GLENN BECK CLAIMS HE HAS LEARNED TO THINK BEFORE HE SPEAKS
TDC ^ | 1:22 PM 09/04/2018 | Betsy Rothstein | Reporter

American conservative political commentator Glenn Beck is staging a nationwide intervention.

That alone should give people reason to fear for the the state of our nation.

But seriously, the guy who has spent plenty of time on TV crying and stirring up scandal and conspiracy theories on his radio show, thinks the country is addicted to rage, which just so happens to be the name of his new book.

Beck seems to have some self-awareness that he has contributed to the problem.

“After learning the hard way about the importance of thinking before speaking, Glenn invites audiences to have intimate conversation about overcoming America’s partisan divide by thinking like recovering addicts,” says a note from his publicist, Allison Bartella.

His book hits the shelves September 18.

Beck wants his readers to think like addicts. After all, he thinks of himself as a “professional drunk.” In real life, he is acquainted with alcohol — after what he believes to be the drowning suicide of his mother and stepbrother, he has said he turned to Jack Daniels for help. He is technically a recovering alcoholic and addict who also has ADHD. He credits Alcoholics Anonymous with helping him get sober.

“In his new book, the New York Times bestselling author challenges readers to think like recovering addicts to overcome America’s outrage addiction, partisan resentment and division,” the release states.

“With a nod to the traditional twelve-step program and drawing from lessons learned as a self-proclaimed former ‘professional drunk,’ Beck encourages readers to grow through self-reflection. He believes Americans are now less accepting and forgiving than in the past, creating a divide that may lead to the destruction of fundamental American ideals.”

The problem is he’s still talking. He is impossible to listen to.

Oh for pity sake. Americans don’t need to be told how to think. They are in the beginning stages of a revolutionary war. The left was allowed to get too big and their ideology too entrenched. Now the right, the patriots are trying to reclaim their country from the powerful, vile, evil left. It’s as simple as that.

Agree.

He looks terrible, too, btw.

I guess that’s what happens when you sell your soap/self to evil.

He's learned to think? Yeah, good one. What's next, Beck, gonna set up a special cross-border Uber service for illegals? Maybe you could call it ShopLyft.

He’s learned nothing. If he had, he’d be under psychiatric treatment and far from a microphone.

Who is Glenn Beck?

I remember years ago there was a funny guy on the radio with a name like that.
Then he went nuts.
