Glenn Beck Rules!

I'm watching the Glenn Beck show on CNN right now. Great stuff!! Ha Ha Ha!
Seriously, it's very entertaining.

Tonight's show is entitled "Liberty in Peril". It's complete with dramatic music at the beginning and end of each segment of the show.

There was a great segment about the evil of free-trade (NAFTA). The humorous part of all this, is the idea that America would be in any way nervous about the economic impact of increased free trade with such comparatively small economies such as those of Canada and Mexico!

Now concern about the impact of India and China on the American economy makes more sense!

What I find so interesting is the idea that there is so much concern about the state of the nation. Is American liberty in peril?

As I pointed out in a previous post, CNN has a real habit of providing programing that is designed to stir up fear and unrest about the state of the nation.

For example:
"Planet in Peril" is on the screen virtually all the time, in every show.
or
"Liberty in Peril" with Glenn Beck!

I admit that the 'drama' of his program is one of the reasons that I watch it... but I do think that in many ways it does serve to undermine Americans faith in their own government and the safety, stability and future of their nation.

One of the major messages that is getting broadcast over and over again is essentially: "Our nation is screwed up! The government is inept, the planet is falling apart, our borders are not secure and the terrorists are more and more of a threat to us."

It's with a kind of morbid fascination that I watch these things! Entertaining on one level and yet disturbing on another.

"Liberty in Peril"!! Ha Ha.... that's a hot one! LOL!

Who comes up with this stuff?

Glenn Beck rules!
