Judge Napolitano: Glenn Beck "A Champion of Human Freedom", "Fighting Big Government"

[Teaser Rate]

In my view, the board seems to be split on Glenn Beck along the following line:

-One side believes the world is run through competing interests each vying for more power and influence. As such, they can appreciate that Glenn has done more good than harm promoting many issues of the liberty movement to a mass audience since he got on Fox News.

-The other side believes the world is run through a cohesive, all-powerful union of strong elites who own the media and government, and who strive to enslave us all through perpetual war and a police state. Seeing as Glenn Beck is a mainstream media personality who isn’t a purist, he must be a black-ops CIA operation designed to co-opt the liberty movement. He is the enemy and pure NWO, CFR, tri-lateral commission scum who was probably involved in killing JFK and “pulling down” WTC 7.

it seems the only people who like Beck are NEOCONS.

Neocon=Anyone who doesn't want to abolish the entire defense department.

 

[JamalianTheory]

No, just gut feelings. I'm tired of being taken for a fool.

1. Beck is not to be trusted. Remember, he said we were terrorists.
2. Rupert Murdoch signs their checks.
3. Judge Nap giving kudos to Beck, who has yet to apologize or say he was mistaken. Still waiting.
4. Judge Nap giving kudos to Beck.
5. Beck seems fine with being given the mantle of being the poster boy for the Tea Party, which as you know was started here back in 07.
6. Judge Nap giving kudos to Beck.

Gut feelings. Hey, sometimes i'm wrong.

SOMEBODY, find the news clip of Ron Paul saying that Judge Napolitano should be nominated to the supreme court. Find that clip.

Ron Paul fully supports the Judge and he knows full well that he works for Fox News. Why would Paul make such an endorsement for a person that works for this "evil" network? Is Ron Paul a fool?

Judge Napolitano is a NEOCON?

Good post. Well played sir.

No, but seriously, you are correct.

Ron would respect my gut feelings, and i his.

Ron endorses people i put into question. Your point?

 

[JamalianTheory]

So do you put Ron Paul into question? Because obviously, he endorses people that disturb your "gut feeling".

Nap's staunch support of Beck definitely short-circuits people's reasoning about Glenn. Logically, they start to include the Judge in the sordid web. And let me say that I believe in the sway of the CFR and other globalist think tanks, so I'm certainly not your average rube.

Sometimes i follow my gut, sometimes i don't. Is that alright with you?...

 

[payme_rick]

Awesome, I was just thinking, "the front page needs another glenn beck thread!"... Read my mind...

 

[JK/SEA]

bump...

That's okay with me.

 

[Fozz]

I respect the Judge, but Glenn Beck is a snake.

 

[speciallyblend]

Beck is not all bad, just because some people here are comitted beck bashers doesn't mean a thing. I put that up there with Rush Limbaugh who cannot come around to the truth because he has years invested in the wrong philosophies.

Beck is and has been doing a great deal of good for libertarians and bringing to light the desperate struggle we are in to keep and REGAIN our freedoms. He is effective at what he does too. I am under no illusion that he is a 100% libertarian but he is better than most and shows the ability to learn and is willing to change views. He is not a warhawk, although he believes in interventionism to a much larger extent than I do, he is against the FED, he had Austrian Economics day, he likes and respects Ron Paul, he likes Rand, he is against progressivism and the growth of government, he talked about the president killing americans no problem...and so on.


I don't even watch Glen Beck's show and I know all this from clips I see posted in various places.

All I hear here are 90% personal attacks against this guy. Nothing of substance...just lame personal attacks.

it has nothing to do with haters or bashers. It comes down to simple trust which becks lacks mainly! He will have to give alot of Liberty Head to regain trust! He better get to work .He has along way to go and alot of zippers to start working on!! When i can trust glenn beck over the gop leadership! Then he might be getting somewhere! It is about Trust!! Trust is why i sent all my money to Ron Paul 2008!!

 

[LibertyMage]

Glenn Beck has taken a large part of our message and made it mainstream. How many huge figureheads go in front of millions of people and rail against progressivism, increasingly advocate a non-interventionist foreign policy and put Ron Paul in front of the pack? He isn't perfect, but political phenomenon rarely are. You don't have to trust him. Just play the game.

It seems like the only people who don't like Beck are the 9-11 truthers.

lol @ this. Beck was given the opportunity to support a real liberty candidate and Beck went with Rick Perry instead of the Ron Paul backed Medina.

