Beck's "history lesson" begins around the 16 minute mark, so you can skip ahead to it:

In case you haven't guessed, the Pilgrims are the Real Americans in this story, and the Jamestown colonists are the Forces of Satan whom the good people of New England deservedly slaughtered circa 1860.

Of course the fact that Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Mason, and Henry were descended from the evil Jamestown rapists, slavers & cannibals isn't discussed, but you can't expect everything.

I had Beck on for background noise this morning and heard that crap. Made me want to fire up the wagon and head to Texas (or wherever) and punch that snot nosed bastid in the nose.
Then I figured it wouldn’t be worth the gas and just turned it off.
Screw Glenn Beck and his sycophants.

Is beck back on the sauce?

Or was he permanently brain damaged?

[FLT-bird]

Of course Beck has it exactly backwards. Those intolerant, socialist, religious fanatic, Johnny-come-latelys up New England are and have always been a malign influence on America. The biggest mistake the South ever made was backing New England in their quarrel with the mother country. They should have just sat back and watched the Brits crush them.

Then there was that 5000 Year Leap book or whatever.

Did you know that American history is divided between those who brought to the New World Kindness, Good Relations, and Freedom?
Versus those who "came over to rape this land" and who brought Misery, Slavery, Abuse, and eventually Cannibalism?

Not sure I understand. Is Beck arguing that the settlers in New England brought kindness, good relations and freedom whereas those in Jamestown came over to rape the land and brought misery, slavery, abuse and cannibalism?

I guess beck’s been hearing the wolf cry to the blue corn moon lately.

[Leep]

Mmmm..cannibalism

Glenn beck is an idiot and charlatan.

My 9th great grandfather, John Stokely, was born in Jamestown in 1621.

Not sorry.

Restoring whose covenant? I can’t handle Mormon Beck. Calvinist Beck? Sounds an awful lot like Bubba’s “New Covenant” campaign theme. Cheetoh Man picks and chooses what he likes, slops on the sugary sentimentalism, and hawks it in the public square. To the stocks!

New England was settled mostly by people from the area of East Anglia. Virginia was settled mostly by people from Wessex

I listened to what Beck said about Jamestown and couldn’t believe it. I have long known that Beck is no conservative, but I never expected him to channel Howard Zinn.

Beck skips La Florida, and the Spanish colonial settlement St. Augustine (which had slaves working the large estancias around and in the town). So, he has enrolled in the sanitized version of the 1619 project-— he appears to be on board with that notion.

St. Augustine was established in 1565, and was the colonial capital of Spanish Florida for over 200 years. It and St. Mary’s Georgia predate 1620 Plymouth colony by 55 years, and the other non continental US Spanish colonies are seriously older than that.

thanks for posting this— re-confirms what a misguided person Beck can be. His work on the Holodomor was spot on. But his background of being a drunk catholic convert to Mormonism.... caps his whacko rewrites of himself and life.

not the first time grandkids better than their grandparents. See Italian Mafia.

One thing about Jamestown has always intrigued me. I lived in that area of VA. for 20 years and took LOTS of relatives on Jamestown/Williamsburg tours. My particular point of interest is: history states that they cut blocks of ice out of the James River and stored them in deep holes to preserve their food supply. I never saw the James River freeze solid, so that blocks of ice could be cut out. I know this sounds trivial, but...!

I detest Glen Beck

Anyone who uses race as the crucible in determining American heritage is plain and simple a myopic weak fool

Many conservatives including some on this forum ...some of note I might add....think denigrating parts of the most historical conservative elements of America will somehow endear them and their cuck version of conservatism to minorities of racial ethnic sexual or religious stripe

I could see Beck was of this sickness early on.

Most talk radio does this some more than others...

It shows how thin American conservatism actually is today compared to Barry or Bill or Reagan fifty years ago

Sam Francis was far more right than he was wrong

When the shooting starts who’s gonna care who was a racist if they have ammo

This is from last December; I’d forgotten about it.
