a hybrid neocon pep rally/religious revival, consisting of pictures on a giant TV screen of famous moments from American history, along with inspirational music, waving flags, and talk of destiny and God from a loudmouth Fox News preacher who hides the insincerity in his eyes behind a thick layer of glasses while weeping in breathy sobs to mask his laughter.
A speaker at the event even said "Glenn Beck is one of America's most trusted and honored citizens."
With Beck being inserted into the mainstream consciousness as the "patriot" opposition to Barack Obama and his gang of globalist thugs, so many who now wave the Gadsden flag and give lip service to the Constitution watch Beck with fawning adoration, having forgotten or choosing to ignore the kind of person the man really is.
Just a few years ago Glenn Beck implied that Ron Paul supporters were dangerous potential terrorists, contributing to the mainstream media marginalization of Paul's campaign in favor of neocon candidates like John McCain and Mitt Romney who advocated more war and more loss of civil liberties. Beck also led the swarm on grassroots Constitutionalist candidate for TX governor Debra Medina in a calculated attempt to knock the feet out from under her campaign before she could outshine the mainstream Republicans in the primary.
Even in non-political settings and non-9/11 related issues Beck has shown contempt for average people he considers himself superior to. A good example of this is an old segment on his radio show called "Moron Trivia" in which he would call convenience stores and ask the beleaguered workers there trivial questions about current issues while secretly ridiculing them to his audience. Though Glenn Beck gleefully pretended he was doing the cruel segment against his own will, the fact is that if he truly didn't want to do it, he wouldn't have. It's much like a sadistic husband beating his wife, all the while voicing his regret over what her actions are making him do.
Sinclair Lewis once said, "When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Though Beck talks of God and stopping injustice, he advocates the hazardous and bloody neocon foreign policies that have killed countless innocents, made America more hated around the world, and further weakened our national security. Indeed, Glenn Beck's establishment-backed rise as a "patriot leader" is simply Plan B for shepherding the patriot movement back to the fake left/right machine, and channeling public outrage at Obama's actions as President into a form that can be manipulated and controlled...the same way Obama did for liberals who opposed the actions of George W. Bush.
Manipulating the people of a country that have been the victims of psyops over and over again, and who are looking for leaders to believe in, is not only self-serving, but mean. Because Beck has the showmanship and organizational backing to pull off his deception he has decided to take his thirty pieces of silver and proudly display them as "Godly."
Some are falling for it. Many others are not.
The only accidentally true statement Glenn Beck uttered during his speech at the rally is something he said when talking about World War 2 and the memorial in DC "You cannot coexist with evil."
Perhaps a few activists in 9/11 Truth shirts should have shown up at Beck's rally. (If any did, I don't know.) That way some real patriotism and justice could be injected into Beck's adoring mob.

Not unlike the 'creepy revival' held in '63, n'est-ce pas?
Hey there, war...just wondering if you have any evidence whatsoever that justifies linking the TeaParty gatherings with WhiteSupremicist groups of the past? Or R U simply spewing more HATEFUL LIES like the RAT-minions R trained 2 do? TheTruth is what frightens BigGuv'ment Obamabots the most...MUD
Keith Olbermann said it;
I hear that when yer diagnosed with Obamabotulism, the first thing that goes is yer critical thinkin'...MUD
The same can be said for knee-jerk opposition.
Knee-jerk NOTHING, ma'am...you could see his Marxist Agenda coming from months/miles away. And don't get me wrong, McStain wouldda been almost as bad, maybe even a li'l worse on account of a lotta folks figgering warmed-over Milquetoast Moderate-ism is gonna be the best we can ever hope for. At least now, folks see that the Marxist Obamabots are totally serious about HATING FreeMarketCapitalism and we gotta stand up and fight back or forever be ashamed to tell our grandkids that it was OUR Generation that allowed Tyranny to Triumph and to herald in our Orwellian future...MUD
"Marxist Agenda" - that's one of them knee jerk thingies. Marxist Obamabots are totally serious about HATING FreeMarketCapitalism and we gotta stand up and fight back or forever be ashamed to tell our grandkids that it was OUR Generation that allowed Tyranny to Triumph and to herald in our Orwellian future... Together Uncle Milt and Pinochet proved to the world that tyranny and capitalism can get along just fine.
Sending all this money and power to DeeCee is exactly what we need to fight against, ma'am...Federal solutions to State and Local needs are what got us into this mess...we need to cut the Feds off to the greatest extent achievable and let the various States address the needs of their citizens as they see fit...MUD
The problem is that DeeCee is sending more money out than is coming in. Federal solutions to State and Local needs are what got us into this mess...we need to cut the Feds off to the greatest extent achievable and let the various States address the needs of their citizens as they see fit Considering that California sends more tax dollars to DeeCee than it gets back (way more than enough to cover our deficit) that would work out well for us. Its them red states that would be in trouble.

No, ma'am, the problem is that DeeCee subsidizes failure while punishing success (as a Progressive Principle) and we create these humongous centralized bureaucracies that accomplish NOTHING other than to finance these luxurious lifestyles of the InsideTheBeltway RATS/RINOS Ruling Class. If Kalifornia is getting screwed (like NooYawk and Taxachusetts allegedly are), you oughtta be at the forefront of those who insist that the absurdly-inefficient and incompetent Federal Leviathan remove itself from every aspect of our lives other than those very few responsibilities allowed it in the United States Constitution. C'mon, lady, join me in telling DeeCee to GIT the HELL outta our lives!!
