GLENN: From the New York Times Sunday, ex offenders and the vote. Millions of ex offenders who have been released from prison are denied the right to vote. That undercuts the effort to reintegrate former prisoners into mainstream society, and it goes against one of democracy's most fundamental principles, that governments should rule with the consent of the governed. Congress held hearings last week on the Democracy Restoration Act that would allow released ex felons to vote in federal elections. I will give you all of the information here and put it into context, this and illegal immigration coming up.
Let me, let me warn you now in no uncertain terms: You must always be a people of peace. Always. Unless your life is being threatened, in no uncertain terms, you must always be a people of peace. We are entering a very dangerous phase and I believe it's intended to be that. I want to ask you this question, and I want you to, I want you to really think of what I'm about to tell you. How many times have you thought about overthrowing the government of the United States? Trying to think... never, for me.
PAT: Just am adding it up here. Just, I'm... none.
GLENN: How many friends do you have that have ever sat around and thought about those things? How many times have you ever spent any time thinking about, if I just throw a bomb, maybe I can get a revolution started. Have you ever thought of that? Do you know anyone who has ever thought of that? The answer is, for me, and I believe I would have said a year ago the entire audience, the entire population of America I would have said none, zero. Last night I was standing at the chalkboard and I have been trying to figure a couple of things out. Barack Obama said a year ago do you have the quote where he's talking about, you can't rule with 51 votes on healthcare, where you can't govern? He said, you can't govern with just 51 votes on healthcare. You can't pass this and then govern, can't happen, we can't do it that way. So why did he do that? In fact, it wasn't even that solid. Why would you do that? The next question I asked myself is why would you go right directly to immigration reform? Something that was so divisive that it almost tore the republic apart. Why would you do that?
Glenn Beck's American Revival Glenn Beck's American Revival is a daylong event where you can find information, inspiration, and the preparation to help turn this country around... - Tickets now available!
Last night I was standing in front of a chalkboard and I looked at the I had some quotes ready from the revolutionaries that are here surrounding the president now and the revolutionaries from the first American Revolution. Notice I said first American Revolution because I think the second American Revolution is being played out right now. They are calling it the fundamental transformation. And I'm looking at these and I start I'm in the commercial break and I'm looking at the founders and I think to myself, "We are not these people. Where is George Washington, where is Ben Franklin, where is Thomas Jefferson, where are these great, great thinkers? Where are they? We're not these people. Where is Samuel Adams? We have to have Samuel Adams. We must be a people that understand faith in God. Where are they?" And I'm thinking, "If there is a revolutionary if there's a revolution now, it ends the way the French Revolution did, which is Napoleon, a dictator, bloodshed, awful, awful things in a dictator." And I was about to go on the air. It was about 30 seconds before I went on the air. And then I looked at the others, the new fundamental transformation revolution. And I that you had, oh, my gosh, these people, these people have thought of revolution. I've never thought of revolution. These people have. Where were they in the 1960s? In the 1960s they were in SDS. Andy Stern, Medina, the new guy on immigration, member of SDS. You have Van Jones, a guy who was calling for a violent revolution. I mean, he was part of what was the name of that communist group that he was people believe he may have started, may have written a communist book, but there's no evidence of it, but his fingerprints are all over it. These are people that have recently. William Ayers. William Ayers on 9/11 said "I don't think we did enough when we were throwing bombs." These are people that were there.
