[...] Here’s Newt Gingrich and Glenn Beck arguing for the largest exercise of eminent domain in American history: the government should “take” all of Lower Manhattan, and make it a battlefield memorial! While this would legitimize part of the Bush administration’s conception of the extent of war powers — the homeland is a battlefield for purposes of detention, but not when construing bans on torture — I thought national parks were a hallmark of socialism?

You know people are always talking about global warming not existing and it being a liberal agenda for personal. First of all that is the most absurd idea I have ever heard. That’s like if a political party starting pushing the idea that children should be vaccinated against viruses etc. and some scumbag started stating that they were just trying to make a buck. I think we can all agree that the world as a whole is an ecosystem. That ecosystem is affected by everything put into it since the the development of machines which produce exhaust and coal plants that produce harmful chemicals,and the million other processes that release harmful chemicals into the atmosphere we have been releasing an unmitigated and incaculable amount of chemicals into the atmosphere. So now someone has suggested that since the earth has existed for millions of years there’s no way we could be negatively impacting the earth. Well did you know that there used to be river dolphins in the Xang xi river in China that probably evolved for thousands of years and now they are extinct? Are you aware that the commercial tuna industry is becoming heavily regulated because the ruthless scum that run have brought tuna to near extinction. Please don’t use the absurd, laughable rational that what we create in terms of pollution could never destroy this planet is such a short period of time because it’s so resilient. There’s a 100,000 cars heading down the road any hour of the night, there are people using electricity every second of any given day, multiply that by a hundred years and you would have some understanding of the potential impact. Oh yeah I do also acknowledge that cars were not widely owned or used in say 1901 but there were still factories and the amount of exhaust they allowed to release into the atmosphere was not regualted.

I’d like to cross reference this review from my blog. Glenn Beck is not just a liar and a hypocrite. I found him with his “pants down.” Find out more at The Glenn Beck Review.

I read this book due to the buzz around Beck and as I suspected, this is just regurgitated stuff from his radio show. A lot of his reasoning is plain bizarre. The National parks were a bad idea? Good review – bullseye – this guy is a clown. Only problem is he ain’t going away as his popularity seems to be still rising.

No, I’m afraid I can’t tell you exactly the amount, but I can tell you that in a small community of just 10,000 people, I’ve come across approximately 50 people who choose to live off of government welfare handouts instead of working when they are fully capable of going to work. And that is just the ones I have come across. If you consider our country’s population of over 300 million, we’re looking at over 1.5 million people just like this.

And as far as your question about me being a “butt sitter” myself, I guess you might call me that if you consider someone who paid his own way through college to get a bachelor’s and master’s degree and who works an average of 70 hours a week a butt sitter, then yes I must be one. I’m just not the “butt sitter” who refuses to work, but instead just waits for the government to send me my next welfare check and food stamps.
