      I demand that FOX fire Glenn Beck.

      Let me know when that's taken care of, okay?

        People who work for the government are not "We The People"...at least according to Glenn Beck.

          "We the people" are ONLY the Beckerhead, and his Beckerbots. But, in his delusion, he doesn't see that.

            "We the People" deserve a responsible and accountable government, a sustainable system and a balanced budget.

            The pay & benefits of most Federal/State employees make neither of those things impossible.

          In Beckistan, government employees are known as Evil Minions.

          And government employees like me need to remember that we are surrounded by those "We the People" types. And just the other day on his TV show he was furious that states were cutting police services. I know he and his soul sister, Sarah, hate teachers, and think that parents can do a much better job of indoctrinating into his twisted politicotheology, but really, they can't and the they don't have the time, either.

      Everything is going to change for your children, for all time, and they will be trapped in cement by a horrible, global government.

      But don't be violent.

      Actually, Glenn, Keynesianism is pretty much common sense.

      IF this happened...if the State's all woke up tomorrow and said: "You know what, Glenn Beck is right" and fired all of their workers then the day after tomorrow Beck would be on the radio talking about how the recent surge in unemployment was the President's fault.

      He'll spin everything...even his own spin...it would be more entertaining to watch if I didn't feel like I was making fun of the special ed kid.

      As a teacher, (on my planning period!) I take offense to the fact that Beck wants me fired.

      As someone who is actually trying to make a difference in peoples' lives, I get a little sick to my stomach when I think about the fact that Beck is making 600 times the money per year that I will ever make per year. And he makes that money by acting like a maniac on tv and radio.

      People like Glenn Beck are enemies to a stable, lawful, peaceful and educated citizenry.

      Wouldn't that mean more federal responsibility over state services?
