I don't know if you have been watching, but Glenn Beck has been building a case against the Obama Administration. He seems to be stating that Obama and his ilk have an agenda of setting up an authoritarian regime by siezing (and keeping) emergency powers as a result of some crisis (swine flu? economic crash?). To back up this charge Beck points to several "czars" who are advising Obama (such as Van Jones and Mark Floyd) that have radical backgrounds. Beck has also talked about the specter of Obama's desired "civilian security force" and what role it would play in such a crisis. Glenn has said several times that "a structure is being built" that will one day begin to function on its own.
I don't want to be alarmist here and I personally don't think such a takeover could be pulled off, at least not in the near term. However, at the very least, the power attained by this adminstration (the census, interrogations and 40+ "czars") is troubling. Any thoughts? What do you think he'll say tonight?

| I think Glen Beck is a little over the edge, but he brings up great points and talks about stuff that no one else will. |

I really don't care for him. His pro Israel, pro war, pro police attitude I can't deal with. Nor his two faced attitude towards Ron Paul, or his pseudo Libertarianism. And he really needs to grow a pair and stop blubbering and crying like a school girl.
But, he does tackle subjects nobody else will. He's not as bad as O'Reilly, Hannity, Limbaugh, Coulter, Maddow, Olbermann, Matthews.., but bad enough.

WAY Overboard, but who else is saying anything about anything?
Will NBC tell us about the marxists, felons, and anarchists that comrade obama is putting in charge of our lives?
I understand why the commies hate him so much. |

He's not psychotic...
He's schizophrenic...
Schizophrenia (pronounced /#716;sk#618;ts#601;#712;fri#720;ni#601;/), from the Greek roots schizein (#963;#967;#943;#950;#949;#953;#957;, "to split") and phr#275;n, phren- (#966;#961;#942;#957;, #966;#961;#949;#957;-, "mind"), is a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental illness characterized by impairments in the perception or expression of reality, most commonly manifesting as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions or disorganized speech and thinking in the context of significant social or occupational dysfunction

| I recall him admitting to having A.D.D. on one of his radio programs some time back. I don't like to lable someone with having a metal illness because I don't agree with him or his actions. That was a common tatic of the old USSR.... Many of us could be lable at least as being "obsessive compulsive" for "hoarding" coins, not to mention "paranoid" because we believe that the economy may continue to collapse. |

| I'm glad to see that so many are noticing his polar opposite views of Obama. As they say...fair and balanced. |
The first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; second is war. Both bring a temporary (and false) prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunities. |

Glenn Beck... you might love him or hate him. But the questions he is asking are reasonable and deserve an answer from someone. Don't they?
Wouldn't you like to know the real answers?
He is telling the American public information everyone else appears to be hiding or fails to mention.
Why is he the only one asking these questions and everyone else burying their head in the sand?
Questions:
Our unfunded liability for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?
We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and healthcare programs before we stop the flow of red-ink?
The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN. How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?
If it was so important for congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent 6 months later?
Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them, how exactly does that work?
Why won’t members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?
Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?
Was the cash-for-clunkers program meant to save the earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?
How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist become a special advisor to the president?
Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor?
The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?
If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1000 page plus bills actually impose on the American people?
If the ‘public option’ health care plan is so good why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?
If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind—why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?
Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn’t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?
Why would you want to overwhelm the system?
Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about "not letting a crises go to waste"?
What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?
Who is "surrounding" the President in the White House?
Do any of the President's advisers have criminal records?
Are the President's advisers working to better the country or their own ideals?
Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?
What roles do they have in crafting bills?
What was "STORM"? What happened to the founders, where are they now?
What qualifications must one have to be a Presidential adviser?
What is the difference between a community organizer and a community activist?
Do the czars have power?
Should a communist have the ear of the President of the United States?
What role did the Apollo Alliance play in crafting bills?
Does the President know the co-founder of the Weather Underground is a board member of the Apollo Alliance?
How many people in the administration are connected to the movement for a democratic society?
What role does George Soros play... CONSTITUTIONALLY?
Why does the FCC have a diversity "czar"?
Who is Mark Lloyd and how does he plan to "balance" the airwaves?
Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine or worse?
Cass Sunstein once said he wants to balance the Internet; is that next?
Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation?
Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government wont regulate free speech?
Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?
If Lloyd has his way, stations who don't comply to the governments definition of the "public interest" will have to pay a massive fine — that helps support public broadcasting:
What will be the definition of "public interest"?
Who defines "public interest"?
Why should it be balanced? Because it's public airwaves? (Well, there are public roads that go by my house and I don't count how many Republicans and Democrats are driving on them)
Why do we need a civilian force?
Who is posing a threat to us?
Who will this "force" be made up of?
Who is the real enemy?
Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?
Why won't the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army?
I, for one, would like to know the truth be it good new or bad news!
Unfortunately there seems to be a shortage in Washington willing to tell the truth because they worry it might effect their ability to get re-elected. |

Seems pretty fair and balanced to ask such reasonable unanswered questions. |

do not trust him.
remember, he did a hatchet job on Ron Paul. very unfair interview designed to derail Paul's campaign.
The PTB are using him to stir up both sides against each other. |

| Since I had learn the Libertarian party had a strong following and was slowly growing. Beck suddenly was saying I am not Democrat, republican, but a Libertarian. He might bring up interesting topics. But I do not believe a word he spews. |

I believe that nobody is perfect. However, Glenn Beck brings up some very good valid questions. Such questions have nothing to do with anyone's quick witted decision to hate or love the guy or if he part of this party or that.
Why not just take a man's words for their "face value"? In his case, this gentleman brings up some terrific questions. No need for protectionism against him- just answers.

The easiest way to put him out of business, is of course to answer all those questions.
This was my point. I like the questions. I want the answers to be made public.
The biggest enemy of the far right and the far left is a truthfully informed public.
Without that, democracy fails. |
