Beck: "They control your life and your pursuit of happiness" and "they will have every bit of" liberty, too

oooo noooooo they'll take your stuff and your kar keys and your dentures and tobacco!!!

Tell me again, Glenn...who are "THEY"?

Yep the banks, sallie mae and the credit score control my life and my ability to pursue my happiness. ^^

He's gotten a new writer, with sharper skills. Or, one of his usual ones has been trolling the bible and history books.

All these lines about "the Republic" this and "the Republic" that. The Psalm 23-derived soundbites of yesterday. And this obvious cull from the Declaration. He's marshalling forces for late august.

I don't know if glenn beck is overestimating the number of discontented miserable frustrated angry bitter suspicious and resentful Americans that exist today, but I do know that however many Americans there are of that description, that's who glenn beck is talking to, he's reaching out for them and trying to appeal to their discontent etc.

And I don't know just how stupid those people are, but I know this much, that if they believe that the U.S. Government in general or the Obama administration in particular is the cause of their discontent etc, then they're pretty damn stupid... that much I know.

Also, if they maybe don't necessarily believe that the federal government and/or the Obama administration is the cause of their discontent etc, but can have their mind swayed by glenn beck into now thinking that's the cause of their discontentment, then again, they're pretty damn stupid that's for sure.

What we have here is some undetermined number of discontented Americans, and they aren't really discontented because of the federal government (most likely the cause of their problems are in their childhood or their frustrated abstinent adolescence or their wasted drunken uneducated young adulthood or their failed marriage(s) or their lousy underpaid job after job careers or now their prescription-addicted body-decaying bitter old age, somewhere in there is the true and real cause of their discontentment), it's not really the federal government that is at the root of their discontentment etc, no.

But glenn beck is trying to confirm the delusional ones in their stupid belief that this may be so, and he's reaching out to and trying to convince the ones who aren't sure what's the problem with their failed lives, but maybe they can be convinced it's the federal government too, convinced by glenn beck...

In summary, glenn beck's audience is sad and maybe getting sadder, they are stupid and maybe getting stupider, and I think we, me and you, should take this moment to be thankful that we are not them, that we are not glenn beck's audience.

We should celebrate our good fortune by having a drink tonight.

Whether or not we are discontented with our lives, well we can talk about it over a drink... and we can even shuck each other a little bit, and pretend that the damn federal government is the cause of our ruin, it's that Obama, he's the cause that I'm discontented bitter angry suspicious etc!

We can do this because it's funnier that way, because we'd be proving we still have a sense of humor about our own lives, and we'd be proving we can figure out the cause of our own good or bad fortunes, figure it out without resorting irrationally to blaming the federal government, or without resorting insanely to listening to glenn beck's opinion on it.
