No, actually just crazy.

Itâs a bit alarming when legitimate lunatics and conspiracy theorists are given a stage and a megaphone within the political arena, and when a not-so-insignificant percentage of the population nods along in agreement and allows this psychotic garbage to influence the way they vote. What used to be the old cartoon cliche of the guy standing in the street with a âthe end is near!â sign board is now a radio host, best selling author, and at one time was given a whole show on a cable ânewsâ station to propagate his nonsense.
The end might actually be near. But not at all for the reason Glenn Beck or his shit-for-brains audience thinks.

He looks like âTimâ from The Holy Grail.
I sure wish I had no conscience and was young enough to follow his crooked path, Iâd be the worldâs richest man.

At the end of the day, with these people it all comes down to one simple underlying fear: the diminishing influence of old, rich, white Christian straight males.

Since when is 2014 âThe dawn of progressivism.â The progressive era in the United States was in the 1920âs. The original idea comes from The Middle Ages, The Age of Reason and all that. I think he needs to bone up on some history
Wait. Am I misunderstanding something, or is he saying that in forty years the history books will look back at 2014 as the year that great things happened? Thatâs not the distant future. Itâs like us looking back at 1974. And it seems to me that if the history books recorded 1974 as the year that started a new era of equality, and diversity, and toleranceâŚtheyâd probably be right and youâd look like a nutjob for disagreeing.
And thatâs the thing, that we have old dudes right now who declare that Equal Rights and hippies were the beginning of the endâŚand we all mock them for it. And according to Glenn Beckâs prediction, this trend will continue into the future. And for once, heâs probably right. Because I can totally see Beck saying this crap forty years from now and insisting that it proves he was right all along. And the rest of us will be saying, âman, that nutjob is still around?â

And honestly, if your best argument is âSome day, even the history books will say Iâm wrong.â Then youâre an idiot and need to stop talking immediately.

The clip would have gone on longer, but it was interrupted when some mental health workers staged an intervention and took his crazy ass to CVS for a refill on his meds.

As for the term âBest Selling Authorâ, Iâve heard that the John Birch society buys his books in bulk
so he can be characterized as a best selling author. Just sayinâ.
What? Victimitis? No, thatâs a real thing that afflicts millions of narcissists each year. Itâs pretty bad. No matter how much they offend people, all they can think about is how offended they are. Itâs a real pity.

Yes Glenn, with the mid-term elections of 2014 the GOTP now controls the House of Representatives, the Senate and owns the Supreme Court of the United States. So if 2014 is the beginning of the end of capitalism (Actually plutocracy.) then it must be the fault of Republicans.
Sometimes I canât decide if Beck is insane or an idiot. I have finally decided that he is both.

Didnât we see that as a prediction in the movie âNetworkâ in 1975

Indeed. It is also alarming that the media permits and actually tries to put into the mainstream blatant racists like Cruz, Palin, Trump and others. Week after week. It is all part of the mediaâs of false equivalency.
