Read with Caution

If you read this carefully you will find that the overall theme of the Glenn Beck portion is stand down no matter what. He makes many good points but does not have a good grasp of all the issues he covers.
The demonizes militias in the introduction. The Constitution calls them necessary. The does not really understand what inflation is. He says that America has succeed because of freedom and capitalism with no mention of the blessings of God.
He thinks that the system that the founders adopted was to push candidates to the center. This is a symptom of the two party system not an intent of the founders the wanted many candidates and most were at the founding against parties at all. Term limits will not help without more parties either we would just be getting a new lessor of two evils. We need good candidates to step up and run.
He fails to identify both the Democrats and Republicans, the political right and the political left as being pro-New World Order. That they are both controlled by the Council on Foreign Relations.
He claims that the government has no powers that we the people do not have. OK. Who can I tax?
He does not think that there are or will be FEMA camps. There were no camps when they rounded up the Japanese Americans during WWII.
