If you are an American, I don't care which party you are a member of (well, except maybe the Communist party). For just this week only, and I don't care if you like him or not, you need to watch Glenn Beck on Fox News. I only ask this week (the end of August). For both fans and non-fans, your duty is to have a notepad and take notes. This is to verify or disprove what he asks and says this week.
This is important. He has uncovered quite an interesting and disturbing thing happening to our nation. He is having Democrats on his show who are just as concerned about what is happening as are the conservatives on his show. This isn't some sort of Republican rant. In fact, he is just as angry with them as he is those that are selling out our country with a nefarious goal in mind. He holds everyone (that is) responsible in this case.
Frankly, he's rattling his sword and the government is trying everything to discredit and silence him. Which is a very good sign he's on to something that is true.
Glenn asks you to prove him right or prove him wrong. It's so important you know the truth he challenges you to do it out of duty as a citizen of the USA. He doesn't claim perfection, nor does he ask you take his word for it on everything. He tells you he came to know this and backs up his claims with the truth. No belittling, no slander, no so-called "hate speech", no racism, just the facts and some very hard hitting questions.
So far, he has exposed the fact that our President has appointed self-admitted Marxists to be his "Czars" and such, and that the "Apollo Group" wrote the "Stimulus" package. Yeah, a group of people with Marxist values wrote our economic stimulus for our capitalist economy. What doesn't add up here? Since when have Communists known anything about capitalist economies? Glenn's research shows that they want high unemployment, and large debt, so it overwhelms the government with welfare and debt to cause it to collapse. All the "stimulus" has done so far is to increase unemployment and fund organizations like Apollo. So, the "stimulus" was written to stimulate Apollo with taxpayer funds.
Set you DVRs for this show at least for this week. Inside Passage, I know this will be hard for you, but hear him out. Pay less attention to his personality and more attention to what he is asking and saying.
To give you a hint at how important this is. Yesterday I heard something I would not have believed would happen ever, no matter even if Jimmy Carter were President. Rush Limbaugh, ultra-conservative, finally came out with what we all knew, and he was not happy saying it. Rush Limbaugh called our government, as Obama has finalized it, not a socialist government, but a fascist government.
This is not about race, so get over it. It's about what is being done to our Republic.

Those that missed it: go to Blenn Beck's web site and watch the videos you missed this week to catch up. Prove him wrong, I challenge you.
Go here for the questions to ask and find out if he's full of crap.
Here is a rule everyone with common sense would recognize as being sensible. When someone uses all of their powers of hatred, propaganda, vitriol, smears, and lies against someone or a claim is false, you can count on the fact that what they are saying is true. The difference between righteous indignation and full on hateful anger is as simple as right and wrong.
When a group of people or government do not want the truth to shine, they will use every means within their power to belittle, slander, libel, threaten, and lie about those spreading the truth about their lies. Those simply angry with those telling lies will simply point their lies out and tell the truth. The liars, will be wailing and gnashing their teeth with great fervor. It always happens, and has been happening for centuries.
For example, this out right lie called ObamaCare, has its supporters and its opposers. The opposers are attending so-called "town halls" and merely asking why certain things that are in the bill are being forced upon us. The reaction is typical of someone attempting to hide a lie. They either:
- Deflect the question by simply saying "that's a lie" even though they know it's true.
- Deflect the question by making an unfounded accusation against the one asking the question (you work for an insurance company).
- Avoid the question by staging fake "town halls" and only have prepared questions asked by those usually designed to bring sympathy rather than truth (children).
- Deflect the questioner by directly threatening them with physical force (SEIU or Acorn thugs).
- Broadcast on TV propaganda known to be quite full of lies, and easily provable as such.
- Intimidate those in opposition by collecting names of those in opposition and instilling fear with threats of home, family, and property (more thugs).
- Lie and say everyone is in support (the so-called scientific "consensus" of "Global Warming" is a convenient excuse from debate for example).
