All week on radio and TV Glenn asked the tough questions -- because our republic is being transformed before our very eyes. The time for silent dissent has long passed, and now the hard questions need to be asked. Maybe there are perfectly logical explanations for Obama's 'Civilian National Security Force' he wants funded as well as the military. But what is it? Who are the radical Czars in the White House, and why are they there? Does the President actually listen to Communist ideas? Here is the ENTIRE RECAP of this weeks shows -- the monologues, the questions, the amazing interview with Rush Limbaugh and more. Please, read it and pass it around to all of your friends. These questions need to be asked and answered. Get started!

Question with Boldness
You need to start asking questions:
Day 1
- Can we survive this debt? If yes, how?
- Why the rush on health care reform, cap-and-trade?
- Who is writing these bills?
- Will Washington read and understand the bills?
- Why are you called "grassroots" if you are for, but "Astroturf" if you are against?
- Our unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?
- We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and health care programs before we stop the flow of red ink?
- The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN: How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?
- If it was so important for Congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it, why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent six months later?
- Former President Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them; how exactly does that work?
- Why wont member of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?
- Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?
- Was the "cash for clunkers" program meant to save the Earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?
- How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist, become a special adviser to the president?
- Did President Obama know of Van Jones radical political beliefs when he named him special adviser?
- The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill; why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?
- If politicians arent writing the bills and arent reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1,000-page plus bills actually impose on the American people?
- If the "public option" health care plan is so good, why wont politicians agree to have that as their plan?
- If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn whats on our mind, why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?
- Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldnt come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?
- Why would you want to overwhelm the system?
- Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through Congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about not letting a crisis go to waste?
- What are the president's "czars" paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?
Day 2
- Who is "surrounding" the president in the White House?
- Do any of the president's advisers have criminal records?
- Are the president's advisers working to better the country or their own ideals?
- Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?
- What role do they have in crafting bills?
- What was "STORM"? What happened to the founders; where are they now?
- What qualifications must one have to be a presidential adviser?
- What is the difference between a community organizer and a community activist?
- Do the "czars" have power?
- Should a communist have the ear of the president of the United States?
- What role did the Apollo Alliance play in crafting bills?
- Does the president know the co-founder of the Weather Underground is a board member of the Apollo Alliance?
- How many people in the administration are connected to the Movement for a Democratic Society?
- What role does George Soros play... constitutionally?
Day 3
- Why does the FCC have a diversity "czar"?
- Who is Mark Lloyd and how does he plan to "balance" the airwaves?
- Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine or worse?
- Cass Sunstein once said he wants to balance the Internet; is that next?
- Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation?
- Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government wont regulate free speech?
- Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?
If Lloyd has his way, stations who don't comply to the governments definition of the "public interest" will have to pay a massive fine that helps support public broadcasting:
- What will be the definition of "public interest"?
- Who defines "public interest"?
- Why should it be balanced? Because it's public airwaves? (Well, there are public roads that go by my house and I don't count how many Republicans and Democrats are driving on them)
Day 4
- Why do we need a civilian force?
- Who is posing a threat to us?
- Who will this "force" be made up of?
- Who is the real enemy?
- Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?
- Why won't the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army?

All the President's Men

This is probably the hardest week of broadcast in my life.
I have been trying to figure out what's going on with my country since President Bush argued with a straight face that he could protect America while keeping our borders wide open. You and I both knew at the time that was a lie. You were angry, but you also had a life (family, job) and probably didn't start watching things closely. Because of my job, I did.
Over the last few years, I have come to believe things that I don't want to believe. They are uncomfortable and have made me much to the aid of Jon Stewart's wallet weep for my country.
I told you on Monday that there are three principles this show will drum through:
Question with boldness
Hold to the truth
Speak without fear
Let me focus on the second one for a bit.
If you truly ask what Jefferson called honest questions, with a sincere heart, the answers may take you to very uncomfortable places.
