So look at what we have now. We an immense government that steals our income/tax dollars and gives it to banks. We have a government that wages war with nations that never attacked us. We have a government that has established a growing welfare sector of dependents, while moving towards bringing all the citizens of this country under its umbrella of control.

But I thought this wasn't what the dealio was about. It was about restoring honour, about faith, hope, and charity. Isn't charity about helping those in need? And considering the revolving-door structure of the majority of welfare, I don't see dependency being a problem. But how do you give those in need hope if they fall through the cracks of a capitalist society? How do you expect them to have faith if the system fails them?
The kernel at the core of Beck's purpose here is probably decent....but his agenda, his message, and his delivery, and now his follow-up, are at the very least questionable. What's he on about?
If it's not political, then what is it?
