Rand Paul and Glenn Beck

Seriously I'm sick of hearing these two names, especially the latter.  Thankfully, the only time I really hear anything Glenn Beck says is when John Stewart of Stephen Colbert mention it because really, that's about all I can take. So here is my rant on the two, starting with Mr. Glenn Beck.

The reasons why Glenn Beck is nothing more than an ignorant moron are really vast but can be easily narrowed down.  I really don't think this man has a working knowledge of any sort history or even understands the fundamental workings of certain ideals.  Let's take, for example, how everything leads to Nazism in his mind.  I'm not over-exaggerating here either....everything literally turns into Nazism in his warped little world, even health care.  Mind you, he and his fellow GOP bootlickers cry communism at every turn that sometimes I don't know what they think.  President Obama is a Nazi implementing communist ideals?  Glenn Beck, do you know ANYTHING at all about Nazism, fascism, or communism?  I guess he missed class the day they talked about how communists were thrown into the concentration camps in Nazi Germany and killed off.  I think he also missed the slight similarities between Hitler and George W. Bush (We’re talking about the Patriot Act which for all sakes and purposes was really a dictator-like move and the fact that Bush, like Hitler, believed he was doing what God wanted of him.).  Communists were seen as a threat in Germany at this time. 

Do you even know where your fear of communism comes from?  It comes from the McCarthy era.  America was so terrified of the idea of equality amongst all classes that it pointed to Soviet Russia-the most extreme example they knew of-and said “Look at how bad that place is, do you want to end up like that?”  Of course, the majority of the American people replied back with a “Hell no!” and blindly followed the course of American politics over the next 60-ish years which would put down societal advances in a vast amount of countries claiming that there were “protecting” us from communism.  Even in America the results of this free-trade and disgusting capitalistic ideal can be seen in the glaring disparities between the rich and poor.  The trickle-down theory of capitalism doesn’t work.  Socialism does work.  But that’s for a different post.

Peace Corps, according to Glenn Beck is nothing more than the equivalent to Hitler’s Schutzstaffel [SS].  The SS mind you was a paramilitary organization that exemplified all the racial purity beliefs Hitler held onto, on top of being the secret police force that went through and ruthlessly murdered innocent people.  The Peace Corps on the other hand is an organization designed to help people through educational awareness and workshops.  Peace Corps members are all volunteers who work abroad to promote international development.  They’re not the same.  Not even close Glenn Beck.

You know, for as much as he yells Nazism at different measures being initiated, do you think he’ll actually ever admit that he is closer to Nazi ideal than President Obama?  I mean, take for example the fact that the majority of people that support him are Neo-Nazis and he in turn supports paramilitaries such as the Oath Keepers that support an overthrow of the legitimate government.  Just food for thought…

And you Mister Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul…you’re just as annoying.  There is no way that President Obama is “being too tough” on BP.  His criticism against BP is not un-American…if anything he is exercising his Constitutional rights. And he isn’t criticizing businesses.  He is criticizing multinational corporations [MNC] and they are not the same.  Normal businesses don’t overtake countries’ economies.  MNCs do. I guess like Glenn Beck, Rand Paul is unaware of the simplest facts.  The mistake by BP and their “little white lies” about the amount of oil being spilled is taking away from the local economy.  Businesses down there are suffering.  But I guess it is just un-American to point that out because we’re a nation that supports MNCs and will do whatever we can to keep them there.
