yes it was. sorry, somehow I missed it-

Does anyone else have the cheap tap on their phone that make it snap, crackle and pop? I want to be at least scary enough to have a good tap, those noises are making me crazy!

but it makes such a lovely display, and a fun noise!

I get the march to destruction after the bloom of freedom, but I disagree with so much on the surface of that quote. Overall, it's straight up religious and advocating for altruism which is how we got into the welfare mess in the first place. Dollars to donuts, I'll bet the poor were not clamoring for welfare, but politicians were. I like M Freidman's quote better.
"There is all the difference in the world, however, between two kinds of assistance through government that seem superficially similar: first, 90 percent of us agreeing to impose taxes on ourselves in order to help the bottom 10 percent, and second, 80 percent voting to impose taxes on the top 10 percent to help the bottom 10 percent -- William Graham Sumner's famous example of B and C decided what D shall do for A. The first may be wise or unwise, an effective or ineffective way to help the disadvantaged -- but it is consistent with belief in both equality of opportunity and liberty. The second seeks equality of outcome and is entirely antithetical to liberty."

I shouldn’t have said that he said it was an inside job. You are right, but... He implied that a person of interest, someone he knew to be a very, very bad person was aided out of the country by the White House administration, no? If there was any truth to this story there would have been no way for the mainstream news not to remark on it.The fact that they didn’t even have the brothers in custody yet, and the country was still in shock with the images that had been broadcasted.He exploited the Boston bombings for his own purposes. I’m totally okay with the fact Glenn Beck fans will ding me (khaling’s word) if I say he makes me sick, only because I have been there. I use to love his program. I allowed him to suspend my reality I chose to believe he was exposing the hidden truths, but he is not.On more than one occasion I watched as he had one figure coming out of his mouth while a different figure was on the chalkboard behind him. I often wondered if he did it on purpose to show his crew that people would believe anything he said even with the contradiction staring them right in their face. He’s good. Real good.

Spirituality leads to courage according to the above recipe. I like the first part of the quote more than the last. I do think that lobbyist, special-interest groups, unions and the likes definitely fulfill the definition of voters who will vote in those who will help them benefit most from the public treasury. The last part, the march of civilization through varying stages, is open to interpretation. You and I have a unique perspective; we can see the merit in selfishness, but if we allow for other views, we can see what the writer was inferring to is a period in which a society lives in excess. BeyondTopSecret’s remarks about tripping towards absolute tyranny reminded me of the quote.

You need to watch your link.

Beck never, in any of the 16:15 minutes, claims that the government played a hand in the bombing.

What he says in the segment is that the declared third person of interest...the Saudi national in the hospital...went from the status of known terrorist, to the status of immediate deportation to Saudi Arabia practically overnight. This happened before our intelligence departments could question him...and right after a Saudi diplomat met with Obama at the White House.

Bottom line: Beck says just what I remembered him to have said, that the White House was protecting this Saudi national from being linked to the crime. And that the White House was making an effort to minimize the Islamic connection.

No where does Beck accuse our government with the event itself.

Watch it for yourself....

Agreed.

What I recall was Beck warning the WH not to white wash the Islamic connection when the two suspects were identified.

species-ist

No such link...but a major misunderstanding?

No he doesn't.

But if that is what you need to justify your radio choices, more power to you.

Too broad a brush...and doesn't work if you look at the cable ratings.

FOX News slaughters the rest, and they are the only one that doesn't lip-synch the DNC talking points. That can only mean that the majority of people who seek their news on cable are not going to the stations that enable this administration. If you were correct, they would all be moving towards the bigger audience for the bottom line.

But they don't. They have an ideological agenda no less devoted than the West Wing...and they are willing to forgo profits over message.

Khaling, I’ll BB later on. My head is suddenly pounding.

Hahahaha.