Nobody wants to think our president is a bad guy; President Obama actually seems like a likeable guy. And he may be the greatest guy ever. But is he in step with you and what you believe this country is?
When you hear the evidence, you have a decision to make: Will I bury my head in the sand, refusing to believe because it doesn't fit my agenda or my comfort level? Or will I hold to the truth whatever it is, so I may be a part of the solution and not an enabler to the problem.
On Monday night's show, I asked the tough questions on the president's special advisers his "czars." They have the ear of the president of the United States; we should know more about them. What are they telling him? Does he listen to them? Who are they?
The first one we talked about was Van Jones a self proclaimed radical, revolutionary communist; a man who co-founded an organization, whose own concluding documents said:
"Mobilizing young people of color into militant direct action and combine it with more deeply-rooted organizing in our communities."
When we asked the White House if they knew about Jones' radical roots and if it gave them pause to make him a special adviser, the White House told us he was "focused on only one issue."
That is not an answer to the question. And beyond that, he's a communist focused on job creation? What jobs does a communist create?
Let me continue to ask: Who has the president surrounded himself with?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
THEN PRESIDENTIAL-CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA: Let me tell you who I associate with. On economic policy, I associate with Warren Buffett and former Fed Chairman Paul Volcker. If I'm interested in figuring out my foreign policy, I associate myself with my running mate, Joe Biden, or with Dick Lugar, the Republican ranking member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, or General Jim Jones, the former supreme allied commander of NATO. Those are the people, Democrats and Republicans, who have shaped my ideas and who will be surrounding me in the White House.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
We already know of at least five radical leftists currently advising our president and these are just the ones who are open about their radical beliefs and far-left ideas:
Van Jones, green jobs "czar" admits he's a communist
John Holdren, science "czar" proposed "compulsory sterilization" and forced abortions to control population
Cass Sunstein, regulatory "czar" proposed bans on hunting and eating meat and proposed that your dog to be allowed to have an attorney in court. And a fairness doctrine for the Internet, which he has since stepped away from
Carol Browner, global warming "czar" was part of Socialist International, a group for "global governance"
Ezekiel Emmanuel, health care adviser proponent of the Complete Lives System, which puts values on lives based mostly by age
How many Marxists, communists and anti-capitalists do you have around you on a daily basis?
But President Obama doesn't just have socialists and communists advising him. On Monday night I told you about the people who helped write the stimulus: the Apollo Alliance.
Jeff Jones, one of the leaders of the Apollo Alliance, may or may not have ever advised the president we don't know because we can't get the entrance records at the White House.
But we do know this: Jones' organization, which he chairs in New York, had a lot to do with the stimulus bill according to Harry Reid:
"This legislation is the first step in building a clean energy economy that creates jobs.... The Apollo Alliance has been an important factor in helping us develop and execute a strategy that makes great progress on these goals and in motivating the public to support them."
Does the president know he's had two pretty big encounters with the founders of the Weather Underground? A group that bombed government buildings?
We asked the White House we are still waiting on a response.
By the way, we've also told you that the White House has tried or wanted to go around the FBI to have vetting done by the White House. I would think that based on what's happening here at the White House, it's pretty important to have an outside eye vet some of the people who may be advising our president.
How many times do we have to find a Marxist, communist, socialist, a revolutionary or, what seems amazing to me, a simple anti-capitalist near, around or advising the president of the United States before we ask the question, when he promises this:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
OBAMA: We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
Is he promising to transform us into something unrecognizable to most Americans, but not unrecognizable to Hugo Chavez: "Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right!"
Is it un-American, hateful or outrageous to sincerely and honestly ask this question when the communist president of Venezuela says that?
------
Speak Without Fear
Watch |
We're halfway through the week and here are just a few of the things we've learned so far:
Congress, beyond not reading these bills, is not even writing these bills. They are being written by a vast network that is not conspiratorial it is completely out and wide open yet the media refuses to report on them.
Organizations that are filled with socialists, communists, revolutionaries. Organizations that pull their members from legitimate businesses, politicians and from groups that most Americans have never heard of, like Movement for a Democratic Society a group started by members of the Communist Party USA, other radicals and Socialists of America.
