It's Not "Democracy," It's Gawd's Punishment

No matter how we try, we can never forget the many times Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton introduced Walter Cronkite &/or Dan Rather to roaring audiences, because people like Texas Gov. Perry & other local political yokels are always rubbing our faces in it!

Perry, who declared Beck an honorary Texan to a deafening roar of approval from the audience, strongly expressed support for the grassroots and tea party movements.

Texas was built by free-thinking patriots, and it's time to let it be heard in Washington, Perry said. The tea party is about taking the country back, Perry said.

The governor described Beck as a national leader of a powerful group sending a message to the current administration and congress about Washington, D.C., how to control spending and Americans taking their country back.

"I consider myself proud to be in that army," Perry said in a short news conference before the town hall meeting.

From the Land Beyond Parody, Lampooning or Even Satire, Ladeez & Gemmen, Glenn Beck:

Mounting the stage, Beck criticized politicians in Washington who he called progressives and who he said simply change their words for things. The stimulus package is now the jobs bill in their rhetoric, Beck said, but vowed, "It's time that we stand for the truth. We will be silent no more. It's not violent, it's not racism, it's not sedition."

Beck told the crowd, "It is time to say things that need to be said -- the only way to solve our problems is if we fall to our knees and thank God for the blessings of this country."

Beck asked attendees to ponder questions such as "Do you believe this is God's land? Do you believe our constitution was divinely inspired? Why do you believe those things?"

Recalling history of how America was founded as well as biblical stories, Beck said the American flag is a symbol of God's freedom. Those who fought for the country through the years didn't fight and die so that people could go to the mall shopping, have Social Security or health care; they fought so that people could be free, Beck said.

The American seal as drawn up by Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson was a pillar of fire and the split Red Sea behind it for the Israelites to cross, Beck said.

"We must remember who we are. We must remember what brought us here. We must remember what protected us. We must remember these rights do not belong to us -- they come from God," Beck said. The crowd rose in unison to its feet applauding loudly and yelling.

If people don't know the history, "find it and tell your children," Beck urged the crowd. "If God is with us, who can possibly stand against us? The answer is no one."

The responsibility to get the country right for the sake of freedom, liberty, the land, the Constitution and ideas "is on our shoulders; it's eternal," Beck said.

"I don't know what is supposed to happen on this land. I have no idea what God has in store for these people, our children, our grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He just asks you to stand in place and that is our job - to stand where he wants us to stand."

Gawd, the Second A. D., wrangling the crowds. That's an Almighty worthy of the worship of fucking sheep.

Perhaps State Rep. Leo Berman, of Tyler, worships a gawd different than Beck's.

Berman told the crowd, "I believe that Barack Obama is God's punishment on us today, but in 2012, we are going to make Obama a one-term president."
