I agree. I liked him a lot better when he had a sarcastic, humorous view of the progressives and the direction he thinks we are going. While I think he has some points, he is beginning to take himself too seriously, like he thinks he’s a prophet.
And that's not a good thing.
Well, I’ve been listening to Beck for years, and while I don’t think he’s a prophet, I do know that things he talked about years ago, have happened. Things I couldn’t imagine happening did, and he had warned of these things a long time before he was “popular.”
So do I listen to his doom and gloom. Yes, I do, and I try not to let it get me down, but use it as a point of discussion and planning in our household to prepare for a possible worst case scenario.
We’re in Florida, we hear awful things about what could happen if a hurricane hit us dead on (which it hasn’t in years and years.) However, does that keep me from going out and stocking up every May, keeping a generator and gas, a window ac, and other supplies on hand in the event of a worst case scenario. No, I do it, because I can’t do anything to prevent a “doom and gloom” scenario, but I can be prepared if that scenario should present itself.
That’s what I think Beck’s intention is...to let his viewers know what could happen, so they can prepare.
