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
So you are now saying that Obama was actually the lesser of two evils? LOLOL You crack me up.
Not exactly what I said, but in retrospect, I'm not sure the TeaParties wouldda been as heavily-attended if McStain wouldda won in 2008. Hey MG, I've been supporting the down-sizing of the Federal Leviathan since the mid-90's, and all I've seen is continuous growth no matter if Clinton, Bush, or Obama are sitting in the White House. Finally, the numbers of WeThePeople who are noticing has increased since the ObamaNation took over DeeCee, and I'm just looking to make lemonade outta these lemons we've been dealt...MUD
Yet I only see the lemons squeezers out in force when they are out of power.
Not sure what that's referencing exactly, but I do know I have always been out of Power and have ALWAYS preached fiscal conservatism, much to the chagrin of my Bushbot buddies over on FR back in the day...MUD
She's saying 12 years ago you were energized by Slick Willy. So was I. Now we've got millions energized by the Messiah. It won't make any difference. The system is rigged.
Looking back, it was never all about Slick Willie, it was the fact that a member of the Ruling Class could get away with the crimes I am convinced he committed. To me, you just can't see EVIL and NOT stand up boldly against it, and what Clinton authorized at Waco was EEEVIL!! What Der SchleekMeister did in terms of nuclear-arming the Chi-Coms in exchange for campaign contributions was not only criminal, it was TREASONOUS!! Then Dubyuh turned out to be the Milquetoast Moderate I figgered him fer when I supported SteveForbes in '00...acorn don't fall far from the PapaBush when it comes to being a RINO vis a vis the unconstitutional growth of the Federal Leviathan. The RAT-Messiah is simply taking it to a whole 'nother level, and I'm glad others are finally catching on...MUD
China has had the bomb since the 60s. The Soviets got them started but they finished the job on their own. By the time Clinton came along they had been nuclear armed for decades.
China has had the bomb since the 60s. The Soviets got them started but they finished the job on their own. By the time Clinton came along they had been nuclear armed for decades. An alternative view:
"Initially, government attorneys said Lee had stolen the "crown jewels" of U.S. nuclear weaponry science and intended to turn them over to a foreign power. But the government was eventually forced to acknowledge that the material was marked "restricted" rather than classified "top secret" and that "99 percent" of the material was already available to the public."
Link?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wen_Ho_Lee Here's another: www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/law/july-dec00/lee_8-25.html WALTER PINCUS: The prosecutor said so and also because there was testimony from an FBI agent that Lee had downloaded it clandestinely and had actually lied about what he was doing to one of his colleagues, saying he was using it for a resume. It turned out that's not what the colleague testified. And that was a very key piece of data for the judge this time. Second thing is they brought forward a really respected Los Alamos physicist named John Richter who raised questions about whether the material that Lee had was all that -- not useful -- material that had not been released before. He claimed 99 percent of it was available elsewhere. Also, your link identifies Wen Ho Lee as an "ethnic Chinese", was that to establish a tie with China while avoiding the fact that Wen Ho Lee was born and raised in Taiwan?
Could someone born in Taiwan be sympathetic to mainland China?

What about the remaining 1 percent?

He claimed 99 percent of it was available elsewhere.
What about the other 1 percent? Also, your link identifies Wen Ho Lee as an "ethnic Chinese", was that to establish a tie with China while avoiding the fact that Wen Ho Lee was born and raised in Taiwan?
So what? Can anyone know absolutely the motives of another?