Now, you know all this, but have you put this piece together? Because this is what happened to me last night before I went on the air: If you were in the 1960s and you were a radical and you believed in a Marxist revolution, you were crushed. And who crushed you? Well, the good God fearing grandparents that we all had that were going to church every Sunday, they all stood up, "These hippies, these people." Remember that: These hippies. Who crushed you? LBJ and Nixon. The man. Not the hippies. The man. And as you threw bombs, you realized the one thing that was on the chalkboard last night, that we are a religious and moral people. How did you pass healthcare? You passed it through your heart. They got it done because it's through your heart. And when your heart wasn't enough, they went for corruption, any means possible. But that's how they have done this. You hate people who are sick. You don't care about little children." They are about to do this with immigration: "You don't care about them because you hate them because they're different than you. You're a xenophobe, you don't want any foreigners in." You go for their heart. Now, if I was a radical in the 1960s and I say, how did we lose? We lost because we were in power. Arriving now: Cloward and Piven. What you need to do is collapse it from the inside. You need to get as many people from the welfare rolls onto it and collapse. But remember that there needs to be a framework that it collapses into. What that means is you must have power. It's not enough to be out on the streets. You must be Richard Nixon. You must have radicals at the top. Now, if I again am sitting there and I'm listening to that and I think, you know what really, what really killed us here was Americans don't like bomb throwers. They don't like hippies.
Let me give you now the quote from Van Jones: I am willing to drop the radical pose for the radical ends. People don't like hippies. People don't like Marxists or communists. They know that. They also know they don't like bomb throwers. They also know America is a country of forgiveness. "I threw a bomb in the past. Okay, that was my youth. I was crazy. It was an indiscretion. Stop talking about the past. Don't you have forgiveness? Your Christian charity, you don't forgive and forget?"
So now they're in power, the people who have plotted a revolution. They were plotting it in the Sixties. Some of them still talk about throwing bombs and everything else, doing whatever they have then what happens? They what? What? What after this? If you're going to take over, if you're going to end it, if you want to have the true fundamental transformation of America, what you do is you have to reverse the roles. You have to put yourself in the role of LBJ, the man, and you need to put the man, you need to put the good Christian people in your role from the 1960s, the ones with the signs and the banners in the streets. Because you can manipulate them like crazy because you know what the man did to you that pissed you off! You know what the man was doing to you that made you say, "I gotta get a bomb!" And you also know that doesn't work. So if they are now at the top, why do you think they are needling and poking and prodding all the time? Why do you think they slap you down on healthcare and just as you're getting up, they punch you in the face with immigration? Why do you think they are being so divisive? If you are a loving parent and you discipline your child, the first thing you do is hug them so you are not estranged from that child, so your child doesn't say, "My daddy doesn't love me." But what have they done? They gave us a spanking on healthcare and then they punched us in the face. They want you to say "Daddy doesn't love me." They need you to be estranged from them. They need you to pick up a gun or a bomb. They need you to break the law. They need you to become them in the 1960s. They need you to do it. Because they know America does not support those kinds of people and they have become legitimate. They have dropped the radical pose for the radical ends, and they are making you the radical. Do not play into their game. They hold all of the cards. Do not do anything but get on your knees. As we turn to him, he will turn to us. This is his land. Let it play out his way. Do not pick up anything... except your soul. They need you to become radical.
I see Becks point, but still wonder how long "peace" will hold out and/or work to fix our current situation? I fear what might eventually have to happen...
The democrats want to incite violence from the right. That is what is important to understand.
I suggest that we nurture the anger growing at Obama on the left.
Felons. DC as a State. Illegals legalized.
If you make the voters mad . . . just get new voters.
This is the most likely path to dictatorship right now. Substitute new voters for a while to maintain the form of a democratic republic.
Interesting that Beck, the biggest prominant “firebrand” right now is making a call for peace. And good. He probably realizes better than the other talking heads on the right the mood of the country right now . . . and it scares him.
I’m with him. Win. We have to win.
He doesn’t want to be hauled of to prison never to be heard from again. He and Rush will probably get a cell next to Noriega. Is he still alive? See how easy it is to forget?
But don’t be surprised to see Beck or Rush go quiet. If you’re threatened with the power of this country’s police force and know you can’t win, what would you do?
Beck knows him sacrificing his one little life will not accomplish anything. And that’s what the left wants him to do.
I get frustrated so much that I want to hear the calls to rebellion. But I know now is not the time.
Beck may fold but Rush will die with his Golden EIB microphone transmitting.

Conservatives have the power in the countryside, in a way that the Constitution gave that allows them to go around Congress, the President and not be held hostage by regions of large concentrated populations.
