Beck presented clips of recordings and quotes and discussed the czars which have existed to a lesser extent since FDR, if my memory serves me. The writings, quotes, and clips from speeches seem questionable for someone in a high position with no accountabilty except to the President. Beck had a list of the czars and a description which can be seen at

Glenn presents facts, has discussions and lists questions. If there were misinformation, these could be dealt with in a presentation which would discredit him. The attack is an indication of the validity of his program's information and an affirmation of its value. Obama asked us to judge him by those who he associates with and he named people like Warren Buffett during the campaign. He then surrounded himself with czars which several conservative talkers had been warning the American voter about during the campaign. The fact that he would campaign with a list of advisors who make him look like a reasonable choice and then create a group of people with radical views who are only accountable to him should call attention to the need for more scrutiny of what he really wants to do with America.
There are many claims about ACORN and AmeriCorp receiving taxpayer money and using it for promoting the acquisition of power by this administration and its army manned by these organizations. IG Walpin was dismissed when he uncovered corruption at a high level. A lot of people would like a little more transparancy under the pre-Orwellian definition.

Glenn Beck: Reasonable questions for unreasonable times
August 28, 2009 - 16:28 ET
All this week we are asking questions; I may not have the answers, but power left unchecked can turn very ugly, very rapidly. So it's vital that we all question with boldness, hold to the truth and speak without fear.
You need to start asking questions:
Day 4
- Why do we need a civilian force?
- Who is posing a threat to us?
- Who will this "force" be made up of?
- Who is the real enemy?
- Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?
- Why won't the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army?
Day 3
- Why does the FCC have a diversity "czar"?
- Who is Mark Lloyd and how does he plan to "balance" the airwaves?
- Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine or worse?
- Cass Sunstein once said he wants to balance the Internet; is that next?
- Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation?
- Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government wont regulate free speech?
- Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?
If Lloyd has his way, stations who don't comply to the governments definition of the "public interest" will have to pay a massive fine — that helps support public broadcasting:
- What will be the definition of "public interest"?
- Who defines "public interest"?
- Why should it be balanced? Because it's public airwaves? (Well, there are public roads that go by my house and I don't count how many Republicans and Democrats are driving on them)
Watch Glenn Beck weekdays at 5p and 2a ET on the Fox News Channel...
Day 2 - Who is "surrounding" the President in the White House?
- Do any of the President's advisers have criminal records?
- Are the President's advisers working to better the country or their own ideals?
- Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?
- What roles do they have in crafting bills?
- What was "STORM"? What happened to the founders, where are they now?
- What qualifications must one have to be a Presidential adviser?
- What is the difference between a community organizer and a community activist?
- Do the czars have power?
- Should a communist have the ear of the President of the United States?
- What role did the Apollo Alliance play in crafting bills?
- Does the President know the co-founder of the Weather Underground is a board member of the Apollo Alliance?
- How many people in the administration are connected to the movement for a democratic society?
- What role does George Soros play... CONSTITUTIONALLY?
Day 1 - Our unfunded liability for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?
- We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and healthcare programs before we stop the flow of red-ink?
- The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN. How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?
- If it was so important for congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent 6 months later?
- Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them, how exactly does that work?
- Why won’t members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?
- Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?
- Was the cash-for-clunkers program meant to save the earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?
- How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist become a special advisor to the president?
- Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor?
- The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?
- If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1000 page plus bills actually impose on the American people?
- If the ‘public option’ health care plan is so good why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?
- If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind—why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?
- Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn’t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?
- Why would you want to overwhelm the system? - Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about "not letting a crises go to waste"?
- What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?
Glenn presents facts which, if false, could be disputed during a discussion of the above questions. With regards to the racist campaign holding Obama back, I would suggest that you check
1. Thomas Sowell
and
2. Walter E. Williams
who the liberals would be hard pressed to claim racism as a defense against their brilliant analysis and prolific writings and speeches dispelling myths of liberalism.
I wrote and thanked Glenn for putting himself at risk to present the picture of the Obama administration to the American voter. He is the only one doing it and it has not been discredited. Big statement about control of the news.

It was a huge risk (not your butt), but you were instrumental in giving us
the information and shining the light on the Alinsky Warriors of the AWFUL
Administration who won the battle for the Whitehouse. AWFUL = Alinsky
Warriors Fooling Unknowing Lemmings and they use deception to rally the
mooreons and WIIers.
Without you and your team's hard work, we would not be in as good of a
position to fight the battle which we knew we had to fight. RAPA = REAL
American Patriot Army has started using the Alinsky strategy, but replaced
illusion with TRUTH and the Soros types are not used to that. Deception
and ignorance are their tools and truth trumps it, but it takes someone
like you and your team to arm us.
You truly meet the need described by one of our forefathers - “If ever a
time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest
seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced
patriots to prevent its ruin.” -- Samuel Adams
Thank you for what you must endure and for having made the choices in your
earlier life to look at where you were and where you could go. Your
choices have affected not just your life, but the life of our country and its citizens.
Very sincerely and greatfully yours,
Ross Howell
Not since Joe McCarthy shuffled off this mortal coil in 1957 has anyone made a career by accusing people of being communists. Glenn Beck has resurrected the practice. Not only has he found a cabal of secret communists, he has uncovered an entire communist corporation chock full of commies. The name of this company, you may ask?
ReplyDeleteTHE NATIONAL BROADCASTING COMPANY!
You heard me right, boys and girls. The network that gave us Uncle Miltie and Ma Perkins has apparently been secretly sending subliminal messages endorsing Marxist doctrine since it was formed in 1926. This would make perfect sense to me. Every time I watched the Rockford Files I had an unexplainable desire to read Das Kapital. But seriously, folks. Twenty years after the fall of the Soviet Union, red baiting not only seems silly, it's also kind of nuts. It's not-at-all surprising that an organization would give this idiot a forum (after all, he's on FOX Noise). What's really stunning is the fact that his ratings are relatively high and that so many Americans take his word as gospel.
All kidding aside, half-witted ideologues are a dime a dozen. What separates Glenn Beck from his peers is the fact that he is doing some serious damage to the country he professes to love so much. For all of the comparisons to the Nazis he likes to make with regard to Liberals, Beck's program has much in common with Adolf Hitler's 1923 screed, Mein Kampf. Eighty-six years ago, Hitler attempted to arouse the anger of his fellow Germans by spouting half truths and utter nonsense - exactly what Glenn Beck is doing in 2009. So much of the insane dialogue that has been spewed forth at these Town Hall meetings across the country in recent weeks might have been lifted straight from a transcript of any of Beck's programs.
Beck and his twisted ilk have done the seemingly impossible. They have deflected the blame for America's current economic distress toward Barack Obama. An incredible feat when you take into consideration the fact that the President is one of the few people in government today whose guilt in the matter is almost nil. They have also let loose with a vengeance the very worst angels of the American nature. Opening this Pandora's box was relatively easy. Closing it might prove to be a bit of a problem.
Deep in their hearts
They do believe
That they shall undermine someday....

My response was too lengthy and I chose to do it in another blog post at http://factsforreality.blogspot.com/2009/09/too-length-response-to-my-glenn-beck.html
ReplyDeleteThe responses are emotional without discussion facts and of little use in furthering anyone's thinking
I would much rather have us work at tuning up each others analysis and thinking than verbal jousting which is a useless endeavor
