Glenn Beck makes sense for once.

Glenn Beck - America MUST Support Ron Paul - Glenn Beck

Wow, to be honest i thought Beck would never support Paul over a Neo-Con candidate.
Maybe he's finally putting his boner for Israel aside and realizing that this country is FUCKED if we don't get our shit in one sock on this side of the Atlantic.

RS, you know I am a Beck watcher and at times a listener.

The other day on the radio he went on a rant about Newt (Anti), Romney (Anti) and Paul (For).

The point of his Rant was that he felt that ego was not the reason Paul and Santorum were running for President. IHO, they wanted to fix things by returning to the Constitution and shrinking the Federal government.   

He also stated, that if Newt got the nomination he would do a write-in or not vote.

Sounds like "Lisa" needs a pair of knee-pads...   [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at

I think Beck may finally see where we are at... 

It's nice, even though you open your eyes to see the stormy clouds... you can also see the possibility of sunshine on the horizon.

where does everyone get off saying that fascism is an extreme right-wing ideology? i was enjoying the vid until he started on that BS.

I see the left-right paradigm as: further left = more gov, further right = less gov.

therefore, starting from extreme left and ending with extreme right: totalitarian/dictatorship ---> Communism/Marxism ---> Fascism ---> mod-extreme socialism ---> typical American liberal (hypocrite) ---> neutral/moderate/sheep/just plain don't care ---> typical American neocon conservative (hypocrite) ---> "social conservative"/Christian fundamentalist (hypocrite) ---> Constitutional Libertarian ---> total voluntarism/local gov. but little-no central gov. ---> anarchism.

just my opinion. I'm no scholar. my only point is that Fascism has no business being associated with the "right" side of the paradigm.

(I also understand that this was not the point of the thread, but it's what stood out to me)
