  • So, according to Beck, Stalin, Mao, Kim Jong Il, etc. tried really hard to take care of their people at first, then they just got frustrated and only then decided to kill their people? Right, I can see it now...Stalin saying "I'm looking for a nice employer-employee fir for you, but damn! I'm running out of jobs..uhh....Oh, the hell with it. *BANG* And that's how the Great Purge happened, right Glenn?

  • Why is he raging against rights? France, Germany, Sweden along with MANY other European countries DID NOT FAIL when it came to universal healthcare. Why can't we have that!

  • ok well i don't agree with anything the things These weirdos are saying except for one thing. your argument doesn't have to have any facts behind it as long as you get all freaked out and dramatic then people will follow you, HOWEVER I notice it more on the left than i do on the right. I know im going to get allot of negative responses but that doesn't change the facts

  • the problem isnt liberals or conservatives. it's religious people. christians, muslims, jews, and polytheists with their wicked, fucked up, cruel, draconian ideas and beliefs. Theyve been oppressing people for two thousand years, crushed passion and expression. The crusades, nazi germany, 9/11, the punic wars, the palestinian israel conflicts...all the product of the filth and venom that is religion. all i the name of their stupid god. end the madness.

  • Somebody please shoot this intoxicated man.

  • Anyone who supports Glenn Beck has no respect for humanity.

  • Denmark: Tried it and Succeeded

    Finland: Tried it and Succeeded

    Norway: Tried it and Succeeded

    Sweden: Tried it and Succeeded

    Socialist/Democracy is what FDR wanted. and the countries that have this system have the highest living standards in the world, with the best education and health care systems. I will fight until the day I die for Americans to have the same.

  • @Patfitz1234 move there then

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • Comment removed

  • @kylis22

    You people are like fucking cockroaches.

  • I want to respond to jrasta, fdr was the worst president in history, he expanded the great depression not ended it he like obama is an expansion of hoover like obama is an expansion of bush, you need to get the truth so you can be set free

  • Total BS these guys. They cant support their statements so they blame it all on Glenn Becks way of speaking. Thats called being DESPERATE!

  • How does this possibly get likes? Because old scared people and southern hillbillies take this propaganda as the truth when the fact of the matter is beck, rush, and o'reilly are nothing more than right wing shock jocks. Glen beck probably can't run a little league team let alone a country.

  • @brklynsown the likes are for the young turk video, if it was just a glenn beck a pro glenn beck video then it would be a disliked video

  • I think this channel would be taken more seriously if they deviate from left-wing populist talk-points and do a comparison, using terms like although or however. It won't compromise their message because it's very well known by any informed community, left-wingers have a higher ground when it comes to policy (But I'm not saying they're perfect, they get carried away too sometimes). Be more academic too :/

  • g beck would have made a excellent naize propganda minister for hitlers 2000,yr 3 rd riech, what a fuckin jack off he really is.

  • Why do Americans need retards to present them the news?

  • so he's ignoring all the countries that have succeeded with free health care?

    man, i wish i could put on a suit, get on tv and just spout bullshit and get paid for it.

    i need to get in contact with fox news. i think i'd be good at it.;

    also, the jews did 9/11.

  • im so glad that this video is on here. it shows how some people just do not want to give all americans their rights. LIFE, LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. healthcare is part of LIFE glenn beck. this guy is so fuckin stupid. shit like this inspires americans to understand their liberties.

  • How can Beck equate universal healthcare with total government ?

  • FDR is an American hero who dug America out of the great depression and set up what would eventually become the defeat of Hitler. Beck is a scumbag fascist elitist, so it only makes sense that he would hate FDR.

  • Canada: tried it, and succeeded

  • fdr was a communist he got us in ww2 and thats a fact . social security the first step in toward communism

  • glenn beck shouldnt have a mouth or a voicebox

  • Glenn Beck should be hung for Treason....period.............

  • Democrat or Republican, things like education and healthcare should be guaranteed to the citizens who fund the government. Privatized healthcare motivated by profit is a complete failure. Call me a socialist but the USA has many socialist aspects such as the police, fire department and postal service among others.

