Don’t you know Obama and his ilk wish to God (or whoever the heck they wish to) that Glenn Beck would fall into adultery with an Argentinean newswoman, or cut his jugular vein while shaving, or show up drunk, high and naked to his FOX show and forever be publically vilified, marginalized and thus muzzled?
Beck has formally joined Rush as an Official Pain in Barack Obama’s Backside (OPIBOB). (Are you an OPIBOB yet?) 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.
Glenn said this past week that Barack’s minions were actually calling his show while he was on air because he was being a meany. When I heard this I was sitting there eating pretzels and drinking a martini thinking: Are you kidding me? Is Perez Hilton running the White House? The White House is actually calling Beck during his program in an attempt to get him to cease and desist his digs? Wow . . . sounds, pretty gay to me. No offense to gay people, of course.
So, what’s next, Whine House? Are you gonna post an angry note on Beck’s Facebook wall? Are you going to place Glenn’s picture on the White House website and draw naughty stuff on his forehead? Unbelievable. Not only do we have to contend with and check a radical Socialist-in-Chief at every point, but we also have to a field a cheeky, paranoid, oversensitive staff that makes Nixon look like Andy Griffith’s Aunt Bee.
So, what’s all the hubbub about? Why is Beck under their epidermis? Well, it’s principally because he asks questions. And if there is one thing that derails the Hope and Change Train, it’s questions. Oh, I almost forgot: Facts also get them purty PO’ed. Questions and facts . . . can’t have that. Yep, both of those little damnable ditties are detrimental to Obama’s oligarchical grasp.
For those who missed Beck’s week of must-see TV, he boldly parleyed into the President’s court questions several million of us want to ask but don’t have a top-ranked TV show on the most watched cable news channel to get the proper respect and response. Here’s a little sample of Beck’s mischievous queries. On Monday he inquired:
- We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and healthcare programs before we stop the flow of red-ink?
- The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN. How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?
- If it was so important for congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it, why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent 6 months later?
- Why won’t members of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?
- Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?
- How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist, become a special advisor to the president?
- Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special advisor?
- The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill—why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?
- If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1,000-page plus bills actually impose on the American people?
- If the “public option” health care plan is so good, why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?
- If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind—why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?
- Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about “not letting a crisis go to waste”?
- What are the czars paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?
On Tuesday Beck wondered aloud:
- Who is “surrounding” the President in the White House?
- Do any of the President’s advisers have criminal records?
- Are the President’s advisers working to better the country or their own ideals?
- Who are the anti-capitalists in Washington?
- What roles do they have in crafting bills?
- What was “STORM”? What happened to the founders, and where are they now?
- What qualifications must one have to be a Presidential adviser?
- Should a communist have the ear of the President of the United States?
- What role did the Apollo Alliance play in crafting bills?
- Does the President know the co-founder of the Weather Underground is a board member of the Apollo Alliance?
On Wednesday Glenn wanted to know:
- Why does the FCC have a diversity “czar”?
- Who is Mark Lloyd, and how does he plan to “balance” the airwaves?
- Will he bring back the Fairness Doctrine, or worse?
- Cass Sunstein once said he wants to balance the Internet; is that next?
- Will broadcasters who leave the airwaves be allowed to go to satellite or Internet without government regulation?
- Is there any place (that has a mass audience) where the government won’t regulate free speech?
- Why does it seem every member of the Obama advisory team hates capitalism, unless those companies (like G.E.) are in bed with the administration?
If Lloyd has his way, stations that don't comply with the government’s definition of the “public interest” will have to pay a massive fine—which helps support public broadcasting:
- What will be the definition of “public interest”?
- Who defines “public interest”?
- Why should it be balanced? Because it's public airwaves? (Well, there are public roads that go by my house, and I don't count how many Republicans and Democrats are driving on them.)
On Thursday GB thought:
- Why do we need a civilian force?
- Who is posing a threat to us?
