      He's like the unholy test-tube baby of Jim Jones and a frat boy.

      He's certainly the first "entertainer" to call for people to be his "evangelists." Hopefully his platform doesn't include "social justice" because, we all know where that leads. Sigh, Glenn you frighten me.

        Well, I know that his ridiculous statements regarding people walking away from churches who preach "social justice" is losing him a lot of support and that religious groups are promoting protests against his stupidity. You tick off your base, Beck, and you lose.

      "We've got to have more people." -Glenn Beck

      Well, you'll certainly need more than the 70,000 that showed up on 912, Glenn.

      "You've got to be an evangelist for this message"

      Yep. I knew this was coming. He's preparing to transition to the Glenn Beck Old Time Gospel Hour. Instead of misinterpreting the Bible, he will misinterpret the Constitution instead.

      Mr. Beck, are you seriously holding up Father Conklin as an example? He's at least as insane as Skousen, and probably moreso. I know that your grasp of history and economics and politics is highly wanting, Glenn, but you DO realize that the Nazis and the Communists were at war, right? That their ideologies are diametrically opposed? And that you have compared our current President to both at once?

      Preach to the choir all you like, Glenn. It's very satisfying, for a short time, but it gains you no converts, and in the end, the brighter among your flock will see through your insanity and leave you with only knuckle dragging mouth breeders to 'spread the word' according to Beck.

      Who does he think he is, flippin' Noah? He is going to be teaching us all about the Great Depression tonight folks. Make sure you tune into to receive your daily intake of Revisionist Garbage.

          Yep, my grandparents lived through it as well. My grandpa rode the rails out West with a loaf of bread made into peanut butter sandwiches and a five dollar bill, looking for work. Came back five years later, and purchased a farm with what he'd saved. Glenn has no idea what hard work is really like, or hard times, from an economic standpoint.

            Grandparents? Making me feel old.. my father was a tween/teen during the Depression, and took any job he could to help support his family. He was also a Union Man, because of that experience.

            As for Beck.. will he be explaining why the Depression was "great"?

      Very few people who came out of the Depression think ill of FDR. Those who do, were Republicans who opposed his championing of the working man. FDR was not evil, he was a man who grew beyond his privileged background and helped the average working stiff. I know that is something you will never understand, Glennie.

        Beck is appealing to the people who failed history. Every day, he preaches American antihistory. You're right, the people who hated FDR were the corporatists and bankers, not the people who worked for a living.

        Where would today's teabaggers be if not for FDR's programs? Many would be living in squalor without an education, a job or electricity.

        Society's evolution, even before men could read and write, has always depended on oral history, passed from generation to generation.

        Beck is pitting his followers against all that they should have learned from their parents and grandparents.

          Very interesting points you've raised. You're right, he is trying to re-write history, and he is depending on being able to sell his selected, twisted crop job over any memories gained from people who lived it. My grandmother hated FDR, but she was a life long Republican who came from a well-to-do background(which she abandoned for love). Ironically, my grandmother actually lived a bit of the "Grapes of Wrath" lifestyle in the 1930's. My father and his brothers were put into the state orphanage because she couldn't support them picking crops when the marriage failed (and she was too proud to ask her family for help.) My mother's family, however, were big fans of FDR.

        The Bretherin of Beck, of course, will be in charge of defining survive for the rest of us. Often individually, with great (ok not so great) ingenuity.