  • Conservatives: Be Aware, Action Is Always An Option: "I hope that's not where we're going, but you know if this Congress keeps going the way it is, people are really looking toward those Second Amendment remedies and saying my goodness what can we do to turn this country around? I'll tell you the first thing we need to do is take Harry Reid out." --Nev. GOP Senate nominee, Sharron Angle, on armed insurrection, interview with right-wing talk radio host Lars Larson in Portland, OR, January 2010

  • hmm lets look how the democratic/liberal/progressive politicians have affected our livesi found out in a nutshell that it is illegal now to text or listen to your ipod in arkansas and in new york and now it is in my city of philadelphia who has an democratic who is also working to ban these actions and its the fact all these ppl are dems how about you guys tell the gov't has the right to ban something such as walking while doing something. one day you guys will see that the US isnt the same.

  • @Hish927 "Conservative ideology" has never helped mankind in anyway. However, it has brought to us a wealth of history to look back upon: Hitler, slavery, war, oppression, un-equal protections and rights, special laws made for the more powerful, etc...Conservatives have been against any road to equality and fairness you see in the USA today.

  • @cpmondello u should check ur history. Becuz the south were actually democrats while the north was republican which was the reason why we had a republican president Abraham Lincoln. Also what party was for the Jim Crow laws? that would be democrats nd what did your progressive president woodrow wilson do? he re-segregated the U.S. military. Conservatism believes in less govt something hitler didnt believe nd hitler hated capitalism. So it seems that dems have more push towards unequal rights.

  • @Hish927 and u should also check your history because even know that parties we as you said the represented more of todays other party The Democrats were more like modern day republicans and vise versa the change came after the Election of 1912 where many republicans (progressives) formed there own party and after the election realized that they had more in common with the democrats and moved to that party

  • @jkress2232 *were

  • Glenn Beck-- When was the last time you went to history class???

  • Don't FUCK wih FDR.

  • The government is the ultimate evil....ok. Whatever is wrong with the government can be CHANGED but once it is gone it's gone for good. That means we the people could effect no change.

  • Glenn Beck hates both the Roosevelts!!!! The reason? Both of them cared for the working man and woman!!! Hell, both saved Capitalism from the malefactors of great wealth!!!

  • FDR was the first great US President.

    Many believe, that if it wasn't for FDR, there wouldn't be ANY American Indians today (those before him continued extermination policies). He was respectful and actually cared for the American people.

    Glenn Beck? He cares about his bank balance by throwing up frenzies.

  • lol, what a dick

    

  • @thesullielives: Id be interested to hear where this magic money pool originates... unless of course... its socialistic. If that sounds so appealing to you, why dont you move there? Please, try it out!

  • it seriously baffled me that people actually fall for fox news. They target poor and stupid people to try to conquere that demographic in the hopes theyll win elelctions through this method. So how can you approach the people they manipulate? "You fall for this... because your stupid."

  • FDR was a racist who put my people (Japanese-Americans) in concentration camps. My great grandfather was born in the US, had no criminal record, and fought for his country in WWI. He owned a convenience store and was just worrying about taking care of his family when FDR rounded him up and many other Japanese-Americans and put them in camps until the end of the war. My great-grandfather lost his house, his business, and most of everything he worked for.

    "Human Rights?" FDR was a hypocrite.

  • @treboryelam FDR wasn't a racist, he actually did a lot for civil rights, during his presidency he worked along side the NAACP, and unlike most presidents, his welfare programs were not discrimanatory, and he even signed a law forbidding disrimination in hiring people in the defense industry. I agree with you on that it was wrong for him to sign the order rounding up people of Japaense descent regardless of citizenship into internment camps, but overall FDR was a president who was race blind

  • FDR was one of the greatest presidents ever

  • If FDR was such a bad guy, how did he get elected four times in a row? His programs and legislature saved our nation from complete economic collapse. He led our nation through WW2. Seriously Fox firing this fool Beck was the only smart thing they've ever done.

  • Apparently Beck didn't actually read the list of Human Rights that Eleanor Roosevelt campaigned for. They were about maintaining Human Dignity. The part about a good job? It wasn't a call for socialism, it was a call for ensuring nobody had to work in dangerous situations for extremely low pay as children in sweatshops. Also they were about ensuring fair trials for all. But, I guess Beck couldn't be bothered to read them...being illiterate and all...its really the only explanation for his idiocy

  • @druking01 I suspect you don't even realize how your post is contradictory.

