You know, if I’m Glenn Beck, I sit down, lower the volume, and run a quiet little radio program for a while.

It’s like a whole people group has been taught that the only way to get ahead in the world is to be jerks (and no, I’m not even speaking of the fuzz here, frequent as that may be).

And when jerks meet jerks, the encounter is exacerbated.

5 of my 5 last trips to Colorado I’ve gotten stopped by cops. One time they told me that it was suspicious to see a Minnesota license plate in town.

If I were black, I would be certain I was being racially harassed by now.

Glenn was bereft today. Brad Thor has said he will vote Trump.....plus Beck is apoplectic over Bannon and Conway

Beck has a hard time grasping issues.

I think he grasps issues just fine. Glenn Beck's problem is that he's chiefly interested in the promotion of Glenn Beck, and he promotes himself, almost always, by portraying himself as an outlier--not one of the conservative rabble. And in his mind, the best way to portray himself as an outlier is to say something shocking, no matter how lacking in common sense it is. With Beck, always remember that promotion, not decency, is the object.

I don’t know, $650K direct investment and putting the BLM Leader up in a Maryland mansion owned by an Open Societies board member sounds like control to me.

Doubtless Soros could buy out the entire thing. He wanted, as I have heard, to “work reforms” through these people — but either he is an utter ignoramus or by this he means some kind of evil vengeance upon societies that he hates.

The key to believing you have a grievance, more often than not, flows not from what is actually behind life's various annoyances; but rather from being psychologically manipulated by someone with an agenda, to believe that you have a grievance. From the incident in Genesis, through every Leftist demagogue, since, it has ever been the case.

I do not suggest that life is always fair; but instilling the grievance mentality, as a tactic, has seldom been a way to what is fairer. It has usually been to a quite different purpose, with very little benefit to the person being conditioned.

I think he’s moving left to get back on a cable news show that isn’t Fox. That Blaze isn’t working out as planned.

Bingo and Jackpot.

How many Freepers will do an in depth analysis of Glen Beck's latest political positions and declare that he's simply confused. They'll do all sorts of research and apply critical thinking and compare and contrast his policy statements.

All he's doing is angling for his next gig.

I really wish our side would learn how to spot a scam.

The Garden thang sure was a sockdollager example of this. Oh, God hates you because He hasn’t spilled all His beans about good and evil to you. Well guess what, you’d never have room for all the beans you’d need, if you had to store them all yourself. So God’s generosity was made to look like some kind of evil plot.

Looking for how a misfortune situation can be turned to one’s legitimate gain works a lot better than the eternal kvetch, that’s for sure.

the very real issues, like police brutality, facing black Americans on a daily basis.

If this dope really believes this, he's completely lost it.

I think they have wrapped their own minds with cruel illusions. Not that things can’t ever actually go wrong with the fuzz — they do, and often it seems that people scarcely care when they do — but maybe part of the problem is all this crying of wolf.

I’m retired; I would prefer to go fishing, or just sit in the shade and have a cold beer.

"All of us are sitting around a table, and we're all friends," Beck told the roughly 500 attendees. "It's time for dessert, and everybody gets pie except for me and you. And you say, 'I didn't get any pie.' Everybody at the table looks at you and says 'I know. All pie matters.' You say, 'but I don't have any pie! What about my pie?'"

I struggle a lot with his logic.

Who is doling out the pie?

Since two people didn't get pie, why is the one only worried about HIS pie?

What was the determining factor in why someone didn't get their pie?

So, is he suggesting we could all have pie if we just took a microscopic sliver of pie from the other pieces to make a piece for the ones that didn't get it? Taxes? Entitlements?

And Beck is supposed to be a "die hard conservative" who aligned with Cruz over Trump because Trump wasn't conservative???
