The fact that a head case like Beck is anybody says a lot about just how F'd this country is

How did so many psychos and losers find a voice? Is Fox to thank, or is it just the empire going belly-up?:shrug:

2. Agree. The guy is whacked.

He makes no sense to me.

3. Stupid people didn't use to have access to technology.

It's very user-friendly now.

user-friendly technology leveled or even distorted the playing field

5. Beck's notoriety is a symptom of a wide spread psychiatric disorder

that seems to be increasing in America. nt

6. The +90% Bush approval rating didn't do it for you?

More than 9 out of 10 people you see walking down the street is an imbecile.

Better get used to it.

8. Guess I blocked it out

wishful thinking I suppose...

7. I think it is the latter, the empire seems to be going belly-up.

While Beck is more than a little nutty at times, the empire that Beck rants about, is going belly-up.

Beck rightly attacks the transformation of the USA into an empire, but that's the easy part. How to fix things? I don't know exactly, but maybe the sane and supposed winners ought to start trying to figure a way out of this mess instead of leaving it to the losers.


Doubling down and making the empire ever larger does not make any sense to me, but that is the course we are on.
