After quoting Jefferson, Beck says, "There will be rivers of blood if we don't have values and principles"

Beck sounds like he's casting a movie about his fantasy dreamland... who wants to be George Washington?

Glenn, all those guys are dead...different time, different circumstances.

What a nut job...!

Good lord, if these idiots are "training" to be the next George Washington we are in serious trouble. You don't train to be a leader like Washington, you either are or you are not. And moreover, you certainly aren't going to learn anything from Beck -- grief, what a country.

We can NOT - and I can't stress this enough - NOT have rivers of blood flowing into our gulfs of oil.

All those halfwits in the audience aren't worried... they know they'll be raptured before any of this stuff happens. Praise Jeeeeeeezzzzzzzuuuuuuusssssssss!

I find this hilarious, John Adams would have had Glenn Beck arrested under the sedition act of 1798 for "sedicious words tending to defame the President and Government of the United States". I think it's funny that this new wave of conservatism keeps looking back at our founding fathers as some sort of pinnacle of American history while completely ignoring the massive graft, pushes for expanding the government, enacting laws that would be clearly unconstitutional today, and trampling on the freedoms of it's populace. The 1800's was not some golden age of America that's degraded over time into corruption, far from it. Anyone claiming we need to return to our founding father's ideals really has a poor understanding of history and a even poorer concept of how it'd apply to our legal system today. It's important to distinguish between social conservatism and political conservatism... the two are being mixed up waaaay to much these days and I'm seeing a lot of social conservatism masquerading as political.

The pasty, fat, soft, rich little twerp better pray that nothing like his fevered fantasies ever does play out. He'd last a day, tops.

Besides he's talking about values and principles that's not anything you libs know about.

Okay values and principals, I can get behind that...now tell me which corporations and which neocons or teabaggers have those...I'll wait.

We don't need militants or revolutionaries? Weren't these guys you're talking about (the founding fathers) revolutionaries? And what about those guys you're always quoting and comparing yourself to, Gandhi and Dr. King? Weren't they considered militants in their day?

Now I know who Beck reminds me of: Dorothy from Wizard of Oz.

Lions, and tigers, and bears! Oh, my!

I don't what's scarier - Beck, or his followers. The man is a raving lunatic, but who are the idiots that listen to him? Is the education system really that broken?

I'd like to see this grandiose idiot get a 4 year degreee before teaching nme anything.

I thought we was just a "rodeo clown". How can he talk about values? WTF!

"A first attempt to recover the right of self-government may fail, so may a 2d. a 3d. &c. but as a younger, and more instructed race comes on, the sentiment become more and more intuitive, and a 4th. a 5th. or some subsequent one of the ever renewed attempts will ultimately succeed. in France the 1st. effort was defeated by Robespierre, the 2d by Bonaparte, the 3d by Louis XVIII and his holy allies; another is yet to come, and all Europe, Russia excepted, has caught the spirit; and all will attain representative government, more or less perfect. this is now well understood to be a necessary check on kings, whom they will probably think it more prudent to chain and tame, than to exterminate. to attain all this however rivers of blood must yet flow, & years of desolation pass over, yet the object is worth rivers of blood, and years of desolation. for what inheritance, so valuable, can man leave to his posterity? the spirit of the Spaniard and his deadly and eternal hatred to a Frenchman, gives me much confidence that he will never submit, but finally defeat this atrocious violation of the laws of god and man under which he is suffering; and the wisdom and firmness of the Cortes afford reasonable hope that that nation will settle down in a temperate representative government, with an Executive properly subordinated to that." - Thomas Jefferson to John Adams - Monticello Sep. 4, 23.

Reagan was also president when the USSR was still a communist country which has changed since - too bad conservative morons like beck never realized it.

Jefferson lived during the revolutionary war. wE MAY have needed to spill blood to become a real country at that point. Things have changed in the two centuries since - again, too bad conservatives like beck never realized this.

There is no NEXT george washington you dumb@$$.

Jesus christ, he's getting crazier by the day.

I would like glenn beck and the rest of the rightwingers to know that I really really don't give a s**t about the founding fathers. And if I have to hear about the founding fathers one more time I'm gonna throw a brick through my tv.

I am not into politics at all and am not sure the difference between Right/Left, Conservative and Liberal, and i hear you complain alot about what people are saying on the right. How do you think the country should be?
