It's upsetting to see so many people turning on Glenn Beck. The media is trying like hell to marginalize him as a kook, and unfortunately a lot of people are buying into that. Same thing is happening to Sarah Palin as well. Maybe you don't like his theatrics, his drama, humor, etc., but he's still a hell of a lot closer to us than Obama, the media, or anyone on the left.

It is easier for many people to live in denial. If they ignore it; the problems will go away, and they won't have to deal with it.

Well if you think about it, in the extreme, the people of Germany KNEW what Hitler was doing in those Death Camps, but if it didn’t directly effect them but just those hated Jews, big deal.

I expect more of the Beck audience to be the SEE no EVIL, Speak no EVIL, HEAR no EVIL types that turn away.
If you don’t know the TRUTH, then you are not required to act. Easier than the alternative.

This action we are seeing now has had 40+ years of activism, teaching, and community organizing to reach this point.

The “big thing” now is calling everything Democracy. Everyone that siots by an accepts this perversion of what America is really about, which is a Republican form of Government.
“ Democracy has many critics, both in the past as well as today. While it proponents such as Abraham Lincoln see, in democracy, a government of the people by the people and for the people, critics in the like of Thomas Jefferson only perceive democracy as a tyranny of the majority—nothing more than an angry mob, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine. This view is also reflected in the words of Sir Winston Churchill who once quipped that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the rest.”

Beck is like Paul Revere,a lone light in the darkness.
