Glenn: ‘The Walking Dead’ is a study in a post-apocalyptic world [Glenn Beck]

What would happen if there was total economic collapse? Or an EMP? Or some other apocalyptic event? Glenn has been watching ‘The Walking Dead’ and sees it as a scarily accurate portrait of what life would be like if people had to fight to survive. There may not be zombies, but the rest isn’t too far off.

“If you watch it for pure entertainment, God bless you. I don’t know how do it. It must be nice to live in that world. I don’t live in that world. I’m taking notes,” Glenn said. “When it happens in real life, they won’t be walking around dummies just trying to stumble into you and gnaw at your arms…they have it easy compared to the way I think the world is going to break down.”

Glenn found the role that God played in the show to be really interesting. One of the main characters, Herschel Greene, brings faith to the center of the show and how it impacts the other characters. “He brings everybody together. And you can see how important God would be in that situation. A true belief in God, not a magical mystical thing,” Glenn said.

Yep, this ‘man of the cloth’ is more dangerous than Rick. This ‘preacher’ is nothing more than the shill opansy. An agitator.

I imagine it is very accurate, when compared word for word to the script.

Like Glenn Beck knows about anything.

Glenn's comment about "taking notes" on a fictional series reminded me of this inane book:

Around these parts, we all call this show; ‘”The Walking Democrats”.
They feast on the life blood of others, they’re just outright violent/dangerous and absolutely serve no useful purpose other than target practice.

“While working at WPGC, Beck met his first wife, Claire. In 1983, the couple married and had two daughters, Mary and Hannah. Mary developed cerebral palsy as a result of a series of strokes at birth in 1988. The couple divorced in 1994 amid Beck’s struggles with substance abuse. He is a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, and has described himself as a “borderline schizophrenic.”

By 1994, Beck was suicidal, and imagined shooting himself to the music of Kurt Cobain. He credits Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) with helping him achieve sobriety. He said he stopped drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis in November 1994, the same month he attended his first AA meeting.[37] Beck later said that he had gotten high every day for the previous 15 years, since the age of 16.

Correction. I think Beck is drinking again. Could be the music contract though.
