I think Glenn, unfortunately, is onto something. There are two big issues:

1) At what point do people actually take their guns out of the closet or case and say, "enough," and 2) what does the military do when that happens? A couple of years ago, the Tennessee legislature tried to sneak through some health-care tax (I think) and it took the radio shows just a few minutes to get hundreds of motorists to surround the legislature building with their horns blaring.

But is there a point where instead of cars, people actually show up with firearms?

Beck won’t attack the No. 1 issue!
He’s an entertainer and nothing else—he will only go as far as his masters (faux, etc.) will allow him to—call it a trial baloon show, ratings ploy, whatever....
******
But....keep working on him, some one of these days the stars will all be lined up just right, and bingo—+^%$#@!!!!!

Great Show!
But is it just entertainment or will he go to the absolute heart of everything else?

I saw this on Fox. It was highly interesting. Many people are thinking this stuff but this is the first television program Ive seen that has addressed it. I liked it.

What will fuel the fire of revolution in this country would be attempts to shut down free speech such as the Fairness Doctrine. If the millions of people who listen to conservative talk radio are forced to look to shortwave or satellite radio broadcasts from foreign countries for uncensored news and opinion that would incite many to say enough is enough. The other flash point would be attempts to disarm the populous whether through some roll back of the Second Amendment by a liberal packed SCOTUS or through exorbitant taxes on guns and ammunition.

The scenario I could see play out would be a popular armed coup that would overthrow Congress and the President. I would see the US military participating and leading this coup.

Obama and the liberal Congress are sitting on a powder keg any if they continue down the road to socialism will ignite it.

The book “Atlas Shrugged” was a warning of what could happen to this country if liberals got their way. There are many parallels to the social conditions and attitudes in the book and what we are seeing now. Basically, Ayn Rand predicts that society will fall apart if people become convinced that they are punished for the effort and the Government is only interested in redistribution of wealth to non-producers. We are edging closer to that with every passing day.

I've had a belly full of being called a nut-job for a long time now. :-) I'm not bothered by it, but I do believe it's revealing when my crazy theories seep through into the news. Granted, Glen Beck is an entertainer and an alarmist, but this is definitely fringe talk which is making its way to the surface. I loath Flash content, so I stripped the video into an "avi". If Fox doesn't want me hosting it, they can ask me to remove it. Until that time, it's HERE

Be forewarned though...it's 78M, so IF you want to download it, it will take a few minutes. I've got a faster place to host it but don't have web services configured on the server yet. I'm working on that now because "some" of us will want to use it (wink, wink...nudge, nudge :-)

Oh and by the way, as much as I hate to say this, It DOES warrant a CW-II ping.

I disagree with his experts. We will battle one another.

Those in favor of government funding will pitch against those who don’t. There will be a civil war of sorts, with the “govies” encouraging the NG to fire at will.

There are a lot people who say only a handful of Americans would rise against tyranny with firearms.

That may be true of the first wave.

If 300 armed American men fought to the death against tyranny, they would be everlasting martyrs to inspire millions of armed Americans to do likewise.

Their names would be chiseled in stone for all posterity to read.

The 300 Spartans chose certain death over living under tyranny and their courage shouts across the centuries and inspires us to this very day.

A handful of armed men, determined to lay down their lives for liberty and slaughtered by the U.S. military in response, would spawn a wildfire, bloody American revolution of a size no government could stop.

While we’re all going to be financially hurting under a larger dose of socialism, Glenn Beck’s paranoid fantasies remind me of the moonbats who believed 911 was an inside job, felt we invaded Iraq so Bush can get rich off oil, and other childish fictions.

Before I know it, we’ll be talking about Vince Foster. This entire country is stuck on stupid, including the conservatives. I know people in troubled times like to think there are stronger powers in play behind the scenes, but this is ridiculous and stupid.

Now, go ammo up for ‘Murica! Yeeeehaw cowboy! Ugh.

I have to agree with Charles over at LGF. Beck is off the deep end, and the whole armed revolt agitation is Not Helping. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/32854_Glenn_Beck-_The_End_is_Nigh

Something to consider: When panic talk about Year 2000 was in the air, one sheriff in Iowa proposed calling up all CCW holders in his county and deputizing them. AFAIK, it never went anywhere but it got a few headlines. Might even have been an Urban Legend.

So . . . the Governor, or some other authority calls out the militia (unorganzied) to help in quelling unrest. How many are willing to go to God Knows Where and leave their wives and children alone when that call comes?

It gives you a better idea of what the men in the Revolution had to deal with.
