That I am glad I am not back in the states. (But it looks like I will be soon….. 🙁 ).
Glenn Beck marching on the Mall to take back honor? Boy, that’s rich. Glenn Beck has no honor-save for his own pocket book. That is all he cares about. Somebody pour some tequila down this guy’s throat and get him back off the wagon.
Retaking the Civil Rights movement? It would be out-rightly ludicrous save for the sad fact that sheep people will actually show up to this event. Ask yourself this one question: If today were 8/28/1963, do you think Glenn Beck would have joined the March on Washington in support of the equal treatment of all Americans, regardless of race or economic status?
Not a chance in hell.
This rally is about two things and two things only. Enriching Glenn Beck and staking the claim that Tea Baggers always make that they-regardless of whether it is true or not-are mere victims. Of what you may ask? Evil conspiracies to deprive them of their wealth, their health and to reduce their status in society. Evil liberal conspiracies. Never mind that a lot of conservatives- people just like them-made some pretty narrow minded decisions, in their holy of holies, the free market, that deprived them of a lot of wealth.
Cause if there is one thing Glenn Beck does not have it is any command of the facts.
Does Beck want to take the full mantle of Martin Luther King? As in becoming a martyr? Maybe that is his long term plan, to keep jacking up the rhetoric until finaly some nut takes a weapon and shoots at him? I really wonder-especially when you hear the hysterical tone in his broadcasts.
Because at some point if one keeps us this “we” vs evil “them” rhetoric it will come to violence-of that I am becoming rapidly convinced. Politics in America has become so crazy, so polarized and so based on basic stupidity, that its only going to take some spark to set off the powder keg.
Which is exactly what Beck wants. It is not a new paradigm-in fact it is as old as time itself. In a sane world the ravings of Glenn Beck would be dismissed as the ravings of a lunatic. Sadly however, we live in a country with too many stupid people-who actually listen to what this buffoon says and believe him.
Well I will not be among those sheep on the Mall-screw you Glenn Beck. I hope it rains on your parade-literally.