I suggest you study and understand this power and do not fear it:

read, study and understand for when the time is right, you will know what to do and what to tell those around you.
“I suggest that we nurture the anger growing at Obama on the left.”
Good idea.
I won’t waste an opportunity to remind liberals that Obama’s rhetoric about bringing down the evil insurance companies has led to making them contractors with millions of new forced customers.
I think it’s a bad idea for a constitutional convention, so if that’s the route you are suggesting, it’s just a bigger can of worms that can turn uglier than what we have in front of us, already, IMO
Good and keep it up. The libs are all upset because we are no longer being Mr.niceguy and are using Alinsky’s rules against them. We are never backing down and are in this fight to the death.
You should study it. Think of how many counties that conservatives control because the convention does not pass anything, it only proposes but the people in the countryside decide whether what is proposed is ratified (passed), and little Idaho is as powerful as California.
There has been a lot of fear tactics used to make people react just like you did. It’s a “can of worms”. The Left likes you to think that because they know if the people in the countryside ever wake up to what the framers gave them in the Constitution, they will lose.
You should study before jumping to a fearful opinion.
One step at a time we are going. The convention will follow when the time is right. First we must destroy the enemy and then put the pieces into place to ensure they never rise again.
I’m with Lucky. No Constitutional Convention. Compare the founders with the politicians we have. I love Sarah Palin, but I’ll pick Adams, Hamilton, Washington, Franklin etc. over her any day of the week, night and day, year after year if the task is writing a Constitution. Now compare the minute men to today’s electorate . . . I’ll pick the country with the minute men to ratify that Constitution.
Ping to mention of you
All this talk about dolling up in camo and going out in a blaze of glory is pure BS. If the time ever comes to fight the Powers That Be, the armed forces (or some portion thereof) will do the fighting, not some online yahoo with a beer gut who has seen Red Dawn 256 times. To paraphrase the late Gen. George S. Patton, guys like that know as much about fighting as they do about fornicating -- that is, NOTHING.
Talk radio is for idiots. I don't listen to it, and I'm not a Glenn Beck fan. He's wrong about a lot of things. But he's right on this one.
The founders you mention were but a small, very small part of the convention then.
The convention must be called by the states, and must have a purpose but the convention will never pass anything, never. They are not allowed to by law.
The convention can only *propose* to the people in the countryside and suggest to local conventions what must be amended.
For example, an amendment *proposal* to repeal the 16th amendment. Would the people in the country vote to ratify that? Because if they replaced the tax code of today with a much more growth oriented, simple and corruption resistant code, then socialism would nearly die. The present tax code gives the Left their power.
For example, an amendment *proposal* to repeal the 17th amendment? This amendment has disconnected and weakened the states from the people in their state by having to bend to federal mandates; there have been non-stop unfunded federal mandates since the 17th was passed. Repealing the 17th will help reverse the centralization of power, the central command and help give people in states more local control.
A convention could propose nonsensical amendments such as ‘reparations’, guaranteed 4-day work weeks, guaranteed 1-month vacations and free health care for all. But it will never receive attention when sent back to the states and countryside for ratification. The beauty of the process is that it does not depend on population for ratification. Detroit, Cleveland and a host of blue centers of Left power will lose.
That’s why you are asked to study and not be fearful. If all else fails, and the time is right you will be educated. Look at a map of red states and red counties, and you should feel more confident of the power you hold.
“First we must destroy the enemy...”
In the face of the current socialist tsunami, it seems likely the 2010 elections will be the last opportunity for decades.
If the elections are unsuccessful, there is every reason to believe the Marxists will continue with their agenda whereupon the next significant event will likely be the 2d American Revolution in Beck’s writing.
“The convention will follow when the time is right.”
ASAP after successful 2010 elections.
Beyond HC, there is currently amnesty, Cap and Trade and the financial reform bills.
One could argue a convention will be the only efficient fix.
Fortunately, the states may indeed call a convention for specific and limited purposes.
But you are a monarchist, so who gives a shit what you think?
Your mom.