I have demonstrated these radicals are not only instrumental in shaping legislation that's being jammed through, but are also -- by invitation -- personally advising the president of the United States.
And again the media remains silent.
These are facts not opinions. I want to point out the silence; no one has challenged these facts they just attack me personally.
Day 3 and the White House remains silent. Yet they have e-mailed my show during the broadcast, only to refute that these people are not "czars," they are "special advisers." One would think if all of this weren't true, they would worry about the labels "communist" or "revolutionary," not "special adviser."
I've also showed you the framework that to quote Barack Obama is "fundamentally transforming America." But this is much bigger than Barack Obama. Powerful special interest groups began to lay this framework over the last few years.
Remember the Green Jobs Act during the Bush administration? Many on Capitol Hill voted for it because they claimed it was unfunded with meaningless language, tucked into a 900-page bill. Heck, it only asked for $125 million (requested by the special interest group, the Apollo Alliance).
Now, that meaningless, unfunded, green act doesn't have $125 million, but rather $500 million that was to use green jobs "czar" Van Jones' word "smuggled" into the stimulus bill.
That money is now being funneled by Van Jones (a self-proclaimed revolutionary communist) to organizations and programs of his design and choosing. Oh, and he sits on the board of the Apollo Alliance.
What new "harmless compromises" do we have to look forward to in the health care bills with these radical wolves that are about to devour our republic?
I've told you the three mottos that I have personally adopted: Question with boldness; hold to the truth, and speak without fear.
This information is not being reported on just because the media can't be piece together quickly enough what is happening or they somehow agree with this revolutionary agenda but fear also plays a big role. People have too much to lose.
As a recovering alcoholic, I've already lost everything once; I'm better and stronger for it. I didn't need a bailout; I needed to rediscover my principles. I've told my audience for years after I sobered up that I was a dirt-bag I try my hardest not to be now, but I still make mistakes. They can take my job or my wealth that's OK because I've been rich and I've been poor. But I was only truly miserable when I was lying to myself or others. And because some of those principles that I've rediscovered and applied to my life are the founding principles of this country.
I know that even if the current powers that be succeed in making me poor again, I will only be stronger for it. And American ingenuity will find another way to get this message out on a platform 1,000 times more powerful.
Because of my faith, I know how this story ends: America prepare to witness mighty, powerful miracles in your lifetime.
I am going to offer up evidence that part of the strategy of the fundamental transformation of America is to silence dissent.
Let me show you one of the most diabolical hidden parts of the plan, that quite honestly when I finished my research on it last week, I wrote to a friend that for the first time, I am truly frightened.
It involves the new diversity "czar" at the FCC.
I have told you for a long time: Pay no attention to the Fairness Doctrine that would shut down voices like mine on the radio or voices like mine and Bill O'Reilly on TV. It's too obvious. They will do it through what's called "localism" and "diversity." The final piece of the argument will be against these giant corporate broadcast groups that have too much power (one of which will never be G.E.)
This has been my warning and my theory. A week and a half ago, I began to look into our FCC diversity "czar" Mark Lloyd. In his 2006 book, "Prologue to a Farce: Communications and Democracy in America," Lloyd wrote:
"It should be clear by now that my focus here is not freedom of speech or the press.... This freedom is all too often an exaggeration.... At the very least, blind references to freedom of speech or the press serve as a distraction from the critical examination of other communications policies."
Freedom of speech... is a distraction?
Localism boards are being created. Our diversity "czar" has just proposed that radio companies pay 100 percent of their operating budget, yearly. A 100 percent tax which would then be transferred to the state-run radio of NPR. If you can't pay that, you'd lose your license and it would be sold to minority group.
(In a completely unrelated fact, the FCC just approved the sale of another radio station this one on Long Island to ACORN.)
Speak without fear.
