With an article titled “We Surround Them,” Beck sounds downright Marxist before laying out his Nine Principles, playing to public frustrations and insecurities and suggesting that the unwashed masses outnumber the schmucks at the top.
Then he lays down these points that sound good, but not the way he means them. As a bonus, he gives us the Boy Scout Law in a sidebar! A revolution for sure! Here are the nine points with my commentary in bold:
1. America is good. That’s why we forcibly invade countries like Iraq and commit torture against foreign nationals. In fact, it’s so good, 40 million of our citizens can’t afford health care!
2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life. Gee whiz! If everyone else in America sees that I believe God, we’ll take down those nasty ol’ communists for sure!
3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday. Then you’d have to stop believing in point number one.
4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government. But if the government says your boys and girls need to die in Iraq, stop asking questions.
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it. Then why aren’t you pushing to have Bush and Cheney, as well as their administrations, indicted for their roles in torturing foreign nationals?
6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results. Translation: Those commies will all force us to have life and liberty, but what if I don’t want ‘em!?
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. This is anti-health care propaganda, framing the argument as “forced charity” instead of every citizen’s right to life, which he says we have in point six. Cognitive dissonance, anyone?
8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion. Unless you think we should withdraw from Iraq. Then you keep your mouth shut and put on this flag pin.
9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me. Let’s hope the government never answers to Glenn Beck
