GLEN BECK BATTLES PROGESSIVES AND BASIC AMERICAN DENIALISM

While MSNBC and others of the OBN(Obama News Network) batter away at Glen Beck daily, I'm not sure they are aware of the ally they have in a simple, yet pronounced component of American psychology. In a world where congress enjoys its lowest trust rating since such data has been compiled, the Supreme Court is viewed by many as a group of rabid appointed legislators, and the President's approval ratings have been on a steady down slide since he took office and the few moments where the President's ratings have eased their steady descent has been when he invents a new root villain for the countries woes which could make Hitler blush, I'm afraid a large contingent of the American public still 'feel' that no single American can really be as bad and seeking ill for the country as president Obama, much less, a whole administration packed full.

While I think President Obama could be in possession of the thinnest skin of any man that has ever held the office, that alone can not explain the so remarkably unpresidential nature of the constant barrage of attacks upon Mr. Beck. The only explanation for this assault is that Mr. Beck's rhetoric not only rings of truth, he has proven to be an educator without peer. Mr. Beck has injected himself into the script of a Scifi movie where he alone has discovered that malevolent aliens have long plotted, and are finally taking the last steps to take over the country, and he alone must shock the brainwashed public out of their brain numbed trance. The only difference being that this is not a movie, and the beings trying to destroy the United States are human. At least in a biologic sense.

Mr. Beck always carefully explains that the destruction of America did not begin with Obama, but Obama is merely moving the pieces in what progressives hope is the end game of the America of our Founding Fathers. While much is made of modern literacy rates compared to the past, I contend that the ability to read without the ability to understand, and controlling what people read and hear leaves a people more susceptible to propaganda and brainwashing than a population unable to recite the alphabet. I am regularly brought to the precipice of a technicolor yawn in the face of people that believe reading Time, O, Newsweek, Cosmopolitan, and watching MSNBC legitimizes their claim of being informed. Currently, Mr. Beck is the only celebrity advocating reading materials written by our Founding Fathers, and reading that which those currently in control of this country have written.

As is my custom, when someone presents an opinion or information which concerns me, yet I fear may be accurate, my energies are directed at finding flaws in their argument and Mr. Beck's assessment of what our government has metastasized into, is no exception. I take an approach not unlike the way loan officers used to operate: Try and find a reason not to lend the money, and if you can't, it is okay to make the loan. Since, however, Mr. Beck's case, employs so much information I have long been aware of, and conclusions I have long held, my own lack of ignorance proves an obstacle to the objectivity I normally insist from myself. As much as I have tried however, I've been unable to find infractions in Mr. Beck's deductions, more over, I've been unable to unearth any element of Mr. Beck's arguments that would logically lead anyone to any other conclusions than the ones he has expressed.

The only area I stray from in Mr. Beck's gatherings is his omnipresent optimism. Sadly, I no longer am in possession of a positive outlook for our country and though I feel Mr. Beck's efforts to educate a historically deprived public is the best action taken by anyone hoping to restore America, I fear it is too little too late. I am afraid "THEY FAILED TO SEE THE EVIL BEFORE THEM" will be America's epitaph.