  • @xcloverwadel No, but I'm sure you do. Your superior to me intellectually because I don't agree with you.

  • @druking01 you're

  • Comment removed

  • Yup, that's Glenn Beck being an idiot, nothing we didn't already know here...........

  • i wonder if anyone actually believes this former alcoholic is throwing out, he overtly criticizes one of the best presidents in the history of the U.S, and his bill that was meant to eradicate poverty in the U.S, and he transforms it into a tool of a "left wing socialist conspiracy" which apparently still continues today with President Obama. fuck you glenn

  • @wwekidtanman he got us out of the worst economic depression in american history. Pretty dumb i guess

  • @thesullielives

    Do you realize Sweden runs all those services are all ran on a local basis, not Federal?

  • @Salvysahagun only in the Sweden in your bullshit, Sweden has a comprehensive federal social welfare system like most European countries, although some of the management and execution happens locally, the laws and funding are federal.

  • @boloyung9

    No the funding is Federal that it.

  • The countries failed... Not their ideologies... LOL

  • Stupid Democrats!

  • ah never mind they're making fun of glenn beck my bad lol

  • wow this whole thing is bullshit how can they say elenor roosevelt is a bitch? why?because she believed everyone deserved the right to be living a good life? you're right what a bitch

  • Lets see FDR ended the Great Depression and helped save the world from Axis Tyranny and atrocities.

    And Glenn Beck has... ranted in front of camera. So he has about as much accomplishments as the average internet reviewer

  • @Sizzmaster6985 the new deal didnt really end the great depression, it was doing very little. Much like our stimulus package today is. World war 2 really ended the great depression. Look into it.

  • @Sizzmaster6985 FDR did save the world from the Axis powers (*cough cough* along with millions of Russians *cough cough*), but he did NOT end the Great Depression. If anything, he made it worse! Do a little more research on the New Deal, and you'll find it did nothing more than supply temporary jobs and create a LOT of debt. And before you say it, no, WW2 didn't pull us out either. What pulled us out was that we were the last man standing in terms of industry, and the gov backed off on some laws

  • @Sizzmaster6985 WWII ended the GD not the new deal.

  • @Sizzmaster6985 FRD DID NONE OF THAT! WW2 ENDED THE DEPRESSION

  • Fuck Beck, why does he have a show anyway?

  • im sorry china tried it an failed? ...yeah bull shit.

  • Glenn Beck is a narcisistic egomaniac. He criticizes FDR so harshly, but I doubt he would be able to achieve any of the greatness Rooesevelt did. FDR defeated the Axis, and aided in the destruction of the most reviled man in human history, Adolf Hitler. Beck talks a big game, but there is no way he could surpass, or even equal FDR.

  • @jrasta1028 FDR did not win WWII, soldiers and great generals did. FDR did not end the great depression WWII did. FDR did not kill Adolf Hitler, Adolf Hitler did. Don't believe me? Look at the mathematical statistics.

  • @rsranger2201 Regardless he was one of the greatest leaders of all times. You are correct to and extent. You are also wrong to an extent.

  • Tyt lost as usual...

  • this guy is just so full shit you could stack it as high as him!!!!!!!!!!

  • Glen Beck and his supporters wouldn't be fit to eat a peanut out of FDR's shit. A piece of shit like Beck or his followers shouldn't even speak of FDR or Eleanor. No right winger is even in the same class(true human beings) as either of those two. Roosevelt saved this country after right wingers fucked it up completely. Then he took America through the worst world conflict ever and helped lead us to victory over several very evil enemies who behaved just like republicans do today.

  • Yeah remember that time that FDR oppressed all of us?

  • ...WHAT THE FUCK YOU COCKSUCKER MOTHERFUCKER? YOU ARE A COMPLETE IDIOT! ALL THE COMMUNIST NATIONS YOU LISTED DID THAT TO HELP THE INHABITANTS. NOT TO OPPRESS THEM! JACKASS, DO YOU LIKE THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE DYING IN THE STREETS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO HEALTH CARE? DO YOU LIKE THE HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT RATES?

  • @The666dev666 As for the idiots saying refute something Beck has said.

    NO PROBLEM.

