And his advice to solve the problem has been "turn to god and pray"!! That's not gonna solve our problems.

You know the funny thing about this site are the venomous remarks and sniping that occurs back and forth between party lines. Those of you that toe those party lines are mindless dolts. It is obvious that Democrat or Republican is the solution to this countries problems.

The ping pong of power that occurs fixes nothing. We The People of the United States of America have no memory other than what happened yesterday.

Whether it be Beck or Obama or countless others in between they are all poison for this country. We need a profound shift in our Country as a whole, because the way it is going now we will be a third world country before you know it.

You have hit on the real problem and the solution at the same time.. We as a country have to grasp what is right and true and run with it.

Obviously your post was nothing more than a rant that was easily turned around.

For the record - I may not support Glenn Beck (hardly ever have watched him), but I certainly support his right to speak AND the right of people to listen to him - or anyone else - without being called every foul name in the book.

Elitists get over yourselves. All you are doing is coming across sounding pathetic and terrified of Beck.

You know what I dont care.

No one's been arguing that he doesn't have the right to voice his opinion! But just like he has the right to voice his opinion, we have the right to criticize the content of his message...and content wise it's at least 95% garbage.

His stance on net neutrality makes it 100% clear he's either really stupid, or in the pocket of big business...while pretending to an "average Joe" at the same time. You do realize that this means he's exactly one of the elitists you hate, right? Because the elite will CONTROL THE INTERNET!

He works for News International the first media corporation to charge for it's content like The Times website in the UK. so I imagine he will toe the line when it comes to net neutrality. Glen has to consider "What would Rupert think" before opening his mouth.

Your correct in stating that this is bigger than what MSM wants us to understand. Beck aside, I was impressed by the general attitude and lack of finger pointing. The gathering of people in a peaceful way says a lot about their willingness to not explode in the face of baton welding Black Panthers. Did you notice how little litter was left on the grounds after the rally, compared to the mess left behind by the Obama rally two years prior?

I watched the Rally.

Beck has a good gig going. He's getting his message across AND he's making money. That's the American way .. the American dream. He's living it.

His message isn't calling for suicide bombers. It isn't racist. Most of what was on his TV show for the past year and a half has been true. If people don't like it, they can change the channel (like most of America has done with MSNBC ... changed the station).

He's got as much of a right to give his opinon as Chris Matthews, Keith Oblabla, or any other person on TV. Obviously there are people who agree, or else his show would have been cancelled.

I don't understand how he ... a self professed Libertarian .. can be so Christian fundamentalist. But what the heck, he can be what he wants to be.

That's fine with me. I really don't expect more.

But if I was a Dem and BO supporter, I'd start hedging my bets on the success of the Dem's in the November election. Even Democratic pollsters are now expecting a blow-out of Democratic incumbents/candidates of epic proportions in November.

I believe a new coalition will form consisting of moderate Dems, Independents, Libertarians, Conservatives (social & fiscal), non-neocon Repub's, Tea Party, religious elements from both parties, and other disenchanted voters from both parties. Their goal is to remove a many incumbent politicians of both parties as possible. They want representatives that are responsive to the will of the voters, not TPTB.

If you have not noticed this change in the electorate, you've got a real wake up call coming. In my 50 years of following politics, I have never seen a political party, and its supporters, so misread the mood of the American people.

Mr. Beck, even with all his baggage, will be looked upon as the one that brought these groups together last Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial whether you like it or not. It's was the message, not the messenger that was/is important.

So keep throwing feces at Beck, Conservatives (social and fiscal), Christians, gun right advocates, Tea Party folks, and anyone that disagrees with BO's and the left's progressive/redistribution agenda. I think over the next 2 1/2 months you will see the tide turn and after the election, you may have some explaining to do here on ATS.

Believe me, I won't forget the blind bashers of the right. You folks can sure dish it out, now all that's left is to find out if you can take it just as well. Usually, that is not the case.

No Bunnies , but a lot of crow will be served.

I do feel as Mr. Glenn Beck has changed for the good ...

Now there I've gotta' say something.

He hit rock bottom. He admits it. He came back and changed for the good. Yep ... for sure. But in the past few months he's changed again. I am not so sure it's for the 'better'. Perhaps he ran out of political idiots to expose, but he's reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally gotten on the far-right-Christian bandwagon and that's a BIG change from the Libertarian let everyone alone kind of thing.

He's changing. Perhaps he'll give up being Mormon and become some form of Fundamentalist Christian. Dunno. But I think he's sounding more like a preacher than someone who exposes corruption ... and while that'll gain him some viewers, it's reeeeeeeeeally going to turn others off.

He is entertaining to listen to and believes what he says I think. What scares me is that he actually represents a significant amount of like minded Americans in the United States and that's very disturbing to me personally. To each there own. When it all hits the fan though I will avoid those who actually think like him.

I will say this for him though, he does motivate people immensely and that shows some character. Even if it does scare the hell out me.

Trouble maker...
I like Glenn Beck and unfortunately the town I live in doesn't fluoridate the water, so I can't even blame that.

i don't agree with everyone when all the time, but the time has got to change when people stop looking for answers from polotics and get the answers from them self. people have become so lazy this goes for everybody that they go with what is popular instead of what is true, but you know those people are the ones that are clueless . we all need to start to research for ourself what this country is about and look for ourselves. go BECK at least he's off his arse and did something which is more than i can say for some of you people that are always bashing somebody.

To each their own is right and get use to it. The last place I want to be is with people like you that think like you do. If and when SHTF, its gonna be me and like-minded Americans on the other side of the line from you, and I believe there are more of us than you and yours.

If a confrontation ever occurs, I suggest you leave your "I Love Obama" or your "Glenn Becks a Crybaby" T-shirts at home. Those comments will make good "Bullseyes". If I can see it, I can hit it!!

The sad thing is, if we all don't wake up and realize we are all Americans FIRST, and the assorted subdivisions come second, a confrontation lies ahead by plan. The Americans must join together as one united group to displace those that desire to pit one group of American against the other for "their" political gain. But again I have my doubts as there lies a propensity to stay engaged in the "divide and conquer" politics that have allowed TPTB to place us in the situation we now find ourselves in.

Will we ever wake up and change?

letting Glenn Beck supporters chase themselves in that post, buddy.

just because i pick my side of the fence, does not mean i cannot listen to what is being said from the other side of that fence.

so you must be one of his supporters, right?

"It took me about a year to start hating the victims of 9-11"
- Glenn Beck

"Speak without Fear"
- Glenn Beck (the same guy who wears a bullet proof vest to a "Restore Honor" rally)

people who speak without fear do not wear bullet proof vests.

they wear bullet proof vests when they speak with fear.

No wonder TPTB took care of Martin. No way a black man can be an evil, jack-booted racist, baby killing, homophobe Republican. Geez, what's this world coming to?????

Oh I forgot, in the late 1950's and early 1960's, most Blacks were Republicans. They were fighting against the Democrats, who refused equal rights for Blacks and were the party of the status quo. Democrats didn't want Blacks in the same swimming pools, drink from the same water fountains, or use the same bathrooms as whites.

Democrats - The party of Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hmmm........
