Dang, I’ve felt like this several times since January 20…
Background: This video begins right after Glenn Beck reports that Pres. Obama announced that he plans to make all illegal aliens legal and give them additional rights and taxpayer-funded entitlements.
Glenn Beck to Obama: If Your Agenda is to Destroy America—Why Don’t You Just Set Us on Fire Right Now? | Posted on YouTube April 9, 2009
Brilliant. Angst-ridden, over-the-top political satire.
Beck’s being ripped into by the leftist groups and websites and media over this wild broadcast (pick your description: loon, crazy, deranged, violence inciter, liar, buffoon, clown, irresponsible, and more that I won’t type). However, rapper Eminem’s new misogynist Sarah Palin/celeb-sex-fantasy rap song is just peachy good fun, not a bit of negative press that I can find, and per a big number of HuffPo degenerates who honestly believe that, since they don’t like Palin, she deserves ALL the insults and sexual slurs dished out, no matter what lies or denigrations they are. Strong, attractive women should never be Republican, ‘cuz then they deserve to be mocked and demeaned. ‘Cuz they’re stupid like that Palin chick. That’s what they deserve. But not attractive Democrat women. No, not them, ‘cuz they care about people and are good, so you should never say bad things about them, even if it’s true. And they’re all smart. Yeah, right…
To millions of conservatives, Beck has squarely hit the nail on the head. He articulates what so many feel these days. While the liberals have said time and time again “the fad of conservatism is over,” the numbers do not bear that claim out.
TV viewership of Beck’s new show on Fox is currently higher than that of the viewership of the three major news stations that air opposite him, COMBINED.
From the New York Times:
Mr. Beck, an early-evening host on the Fox News Channel, is suddenly one of the most powerful media voices for the nation’s conservative populist anger. Barely two months into his job at Fox, his program is a phenomenon: it typically draws about 2.3 million viewers, more than any other cable news host except Bill O’Reilly or Sean Hannity, despite being on at 5 p.m., a slow shift for cable news.
With a mix of moral lessons, outrage and an apocalyptic view of the future, Mr. Beck, a longtime radio host who jumped to Fox from CNN’s Headline News channel this year, is capturing the feelings of an alienated class of Americans.
No, it isn’t JUST the illegal alien issue that puts Beck over the edge, you short-sighted liberals. It’s that, combined with every other bloody anti-Constitution thing Obama has hammered us with since his first day in office. His job is not to remake the country, no matter what he thinks—it is to be a temporary steward and protector of the American people and its Constitution, while being the Commander in Chief of our military. Obama’s not really acknowledging those jobs, they’re not as snazzy as bankrupting the country and making community service mandatory for our youth. He keeps forgetting he’s the POTUS when he bashes his country in Europe. The people of Turkey hate him, British journalists are mocking him every chance they get, and the French… well, the French are keeping pretty mum for now.
However, Cuba’s Fidel Castro loves him. Crikey. Is appeasing a socialist, murdering, tyrannical dictator a good thing these days?
I don’t want to set myself on fire, but there have been so many times since January 20 that I’ve wanted to bang my head repeatedly on my desk, that my heart has been heavy, and I’ve grieved for what looks like the slow death of America. Beck just put it all together in one outrageous video. Meant to be an attention getter? Of course it was, you silly liberals. Like that new Eminem song is… only the rapper is shilling for sales and is going for titillating the lowest common denominator, whereas Beck was once again reaching out, galvanizing and recharging the millions of conservatives who watch his show, looking for hope to save our nation from socialism.
Thank you, Glenn. You’re a true American. Wacky at times, but a true American.

Reminder: Next Wednesday, April 15, is Tax Protest Tea Party Day. The “tea party” idea is meant to symbolize the Boston Tea Party revolt launched against taxation by our founding fathers during our nation’s infancy. Frugal Café has several posts with current-day tea party information, as do many other conservative bloggers in the blogosphere. You can likely also Google for information.
This is our opportunity, as a concerned nation of patriotic citizens, to let Washington and Obama know loud and clear that we’re sick to death of this trampling on and dismantling of America and her Constitution, that our nation’s bankruptcy is deplorable, and we will not quietly sacrifice our freedoms and all that makes America great, like passive sheep going to the slaughterhouse. No way.
Let your voice join the others on April 15 at a tea party protest rally near you.
What Would the Founding Fathers Do?