    RIGHT AFTER HIS ASS SURGERY IN 2008 BECK SAID HE WAS GOING ON A CRUSADE TO REFORM OUR TERRBILE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.

    Now anyone that mentions it is an anti-american that is trying to destroy white america and democracy.

    What changed? He soled out to the neo-cons.

    FUCK YOU AND FUCK GLENN BECK.

  • How could anyone fight against universal rights? Am I wrong, or isn't that a good thing??!?

  • this fuck face deserves to trip face first into a puddle of dog shit and forgot to get up there for suffocating to death

  • FDR  so bad he was elected 4 times.

  • Man, the Turks could have done a MUCH better critique of this. There are many, many reasons that Beck is flat out wrong when he talks about the New Deal. They failed to call all of them.

  • Beck is a greedy fool

  • In the Bible, Jesus didn't believe in rich people. It's funny, that people are so much into believiing in Jesus believe in the importance of rich people.

  • @thesullielives That's because Sweden is a rich country to beginning with. also I'm Swedish and a lot of the people in Sweden complain at the sluggishness and meritocracy in quality across the board of all the state-ran programs. not to mention business often leaves Sweden because the taxes and regulations are strangling the private sector. The Swedish state is a bloated bureaucratic monster that is eating the private sector alive and is a forces towards a flat earth for wonderful vibrant people

  • End Social Slavery and Medifraud TODAY! Make old fogeys pay for their own goddamned retirement and health insurance! THey arent stealing from me anymore!

  • @oreocookieboy81 we have worked for what we have and will not be cheated by anyone. the old fogeys have paid their share of taxes and have earned the right to rest.

  • FDR's death ended the Great Depression.

  • Beck or beeker or whatever it calls itself is the absolute jerk of all time

  • @thesullielives yeahh.... and sweden isnt the premier world hegemony... theres a little bit of a difference there...

  • Its funny, how the 2 emails I received both said that I was "ignorant" and "brain washed" but these people had done their homework and know better .

    The conservatives view point is one of arrogance, not facts. They know better, FDR was bad despite the facts. Because they know better.

    I think there is some medication that you can get with a perscription from a mental health care worker .

  • Beck hates FDR and Wilson because they did something no republican in the last 150 + years had done. WIN WARS!!!!!

    You gotta love the fact that the 2 prophets of the right are both failed DJ's and former drug addicts...

  • FDR welcomed the hatred of do nothing constantly bitching right wingers. He won 4 terms, and beat Nazi Germany and Japan and put Americans back to helped the goverment take care of Americans.

    Republican neo cons love America, they just hate their fellow Americans.....

  • The same people who slam FDR for making a deal with the devil to get rid of Hitler are the same people who forget that Reagan made a deal with the devil to get rid of the Russians. The Taliban, who back in his day were called "Afghan Freedom Fighters" What BS. We got the Saudis to fund this to 20th century Jihad and the Pakistani's to back it up. Nice going RR.

    Before its all said and done the body count from these terrorists that RR supported will make Stalin look like a boy scout...

  • FDR was one our worst presidents- with his communist new deal and handing all of Eastern Europe over to the mad butcher Josef Stalin who blew past Hitler like he was standing still. Stalin killed OVER 50 million people- 19 million of them Jews(over three times the amount Hitler did) and FDR called him Uncle Joe. His filthy communist socialism will bankrupt this country.

  • FDR was an American legend. It is because of his time in office, that America survived the Depression, and we were able to destroy Nazi Germany, and Imperial Japan. Glenn Beck is a moron... if Rooesevelt had lived on to see through his fourth term, we would be much better off. That 2nd bill of rights, would have progressed American society, and possibly would have flown over the civil rights era then and there, by compelling everyone to consider thier position in society.

  • Ask yourself this, why do the elected officials of both the Senate and the Congress consistantly vote against having the American Public enjoy what they, as Public Servants , enjoy?

  • They're trying to dispute historical fact Sounds like nervous laughter to me!

  • No, ... they take from yhe rich, and give to the poor with an eyedropper and keep the rest for themselves. then they take everything, and when there isn't enough to spread around they "cull the heard" about 1/4 of the people will have to die, ... feel lucky?

  • @viewitmytube Nicely stated!

  • Fearmonger, ex-drug addict, shock jock, no education, and slacker who went the conservative route.