- Get your media friends to bully those in opposition echoing your claims (MSNBC, CNN, etc.)
- Make the opposition's life a living hell by threats, false accusations, numerous frivolous lawsuits to bankrupt them etc. Kind of like what they are doing the Sarah Palin.
These tactics usually work ... until people stop backing down and have had enough of their crap. The so-called "new" views of "progressives" and "liberalism" are not new at all. In fact, they are the oldest ideas passed down throughout the centuries, except just packaged in a new name and a new pretty wrapping. What they preach has brought down great nations. Has halted innovation and science, even thought they claim allegiance to science. Their message of only smart people (intellectuals) know better how to govern than the people. Their message of so-called "free" programs such as welfare, health care, etc. have always been the means of enslaving a populace. They think the people are too stupid to govern themselves, so they devise ways to sneak in methods of control under the guise of "fairness" or "equality" or the "environment" or a "crisis" or even "charity" to accomplish their designs.
History has overwhelmingly proven that an oligarchy of snobs brings misery to every populace, Such practices never bring the best out of people, nor does it breed harmony. Liberty, is the biggest enemy to those who desire full control. Never has an oligarchy achieved control by telling the truth. Yet, what happens is they summon support by those they have convinced are "victims" of society, or those sympathetic to that message to achieve their designs. It is done quickly, so as to prevent the individual from analyzing it; as it would fair a common sense and logic test quite easily when scrutinized.
Socialism doesn't improve lives. It never has. In fact, throughout its history it has brought only equal poverty and equal misery. Those that support socialism and Marxism don't understand it. Those that do understand Marxism, are those that fervently oppose it, because they understand it doesn't work and only brings out the worst in people and governments.
Things like the television, personal computers, personal cell phones, video games, choice in the grocery store, the automobile, organ transplants, miracle medicines, and so on didn't come from Marxist or socialist societies and nations. They came from individuals with the liberty and incentive to develop such wonders. The world was dirt roads, horses, and wagons for THOUSANDS of years. What changed the world in a little over 200 years? It was LIBERTY. Liberty means you choose how you live and there's only enough law to prevent someone else from eliminating your liberty, the rule of law, a Republic. The new idea (notice "new") that if people were allowed to be free to live their lives and conduct commerce as they pleased with those in power on there to protect them from others and enforce common sense laws, then greatness would come. In that short period of time, the world changed.
Technology, medicine, hygiene, life expectancy, travel, science, everything that would be considered magical or wondrous just 200 years ago we have now because of Liberty, not socialism, not an oligarchy of know-it-all snobs, but of individuals living their lives as they see fit to live it without government interference.
Rome had wondrous technology and innovations when they were a Republic and the people were free. When the public demanded more handouts and freebies, a crisis ensued and a usurper gained power and called himself Emperor. It took a while for Rome to fall, but they did. They tossed away their liberty for so-called "safety" and handouts. It happened with the Greeks, the Anglo-Saxons, Mexico, and many more great civilizations of the past.
Those that lie and usurp power always do it with a great orator that claims they will take care of them, they will make "change", they will punish the "rich" etc. Unfortunately, the rich are the ones that give the jobs.
Notice how Obama's "change" is creating more and more unemployment and misery? Notice how Obama and his supporters have put this nation into so much debt that it will be almost impossible to pay it, almost as if they are trying to topple the economy to replace it with something else? If you don't see this, then you must be either stupid or blind.
Does the left think that once a powerful government has its claws set, that things like protesting and environmental issues will make a difference with it? No, they were just a means to an end, that end being control. Does the homosexual lobby think that social medicine is going to treat people that have a lifestyle that is known to be susceptible to HIV and disease, and does not reproduce? They are blind if they think so. When you eliminate the individual in favor of the collective, you eliminate any causes you may support if it doesn't support the "collective good".
When you support the government going into people's houses and telling them how to live, you also support that happening to you too, and believe me, it will happen. When a government encourages its populace to report "suspicious activity" you become suspicious too, and it can used as a weapon against you should you become someone's enemy.
