Dear Mr. Politician, yes or no:

1. I believe in a balanced budget and therefore will vote for a freeze in government spending until that goal is realized.

2. I believe government should not increase the financial burden on its citizenry during difficult economic times therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded.

3. I believe more than four decades of U.S. dependence on foreign oil is a travesty therefore I will support an energy plan that calls for immediately increasing usage of all domestic resources including nuclear energy, natural gas, and coal as necessary.

4. I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points so we will know who is entering and why and I will vehemently oppose any measure giving another country, the United Nations, or any other entity, power over U.S. citizens.

5. I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on earth and therefore will not apologize for policies or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on the planet.

If your politician doesn't believe, support or reflect these beliefs in their actions (not the little words they say), then they aren't supporting you. More importantly, they aren't supporting, protecting or defending the Constitution and it's time to vote the bums out.

12. Not really but the idea that Rush & Glen Beck pretend to lecture the man ...
.... who finished top of his class @ Harvard Law (Obama) is kinda over the top.

Is less a matter of personal history than it is personal character.

(How weird -- the YouTube embed shows up in my post but not in the edit window. And I didn't put it there!)

6. Delusions of grandeur.
Edited on Fri Aug-28-09 06:42 PM by AtheistCrusader
Quell surprise that Beck and Friends didn't propose this sort of thing in say... 2004.


Edit: Oh hell, spelling.

8. How 'bout a little "In AND Out," Glenn?
You bend over, grab your ankles and squeal like the little piggy you are.

I'll bring your favorite rake handle.

11. Hey, Pod-Sleeper, is it lonely in your mom's basement?
Poor you, laying all fat and sweaty on your bare, stained mattress as you stare, slack-jawed, at Glenn Beck on a 13-inch b&w tube covered with your own juices.

Edited on Fri Aug-28-09 06:58 PM by Barrymores Ghost
And still has all of his advertisers, too.

So, you're done humping your pillow already? I hope your mom has the dog kept safe upstairs.

14. Producing the Glenn Beck show must be much like producing SNL . . .
The writers spend a lot of time in caffiene- and smoke-fueled frenzies trying to figure out the craziest possible thing they can do each week. Except that SNL's audience is sentient and Beck's audience, not so much.

17. I believe...
It's going to be extremely satisfying when Glen caps himself or drops dead when his head explodes from one of those vessels throbbing on his forehead on live television in his giant empty underground bunker...

RAW

29. Hey fuck face
concerning this one: 2. I believe government should not increase the financial burden on its citizenry during difficult economic times therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded.


Were you a-ok with your boy Beck praising Bush for CUTTING the taxes of the ultra rich and leaving the little man to continue to struggle? Fuck you and your Beck loving little ass.

Is your name Chuck Norris by any chance?

31. He has really gone crazy.
He takes the most simplistic elementary school level beliefs and twist them with an extra dose of crazy. Even western movies aren't as black and white as his world view is.

32. So much for all the international tourism
that supports our local economy.

"4. I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points "

This is pretty much beyond stupid.

36. beck is so wrong

It's just too hard to try and explain why to people who clearly have the intellect of sarah palin, who believes that the first amendment protects her right to lie without rebuttal. she believes the troops are fighting for her first amendment rights right now! How sad! there aren't words to even respond to such ignorance.

Such lack of understanding about our government and the foundation of this country is pathetic.

Never argue with someone who is less than half as smart as you are, because they'll never get it.

40. Hah good question. I'm sure the answer is no.
It's nearly impossible to reason with anyone who can handle more than two minutes of Beck without vomiting though. They should use your "Beck Tolerance Score" as a measure of dain-bramage :crazy:

41. questions about Beck's Questions
Before I send this "pledge" I need to ask beck a few questions about his questions

1. Does a budget freeze include the military?
2. So we can tax the rich like we used to since they are doing rather well?
3. So Beck, you support Obama's green jobs plan?
4. So we should withdraw from NAFTA and the WTO? Don't liberals want that too?
5. Isn't "My country, Right or Wrong" the same as "My Mother, Drunk or Sober"?

Me thinks Beck once again did not think this through.