  • Im not a Beck fan whatsoever, but these two are idiot's.

  • Italian Premier Benito Mussolini was convinced that the New Deal was copying Fascist economic policies.Nazi Minister of Economics Hjalmar Schacht declared that President Franklin Roosevelt had the same economic idea as Hitler and Mussolini;the official Nazi Party organ, Völkischer Beobachter, applauded “Roosevelt’s adoption of National Socialist strains of thought in his economic and social policies.

  • @ARepublicanVictory So you think that Mussolini is right rather than a former president? wow who's a faciest now. ''he was convinced'' so? he was crazy

  • @ARepublicanVictory Just so you know, the economic policies of Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy have absolutely nothing to do with their atrocities. The Nazis built a giant ass highway. If we consider everything that came out of Nazi Germany bad, we shouldn't be using that giant highway now. Or rockets, or working jet engine aircraft, or assault rifles, or a lot of the other things we have now.

  • @Killzoneguy117 I never said they did. I was stating that Nazi officials claimed that FDR stole their ideas and used them covertly in America. Attrocities have absolutely nothing to do with my point.

  • @ARepublicanVictory Fair enough

  • Lastly the government is in place to help the people, and I think that every President from Kennedy to George W. Bush, yes sir George W. Bush with his policy of No Child Left Behind would support this idea that the government is in place to help the majority of the people, not just the rich such as yourself.

  • Let me correct, what Glenn Beck is saying is the blasphemy.

  • conti. Secondly sir would you perfer a government in which the government gives people no rights including the people such as yourself with big fat pay checks. Sir, if you were in a government like that of North Korea or the previous Iraq government you would be executed or exiled for even questioning the government policy, let alone the fact it is complete blasphemy.

  • Quoting you "none of the states that have promised to take care of their people have failed". With Social Security and medicare America is still one of the most successful nations, and it must be understood sir that doing nothing was exactly what Hoover did. At the end of Hoovers presidency the nations economy was at a low and the American peoples moral broken. These rights stated in the second bill have been a safety net for many Americans through out the rest of the 20th century.

  • I love it how that pig Glenn Beck mentioned communist states. Why didn't he mention European nations?

  • @seekisforme5 They are socialist states. That is why, moron.

  • @ARepublicanVictory FDR was a communist? What a moron....

  • Canada, Sweden, Japan, Norway > Glen Beck's imagination.

  • @thesullielives Socialism doesn't work except for the lazy man. where's the incentive to get an education and work hard and having a chance to maybe become independently wealthy one day. Socialism doesn' t supply that opportunity. Sweden has a largely free market system which is why their economy is doing so well. But the tax rates are extremely high along with government spending but the government takes a hands off approach to businesses.

  • I don't know who is more ridiculous. Is it Glenn or these 2 morons? I've met teenagers with higher intelligence.

  • Isn't it interesting that George Soro's pays 90 people, media matters, think progress, countless fringe bloggers & news agencies just to attack the content and information of just one man -Glenn Beck? Boy o Boy, that in itself says a lot about how this Socialist billionaire, Soros, financial manipulator of governments, feels so threatened every time some actually does their homework and presents concentrated research exposing a long term agenda of deception and censorship make america socialist.

  • @prffsrx Yeah lets go after Soros and ignore the Koch brothers and Rupert Murdoch's right wing media machine..

    Lets look at the modern day William Randolph Hearst who pushed America into war with Iraq and the Koch brothers who pay others in the media and in Washington to convince the American people that its in their interest to send their jobs overseas and to make minimum wage. Shepherd Smith GOD love him, called the right wingers out on that...

  • The only way you'll get a reaction from the American people is threaten to give them healthcare.

  • If communism is so bad and you get knee jerk reactions from the under informed Americans then why do the so called right wing and left wing wealthy investing in china ? walmart=china, target=china,best buy=china you can go on and on China.

    Democracy.Communism Socialism Capitalism lets face it we have a mix of these and have had it for many years and it works. we just call them economic safety nets.but be careful what you want. we could be a country of low wages and higher cost of living.

