Glenn Beck is a breathtakingly stupid ex-DJ, who thinks wingnut spree-killers are forced into killing by political correctness. But he is also a thought-leader of the Republican party, so I’m sure there are better versions of post like this around the liberal internet tubes – but I just had to take a look at Beck’s 9 principles to see what the wignuts are all sporting boners over.
Here it goes…
1. America is good.
Check. So far so good. If they are all this insightful I’ll gladly sign up for Hube’s teabagging. (I’ll ignore the fact that they probably mean waving the flag is good, and hope for the best.)
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
I happen to love skydad. But I think this is phrase to be able to exclude people like me who don’t go around sticking in in every-one’s face.
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
While I can readily see why this would be something that lying low life Republicans would want to say to themselves – I don’t see them saying it being turned into any honesty.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
The family is sacred? If this read, “My third spouse and I are the ultimate authority, until our offspring figure out how full of shit we are.” it would have been more honest.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
Hmmm… let’s say…Only rich, well-connected people are above the law. But that’s it..and I mean it.
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
I have a right to look down on poor people. Let’s face it, that’s what he is really saying here. A little honesty please wingnuts…remember #3.
7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
Translation: I’m not paying no stinking death tax.
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
A little of number 8 would have been like a blast of fresh air when Bush was screwing things up – but this item only applies to trashing Democrats.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
Like item number 1, I have no problem with this sentiment.
Bottom line: What a bunch of cry baby sore loser bullshit. The idea that rich people are being abused by the government would be laughable if so many of these retards didn’t believe it.
For anyone who wants a dose of reality just take a look at the numbers. Unlike Beck – they don’t lie.
