Yea, I have on my flame suit tonight too...I agree, GB creeps me out also...Just something weird about the guy that makes me feel uncomfortable.
I call BS.
No one is stupid enough not to know the difference between the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorial.
Even using google maps.
What personality cult are you referring to? That he is popular among his viewers? You don’t have to like him or even watch him, that’s fine. Everyone prefers different people. I like him, he’s informative, honest, he does him homework, and is welcoming. You can join us in prayer for our country though.
But, do I think there is something strange about him, absolutely not.
Anyone who goes to Washington DC and can’t find the Lincoln Memorial is an idiot.
Juvenile bolshies at work, most likely. Though maybe Google simply confused the two; Lincoln and FDR were both damn fascists anyway.
+P to the OP re: Beck. Creepy guy and I'm still not really sure what tomorrow's event is about. We need a summer of rage... as the event approaches, it's looking more like some sort of tent revival. I don't get it.
It would not be the first time Google was caught sabotaging search results.
Anyone with 2 molecules of brain matter can find the Lincoln Memorial without the aid of Google Maps. If they can’t, they’re too stupid to live, and should exit the gene pool immediately.
2,000 leaders from at least a dozen denominations and religions were there tonight. No cult of personality going on. The theme of the events is the same the founders promoted: lots of different opinions but we all hold some truths to be self-evident.
I usually discount the conspiracy theories about Google, attributing it to mere stupidity on Google’s part.
But this one is really creepy. You search “Lincoln Memorial” and the only tag they give is for FDR. If you search Roosevelt Memorial it works, search Washington Monument it works, search Washington Mall it works. Even Newseum works. The Lincoln Memorial is clearly marked on the google map (I mean it’s labelled and dotted), but no search I can find will actually indicate where the Lincoln Memorial is.
The only question is whether it was that way a month ago.
My liberal (lacking logic) daughter asked me why I was going to DC for Beck. I told her that I am NOT going for Beck, but to hear Dr. Alveta King and to stand UP for Honor, Faith, Hope, Charity, the troops and to feel part of an American resurgence.
She didn’t answer me so I guess she is too far gone to understand what all of that means.
I have failed as a father and parent.
Now, we're “cult” members if we listen to Glenn Beck? Man, when Liberals don't have a leg left to stand on they just get “feelings” or the “willies.” I'm so exhausted with this kind of junior high “handsy slapping.”
I want the grown-ups back in charge. Yesterday.
Someone at Google should grow up. It’s very disturbing that a company that offers a map service is willing to deceive people. The next time it might not be an easily found location.
As to Glenn Beck, if he becomes more important than God, family and country, that’s probably more the fault of the fan than his. I don’t agree with everything he says, but he does make a lot of good points and is much better at genuine “teachable moments” than Mr. Soetoro. The emotional moments are not everyone’s taste, but the facts he brings forward from history and from the Constitution are worth listening to.
Beck is a good man. I listen to him and I like him. Not only is he a strong conservative who I truly think that he believes in everything he preaches, but he has a wicked sense of humor as well. Glenn would be welcome in my home anytime.
What creeps me out is that with the gathering of thousands of American Patriots in DC...showing our strength and resolve...that anyone would feel the need to call it a “cult”.
Now THAT is weird.
And counterproductive.
A belated welcome to FreeRepublic.com
It still leads you to FDR (11:04 PST)