  • @bazzz707100 If you look it up, the only part of China that is booming is Hong Kong. Why??? Because Hong Kong is allowed to practice capitalism. It's the only city that is allowed that. And strangely that's where all the wealth is created. Hmmmm  Communsm/socialism is all evil. Anything that deprives anyone of any freedoms is evil. I don't nor will I ever rely on anyone else for my well being. I can spend my own money better than any government and I can help my neighbor w/o gov't mandates

  • Glenn beck wants governments like the banana republics for us.

  • @bazzz707100 No he wants a government like the Founding Fathers established. The kind of government that created the freest and greatest country ever known. Socialism/communism has never created that. The reason this country is in the perils that it is, is directly caused by socialist/communist within the government who instituted big government and regulations. You can't dispute the facts but the commie pricks sure call people names. But then again, that's all they have for retalliation.

  • @bjrc1979

    YOU mean the kind of goverment where we need to have amendments to seek clarification and to cover ground they didn't? You mean the kind of goverment that led to Civil War? The perils of goverment were created by capitalism without regulation that led to poverty, tainted food, destruction of the land etc. TR changed that, along with Wilson and FDR. Oh yeah add Nixon on that list when he used the power of the federal goverment to creat clean water and enviormental regulations.

  • @MrMojoRisinII Sorry sir, but your level of ignorance seems to know no bounds. You haven't done an ounce of your own research on any of these facts. Besides the fact that what you point out are meaningless facts. You have been indoctrinated just as the rest have. I have done my own homework and I know the truth. The simple truth is the further we get from the Founding Fathers' intent the worse this nation becomes. This nation became what it is directly because of the capitalist system.

  • @MrMojoRisinII

    It's not a coincidence that this nation is the only truelly free nation. Well until Obama and the socialists are done with it that is... When you do your own research and not following the liberal spin or anyone else's bull you simply get the truth. With every progressive/socialist/liberal policy made, more freedom is lost. Jobs and money are lost. I can spend my money & make better decisions for my family than the government can. I'm being serious though, research the truth.

  • Education is not a right...

    No one has a right to someone else's service

  • LOL! What is so hard to understand from history?

    This comments are stupid why not get facts and discredit Beck?

  • in Glenn Becks America people go jobless and starve and get sick and die while having no education. but im sure Beck and his ilk wont ever have that problem cuz they are "real" Americans with that "i have mine and if you cant get what i got on youre own then go fuck your self and go die in a gutter"attitude.

  • FDR welcomes your hatred, Beck.

  • way to go editing the video

  • Beck is not even a fraction of the man FDR was.

  • Beck is not against everyone having rights - right to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness. he's refering to "univeral rights" - language used in Communism when total gov calls the shots. we don't have an automatic right to food and job if we don't earn it. we have a right to earn it. we shouldn't want the gov to babysit us. yall should be smart enough to know this.

    Communism always promise to oppress in reality - force everyone on same level. a few of O's czars are communists and look up toMao

  • A piss poor country china was in the past but we may not agree with there form of government but see it worked for the short term and graduated to what we see now china owns us without them we would be in a bad way, new modern cities highly educated people,and keeping their nose out of other countries political problems therefore not making enemies but friends and new business around the world, whatever it is they are kicking butt economically.

  • @bazzz707100 lol piss poor country china was in the past? learn some history son. They have always had more potential than any country in the world. Yes, including America, unfortunately.

  • Fuck Glenn Beck. Kick dirt on the accomplishments of a great man when all you've done is act as the conscience of ignorant hateful America...

  • glen beck has to get the fuck off tv he have absolutly no idea what the fuck his is talking about let see him lead the nation during a depression, while totalitarianism rises in the world leading to the worst war in history

  • Who knew FDR would still be winning battles to this day?

  • lol at a whiny bitch attacking one of greatest presidents anyone who hasnt listen to fdr's speeches the man was brilliant

  • Glenn Beck attacking FDR is like Pol Pot having a go at Gandhi.

  • Glenn Beck seems to be against all of the government´s humanitarian efforts.

    WHAT!?!? Governments helping PEOPLE? EEEEEEEEVUUUUUUUUUUUUUL!!!! D:

  • Yes, Glenn Beck...I guess this is the reason why FDR served 12 years in the presidential office. I guess people didn't like him, huh? I guess he didn't get America out of the Depression with his New Deal? Oh, and it didn't work for the French, right? They copied the New Deal over there! Beck, you are a MORON. FDR was the greatest president ALIVE, even if he made moral mistakes!

