Damn, Beck’s been right on too many things over the past couple years. This is not good.

Beck has many temporary moments of insanity.

I doubt it will go that bad, at least not so quickly.

If it does, I’d almost guarantee the United States will be less than 50.

The Left confiscating private firearms.

How will we vote, then? ;-)

I guess if it's imminent, we'll have to vote early and often...

Better fast than slow.

Maybe voters will wake up.

Maybe.

Glenn Beck is just trying to stir up ratings. There will be no revolution. Americans simply do not have the stomach for it anymore, and the federal government is simply too powerful to defeat in a military confrontation.

We need to come up with real solutions to take back the reigns of power in Washington not indulge ludicrous fantasies about a second American Revolution.

Bring it on. I cant wait for Civil War II. Conservatives vs. Liberals? We have guns and they have their bongs. We are veterans and they are maggot infested hippies. They have the liberal media, but we have guts and the desire to take our Republic back from the Commie scum that have hijacked and perverted it. Bring it on!!

I pray it will be so - Before we lose our right to protest!

Obama is taking so much away from this nation - it won’t be too soon - if people begin to protest loud enough!

I know it is about time! Conservatives need a leader with a backbone!

Many things on that list may occur, but the one that won’t is the confiscation of firearms.

They may sign a bill....but the confiscation will NOT occur!

He’s not the first one to predict 2010 will be a problem. By this time the stimulus will be pissed away and/or lost and not done anything, and the hyperinflation and increased unemployment will be kicking in pretty good by then.

Stock up on commodities now. Make friends with like minded neighbors if you’re going to stick it out where you live. Get your self protection plans ready. This is the big game coming up.

We’ve got so many people in entitlement mode who can’t take care of themselves and believe it’s everyone else’s duty to, they will be rioting and trying to take from everyone who IS responsible and self-sufficient. Ain’t gonna be pretty. We will be seeing things we have never seen before very soon.

Maybe it’s better for the US to go to hell at warp speed....we’re more likely to e really really angry.....

If they spread it out of BO’s term we’re more likely to just put up with it - like frogs in hot water.

I like a man that is passionate about liberty, but I think it was Imus who said that Beck often looked like he could take everyone in the studio hostage at any moment.

Glenn Beck is occasionally over the top, but in this case he pretty much has it nailed. The only question is who will start it?

Who will join it? Who will risk everything for it? Is the tree of liberty to be watered? Wise men said this would happen someday.

He predicts some sort of blow-up/revolution by next year.

Won't happen. Well fed / well entertained populations don't revolt. You'd have to ban professional sports before people started caring that they weren't free anymore.

Beck has been a refreshing change. I hope his show stays on Fox. He covers so much news that is ignored by the drive by media.

OK people you have to remember that Beck can be a drama queen sometimes.

I would need to get into Obama’s head to know for sure how this will play out. If he is just a demagogue, then as soon as he sees his pole numbers drop out the bottom he will suddenly become moderate. If on the other hand he actually is the Manchurian candidate they he will make the grab of property and guns with the intention of setting off the revolution.

Lincoln said “Nobody goes into a war expecting to loose. One side must be, and both often are, wrong.” This suits a Manchurian candidate just fine. But if his liberal supporters understood how bad a rebellion will be they wouldn’t start this. If they had ever considered that their high tech urban world will come down around their ears, regardless of if they win or loose, they wouldn’t be so fast to discredit the electoral process with obvious and rampant cheating.

The South prior to the Civil War, rather than wait out a president they didn’t like, tried to circumvent the electoral process and pull out of the Union. The result destroyed the Old South, long before Lee surrendered his sword at Appomattox. Likewise the liberals on the Berkeley campus, New York Starbucks or Hollywood movie lot will find their world evaporate once a rebellion starts. Just as will you and I sitting here at our computers freely exchanging ideas. It doesn’t matter if the eventual winner is a right wing industrial oligarchy, religious theocracy, or a left wing communist dictatorship. The nation will be repressive, impoverished, and intolerant of anyone who is culturally different from whatever new norm is established. It took 80 years for America to recover from the civil war. And then only because World War II forced all the people of America to fight as one or perish individually.

Idealists and radicals start civil wars, but with the exception of the American Revolution they rarely survive them. It is obvious that being on the loosing side of a rebellion is never good for ones health. However Trotsky, Che, and Robespier were all idealists on the winning side of their revolutions. All ended up dead, at the hands of the more ruthless and pragmatic men brought to power by the revolution itself. Only in the Revolution did the leaders fair well. And it should be noted that with the exception of John Adams (Of Boston Tea Party fame) all were reluctant warriors, preferring petition to parliament over muskets and bayonets until King George’s stubbornness made negotiation impossible. And our founding fathers were a rare group indeed. I see no sign of a Washington, Jefferson, Franklin or John Adams when I turn on C-Span. But I do see many a John Brown or Edmund Ruffin clone pontificating within the halls of Congress.
