I personally like Glenn but hysteria is his stock in trade. It’s really just emotional appeal.

No, he’s actually right on this one. I’ve been following it.

“I personally like Glenn but hysteria is his stock in trade.”

I graduated high school in California in 2008 and having seen first hand the nightmare that is public indoctrination in California I can tell you that my problem with Glenn Beck here is that I don’t think he’s hysterical enough.

And if you think he’s wrong then you’re not paying attention.

Yep. I figured this out when I still lived in Seattle. His teasers on his radio show followed by...nothing did me in. I actually only listened off an on for a few weeks. It’s all it took.

Beck is about 80 percent hysteria...20 percent balanced reporting. This is why I quit listening around 8 years ago.

[ckilmer]

beck is right on this.

The burning man festival regularly has people running into the fire at the end of the festival to immolate themselves. Its strictly voluntary.

But in another age it will not be voluntary.

Actually while Becks own religion contains perverse teachings (a polygamous God who was once a man, as believers are to become; a false gospel of salvation thru obedience to egotistical polygamous bigamist Joe Smith; a christ who is the brother of Lucifer; the 10 "lost" tribes inhabiting S. America and having a tremendous climatic battle in Palmyra, NY; using the sword of man to fight opposition, including the U.S. Army and destroying a printing press, etc.) yet in this case Beck is expanding upon a account from the nationalreview.com: Against California’s Ethnic-Studies Curriculum By The Editors March 18, 2021 6:30 AM

To graduate from high school in the state of California, students have to take just three years of English and two years of math. Democrats in the state are now trying to add another subject to these paltry requirements, which are among the most lax and lenient in the nation. Chemistry, biology, physics, history, geography, civics, and foreign languages have all been passed over. As it turns out, the subject that California’s political machine wants taught to all children in the state without exception is ethnic studies...

Teachers are encouraged by the authors of the curriculum to lead students in traditional indigenous chants, songs, and prayers to the Aztec gods. One lesson plan recommends that students clap and chant to the god Tezkatlipoka — traditionally worshipped with human sacrifice and cannibalism — asking him to grant students the power to be “warriors” for “social justice.”...

If this curriculum is endorsed by California’s Board of Education and manages somehow to pass constitutional muster, 6 million American children could soon have it forced upon them from the age of 5 or 6 all the way up through the dawn of their adulthood.