  • "Remember...a book, Mein Kampf, written by Hitler himself. The technique was all set out in Hitler's book...According to that technique, you should never use a small falsehood; always a big one, for its very fantastic nature would make it more credible - if only you keep r...epeating it over and over and over again." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt

    Where do you think Beck learned his techniques? From the man he's always accusing others of learning from.

  • "Even though we shall have conquered our enemies on the battlefield abroad, we shall have yielded to the spirit of Fascism here at home... People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made....American's own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for our citizens. For unless there is security here at home, there cannot be lasting peace in the world." -Franklin Delano Roosevelt

  • Comment removed

  • What Beck fails to mention is that this came on the heels of FDR's G.I. Bill of Rights which gave millions of American G.I.'s the RIGHT to go to college which profoundly affected the future of "The Greatest Generation." He also introduced this radical program as a necessary counterbalance to Republicans who were denying the right to vote to our servicemen overseas in the 1944 presidential election because the overwhelming majority would vote for their Commander in Chief.

  • I'm not sure if I should dislike like this because it features a hoser like Glenn Beck or if I should like it because it makes Beck look like a braying ass.

    I don't understand how anyone can stomach him.

  • Tea Baggers should just be saying "Heil Beck!" and "Heil Palin!" and "Heil Paul!"

  • im a fucking liberal democrat and i think FDR was great

    Glenn Beck is the real anti american

  • FDR was one of the greatest Presidents in the 20th Century

  • These "Young Turks are FOOLS and ANTI-AMERICAN.

    YOU TURKS (why aren't you called "young Americans"??) are idiots and need to move to Cuba where your heros rule.

  • @jimbritttn "These "Young Turks are . . . ANTI-AMERICAN"

    What the hell does that mean? When you are talking about a country where you can say, think, and believe whatever you want, then what exactly is "anti-American?"

    Even if what they think is best for the country is completely opposite of what you think is best for the country, the very fact that everyone is allowed to have a difference of opinion is quintessentially American.

  • Glenn Beck is truly a f#$%^&g idiot.

  • Glenn Beck showcases a perfect example of class-A ignorance.

  • I hate you Glenn beck you should not host any show on TV you are full of shit

  • News: China failed when 30 mil people died of famine because of Mao's agricultural program. China failed in Tienanmen Square. China failed when censoring Twitter and Google for words like "Egypt" in fear the Arab revolution might be an idea for their citizens. China failed when turning its citizens into slaves for GDP growth that only Party oligarchs benefit from. China failed when they arrested the wife of a dissident because he won the Nobel Price. Need more examples, TYT ?!

  • I don't know what to do. Glenn and people like him don't live in reality, there's no way to argue with them. You give them one fact and they counter with 10 lies they heard on Faux "News".

  • FDR was a scumbag.

  • @bajoverga

    come on people... glenn beck is a MORMON piece of shit. "recovering" alcoholics, religious nutjobs, and college dropouts should work at walmart. allowing retards like this on tv is just irresponsible.

  • @dlselway I'll let you know that i'm mormon and i think that gleen is full of crap and is a nutjob

  • What was FDR supposed to do? In the Depression, people were starving to death. Trickle down theory wasn't going to change that (at least in enough time to help those who were the worst off). You didn't really have places you could go back then to get even the basics if you were really bad off.

  • Yeah, FDR and Eleanor Roosevelt were communists. *facepalm*

  • Government IS oppression. For once, I agree with Beck. He wants to prevent the government from gaining more power.

  • @PluralOfEverything Government doesn't have to be oppression. We formed the government for the very purpose of preserving our liberties!

  • It's funny because it's logically impossible to be absolutely strict-constructionist towards the Constitution, since if we did only follow exactly what was written, there would be no way to execute expressed powers, since they are not clarified as to how they will be carried out in the Constitution. ie: It would be unconstitutional to establish the structure of the military because it isn't explicitly written how it will be organized.

  • When did China fail? China had the Great Leap that left more Chinese starving than there've been casualties in WWII. It's doing fine now, but that's because the talk about communism in China is merely a lip service.

  • FDR messed up a lot of stuff and did seize a lot of power.

  • who the hell would dislike this channel?