- Who will this “force” be made up of?
- Who is the real enemy?
- Does the president know of a coming event? If not, who builds an army against an unrecognized enemy?
- Why won't the media get off their butts and look into these radicals in the White House? And into this civilian army?
(*For the full list visit: http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/29631/) You see, Beck was just asking questions. Hey, White House . . . Can we not ask questions anymore? Is that verboten? Can we not ask our elected officials to explain themselves, elucidate a bit about their odd buddies and make clear their policies and proposals?
Can we not question you boys with boldness, hold to the truth, and speak without fear of reprisal? Huh?
In the words of my redneck hunting buddy, better known as the West Texas Warrior, “Why, hell we can!” Not only can we, ladies and gents, but we must.
Uh, correct me if I’m wrong, but this is our nation; this ain’t Cuba or Venezuela yet. We pay the government’s bills, and therefore they answer to us, they represent us—and if they don’t then we take their airplanes, limos, mistresses and five-star hotels away from them. Yeah, I believe that’s how it’s supposed to work.
Keep asking the hard questions, boys and girls. Don’t let them tread on you.
Great job, Mr. Beck.
I've had the same thoughts and also wonder if he has some sort of security detail. Of course, we might comfort ourselves in that, should the opposition manage to harm him or his family, it would inevitably harm their cause.
I like your plan.
Lock & Load, JJ61. The HEAT is comimg towards us, fast & furious. Make sure you pay the night watchman real good. (ahh, pizza & beer, at least!)And get the wife to the rifle range once in a while ;) Couldn’t hurt.
Beck is doing an excellent job on this... I wish him well.
We have been avid supporters of Glenn since the puppy in the basement incident.
We took to heart his warnings of the impending financial melt down.
Thank God for Glenn Beck.
Oh rest assured that BOR takes Beck seriously.BOR is looking in his side view mirror and beck is about to pass him on the inside.
I’v noticed that this is the only news show that REALLY holds my kids attention. something about the way he speaks and presents his points holds the kids attention. maybe its his ADD:)
But this is a good thing!
Before you turn the key to start your car, check under the hood first. OK?
In the tradition of “Who is John Galt?”, I believe a driving question may be,”Who is O.P. Bob (OPIBOB)?”
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 hope he has protection.”
He talked about this on his show a couple days ago. He has beefy private security for himself and family.
A few nights ago he said he decided to take his family out at the last minute. Someone not friendly saw him out and posted it to some website to alert anyone who was interested that he was at a certain location.
Good questions that should be answered.
"PUSH BACK THE LIBERAL HOARDS!!!" ~Mark Levin
Beck has no fear...he only has truth and he’s not afraid
to use it!
I agree. Keep O’Reilly but get rid of Shep.
That’s because everyone knows that Beck’s statement was DEAD ON BALLS ACCURATE!!!
It is one thing to claim someone is racist when they are obviously not (see Gates arrest rant), and something totally different when you claim something that is OBVIOUSLY true (see Obama comments concerning the Gates arrest rant)!!!
There is no backlash when there is no “there” there!
“Yeah — a hard time taking him seriously.”
His delivery is a little theatrical and borderline silly, but the message is right on. I think his off-the-wall delivery might attract younger people who really need to hear what he has to say. If so, then I hope he never stops.
I agree.
I’m truly concerned for Beck’s safety at this point. He is the biggest threat to BO right now.
Glenn may end up like one of the men who carried the flag in battles of 100 or 200 years ago. The enemy was always trying to knock off this standard bearer (the origin of the term) and sometimes succeeded. True warriors were trained to grab their flag quickly if the standard bearer started to drop from wounds or exhaustion.
This is how the tradition came about that makes it anathema for the flag to touch the ground.
OUR ENEMIES CANNOT and WILL NOT PUT DOWN WHAT WE STAND FOR!
If one carrying it falls, another will hold it aloft for all, both Friend and Foe, to see that we are resolute and still in the fight!
