Beck is canny in using FF imagery to promote his agenda. A lot of his mob have reverence to the Revolutionary War era figures, and using them enhances his message.

The FF’s spinning in their graves has been an energy source used by birchers for years now. Don’t know how much longer the bearings attached to them can hold up before the dynamos succumb to centrifugal disintegration.

I grew up in the 1950’s. Needless to say I no longer recognize this country.

The fact that the title of his book is Common Sense is so offensive to me. Paine must be whirling.

Your choice of artwork demands comment.

there’s a lot of irony in Glen Beck using Tom Paine’s pamphlet as the title for his summer 2009 comedy shows. He took it a bit further with his appropriation of Franklin’s “Unite or Die” flag.

The irony is in the tactics he’s encouraging - not civil discourse, but uncivil shouting down of opposition by a minority. Even when the majority isn’t right it is immoral, unethical and profoundly any-democratic to stifle discourse, and the minority that is engaged in this is reprehensible. Shame on you Glen.

I’m so sorry. At least she had a wonderful caring friend at the end. You’re a special fella. Puts those stunted trolls in perspective.

Naw, I don’t want him.

Vet did xrays Thursday morning. Cancer in and around her stomach. That afternoon she laid her little head on my chest and began her journey to Rainbow Bridge.
