Do you hate Glen Beck? Have you been brainwashed to hate him? From where does your opinion come?
I admit it. I watch Beck on a fairly regular basis. Because of this, I’m always caught off guard when somebody talks about what an idiot he is. Because what that means is, I’m an idiot.
If I got my opinion via quips from the administration, I guess I’d think Beck is totally unreliable. Or, if I reached my decision from Saturday Night Live, Letterman, the View, NPR, or “mainstream media,” I’d readily reach the conclusion that Beck is a right-wing nut job.
Here’s my challenge for those of you who don’t watch Beck. Watch his show, or listen to his radio broadcast for 5 days in a row. I know, I know. How would you be able to stand that? Take it just one day at a time. If at the end of the 5 days you still think he’s not to be taken seriously, let alone credible, I would take your criticism seriously. However, most people I’ve met who hate Glen Beck do so because somebody told them Beck is a wack job. That’s right; they’ve NEVER listened to the man. Still, their verdict is that he is dangerous.
America is at a crossroads. We’re about to take a divergent course which leads down a completely different direction from our legacy. Frighteningly, if taken, the course we take may prove hard, if not impossible, to abandon. Because of this, it is imperative that we take the time to examine where we are headed. Forget Republican vs. Democrat - Beck decries both parties. What he favors is the Constitution, our foundation, and our legacy as a great nation.
Beck is raising concerns which need to be considered. Whether or not you agree with his position, it is worth your time to listen to the warnings. Following a path that leads to destruction is a choice that should be made by the will of the People. We cannot afford to let others tell us what to think. Living in a Republic requires an informed and involved populace. Anything less, and we resort to relying on elected officials without accountability. We’ll get what we deserve.
