When and How Will it End?
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace of Independent Conservatism This is America. We are an English speaking nation. We have distinct and traditional American cultural values. We have some Americans in our population who have difficulty speaking a coherent sentence. We have many who cannot construct a complete and proper sentence. Yet we find the time and the money to educate youth in Arabic and Arabic culture. Mind you this is a Federal Grant program and limited to only five select school districts. At least for now. At a cost of 1.3 millions dollars students on these select district will be required, you heard {read} right, required as mandatory part of their curriculum to learn Arabic. This is a blatant abuse of taxpayer money, and it is indicative of the future course our nation has embarked upon under the fuzzy, misguided, and incredibly deceitful anti leade...
This is old news, but you are right. It bears repeating and repeating and repeating...
ReplyDeleteThat's why I posted this. Of course the hard core rightists will certainly ignore the truth of this. They are not interested in truth, only what they want to hear.
ReplyDeleteI watched from end to end. quite interesting. I long ago jumped off the Limbaugh and Hannity clown train, and I never was on the Beck train (one of the first things I learned about him was his lengthy rant calling for the murder of Michael Moore).
ReplyDeleteI do not recall the particular rant you refer to dmarks, but like all demagogues Beck demagogues it well.
ReplyDeleteBigger pictures, these charlatans bark for the highest bidder. There is a seemingly unlimited supply of dullards who hang in their every scripted word.
I don't think it is off topic, as Beck is one of the pictured stooges.

the transcript reflects the video I have seen.
Interesting link dmarks - thank you for providing it. What this shows, I think, is that Media Matters is a good site to go to for those seeking the truth. As I recall, someone on this board said that those who charge into a conversation saying "this is what I read on Media Matters" look every bit as foolish as those who say "I heard Rush say...". But they don't realize it. Obviously dmarks is with me in disagreeing with this sentiment.
DeleteIt depends on what they are doing. Any such site.... newsbusters, Media Matters, and indeed Rush, etc deserves extreme skepticism, especially in regards to editorials masked as news. Finding anything good in such sites can happen, but it is like finding diamonds in an Arkansas mud pit.
DeleteIn this case, I was familiar with what Beck said, and was thus able to fact check their specific transcript. And it turned out be valid.
What "someone on this board" supposedly said actually has nothing at all to do with Glenn Beck or the others in the actual topic.
Next time, I will just paste the actual transcript. Without mentioning the source. That will be less likely to cause irrelevant excitements.
