Glenn Beck Is Done With America: 'I'm Really Considering Burning The Flag'
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Wednesday, 2/19/2014 4:35 pm

Whatever America once was and once stood for and once represented, Glenn Beck said on his radio program today, that it is all over ... and he really doesn't even care anymore if they just burn Washington, DC and all of its monuments to the ground.

"I will tell you this," he bellowed, "the country, the institution, what that flag, those buildings that the flag flies over, what the flag is becoming, what it means to the rest of the world, I DON'T KNOW! I don't care!"

No matter what happens though, Beck proclaimed that he was never going to change and would give his life in defense of the Constitution, if necessary.

"Shoot me in the head if you have to," he said, "you're not changing me."

Saying that he despises them, by which he means progressives who are responsible for everything that is wrong in the world, Beck said he is working on becoming entirely indifferent to them, so much so that "I don't really care" if they were to burn down the entire city of Washington, DC and the Capitol Building and the White House and all the monuments.

"I don't care," he shrugged. "I don't care. I'm not about the buildings, I'm not about the flag, I'll burn the flag every day. In fact, I'm really considering burning the flag. I may do a show really super soon where I burn the flag. And if you don't like it, then maybe you should figure out what the flag means."

While he vowed to defend the Constitution to his last breath, Beck said "I'll burn the flag every day of the week":

Beck is crying out for attention. The best thing to do is to ignore Glenn Beck.

He keeps saying that.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that's his choice of suicide.

Wonder how many of his fans have done that already.

Maybe He would like it there better. Of course, I wouldn't wish him on anyone... But he should leave...what's that old phrase?? "Love it or Leave it"? I would even help him pack his bags.

I do not know if Germany would have HIM if he was to travel to germany - they have after all - a lot of bad experiences with people like him, who like cheat and in the end make Germany a ruin - even though it is many decades since Dr Gobbles was on air - the collective experience have made Germany somewhat jitty when it come to thing like that... And they do not have any absolute 2 amendment in their constitution either...

I suspect Glen Beck is just airing his own desperation - and problem mental sickens to boot - and I suspect if he ever was to put on a shop in Germany - the authorities would have him committed to a mental institution for a long, hard evaluation before he might getting the right medication he surly are not given in the US... After all - Germany do have universal health care for everyone..

He would never have access to a Mic there. I am sure they have standards for being on the Radio over there. One..of course is speaking German. They may have other requirements as well.

Germans - and most of europe - have rather strict requirements for going on air - and if you do not follow it - you might end up, without a mic all together - A lot of the requirements goes back to the end of WW2 - some is even older, going back to when radio was new... And I doubt mr Beck would have been able to meet any of the requirements german law give - to be on radio at all...

And also - I doubt Beck would find so many supporters of his ideas as he have in the united states - to me it looks like Beck do have a sustainable group of supporters in the US - who even pay for his insanity on air..

He might also have to learn german - something that might be difficult but not to difficult to learn I suspect...

But, I'm pretty sure if he was to emigrate - and ended up in germany of all places - he would be called out in a way, he is not used to back in the states - and I also think he have to had a radio license - who could be revoked far more easy than he was given the license - because of Hate radio - who is what is have - hate radio for many groups..

Germany has the world's oldest national social health insurance system,[1] with origins dating back to Otto von Bismarck's social legislation, which included the Health Insurance Bill of 1883, Accident Insurance Bill of 1884, and Old Age and Disability Insurance Bill of 1889. As mandatory health insurance, it originally applied only to low-income workers and certain government employees, but has gradually expanded to cover the great majority of the population

There is no country in this world that accepts his way of life.. well maybe North Korea...but I am sure he has no knowledge of the Korean language.

Please wrap Ted Nugent up in the flag. Seems like he said a year ago, going on two now, that he'd be dead at this time.
I PREDICT - in less than a month, Glenn will be burning that flag. IT'S SHOWTIME FOLKS!!!!

Glenn needs to get out his needlework and create a new flag, something with wingnuts and assholes on it against a field of puke yellow.

He's so disconnected from reality. He's an embarrassment to the species. I think it is interesting that so many bought into his crap. He is a testament to ignorance.

right in with the conservative pugs. He's been married twice (oh the sanctity of it all), a recovering alcoholic and drug addict and no military service. What a P.O.S!
