Glenn Beck wants to heal the America he divided — one hug at a time
The Washington Post ^ | March 14, 2017 | Marc Fisher

Posted on 03/23/2017 2:40:15 PM PDT by TBP

“I’m not willing to do this anymore,” he says. He leans over, drops his head as if in penitence and pronounces himself riven with regrets.

Now, at 53, Beck sees a nation of people who are at one another’s throats, and he blames his language, his meanness and his assaults, his constant selling of the idea that the other side was evil and that his side had the one true answer. He believes that his radio show and his TV shows and his rallies on the Mall paved the way for the incivility, intolerance and general indigestion that now plagues the body politic.

Both Beck and the WaPoo are tools.

I confront whomever spews hatred and division. From either side.

(even those who trolled during the primaries - hint, hint).

Anyone who promotes sodomites and their behaviors (for the children) are owned and run by the Deep State (the psychopathic sodomites) who want a NWO where pederasty is normal again like in muslim nations and in Milo’s world. After all, old men “loving” young boys is “good” and “compassionate” and it embeds the proper worldview and desires in young boys—just like the Spartans did in their homosexual culture in Ancient Greece.

To flip 2000 years of Ethics back to the Babylonian He/She Goat-god hedonistic orgies with children and baby-killing is the goal to Satanism—where Evil is Good and Reason and Logic are removed from “Just Law” (which is impossible and insanity).

Beck lost me when his mormonism and making himself into god to dictate his “Good and Evil” embraced sodomites leading the boy scouts (and raping and grooming little boys) like the boy harems of Afghanistan and ancient cultures like Sparta. There is no “Natural Right from the Creator” to sodomize others, Mr. Beck. It removes Virtue from Justice (completely irrational and Marxism where Up is Down and Slavery is Freedom and Men can be Women).

Removing “Right Reason from Natural Law” , the foundation of our US Justice System, will collapse the culture. Promoting Vice in a “Just Law” is unconstitutional always-—so abortion promotion and sodomite marriage promotion is beyond rational, it is satanism (a religion) and vice. Literally, our Justice System is now a Vice System and we have SCOTUS members who need to be in prison for Treason.

No, Glenn, I don't think you had nearly as much influence as you think you did. You filled some airtime, you did a decent job educating from time to time, but the fact is that you generally promoted confirmation bias. How do I know this? Your lack of success since your inexplicable change of heart. Nobody's really that into you or a message they don't believe in.

Didn’t pay close attention to it, but wasn’t his rally in DC a patriotic rally?

How could that cause “division?”

I believe he has been forced to take in investors who have obliged him to change his editorial stance. Step by step, everything he is for, he is against.

He has made a bad bargain.

He lost me around the time of his rally.
A few yrs. prior I heard him on the radio while up in Ohio, WVa area. Thought Wow! I like.

I think I'm going to cry, Beck's new persona is so moving.

How nice that Glenn Beck has been able to find common ground with Trump-haters on the Left. Now all the NeverTrumpers can start showing love to one another again, have a big group hug, and then combine to focus on their misplaced hatred for the boogeyman who unifies the crazies of both the Left and right: President Trump.

Thanks for the update on your profound transformation, Mr. Beck.

And thanks for trying to falsely conflate the real, bona fide hate and totalitarianism of the Left with perfectly legitimate populist and conservative anger on the right.

The levels of hate on the Left and Right will never be equivalent.

The Left has a near monopoly on hate, identity politics, tribalism, and division, and that will always be the case.

Until Glenn Beck and his new Lefty friends can get past their hysterical Trump Derangement Syndrome, none of them will experience any meaningful growth, political or otherwise...

Glenn Beck needs an extended stay at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. He obviously had a psychological collapse, and needs a long time to recover.

Elmer Gantry is a moron! Is he still on radio or TV? Has he hooked up with Levin yet? Inquiring minds.

Some people will claim to be the devil rather than face just how unimportant they really are.

Delusions about his own power, apparently....

Take a hike, Glenn. Nobody listens to you anymore.

Yes Glenn, the mood of the whole country changes over what you say or don't say.

I think he really believes that. It's part of his grandiose delusions.

I also believe we won't have to be plagued with his occasional pleas for attention and relevance much longer. Betweent the $$$ he paid to settle the suit with the Saudi student he claimed was the money man for the Boston marathon bombing, and the lawsuit he'll soon probably lose to his former CEO, Chris Balfe for more $$$, he's bleeding money.

I'm just very glad that Buck Sexton, whom I enjoy tremendously, was able to negotiate out of his contract with The Blaze's sinking ship and make his way to America Now Radio, replacing bimbo Meghan McCain.

I used to like him on Fox, excellently dissecting the progressive movement, especially Woodrow Wilson.

It was like hearing a good college lecture.

Now, I have no idea what he even believes.

His meltdown on election night was a doozie. I don't listen to his Sirius radio show at all.

Ten minutes of goldline commercials, and 3 minutes of actual "show".

And the "show" isn't in the least bit entertaining.

Thank God this nutter is starting to realize that he isn’t a conservative. I’ve known he’s just another unstable Cultural Marxist for quite a while now. Would it be too much to hope that “journalists” will quit referring to him as a “conservative,” while inviting him to slander actual conservatives?

Bottom line on Beck is he bet big AGAINST Trump and lost. Now that he has lost most of his audience support he is doing the same old routine that others have done to gain “strange new respect” from liberals. It still won’t keep his career from remaining in total eclipse.
