Glenn Beck on "Change"

Not a lot of substance. Just hit on right-wing talking points.

I was waiting for him to start talking about "the socialist socializer societites" or something similar he was so heavy on epitaphs. Sort of a Bill Maher of the right.

Beck might be the most arrogant prick on Fox News, and that's saying something.

I actually like Beck. He doesn't take himself too seriously.

I'm trying to think of who that is. Does he sometimes guest host for Limbaugh?

Yes. That is where I heard him. Yesterday. I don't listen to Rush, but stopped long enough to hear him substituting yesterday. Very funny guy I thought. Good sense of humor. Has British accent.

Obama's first phone call was not to any ally, (of ours) not to the UN Secretary General, not to Putin... not to the head od the Chinese government.....no, it was to Palestinian president Abbas.

Obama's first interview was not with CBC, NBC, ABC or CNN (and certainly not Fox), it was with Al Arabiya.

Change you wanted, change you shall damned well get.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to (and have their citizens suffer) to repeat it."
George Santayana

Faithfulness to the truth of history involves far more than a research, however patient and scrupulous, into special facts. Such facts may be detailed with the most minute exactness, and yet the narrative, taken as a whole, may be unmeaning or untrue.

The narrator must seek to imbue himself with the life and spirit of the time. He must study events in their bearings near and remote; in the character, habits, and manners of those who took part in them. He must himself be, as it were, a sharer or a spectator of the action he describes."
~ Francis Parkman

"A country losing touch with its own history is like an old man losing his glasses, a distressing sight, at once vulnerable, unsure, and easily disoriented."
~ George Walden (b. 1939)

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men.

He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist.

A murderer is less to fear. The traitor is the plague.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero quotes (Ancient Roman Lawyer, Writer, Scholar, Orator and Statesman, 106 BC-43 BC)

"During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act."
George Orwell

"Liberal: a power worshiper without power."
George Orwell

"Patriotism is usually stronger than class hatred, and always stronger than internationalism."
George Orwell

A blast from the past.

As one writer put it, "history that had slipped beyond the horizon."


The library of congress.



"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
George Orwell