On global warming, people didn't speak because they didn't want to be seen as a Holocaust denier or a flat-Earther. So they passed "harmless legislation." Now we have half a billion dollars in the hands of a communist revolutionary, who describes his job as:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
VAN JONES, GREEN JOBS CZAR: What I do, to kinda make it simple, I'm basically a community organizer inside the federal government.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
And now because no one in their right mind is against diversity, people will be afraid of being called a racist or a bigot or a hatemonger.
Speak without fear or more "harmless legislation" will be passed and you will not be able to speak and you will experience the kind of fear that no one in this country has experienced before. All it will take is an "emergency."
God help us all.

Barack Obama's Civilian Army
1:01 ET
|
Thursday's show, I believe, it's the most controversial of all the shows this week and maybe ever.
I will give you some facts, some history but also some of the future.
The reason Thursday's show is the last before Friday's solution, I wanted you to see who was advising the president and what they are doing, before I could ask you to look at this phrase from Barack Obama and think he meant it literally:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
THEN-PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BARACK OBAMA: We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
I don't know how anyone will respond to the facts I am going to present, because they really haven't responded to any of our questions or challenged any of the facts in our last few shows other than "Hey, don't call him a 'czar!'"
But I can't make this piece of the puzzle fit, unless this piece is about building some kind of thug-ocracy.
All week we've been asking tough questions here's one more, Mr. President: Why do we need a civilian national security force that is "just as strong, just as powerful" as the military?
Here's why I ask this question: Who are we fighting? Who internally is threatening our security?
It's clearly not because we feel there is a threat from illegal aliens crossing the border, because anyone who would say that has been deemed a racist. A civilian national security force on the border is called The Minuteman and the attitude from this administration as well as the Bush administration is that they were "vigilantes." So it's not for the border.
It can't be a civilian national security force against Islamic extremists, because according to this administration we aren't even at war against Islamic extremists anymore. Is this administration really going to ask the American people to profile and call-in tips on Muslim Americans who act suspiciously?
So, who's left? Is it possible we are seeing the beginnings of another enemy?
Mr. President, is your civilian national security force to protect us from things the Missouri State Police, your own Homeland Security and the liberal Southern Law Poverty Center have come out and said were a threat: militia groups; tea party goers; folks with "Don't Tread on Me" flags; me; Sarah Palin?
Think about this: Is it unreasonable to think this government would ask you to spy on your neighbors, in light of these recent stories:
Flag.gov e-mail asking for tips on "fishy" behavior
Cookies on your computer that track whenever you've been on a government Web site this used to be illegal but that was changed
The government is using outside companies to track and contact you. Are they gathering information on you? I know that on "cash for clunkers" they didn't trust the dealers.
To me, all of this sounds like a sci-fi movie, but again I have to ask the reasonable question, in these unreasonable times: Who will the civilian national security force protect us from?
Maybe a better question to ask is, Mr. President: Do you know of a coming event?
Or maybe we should ask Joe Biden, who said:
(BEGIN AUDIO CLIP)
THEN-VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JOE BIDEN: Mark my words, it will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy. The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America.... Remember I said it standing here, if you don't remember anything else I said: Watch, we're gonna have an international crisis, to test the mettle of this guy.
(END AUDIO CLIP)
Is this civilian national security force just preparing for what Joe Biden predicted?
Who builds an army against an unidentified, unrecognized threat? Because we can't answer that question or any of the others just proposed then it's up to us to look for clues.
Maybe we have to start with the company whose CEO is a close financial adviser to the president of the United States, who helped write the health care bill and cap-and-trade bill and who has billions of dollars at stake: Jeffrey Immelt.
Immelt has been appointed by president to the board of directors to the New York Federal Reserve. Does he have any information? Let's look for what they may be saying the threat will be that we will need a civilian national security force against.
