Reco, in regards to your comment, I think the agenda is no agenda at all but to value the principles that this country was founded on , not policies being made. I think the reason that the people at FOX including Beck are being allowed to promote issues like they do is market driven. The more people climbing on board because they are interested in what they are hearing, the more free reins are being given. I caught Beck on the radio a few times a few years back and he's the same way on TV as well. My personal opinion is that Beck is a an american that loves this country, what it stands for , and has a deep desire to educate us like no other stations would dare to do. For his kids, your kids and all of our future. Remember Ross Perot, he showed us the charts, he made his point , remember the words giant sucking sound. Today they announced in michigan that they expect the unemployment rate here by the end of the year to hit 17-20%.

Principles is what the tea parties were about, not policies that are taking us into the Obyss. Please read the following which is not anyway associated with FOX but stands for a reason of concern which I think Beck is ringing the bell.

By Tim Wood

I am a student of history. Professionally. I have written 15
books in six languages, and have studied it all my life. I
think there is something monumentally large afoot, and I do
not believe it is just a banking crisis, or a mortgage
crisis, or a credit crisis. Yes these exist, but they are
merely single facets on a very large gemstone that is only
now coming into sharper focus.

Something of historic proportions is happening. I can sense
it because I know how it feels, smells, what it looks like,
and how people react to it. Yes, a perfect storm may be
brewing, but there is something happening within our country
that has been evolving for about ten - fifteen years. The
pace has dramatically quickened in the past two.

We demand and then codify into law the requirement that our
banks make massive loans to people we know they can never
pay back. Why?

We learn that the Federal Reserve, which has little or no
real oversight by anyone, has 'loaned' two trillion dollars
(that is $2,000,000,000,000) over the past few months, but
will not tell us to whom, or why, or disclose the terms.
That is our money. Yours and mine. And that is three times
the $700B we all argued about so strenuously just this past
September. Who has this money? Why do they have it? Why are
the terms unavailable to us? Who asked for it? Who
authorized it? I thought this was a government of 'we the
people', who loaned our powers to our elected leaders.
Apparently not..

We have spent two or more decades intentionally
de-industrializing our economy. Why? We have intentionally
dumbed down our schools, ignored our history, and we no
longer teach our founding documents, showing why we are
exceptional and why we are worth preserving. Students by and
large cannot write, think critically, read, or articulate.
Parents are not revolting, teachers are not picketing, and
school boards continue to back mediocrity. Why?

We have now established the precedent of protesting every
close election (now violently in California over a
proposition that is so 'controversial' that it wants
marriage to remain between one man and one woman!). Did you
ever think such a thing possible just a decade ago? We have
corrupted our sacred political process by allowing unelected
judges to write laws that radically change our way of life,
and then allow mainstream Marxist groups like ACORN and
others to turn our voting system into a banana republic. To
what purpose?

Now our mortgage industry is collapsing, housing prices are
in free fall, major industries are failing, our banking
system is on the verge of collapse, Social Security is
nearly bankrupt, as is Medicare and our entire government,
and our education system is worse than a joke. (I teach
college and know precisely what I am talking about.) The
list is staggering in its length, breadth, and depth. It is
potentially 1929 x ten. And we are at war with an enemy we
cannot name for fear of offending people of the same
religion, an enemy who cannot wait to slit the throats of
your children if they have the opportunity to do so.

Now we have elected President a man no one knows anything
about, who has never run so much as a Dairy Queen, let alone
a town as big as Wasilla , Alaska ... All of his associations
and alliances are with real radicals in their chosen fields
of employment, and everything we learn about him, drip by
drip, is unsettling, if not downright scary. Surely you have
heard him speak about his idea to create and fund a
'mandatory civilian defense force' stronger than our
military for use inside our borders. No? Oh, of course. The
media would never play that for you over and over, and then
demand he explain it. Sarah Palin's pregnant daughter and
$150,000 wardrobe is more important to the media.

Mr. Obama's winning platform can be boiled down to one word:
change. Why?

I have never been so afraid for my country and for my
children as I am now! This man campaigned on bringing people
together, something he has never, ever done in his
professional life. In my assessment, Obama will divide us
along philosophical lines, push us apart, and then try to
realign the pieces into a new and different power structure.
Change is indeed coming. And when it comes, you will never
see the same nation again.

And that is only the beginning.

I thought I would never be able to experience what the
ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those
times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser
from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to
nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with
groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with
whom they disagreed. He edged his way onto the political
stage through great oratory and promises. Economic times
were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great
speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even
newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his
'brown shirts' would bully them into submission. And then,
he was duly elected to office as full-throttled economic
crisis was at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely
he seized the controls of government power,
department-by-department, person-by-person,
bureaucracy-by-bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement
in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did
he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to
the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the
military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the
children, advocating gun control, health care for all,
better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride
once again in their country, across Europe , and around the
world.

He did it with a compliant media. Did you know that? And he
did this all in the name of justice and ..... change. And
the people surely got what they voted for. (Look it up if
you think I am exaggerating.)

Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933 and
were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun
of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the
late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he
was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and
called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though.

Don't forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured
country in Europe . It was full of music, art, museums,
hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than
six years --- a shorter time span than just two terms of the
U. S. presidency --- it was rounding up its own citizens,
killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children
against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with
the best of intentions, of course. The road to
hell is paved with them.

As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional
decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the
objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me
cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting
to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope
I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and
ignoring what is transpiring around me.

Some people scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am
foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been
afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what
I believe, and why I believe it.

I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am.
