to him. The snappy uniform. I think he studies them and then projects what he feels elsewhere so he can talk about them. Just imo, of course!

That is something lingering with me too. A deep seated strange feeling Glen Beck is not what he claims to be. Perhaps sort of like a character in Shelly’s poet sonnets.

Do a google and wiki you will get a wonderful history of a story in antiquity, Ozymandias was an alternative name for the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses II, or the masquerade of tyranny done by Shelly, illustrating the protagonist flipping personality with the antagonist condemning the Nazi, yet many get the intuitive warm feeling a psychological game is being played by Beck.

That royal attitude the dominance displayed in body language or rhetoric of empathy twisted with deception or descriptions that switch the mind to submit to tyranny. The Beck kingdom trying to condemn the government for making cartoons?

How about smoky the bear he is my favorite. Or the hound dog to take a bit out of crime.
