I refer to people of different skin colors as simply that. This is a brown skinned person, or a beige skinned person. Jesse Jackson is no more African than I am Dutch. We both were born in this country to several generations of Americans. I entirely reject the African American label.

The only way to end racism is to stop focusing on race. Take this manufactured bloc away from Democrats. Brown skinned people are not automatic victims and more that white skinned people are rich. We are all Americans.

Quick short story courtesy of Brian Tracy: Customer sees biker with “Born to Lose” tattoo. Customer asks tattoo artist why would anybody have that stenciled on them. Tattoo artist replies “Tattoo on brain, long before tattoo on arm.”
disillusioned is a product of his own making.

but Beck’s talk of a third party is nuts! The only thing that we get with that is more Obama!

If you’re scared, I’m sure it is having the desired effect.

Large numbers of people believe CNN.

I’m sorry, your definition of large is not the same as mine. To me large would mean significantly more than 3 people.

No surprise here.

Jim Treacher on November 13, 2009 at 10:52 PM

Stuff like that pisses me off….They act like blacks didn’t own slaves…..Oops! Double Oops!

Large numbers of people believe CNN. Many Americans are “too busy”, not interested, shallow thinkers, or have other reasons not to follow current events.

Lots of those people, if they vote at all, will vote R or D, not 3rd party. Pretending they don’t exist won’t win elections. Have to accept reality, I don’t much care for it either. The history of 3rd parties is clear, it’s too much of a gamble, considering the stakes, to believe it will be different now.

and WASHINGTON state!

I often think it’s no coincidence that he hails from a town called “Mount Vernon,” either.

If you think I exaggerate I have one response NY-23.

Unfortunately most of the RINOS we are stuck with ARE progressives and their close votes on all of this government stuff is taking us down the road toward socialism. They probably don’t consider themselves progressive, since they want to go down the road to socialism SLOWER than liberal progressives.

Here, here! If people don’t like Glenn Beck calling RINOs “progressives,” maybe the RINOs should stop being…progressive. Our party completely disregarded its limited government, pro-freedom philosophy during most of the Bush years. We spent tons of money on frivolous things, failed to contain the deficit, failed to contain Fannie & Freddie, and then topped it off by engineering an embarrassing government takeover of huge sectors of the economy with TARP and all the damn bailouts. Enough! Either the Republicans return to their roots or we find a new party.

I don’t disagree that some Republicans are like that… but Beck’s talk of a third party is nuts! The only thing that we get with that is more Obama!

If he is using it as a threat to bring Repubs back to the right I hope it works but a real third party is a disaster!

petunia on November 14, 2009 at 10:52 AM

Sorry, but the only reason a third party would be a disaster is because a lot of people just like you don’t have the balls to stand up for what’s right, preferring to let some low-life career politician steer this country into the ground.

We’re paying for that attitude right now, and for people to feel they shouldn’t change the status quo? Cowardly and shocking.

Out of curiosity, do you believe that you would be eligible to be President under the requirements of Article II Section I, specifically the Natural Born Citizen requirement?

singer on November 14, 2009 at 9:14 AM

Yes. The United States Air Force believes it also since they granted me a certain level of security clearance back in the 80s. The level at which they cleared me is not granted to foreigners or even to naturalized citizens.

this was an excellent show! beck is a great guy! and if this doesn’t show him to not be a racist i don’t know what does!

I caught this live, it was pretty inetesting. Beck seems to dredge up genuine inspiration from the smallest anecdote. I’m just glad he didn’t break down and dress up like Crispus Attucks.

Also, I think it’s going to be a painful week if you expect that this would confirm for anybody that Glenn Beck is not a racist. There are very few media sources trying to confirm Beck’s sanity or piety. Most seem to be drawn in by his kookiness and are hoping he mentally cracks up live on television.

Watch the busy hand that does so little, but never the one that actually commits the act. They prosper by the division of opponents. Glen Beck is attempting to get ahead of them, as witnessed by his many programs, especially this one.

I believe we’re at the end of the Gramsci second stage and we didn’t get here by Obama alone.

Gramsci, loosely rendered, concluded that the average person would never voluntarily reject the faith and culture of the West. He concluded that the best way to implement a collectivist government was to use an intellectual elite to destroy traditional values by attacking fundamental Jewish and Christian beliefs. He envisioned a three phased assault.

Today, in Italy, the unelected EU bureaucrats have banned the traditional/cultural crucifix’s from schools on the premise that it’ll upset the other. Obama’s immediate reaction to the professor break-in and the cop, was to instantly side with the elitist professor, and making it into a black minority thing. It’s imperative for them that we remain divided. For us it’s imperative that we unite and Beck is making good strides to take us in that direction.

Lisa from Project 21 totally gets it. Charles doesn’t otherwise he wouldn’t have voted for Obama under any circumstances, having said that, putting himself out there deserves much praise.

My only complaint is that I’m fed up with Beck’s moral equivalency shtick, where Republicans are just as bad as Democrats, and where he labels Republicans “Progressives”.

They probably don’t consider themselves progressive, since they want to go down the road to socialism SLOWER than liberal progressives.

I submit that ALL people who believe in government solutions to things that should be left in the hands of the private sector ARE progressives. And that includes some of the holy grail programs like social security, etc. We really need to get that privatized. The youth of today are so screwed as it is. If they were allowed to put their FICA portion into their own accounts and get those accounts privately managed, they would all retire rich.
