" Yeah — a hard time taking him seriously. That’s always been my problem with him for some reason. But he’s been doing some really clever stuff recently, and I’m starting to come around"

I think the few things that really stand out when folks start to watch Glen Beck is .. :

He is defiantly not boring, he is the one who lives up a party.... he is a " character " for sure.
He has a witty sense of humor, and makes facial expression to prove a point.
His sarcasm really drives it home to those it is directed against.
But, these traits kind of grow on you the more you watch him.
He defiantly is passionate in what he says and believes in.

Beck is not without his idiosyncrasies. I think he means well and he has faced many demons. But he loves this country and he knows a demon when he sees one.

I love it! Although it's also a testament to how worthless the Republican party has become. Why does it take Talk Radio to do this? Right now the true Paul Rever’s are the following, Savage, Beck, Rush, Hannity, Boortz, Levin, etc... There is more, but these are the mainstream leaders... Like I said where is the Republican party leaders? How come it takes talk radio to point out the obvious?

I continue to wonder, and ponder that, myself.

My country- dare I be mawkish, and say, "land that I love?"-- is being dragged in to this:

...by the Indonesian/Kenyan/Whateverian Con Artist & Fraud who won't even prove where he came from...

Is it any surprise that, increasingly, I see both the Stupid and Evil Parties as this?

Yep, not only has Obama’s administration called Rush out, but the White House has now phoned Beck during his TV show in an attempt to get him to dial the heck down.

"Who will rid me of these meddlesome priests?"

Send a letter a day to your reps and senators for each question asked. I can’t wait for this to gain legs. I want answers. And I want legislation limiting the amount and kinds of ‘staff’ on these presidential appointments without a proper vetting process.

You are sooo right. I miss Bush and the dignity he brought to the Office and the WH. Oh my gosh, and how I miss Laura Bush! She was as strong as Michelle but with grace and class and sensitivity.

"Also, I wonder if Michelle Savage is jumping back on the Glen Beck band wagon ? .... I would not doubt that Savage has said some nasty things about Beck."

No, Savage didn't support Glenn, he complainted that Beck never mentioned his ban in Britain.

LOL..I was changing my 18month old Granddaughter when Glenn Beck came on TV she bent herself in half to look at him. Imagine my surprise when my Son told me he and his Daughter watch Glenn every day and she sits quietly until he is over.

I have new hope for our Country with the Younger Generation paying attention, if my nonpolitical Son gets it, others will as well.

Say a prayer..my Son is working at the G20 in September.

I have lost faith in the Republican party. They are like the democrats in the early 80s. Bush was a fiscal Socialist and the party has let him get away with it. Sorry but the Republicans have lost me. Unless they become conservatives again and care about borders, language and culture... they will not get a penny.

I think if it comes down to Brown Shirts in the streets there would be a bigger backlash from the military.

I think they know this, and are careful to estimate this properly.

Glenn Beck is issuing dire warnings about Obama’s “Civilian Security Force...stronger and better-funded than the US military" (in Obama's own words).

Beck keeps baiting Obama to tell who is the "civilian enemy" the “Civilian National Security Force will be fighting..

THE MODUS OPERANDI Obama/Rahm/Holder are purposefully antagonizing large conservative groups in middle America in an effort to cause civil unrest. This would give them an excuse to declare Martial Law.

Americans need to be very vigilant: Obama and his loathsome admin are very calculated in their use of power. As dissent among the populace grows, they are capable of plotting staged events to boost their advantage.

If these arch-manipulators perceive there isn’t measurable fear in the hearts of the people, they will create that fear to solidify their power. They know people will succumb to fear and will relinquish their God-given liberties when they are fearful.

We are witnessing the emergence of a new government dictatorship...on American soil. History tells us that the rampant corruption, fed by cronyism, are the nuts and bolts of dictatorships.

Dictatorships are almost always governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect each other from accountability.

ACORN---blindly loyal to Obama via federal-funding----is his personal Civilian Security Force, ready to silence the populace and march us to reeducation camps.

Glenn Beck beat out Oreilly with viewers last week!

And the AMAZING thing is that he did it in the 5pm slot, when most people are still commuting home from work!

TV talk's ultimate weasel, the FR-bashing, Obama-apologist, moral-relativist, Trojan Horse conservative, Bill O'Reilly has sat on the fence for so long I hope he wears lead Fruit-of-the-Looms.

He just won't wholeheartedly join the team NOW when all hands are needed aboard to save this country....and thus his name will forever live in infamy.