It would seem to me the network that sells "Yes We Did" dolls, mugs and t-shirts and is obviously extraordinarily close to the president in seven different ways is it possible to watch their network and their news, to see if they have any inside information as to what this threat may be? Immelt's network seems to be the leading network in predicting a lot of trouble, but they're not alone:
(BEGIN VIDEO MONTAGE)
ED SCHULTZ RADIO SHOW: Folks, these people are psycho. That's what they are. Sometimes I think they want Obama to get shot. I do. I really think that there are conservative broadcasters in this country who would love to see Obama taken out.
FRANK RICH, NEW YORK TIMES COLUMNIST: I'm just old enough, I was a kid, I remember I woke up in 1963 to the horrible events in Dallas. Even as a kid, I happened to be growing up in Washington, D.C., it was palatable to me all this hate talk about Kennedy and this sort of crazy fear.... But there were a lot of threats. There was a lot of stuff going on that in tone resembles this.
SEN. BARBARA BOXER, D-CALIF.: All of this is a diversion by the people who want to, frankly, hurt President Obama. And by the way I saw some of the clips of people storming these townhall meetings. The last time I saw well-dressed people doing this, was when Al Gore asked me to go down to Florida when they were recounting the ballots, and I was confronted with the same type of people. They were there screaming and yelling, "Go back to California! Get out of here!" and all the rest of it.
CONTESSA BREWER, MSNBC: "A man at a pro-health care reform rally just outside, wore a semiautomatic assault rifle on his shoulder and a pistol on his hip.... The Associated Press reports about a dozen people in all at that event were visible carrying firearms.... There are questions about whether this has racial overtones. I mean, here you have a man of color in the presidency and white people showing up with guns strapped to their waists.
(END VIDEO MONTAGE)
Is it reasonable to ask the question based on these clips do they think that a good portion of the American people are the enemy? They are such a danger we need a civilian national security force as well-funded and well-trained as the military?
That's who they think the enemy is and, once again, the media has it completely wrong.
So who is the real enemy?
"Common Sense" has been No. 1 for the last 10 weeks. One of the last chapters is "The Enemy Within" I wrote it months ago. It doesn't take a genius to figure this out let me give you this quote:
"It's not just the political class who has mastered the art of deception. There are other potentially deadly masters who will seek to exploit your frustration and sense of desperation. Many will warn you of government tyranny; they'll talk of secret societies, vast conspiracies, shadow governments, and the need for violent action. I urge you to stay away from these individuals and those ideas."
We've showed you the radicals in this administration. Now I'll show you the radicals outside the administration who are being used and will be used by the media and by this administration:
There was the Obama Joker poster creator; the right tried to take advantage of this and added the word "socialist" under it. But the creator of the poster is a Kucinich supporter who doesn't like Obama because he's not left enough.
Then there was that clip on MSNBC: The racist white person (according to MSNBC) who brought a rifle to the Obama town hall wasn't even white! He was black.
In Denver, Maurice Joseph Schwenkler and an at-large accomplish smashed in windows at the Democratic Party HQ in Denver. Both parties accused Schwenkler of supporting the other, but he's a "trans-gendered anarchist" who belongs to the radical anarchist protest group Denver Bash Back.
While the radicals in the White House may not be connected to the radicals just mentioned, they are connected by the fact that they are radicals.
Remember, Obama adviser "czar" Jones created STORM who believes: "Revolutionaries need to be militant in street actions. As leaders in the fight for liberation, we should be role models of fearlessness before the state and the oppressor."
These are the sort of tactics some of Obama's "czars" know best.
So when we've got a president creating a "civilian force" as strong as the military and an admitted far-left radical in the White House doing this:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
VAN JONES, GREEN JOBS 'CZAR': Actually, my job is not so dissimilar than my job was before.... What I do, can I make it simple, I'm basically a community organizer with the federal family.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
How else am I supposed to read this? I'm happy to hear any other explanation than "don't call him a czar."

A Call to Action
|
What a week.
The president said he was going to fundamentally transform America. Since January 20, he's been racing full steam ahead toward doing just that. This week, can you feel a pivot point? Doesn't it feel like, as a nation, we are waking up?
We've showed you some amazing, frightening facts and the White House hasn't challenged any of it.
