Comments on: Update II: Beck: ‘I’m With Ron Paul’ (Breaking From The Pack) https://barelyablog.com/beck-im-with-ron-paul/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: John Danforth https://barelyablog.com/beck-im-with-ron-paul/comment-page-1/#comment-9868 Sun, 18 Apr 2010 16:53:56 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=24324#comment-9868 I was completely surprised to see this episode of Beck. Perhaps he really is learning. His trek of following the evidence to inescapable conclusions seems to be mirroring my own, more than 20 years ago. I must confess, up until a few years ago, I never thought I would see these concepts on national TV. Ever.

We need to thank the Tax Pigs and Obama for pushing their agenda too fast, thereby awakening the people. If enough people wake up in time, perhaps we can prevent the implementation of ‘welcome to the next level’.

although Michele Bachmann, Glenn Beck, Joseph Farah, Chuck Baldwin, Andrew Napolitano, and Ron Paul did. They have “anti-government” views which (dot dot dot ….) gets tied to McVeigh, every racist in history, (dot dot dot ….). Interesting reading.

(1) Perhaps Glenn Beck is SLOWLY learning – good! Still, the “Afghanistan, we fight to win it.” is naive – WIN WHAT?? Al Queda is long gone and Afghanistan has always been a tribal mess. But then he does recognize: “We’re coming home — and we won’t waste our time rebuilding your country either. You messed with us? Your bad”

(2) Diana West is also an Afghanistan skeptic.

(3) I often wonder how it is that people like retiring Justice Stevens will writhe in agony about giving out the death penalty to a convicted sadistic-rapist-torturer of a 6 year old girl after a well defended trial and appeals …. BUT … will have no problem about some hot-rod corporal in Nevada pushing a button to have a Reaper drone drop a 500 lb bomb on an 80 person wedding party because some “bad guy” tribesmen may be in attendance. The rationale is that ” ‘THEY’ attacked us on 9/11″ which is nonsense. Subsequently, America creates 300 new “enemies” in the process. Both left and right think that such killings is justified.

(4) Is there hope that Sarah and Michele and other “conservatives” start thinking outside the Wilsonian neocon box some day???

I agree that our abysmal choices for “other than Democrat” were no where near the founders (even less so with BHO), I still have some issues with Paul. Also, I’m not surprised there is a Saudi behind the curtain – we’ve given way too much of our tresure to them, with our government’s lack of leadership in maximizing our domestic oil exploration and production.

I see Glenn Beck as putting a damp finger to the wind.

A few months ago Diana West blew the lid off the fact that News Corps (Fox’s parent company) second-largest shareholder is Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.

In my view, this is probably closer to the truth. I simply don’t trust Beck to take a principled stand on anything.

Limbaugh and to a greater extent Hannity and O’Reilly are clearly tied in to the fauxnews mantra. O’Reilly admits going to AIPAC fundraisers. And the AIPAC leader campaigns against Ron Paul.

But I don’t know what to make of this guy. After I decided to vote for Ron Paul in 2008, Beck said Paul was closest to the founding fathers but that he was wrong on many issues. That statement didn’t make a lot of sense to me. I am still not sure if he is a RINO or not. Time will tell.