You see, when you help the government tear down others in opposition to bad policy, you invite them to do it to you some day. Oligarchies have no friends, ask the friends of Lenin (oops, he killed them), or Castro, or Chavez, or Caesar, none were friends, all feared them, even those who used to support and helped them to where they were or are now are either dead, exiled, or in prison. When you know an oligarchy's weaknesses, you become expendable.
Those that support socialism have no understanding of people or of how economies work. Hence, it is why they always always always fail. They have the arrogance to think they know better than people. Socialism, Marxism, Fascism, are all just synonyms for slavery. In fact, Abraham Lincoln once said, "Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally." Change his word "slavery" to social medicine or socialism, and the meaning is the same. Notice how the President and Congress have conveniently left themselves out of the social health care? They know it's bad and they think themselves above the (stupid or ignorant) people.
Abraham Lincoln also said, "Property is the fruit of labor...property is desirable...is a positive good in the world. That some should be rich shows that others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and enterprise. Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." If only those in support of socialism and ObamaCare understood these common sense principles, our world wouldn't be in the state it is in now.
Those with valid arguments and truth use facts to back them up as proof. Those with lies use threats, hatred, vitriol, slander, distraction, libel, physical threats, and verbal threats to hide their lies. If Obama and his congress weren't lying to us, they'd simply use the bill itself to prove those, speaking against it, wrong. They aren't, as they know the opposition is exposing their lie.
So I say this, knowing I am right. President Obama, his advisors, his friends, and the Congress are LYING TO YOU about government health care and everything else (in the past year) so far. The reasons for stimulus? A lie! The reasons for taking over banks and other private businesses? A lie! All are lies, and the people are raising their voice against it, the easier it is to see the government's lies. Their attempts at shutting people up, just prove it more. Their cries of racism? All lies, both white, black, Asian, Arab, Indian, Native American, Latino, Polynesian, all see their lies. People aren't angry at Obama's race. They are angry with his lies, and what he has already done to this nation to destroy it and turn it into something nobody intended. You can't hide the truth forever.
So my friends, when the wicked wail and gnash their teeth at you, throw hatred, lies, and vitriol at you; when the very powers of hell conspire against you, know then you are telling the truth and the truth will always prevail.
To those that try to stop the truth from being told, a wise old President once said, "This
country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it.
Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can
exercise
their Constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it.", yes, Abraham Lincoln
Be revolutionary, vote these liars out of office. Make Obama impotent. Vote people in that will hold him to the Constitution. Which, by the way, is his duty, and the only thing that gives the President his authority. Anything else is illegal.
Today one of the best movie writer/directors ever to come out of the 1980s passed away today of a sudden heart attack while taking a morning walk.
This man invented a new genre as well as a new way to make movies. In fact, the 1980s can be best demonstrated by any one of his movies. Here's just a brief list of what he has done:
-
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
- Uncle Buck
- 16 Candles
- The Breakfast Club
- Nation Lampoon's Vacation
- Home Alone (and Sequels)
- Baby's Day Out
- She's Having a Baby
- Some Kind of Wonderful
- The Great Outdoors
- Weird Science
- Pretty In Pink
- Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
- National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
- Career Opportunities
- Dutch
- Beethoven (and sequels)
- Dennis the Menace
- Flubber
- Only The Lonely
There are many more. This man preserved and bottled an era with such accuracy and humor, that it is looked back upon with fondness by many.
Many have attempted to emulate his type writing, but none have succeeded. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is probably the most known of all the above movies. John Hughes had a talent for making the mundane and every-day, fun and even ridiculous. He wrote in a way the teenagers of the time could relate to.
With a few exceptions, his movies generally took place in various areas of Chicago, a place he was fond of.
This is one talent in Hollywood I will truly miss. To me, it's like the day Mel Blanc, my favorite voice talent, died. No one could never do what he did. John Hughes was the same, and I bundle him with the greats among history.
Rest in peace John, you will not be forgotten.