Unfortunately, I guess that means they agree with the information we've presented on people like green jobs "czar" Van Jones. He's an avowed communist and radical activist who co-founded the communist group STORM a group that describes themselves and their activities as:
"We upheld the Marxist critique of capitalist exploitation. We agree with Lenin's analysis of the state and the party. And we found inspiration and guidance in the insurgent revolutionary strategies developed by third world revolutionaries like Mao Tse-Tung and Amilcar Cabral."
The White House hasn't bothered to even spin the information we presented on FCC diversity "czar" Mark Lloyd. This guy actually lamented the fact that non-state-run radio stations prevented the "incredible" revolution in Venezuela:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MARK LLOYD, FCC DIVERSITY CHIEF: In Venezuela, with Chavez, really an incredible revolution a democratic revolution to begin to put in place saying that we're going to have impact on the people of Venezuela the property owners and the folks who were then controlling the media in Venezuela rebelled work frankly with folks here in the U.S. government worked to oust him and came back and had another revolution. And Chavez then started to take the media very seriously in this country.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
That pesky private sector! It's just littered with that non-propaganda talk.
Lloyd has talked about balancing out the airwaves and that's not just conservatives, that's everyone who doesn't agree with the state. Again, the White House is not disputing any of this. That should frighten you. Especially in light of the story on Drudge today about the bill that would give Obama emergency control of the Internet. Wait, that sounds familiar... oh yeah, that's "czar" Cass Sunstein's idea.
How about the New York chair of the Apollo Alliance the people who designed the stimulus package? His name is Jeff Jones. Before deciding who to give your tax money to, Jones co-founded the Weather Underground with Bill Ayers. The Weather Underground is a domestic terrorist group that came out of the communist revolutionary group Students for Democratic Society of the 1960s.
Does that bother the White House? Apparently not because they haven't denied any of this, nor have they fired anyone or even denounced these radical backgrounds. And the radical Jones is currently helping New York spend more of the stimulus.
Yet, the White House does seem pretty concerned about you.
The Department of Homeland Security warned of the rise in "right-wing militia" groups their report said if you are concerned about "legislation on tighter firearms" you could be in a "white supremacist militia movement."
They are name-calling you.
Saul Alinsky's big strategy was to take the enemy out of their comfort zone. Van Jones and all of these "czars" know this; they are radicals. To quote Van Jones: "We need to be about the whup-a**. Somebody's f****ng up somewhere. They have names and job descriptions. You have to be creative about how you engage the enemy, because if you do it on his terms, the outcome is already known."
You are fighting on their level. We're taking it. We're being called greedy hate-mongers who only care about profits whatever else and we cower.
Tonight, I am going to lay out a plan.
Step 1: Fear not and take them on.
We've been fighting on their terms afraid to say anything. It's time to forget that! Let's make them uncomfortable with the facts:
You think I want to starve inner-city children? Really? Let's look at the policies where radical progressives have had control. The cities with the top 10 poverty rates in America have been run by Republicans only 8 percent of the time since 1965 and eight out of the 11 have been run by Democrats 100 percent of the time.
Am I the one that hurts education? Washington, D.C., has long been controlled by progressives. They spend $15,000 per student (the national average is $10,000), yet they are still ranked among the worst in the country: Only 60 percent of the kids graduate and only 9 percent will complete college within five years of graduating.
Am I reckless for supporting gun rights? In England they banned guns in 1998. For the next seven years, the number of deaths and injuries from gun crimes increased 340 percent because, guess what, criminals aren't going to wait on a background check on their way to shoot someone.
I'm "unpatriotic" and "cold-hearted" and even part of "the mob" for opposing government-run health care? When was the last time, in America, you saw patients in hospitals so thirsty they had to drink water from the nearby plants or 4,000 new moms being forced to give birth in hallways because of a shortage of rooms or see someone have their supposedly removed spleen suddenly rupture? Because all of those things did happen in the U.K., where they do have government health care.
