ajm: I agree Glen Beck is not a hater. He is a rodeo clown that is selling gold coins at the mall. What a guy. A true American. Beck is a snake oil salesman, he sells populism, racism, and any other ism that is hiding in the darkest corner of your core. He has a product and no matter how disruptive and devisive it may be, he has the right to sell it. In the eyes of a liberarian, that's not a bad thing. That's a patriotic business practice. It may even be considered to be a public service. Beck may fool all the people all the time and deceive you till you give him your money. It is his right to earn a living, that's what he does. It's all in the Constitution, somewhere. If it's not, a libertarian will claim it should be. The honor America Rally, is a circus performance to advance Beck's career and you will pay him for the privelege to participate. In return Beck will stroke the worst in you. That's all he really promises. Isn't that what all politicians do?

I guess his History Friday series is a claim to extent another ism. Is historyism a word that is hiding in the darkest corner of my core?

I guess his claim to do your own independent research, along with his recommended reading list is a product to be avoided.

Here is something to chew on. Check out the National Education Association (NEA) site of recommended reading.

I would have expected perhaps a list of periodicals, books and pamphlets that would assist educators on educating school children. But lo and behold, I see Saul Alinksy's "Reveille for Radicals" and "Rules for Radicals". How does that help educating children? I may have missed something in my review.

And here is their vision and mission:

I am confused, are professional educators best served by activism or development of public educated school children?

It is amazing what you find searching the internet for information.

Well you know me, I get all my information from a television clown. I miss Bozo, when I was younger, although I will admit Bozo was not as scary as Beck.

LOL
