Sorry, I just can’t jump on the bandwagon here. Beck’s hit a chord, and, I have to admit, a lot of what he says makes sense. Do I believe the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are going to come galloping down Capitol Hill any day now? No. But I do see some really hard times ahead for our country. You simply can’t print a trillion dollars, inflate the national debt by trillions more and not have it eventually lead to massive inflation and threaten the collapse of the dollar. We are about to see changes in our daily lives that none of us would have believed possible just two years ago.

Glen is willing to air those thoughts that most of us push to the back of our minds because they seem so far-fetched. He does go over-the-top and lean a little too much to the Alex Jones/Ron Paul side of things. Paranoid? Maybe. Nuts, loony, kooky, extreme? Not really. Not yet, at least. I could definitely see him going that way though. Right now, though, he is getting people’s attention and turning heads and much of what he says is dead on. I can live with some of the out-there stuff (i.e. FEMA camps) because I hear this kind of stuff from people all the time, left and right, and I can research it and decide for myself. At least Beck actually debunked the FEMA camps, surely pissing off a whole lot of REAL nutcases (Alex Jones).

Take him with a grain of salt. I’ll take him any day over the likes of Coulter or Buchannan.
