Glenn Beck hit it right on the head today. Yesterday’s vote was touted as such a historic vote, that Nancy & Co. locked arms and walked down the street to compare the passage of the Senate bill to victories in the civil rights movement. Are you kidding us, Nancy? REALLY?
We must remember our truly historic moments; ones that really counted. The historic moment that happened this weekend was historic allright; historically corrupt. It just proved that Congress really doesn’t listen to their bosses – We the People. It’s not time to give up; in fact, it’s time to hunker down and prepare for the battles ahead.
Oh, yeah, and she does all this while celebrating the passage of this monstrosity of a healthcare reform bill tonight. PLEASE God, I pray that someone runs against her in San Francisco and BEATS her! She needs to be removed from office, one way or the other.
Our Founding Fathers are spinning in their graves tonight at the very mention of their names by this wretched excuse for a human being.
Of the people, by the people and for the people? Are you kidding me, Nancy? Seriously? SERIOUSLY?
Wow… just wow. Glenn introduced us to a fabulous new ‘social’ group today. They are all members of The Brecht Forum. Who are they you ask? The Brecht Forum website offers several neat-o commie options, touting the New York Marxist School. Amazing. Simply. Amazing. On their “About Us” page? Here’s the ‘fun’ stuff:
The BRECHT FORUM is a place for people who are working for social justice, equality and a new culture that puts human needs first. Through its programs and events, the Brecht Forum brings people together across social and cultural boundaries and artistic and academic disciplines to promote critical analysis, creative thinking, collaborative projects and networking in an independent community-level environment.
Jed Brandt, apparently a member of this communist group, goes on to tell us how he really feels about Capitalism and the United States of America.
Oh yeah… they’re going to TAKE our insurance companies, TAKE all the farms, and they will also SHUT DOWN the military apparatus of this country! (That last one will be real fun to watch. EPIC. FAIL.)
When people attempt to resolve the problems that plague everyday life and even threaten survival on this planet, from poverty, disease, discrimination and alienation to war, economic crisis and environmental devastation, they come face to face with difficult questions: Can society be changed significantly for the better? What kind of changes would be needed? and, Who could bring about such changes?
Questions like these are what motivated Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels to develop a method for studying the dynamics of change in societies.
In 1975, a group of civil rights, community, labor, and student activists came together to found the Brecht Forum’s New York Marxist School. They saw the study of marxism as central, not as a dogma but as a living current of thought and as a vital tool for understanding capitalist society. They believed that the study of our reality, an informed public, clear-headed reflection on our actions, and an open, and inclusive space for the exchange of experience and discussion and debate of ideas are all essential to the kind of movement we need if we want to create a better world..
Their collective vision combined with their commitment to the struggle for social transformation led them to develop a vital, non-sectarian institution that could offer serious study and discussion of social and political issues in a non-academic, community-level setting.
And according to their YouTube Channel:
The BRECHT FORUM is a place for people who are working for social justice, equality and a new culture that puts human needs first. Through its programs and events, the Brecht Forum brings people together across social and cultural boundaries and artistic and academic disciplines to promote critical analysis, creative thinking, collaborative projects and networking in an independent community-level environment.
Sounds like a SUPER fun group of folks to hang around with, doesn’t it? I’m going to have to do some more digging into this Jed Brandt character. Stay tuned, folks.
I’ve upgraded to Windows 7, LiveLeak has also apparently upgraded their video players and embedding code (which is royally screwed up), and Win7 Movie Maker has thrown me a huge learning curve. Please “pardon our mess” as I try to get things up and running, with all the upgrades/updates and the changes I’m having to learn. I apologize for any inconvenience. I hope you don’t forget my site, and please come back as often as you can. Once I am up-to-speed on all the upgrades, I promise this site will be more active and timely.
For the previous post (regarding Pelosi’s views on the Tea Party) among others, please visit my LiveLeak page here to see the videos without error.
I agree with Mediaite’s post about this – possibly the best 15+ minutes of Glenn Beck EVAH! I had already culled the video, was waiting to edit & post it, but I’m going to h/t Mediaite and post their video for your viewing pleasure. It’s much better quality than mine was anyway.
Watch and enjoy, watch-and-enjoyers. This was true LOL pure Glenn.
Welcome
