[38Gaucho]

Whole speech amounts to vague rheotric about honor, and an assertation that God and dead colonials are in charge of us, not us.

[38Gaucho]

Point #26: *A bunch of purely rhetorical stuff about honor, leaving freedom better than how we found it, amounting to essentially nothing of substance. With an appeal to finding a new monolithic military leader in the vein of George Washington.* You know, to lead us in revolt against the British again.

Bottom line, I fear that the militaristic doomsday christian neocon movement in America is dangerous, it is the beginnings of a christian fascist movement if its members are not careful.

[38Gaucho]

Point #25: "This almost entirely male group of religious leaders agrees on one thing: God is the answer." Which even Glenn Beck would probably agree is not a whole lot of common ground from a religious standpoint. And is also actually a pretty irrelevant and vague point to make in regards to modern government. We don't live in a theocracy, and bronze age religious tomes do not provide anything close to a comprehensive framework for running a modern society.

[38Gaucho]

Point #24: "Not about churches against each other, this is about GOd being in charge of us, not some government that exists in the 'real world' and serves 'necessary societal functions' and is 'democratically elected' and 'protects people's constitutional right not to have a religion or have religious values imposed on them.' This is about human beings being God's little playthings, and my appeal to God has nothing to do with manipulation or an appeal to archaic societal control mechanisms."

[38Gaucho]

Point #23: "My whole life was a lie, I had wrecked my whole life, I had dishonored myself in every way." But I come to you today trying to sell books full of vague, empty rhetoric, and to promote viewership of my crazed conspiracy nonsense TV show, so that I can at least be a RICH s**tbag.

[38Gaucho]

Point #22: "No lies in your life." Yeah I'm sure Glenn Beck has never talked ad nauseum about ridiculous conspiracy theories as if they were objective fact. On his Fox News show. Look it up. No surely Glenn Beck is the most intellectually honest man in existence. And the ignorant, scared bunny rabbits of his Tea Party are just as honest. They wouldn never leap to conclusions like "Obama is a fascist." There is nothing disingenuous or intellectually insulting about that.

[38Gaucho]

Point #21: *A bunch of baloney about God and how he is in charge of us.* So we give up civil constitutional democratic government for the moral tyranny of a magical made up man in the sky, and an unregulated capitalist experiment in which corporations with no democratic accountability will run everything. Oh wait, we're already pretty much there because of people like these idiots falling for the manipulative lies of irredeemably and shamelessly corrupt Republican politicans.

[38Gaucho]

Point #20: "Two choices: Does America go forward and the American experience expands, or does the experiment fail with us?" Again, kind of fear-mongering here, this is a very vague ultimatum to throw at these people. He's saying that America was intended to be a country with no government because all government does is hamper freedom, and if we don't get rid of government America has failed and will be a horrible country and will cease to be democratic. No government sounds undemocratic to me.

[38Gaucho]

Point #19: "We must as a people strengthen our spirit." Really pretty vague there Beck. Kind of unhelpful.

[38Gaucho]

Point #18: "Every fear I have played since latching onto and nursing this Tea Party to it's current strength is as real and immediate as the iceberg that sunk the Titanic." Sure Glenn. Like when you said earlier that if we don't listen to you, America will cease to be democratic? That wasn't fear-mongering and playing on these people's paranoia?
