Beck should remember that the DOD used to be known as the Department of War.

Truth in advertising demands its return to its former name.

As for armed Peace (sic) Corps, watch the following commercial for the Navy. It’s entitled “US Navy: A Global Force for Good.” The final scene nails it when it comes to America’s hegemony over the world. http://www.navy.com/the-calling/?campaign=promocalling_navy

Scary, no?

Fox and Beck were also part of the television educators that taught how government economics works after the bubble burst a couple of years ago and the TEA Parties began to form.

I caught this program yesterday, and while I thought it was rather informative overall what really surprised me was the image of George W. Bush on a wall of Progressives and Beck saying the former president was basically a globalist. I admit to watching little television and even less of Glenn Beck but I am pleasantly surprised to hear at least a fragment of truth about our former president coming out on the Republican network. This was also the first time I have ever heard Woodrow Wilson referred to as a "racist dirtbag" on national television!

I'll never be able to fully trust Beck; after all he did call me a domestic terrorist himself once. Youtube of Beck Calling Ron Paul Movement Terrorists Still, his turnabout has been amazing, and the most encouraging thing to me is that with his ratings at historic levels, Americans are actually tuning in to watch shows about history! This is something I never thought I'd see. The strategy in public schools is to make history boring, all about memorizing names and dates to be disgorged on meaningless tests. The idea is to make the subject repugnant to the average person. It works. People don't know history, don't care, and most importantly, don't want to think about it. That's how the Big Lie survives. But people are waking up, and it doesn't take a majority to topple a Big Lie.

Yes, the military as social experiment, as employment for the poor and downtrodden, as welfare, as an armed Peace Corps to realize the utopian dreams of our Progressive “leaders” in both parties . . . Politicians and generals strategizing, making often inane, airy policies . . . If we have leisure to view the military this way, that tells me we don’t really have a real dog in this fight, nothing truly vital. In the now quaint Jeffersonian view of a nation of farmers, for example, everybody is in the militia, everybody is part of the police force. An agrarian society tends to be conservative, peaceable, going to war only if and when there are actual threats to the republic, to kith and kin.

What do we have, bread and circuses, while the legions are off fighting for the interests of the empire? Ave, Caesar! Morituri te salutant!

You’re so close, Glenn! Take the next step!
