If the White House is trying to figure how it lost control of the debate over healthcare in August, it could take a look at Glenn Becks television and radio ratings. The conservative talk radio host, who also has an hourly slot on Fox News every day, has seen his viewer numbers soar even as opponents have pressed companies to withdraw advertising from the show.

I was listening to Glenns show a couple of weeks ago and he mentioned a prayer session he had just had at his church. His resolute tone that day sounded to me like Martin Luther King when King said: "Because I've been to the mountaintop, and I don't mind, like anybody I would like to live--a long life--longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now, I just want to do God's will, And he's allowed me to go up the mountain, And I've looked over. And I have seen the Promised Land. And I may not get there with you; I want you to know, tonight, yes, that we as a people will get to the Promised Land! So I'm happy tonight! I'm not worried about anything! I'm not fearing any man! Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!
I sensed this same kind of foreshadowing of martyrdom In Glenns voice that day.
I prey it doesn't happen as Glenn fearlessly speaks for us in a very dangerous time!

The threads from last week that seemed to have caught everyone's attention. Glenn has been terrific.
Last week's threads: Note: Glenn Beck entitled them the New Republic: America's Future with the word "Future" borken off and hanging down in the graphic for the title. In other words, it's Beck's title, not mine.

Glen was on FIRE yesterday. Freepers should tell “moderate” friends to take a look at Glen, or forward links to Glenn segments.

“some catastrophic event heading our way that will enable Bam to become the new Chavez, a dictator”
There have been a number of laws put into place recently under Bush and Zero that pretty much give the President complete control over the country if an “emergency” arises, so Beck isn’t at all off base on that one.

Well, obama has the FCC stacked so conservative radio programs can essentially be eliminated without having to get his hands, or those of his legislators dirtied.
I wonder how many “czars” or staff members are currently working on a plan to silence conservative television programs? I suspect it will come under the guise of a “crisis”, the same vague rationale that will be employed when the current administration takes control of the internet.
I just finished rereading Orwell's “1984” and I encourage all those for whom I have the deepest respect to do so. I read nearly all of the book in two evenings and had to put it down for a week before I could finish it. It was truly like reading the “socialist healthcare bill” or listening to strategies being implemented by obama and the left.
God help us save our Country.

The Endowment for the Arts got tons of money through the stimulus. Did you catch the part in the recording about some of it going to “Rock the Vote”?

maybe zero should understand a simple fact,
Beck has credibility since he is presenting facts, he is not lying day after day after day.
Obama on the other hand lies about EVERYTHING as does MSLSD. If they started telling the truth people may actually listen.

Ok and where did that left wing lie come from troll?
Some liberal mommy must be proud of her unemployed Obamabot living in the basement........
“and he was drunk while murdering a young woman,”
There’s more likely evidence verifying a real BO Kenyan Birth Certificate.

WE SURROUND THEM ! THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THERE ARE OF THEM! SILENT NO MORE ! Meanwhile, Obama's poll numbers continue to drop, -12 strong disapproval today with -7 total disapproval.
Obama must be going insane because of Beck. Beck needs to maintain security.

Where is the statement Obama, a former Cocaine user?
Maybe because "former" is still unknown.
