Via the Blaze, skip to 9:20 of the second clip for a bit about his chat with Ted Cruz. It occurs to me that this is, in a way, the opposite of Palin’s call for impeachment. Many grassroots righties support impeachment but there’s virtually no one in the political class, including tea-party heroes like Cruz, willing to pursue it.
In the case of Beck’s charity drive for kids from Central America who’ve been sent north across the border, some (maybe not quite “many”) grassroots righties oppose it on grounds that it’s adding an incentive for more illegals to come. But virtually everyone in the political class supports it — again, including tea-party heroes like Mike Lee and Cruz, who has an extra reason as a prospective 2016 candidate to pitch in here. Joining Beck’s charity drive is a way for Republicans who might take a tougher line on border enforcement than the rest of the presidential field to deflect the left’s inevitable accusations that they’re “heartless.” What Beck’s doing here, intentionally or not, by bringing people like Cruz into the fold is creating political space for conservatives to stand their ground on security.
I’m frankly surprised that other big-name righties like Rubio and Rand Paul haven’t asked to participate too, precisely for that reason. Although, in Rubio’s case, perhaps that would be … awkward.
If Democrats end up caving and endorsing some sort of expedited deportation process for the kids who are coming, would that reduce the incentive to cross the border sufficiently to make you support Beck’s charity drive? Or is there nothing to redeem this idea among its opponents?
Bingo. You’ve stated a perfect response to Beck’s *charitable* giving.
His listeners are sheeple. His agenda is liberal. His own church supports illegals and helps them lie about it and cover it up when needed (like to serve missions).
//This is a fiasco, and Glenn thinks his people are actually doing something good here?//
Yes, because to him it ‘feels’ good. Beck is all about feelings not facts.
Beck’s gone insane..and/or has a guilty conscious about S0METHING.
Yoda: ‘’Jumped the shark he has’’.
Beck’s supporters are notorious for being as eager to wallow in emotion as he is.
Country be damned, they get to feel good about helping the children! /S
How much have you raised for LEGAL immigrant children — you dumbass???
You hit the nail on the head, my friend.
AND SECURE THE FREAKIN BORDER! I used to be able to drive into Canada and they wouldn't even check my ID going in or coming out. Now I have to use my passport or pay NY for an “enhanced” drivers license (really nothing different just about $100 more). So we seem to be much more worried about my trip to Niagara Falls or Quebec where I pay my own way then the entire southern border.
// His fans are beginning to remind me of a cult.///
Yep and it makes sense they are acting that way...
Does Beck still talk with that preachy preachy twang like he’s giving a sermon to children?
Give an alcoholic a glass of booze and you enable the disease.
Feed the pigeons and lots more will flock in for the food.
EBT cards will beget more clamoring for freebies.
Beck has lost me for good now.
True compassion would send these people home.
“He’s just feeding the MSM crowd.”
That much is true.
Beck needs to watch this vid and see that (most of) the illegals being bused in are NOT children....

China Grove, NC school buses take illegals w/EBT cards to Walmart

Indeed. Total idiots. Now they own the borders and will be the ones asking our papers.
And I'm not saying this of all Mormons... Mitt Romney never came across like Beck often times does.
Another closet communists and anti capitalist?
You know, they call diversity destroying our investments in our own replacement with the shifting of it to these people.
What is it with this hypocrit projecting white money guilt?
If I put money and lives aside to replace my old car and self, why would we redistribute this to have some other kid be my replacement? Unless my kid commits a crime, i do not see why.
Some diversity indeed somehow my genes and ways cannot contribute, but we have to subsidize instead.
Glenn is dead to me.
