The Glenn Beck rally is confusing people

I doubt a few(the ones in hiding mostly) on Ranchers will understand this, but most will get the jist.

The Glenn Beck rally is confusing people.

Why?

He is aiming far beyond what most people consider to be the goalposts.

Using Boyd’s continuum for war: Material, Intellectual, Moral.

Analogously for political change: Elections, Institutions, Culture.

Beck sees correctly that the Conservative movement had only limited success because it was good at level 1, for a while, weak on level 2, and barely touched level 3. Talk Radio and the Tea Party are level 3 phenomena, popular outbreaks, which are blowing back into politics.

Someone who asks what the rally has to do with the 2010 election is missing the point.

Beck is building solidarity and cultural confidence in America, its Constitution, its military heritage, its freedom. This is a vision that is despised by the people who have long held the commanding heights of the culture. But is obviously alive and kicking.

Beck is creating positive themes of unity and patriotism and freedom and independence which are above mere political or policy choices, but not irrelevant to them. Political and policy choices rest on a foundation of philosophy, culture, self-image, ideals, religion. Change the foundation, and the rest will flow from that. Defeat the enemy on that plane, and any merely tactical defeat will always be reversible.

Beck is unabashed that God can be invoked in public places by citizens, who vote and assemble and speak and freely exercise their religion. They are supposed to be too browbeaten to do this. Gathering hundreds of thousands of them to peaceably assemble shows they are not. But showing that the people who believe in God and practice their religion are fellow-citizens who share political and economic values with majorities of Americans is a critical step. The idea that these people are an American Taliban is laughable, but showing that fact to the world — and to potential political allies who are not religious — is critical.

Beck is attacking the enemy at the foundations of their power, their claim to race as a permanent trump card, their claim to the Civil Rights movement as a permanent model to constantly be transforming a perpetually unjust society.

He is nuking out the foundations of the opposition’s moral preeminence, the very thing I proposed in this post.

Ronald Reagan said we would not defeat Communism, we would transcend it.

Beck is aiming to have America do the same thing to its decaying class of Overlords, transcend them.

Beck is prepping the battlefield for a generation-long battle.

He is that very American thing: A practical visionary.

See, simple.

Restore pride and confidence to your own side, and win the long game.

As Ronald Reagan also said, there are simple solutions, just no easy solutions.

God bless America.

what is hard to fathom is the truth, and how it is portrayed...

for those that "witnessed" the rally firsthand.. the truth seems obvious..

for those professionals who reported on the rally.... they seem to have come up with a distorted opinion they want to pass on to the people as fact..

Glenn bothers me. I'm not a fan of his even though I like most of his ideas.

I can't say I am a fan of his either.. (I liked him more before he started crying, after his brush with death?) I think his show has too many commercials, and he drags a point out way to much..

I would rather read what he said.. in a summery... but he is good at explaining issues in depth.. and I have learned alot from his commentary. (especially on historical issues)..

the rally was good the speeches and speakers were good and he made alot of great points..

Something about the guy I do not like either. Probably just a little to goofy and dramatic for me. I probably would agree with most of all he has to say from what little I have seen. I do record him time to time and fast forward. He gets into some interesting facts that others never bring up. Kind of like a Black man being the first person to own a slave in the U.S.
