This is Glenn Beck

The Glenn Beck that I know and love shared this a while back:

America, I want to talk straight to you now.

There is a lot of bad news out there. Our economy is tanking and does not show signs of improving. People are losing their jobs 500 million a month according to Nancy Pelosi and there are more cuts on the way.

People around the world are taking to the streets. Our government responds to problem with "bailouts." When you reach out to them you get no response while Ponzi scheme crooks get away with millions and tax cheats get promotions.

Terrorists are on the run, and you just want to keep your family safe.

It is enough to make you want to just give up!

But I am here to tell you something important: You are not alone, and if you believe in a majority of these nine principles then keep watching because I am going to prove it to you to.

1. America is good place, not perfect, but good.

2. I believe in God and He is the center of my life.

3. I must try to be a better, more honest person than I was yesterday.

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority.

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and not a guarantee of equal results.

7. I work hard for what I have. I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree or share my personal opinion.

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them. They answer to me.

Please, if you agree with these principles then help me fight for them.

That doesn't sound crazy, does it?

Yes, Glenn Beck did call the President a racist.  I don't find anything wrong with that.  I think Beck was right.  The President is both a racist and an elitist.  No one who wasn't a racist himself could have listened to a racist preacher for 20 years without walking out in disgust.  Only someone who embraced those same thoughts and ideals could have sat and listened to the preaching and could have contributed to the church coffers.

The President's reaction, without knowing the facts, about his friend's arrest proved his racism, in my opinion.

Beck's show gave even more examples.  He quoted the President a few years ago when he said he was against reparations...because reparations could never go far enough or do enough for African-Americans.

Would Obama have the same thoughts about Native Americans?  Would he have the same thoughts about the treatment of early settlers here who were indentured slaves?  If so, I've never heard him speak of either situation.

People think that Glenn Beck's show has suffered because he called the President a racist.  But that is far from the truth.

Here's part of what NewsMax has to say about this:

Even before the liberal boycott of Glenn Beck began this summer, the best-selling author and TV host had became a ratings superstar, with his 5 p.m. cable news program pulling mega prime-time viewership numbers. Beck also had become a lightning rod for liberal groups who didn’t like his anti-Obama message and his staggeringly large audience.

But now Beck’s fame seems to be growing even more as a spontaneous, nationwide effort has sprung up among fans to defend their hero, including Web sites, Facebook groups, homegrown e-mail blasts, and individual telephone campaigns.

The reaction in support of Beck comes in the wake of the advertiser-boycott campaign launched by Color of Change, an African-American advocacy organization with close ties to the Obama White House.

Although the group garnered some success initially, it appears that it is making claims that don’t match reality, with several major companies claiming they never joined any boycott of Beck’s show.

Glenn Beck is not a bad guy.  He speaks for many Americans.  And he uncovers many things that other news media and news commentators never do.
