Glenn Beck may hate socialism and communism, but he showed he shares a materialistic worldview with Marx, Engels and Saul Alinksy in a recent conversation with Bill O'Reilly.

scvw, listen I said I mean you no persinal offense in saying that, because I don’t.
I am an honest person, to a fault, and I see the same in Beck.
That is all I meant.
You remind me of McCain.
I have found this to be the answer to so many posts on so many of these anti-Glenn threads, especially when that phony, admitted-to-being-completely-made-up rape charge stuff was posted here daily. It's tiresome -- as Glenn suggested at the beginning of the year, no more arguing with idiots.
Hey, makes no difference. There was was no offense taken. I do not believe Beck is as honest as he wants people to think he is. I used to think he was, but something has happened in the last few years to greatly change my opinion of him. I don’t know if he has different handlers or he is sloppy in his research but he is not the same guy.
Agreed. But you and I will be slammed for making that observation.
Thanks, scvw. I think I worded my original post to you in a way that was problematic, and it’s my fault.
I have had a problem or two with Beck myself on a couple of different things, but in terms of his honesty, I do believe that he says exactly what is inside of him with no deception.
The reason that I say this is because at certian times he appears incapable of hiding or disguising his emotions. They simply take over. I am the same way when I discuss certain things. Now I am not a cry baby or anything like that, but when I am telling another person about some things that are very important to me, about the things that make up my core foundation as a human being, and how I came to learn and embrace these things, sometimes it makes me cry spontaneously (not like a badbbling fool, but maybe just a tear or two).
I see that the same thing occurs to Beck from time to time, and when I do, I know without a doubt that he is an honest man trying to impart something that means a great deal to him. Glenn does have his faults, no doubt, but I do not believe that honesty or truthfulness is among them.
Again, scvw, I regret the way I worded my original post to you.
You remind me of my ex-wife...she didn't have much of a sense of humor either.
I’m sure everything reminds you of your exwife.
I am horrified by the current trend of an imperial judiciary and believe I am with the vast majority in my thinking. Whether Glenn Beck agrees with me or not doesn't matter, I'll continue to listen to him.
I agree with him more than I disagree him and believe his overall contribution to conservative politics is overwhelmingly positive.
And WND’s “interpretation” of Beck's interview on O’Reilly will have no effect on my opinion, because they are primarily agenda driven.
I have to say that I love Beck, but there’s something about him that really scares me. I just hope he isn’t a pied piper for the non-thinkers.
I think he would. He probably has another real job.
ahhhhhhh. Stop apologizing. It’s making me nuts. (and I really don’t have far to go).
We just have differing views of Beck, really its that simple.
How do you love him and scared of him at the same time?
Understood.
You know, I have often that that Glenn has a different way about him on his radio show. With Pat and Stu, he is much more irreverent on things, likes to be funny, perhaps in part due to his old DJ days.
On his TV show he seems to take things much more seriously. I think that it is here that a viewer gets a bit closer to the real Beck. If you have not seen it, I do invite you to at least give it a shot, and see if you arrive at a different opinion of him. His delivery is not for everyone though, however, I am very happy that he is on the side of America in this most trying of times.
A very good question. And the answer will never be understood by mortal man.
Did you follow the link on post 56? Actually in that story Farah is just suggesting that they give the woman who ran over her cheating husband a medal and if he were on the jury he would let her go. The one I was talking about, he actually thought adultery should be a crime, punishable by death. The only difference in this story and the one I read is the woman did the killing, not the state... but Farah was still advocating death for adultery.
Now lets see if you are big enough to admit you were wrong, and apologize for calling me a liar….
As I SAID, I love and appreciate the research he does on the Progressive movement and the Founding Fathers, while I’m afraid he will try to lead his flock to the Libertarian party and ensure Democrat control of the country for generations.
