      Hey Becky! Mao hated liberals and preached against Capitalism!

      You and other kooks at FOX Snooze have preached that Obama is a radical liberal(which is not). Plus he gave the banks TARP money with no real strings attached! I would say that is a continuation of the preadatory capitalism that is consuming this country at this moment.

      *Facepalm*

      I'm a Catholic, I don't worship anyone but God. I have a crucifix on my wall but I know that it isn't Jesus. I have several Madonnas, almost all of them gifts, and I revere Mary as an example of servitude, but I do not worship her. In the past, I have had a mouse pad of the Declaration of Independence and I have had copies of this document, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Gettysberg Address on the walls of my classrooms. He had someone on his show today that wants to sell pictures of George Washington to every school in America at a nominal price. He said that when he was a student, there was a copy of Washington's protrait in every classroom in America. I don't know where he went to school, but in my conservative state of Oregon, we didn't. His picture would show up around February, maybe, for President's Day, but he wasn't there in every classroom. Glenn wants to reintroduce the cult of personality. By the way, the guy talked about the cherry tree story, even though the good Parson Weems admitted to making it up. I don't think it is good to try to get children to be truthful by telling them a lie by a preacher. The Founding Fathers were very interesting men, lets just tell the truth about them. It is a lot better than the lies. And yes, they were rich, white, Europeans who were trying to protect their private property. And I don't think that Franklin was disregarded in his lifetime, even if they found some of his ways-airbaths, and chasing women, to be a bit quaint.

      Mao did not worship anything.I'm sure that he read up military tactics used in the revolution and the civil war.I'd think the chickem hawks should take Mao's battle strategies to heart the next time they get america in unwinnable wars.Neocons love war as a means to their own ends.

      It's funny, in Fredericksburg VA, where Washington was born and his mother and sister had a house, theres a sign in front of his Mothers house that say "...in honor of Mary, Mother of George" and every so often theres a movement to get the sign taken down because of supposed religous nature of the sign (they say Mary mother of George is too close to Mary mother of Jesus). Thing is, as often as not its a Conservative church group trying to get ths sign taken down for being sacreligious because they say we are not supposed to worship anyone but Jesus.

      Yet heres Beck saying we all need to do just that to be good conservative Americans

        Well, he's got an agenda. Mormonism would actually make MORE sense if its adherents worshiped Washington.

      Risked their lives like Cheney, Bush and Limbaugh did during Vietnam?

      Who are the idiots in the audience who are laughing at the Mao comment?

      so because ONE (1) person working in the white house (on an interim basis) who said she considered mao zedong as one of her favorite philosophers, along with mother theresa (in the form of a joke, mind you), proves that the rest of the white house loves him?
