I had a bumper sticker that said, “What IF Glenn Beck is Right?”

Wish I kept it on the car because everything that crazy lunatic Glenn Beck said was going to happen is happening.

Hank Williams Jr. just got a new follower. He was tricked into saying that.

Williams, through his publicist, said on Monday: "Some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. My analogy was extreme -- but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me -- how ludicrous that pairing was. They're polar opposites and it made no sense. They don't see eye-to-eye and never will. I have always respected the office of the president."

Tuesday, he issued another statement."The thought of the leaders of both parties jukin and high fiven on a golf course, while so many families are struggling to get by simply made me boil over and make a dumb statement," Williams wrote on Facebook and his website. "I am very sorry if it offended anyone."

He speaketh the truth in my book.

Williams was misconstrued and was trying to choose two disparate political figures for contrast. That said, Soros doesn’t want the cat to get out of the bag that Obama is following the classic national socialist labor union class warfare racist playbook.

The push for Global Marxism will come before Obama can be voted out. Glenn was correct on all fronts, you need to have the Arab (terrorists in power) Spring; you need the US and Europe to be in financial ruin and you need a bunch of dumbed-down entitled young people to fight for something they haven’t earned.

Moochers
Freeloaders
Soros-paid losers

Beck was right, dead right.

Hank Williams Jr. also endorsed Herman Cain and we are seeing an onslaught against Cain from the left too.

Rush said today that obama was 100% behind all of these protests and he is... he wants a reason to declare martial law and cancel the elections. I used to think that was crazy talk... not any longer. obama is following in hitler’s footsteps... AND I AIN'T APOLOGIZING TO ANYONE!

I suspect ESPN just laid a big turd in their plate ! “Bosephus” has a strong following across the nation in exactly the demographic ESPN is targeting ! “Tramping” him is akin to a “slap in the face” to the feelings of a large audience segment in “flyover country” i.e. those “red states/countys” outside urban centers. >PS