He keeps saying he's more Ron Paul than Sarah Palin but when it comes time to wield his influence and support a liberty candidate over an establishment candidate I think he'll go with the establishment candidate 9 time out of 10.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. I'll trust him when he starts using his influence to get liberty candidates elected instead of the same old establishment candidates.

 

[Reason]

This shit is calling my previous respect for the Judge into question.

Agreed.

 

[MichelleHeart]

I was the standard, state-of-the-art, neoconservative Republican partisan before I started watching Beck. He (yes, HE) brought to my attention the complete joke that is the two-party system. If you want to bring his sincerity into question, fine. But there's one thing you can't deny: He's taken libertarian ideas that were once thought to appeal only to quirky, techy, geeky types, and transformed them into a down-to-earth message that resonates with your average, typical, everyday American. You're not going to attract Grandma and Grandpa to the movement by giving them lectures on the non-aggression axiom. You're just not. Libertarians put so much of their time and efforts on abstract political theory and philosophical reflection that they forget about what truly matters to your, typical middle-class working folks: VALUES. And not just any values (like self-ownership, voluntaryism, etc.), but values that strike at the core of America's heart and soul: thrift, self-reliance, hardwork, charity, personal responsibility, moderation, and love/respect for one's neighbor, which ultimately translates into nonviolence, peace, and individual freedom for all. He takes these values, and explains to the average viewer why libertarianism (along with a dash of cultural conservatism) is compatible with the free, just, and moral society that our Founders envisioned.

That said, I hear a lot of people call Glenn Beck a hawk and a neocon. Not true. He is anything but.

Anybody who tells you that they haven't changed — anybody who hasn't changed their mind on something, especially over a long period of time, is either lying to you or they're dead. We all change. That's the point. We all learn.

In the last five years, I have — I've gone from a big hawk to not Ron Paul, but on the road to Ron Paul. Part of it is motivated by we can't spend it anymore. The other part, honestly, is I wasn't paying attention before 9/11. I didn't know what the heck was going on in the world. Now, I'm paying attention.

When people said they hate us, well, did we deserve 9/11? No. But were we minding our business? No. Were we in bed with dictators that abandoned or values and principles? Yes. That causes problems.

So, here it is if, I'm king of the world, don't screw with us. And when we fight, we'll fight to win and then come home. No nation-building, no U.N.-building. That's it.

The example we set now is what pisses everyone off: We say we're going to spread democracy, but we bed dictators, we bow to Saudi princes, when it's to our advantage. George Washington wanted us to be like the Swiss: Enemy of none, friend to all. Places like Germany — hey, we're glad you are all straightened out, but we're pulling out, you're on your own. We're not staying. We need to get out of the Korean Peninsula and Japan. No longer will we be the world's loiterers.

The United States spends approximately $102 billion annually to maintain troops, equipment, fleets and bases overseas — if you count Iraq and Afghanistan it jumps to $250 billion. Well, I'm tired of being the world's policeman. And in many cases we are the world's loiterers. We need to have a "no loitering" policy.

That policy comes from the progressives. The Republicans say we'll send in the "green helmets" and just nation build our way to global security. The liberals want to do it through the United Nations; they want to send in the "blue helmets" — which we pay for.

This doesn't work. I don't want to nation build. I don't want a global government or military force.

And for all the Don Rumsfelds out there watching who are cursing me out right now because they think no time is a good time to cut defense spending. Well, maybe this will help. This chart shows who accounts for all military spending in the world.

Almost half of all military spending in the world — 47 percent — is America. The next biggest spender is Europe — that's not even a country, they spent $289 billion on military-related expenses. We almost spent that much outside our country for our own defense!

So don't tell me we can't afford to cut back. Clearly we can.

And here's a libertarian explaining why Beck is miles apart from the FOX cabal on foreign policy.

Glenn Beck on why the two-party system is a complete sham (he rips apart Republicans in this one):

YouTube - Common Sense, 5, Part 1, The Cancer of Progressivism.wmv

Beck has compared modern-day Republicans to Nazis and fascists. (!) Even Napolitano and Stossel haven't been brave enough to do that.

Beck has mocked some of his FOX News colleagues for acting like "the gays are coming for us." (His words, not mine.) He thinks flag-burning should be legal. He's against the War on Drugs. And, in an interview with Katie Couric, he expressed the opinion that America would have been worse off under McCain than under Obama.

Glenn Beck is not a partisan hack. At least as far I'm concerned.