The argument isn't about the facts anymore. When the shouters on either side are wrong, instead of admitting it, they just call you a hatemonger. They try and shame you into silence.
We need to screw our courage to the sticking place and, without fear, force them to face the tough questions no matter what name you're called or what threat you face because the truth shall set you free.
Sure, groups will come after you. If you disagree with man-made global warming the radicals will attack you and call you a flat-Earth believing, Holocaust-denying, selfish jerk who would rather drive an SUV than save the planet from certain destruction.
But the IPCC report that they so love to quote says the best way to fight global warming isn't by getting a Prius, it's by not eating meat. How many of your Earth-loving green friends are vegans? From here on out, when they start lecturing you about the planet, ask: Do you eat meat? Do you have leather shoes? If they say anything else other than "absolutely not," tell them to sit down and shut up. And when they stop doing more supposed damage with their steak, then you can talk to me about my SUV.
And maybe we'll also talk about the green jobs "czar," who sees green jobs like this:
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
VAN JONES, GREEN JOBS 'CZAR': We want a green economy that is strong enough to lift people out of poverty. We're not leaving anybody behind. We don't want an eco-elite economy.
We're talking about people that don't have a home. How do they get to be part of this green economy?
What good is a green economy if at the end of the day, it's just eco-apartheid anyway?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
Which is it: We need green jobs because the Earth has a temperature (like Al Gore said) or we need green jobs for social justice?
By the way, that's Marxist code language. Social justice equals "take from him and give to him."
America, don't you see it? This isn't about Republicans vs. Democrats. This is about Republicans and Democrats and Independents against radicals, revolutionaries and anti-capitalist nut jobs.
Almost all Americans love the Constitution and we may disagree with this policy or that, but the fundamental transformation the change that 80 percent of America was looking for was a driving out of the money changers those in bed with special interests, global corporations, Wall Street fat cats and political party hacks.
In the coming weeks on this program I'm going to ask you to continue to watch with a piece of paper because I'm going to continue to expose these connections and plans that are out of step with almost everybody in this country unless you live in the basement of Nancy Pelosi's house in the most radically progressive neighborhood in the country while eating arugula and roast beef sandwiches!
But we're also going to arm you with facts. It's time to be unafraid and stop fearing name-calling, because sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.
And just so you know, for those of you who are working for this revolution at the White House and SEIU and ACORN and Americorps, you should go back and listen to The Beatles' "White Album." Listen to a song, co-written by your progressive friend, John Lennon who got it.
Even during the peak of 1960s radicalism, the Beatles understood:
"You say you want a revolution.
Well, you know,
We all want to change the world.
You say you'll change the Constitution,
Well, you know,
We all want to change your head.
You tell me it's the institution,
Well, you know,
You better free your mind instead.
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao,
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow.
Don't you know know it's gonna be all right."

Beck keeps baiting Obama to tell who is the "civilian enemy" the Civilian National Security Force will be fighting..
THE MODUS OPERANDI Obama/Rahm/Holder are purposefully antagonizing large conservative groups in middle America in an effort to cause civil unrest. This would give them an excuse to declare Martial Law.
Americans need to be very vigilant: Obama and his loathsome admin are very calculated in their use of power. As dissent among the populace grows, they are capable of plotting staged events to boost their advantage.
If these arch-manipulators perceive there isnt measurable fear in the hearts of the people, they will create that fear to solidify their power. They know people will succumb to fear and will relinquish their God-given liberties when they are fearful.
We are witnessing the emergence of a new government dictatorship...on American soil. History tells us that the rampant corruption, fed by cronyism, are the nuts and bolts of dictatorships.
Dictatorships are almost always governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect each other from accountability.
ACORN---blindly loyal to Obama via federal-funding----is his personal Civilian Security Force, ready to silence the populace and march us to reeducation camps.
This week’s shows were the culmination of what he’s been piecing together since the coronation of King Zero. I expect that he will be focusing on updates and, more importantly, drilling further down into Zero’s admin and chosen henchmen.
