While I quite agree about cancer, I must take issue re Beck. My, my. Such a spurt of venom at the mere mention of the reformed alcoholic.

Glenn Beck satisfies the liberty-minded adult -- yet his thinking causes you to snarl. Am I to figure that you are neither liberty-minded nor adult? For if you were at least liberty-minded, you'd like him, and not on my say-so.

Glenn's opposition seems to come from that quarter that pursues the aggrandizement of the State at a cost to the individual, that works to inflate the dollar, that thinks government-issue health care is the only health care (a simplistic notion if ever there was), that is going to jack your income taxes by a fifth... in short, those people who are out to destroy everybody's quality of life, yours included. These are people locked in a bitter hatred of worth and of life, and they are a sorry lot. They'd piss off a New Black Panther.

Glenn Beck is truly down with capitalism, which is another way of saying he has a close connection with the stuff and breath of life itself. All of capitalism's rivals are ripoffs, shucks, and inferiorities.

Now aren't you glad you know more about it than you did this morning?

So if you don't like Beck you don't like liberty?

If you truly like liberty, why wouldn't you like Beck? He speaks very powerfully for liberty, as you should know -- but you imply that you doubt.

I prefer liberty to all other social conditions, as you know. Beck does too. The enlightened thinkers know he does -- having experience of the man. The not-enlightened cannot believe it. The Socialists have to choose between believing it and remaining socialists. Since remaining socialist is an unworthy and blood-tainted goal anyway...

Because Beck only proposes liberty for those he support his opinions and version of "liberty". Beck is a hate and fear mongering tool who pictures himself as the savior of the right.

He also is a scam artist. All you have to do is check out the gold company he tells his listeners to invest in to see they are nothing more than thieves who pay Beck and sucker in more victims.

Ezra Pound was a crazy anti-Semite.

Oh, and he was crazy.

UG is funny.

footfootfoot · 11-02-2010, 03:39 PM

MY late FIL was a friend of Pound's. There is a lot of family lore about Pound and how crazy he was. Hadn't heard he was an anti-semite though. I'll have to ask my wife about that. Knowing my late FIL though, I'd be surprised if it were true.

Oh and I voted, despite the relative pointlessness of it.

Clodfobble · 11-02-2010, 05:08 PM

We had like 16 races to vote in! Railroad Commissioner, Agricultural Commissioner, a whole slew of judges, all kinds of crazy shit.

morethanpretty · 11-02-2010, 05:50 PM

I voted despite the utter pointless of it. For 2 pages of positions the only choice was Rep, made me sick. Not even a write in option, I thought there was always supposed to be a write in option.

Clodfobble · 11-02-2010, 07:12 PM

Oddly enough, I think at the state level you have to jump through some hoops to be an "officially allowed" write-in candidate. I was provided with a list of people I could write in, in the one or two races that allowed one.

kerosene · 11-02-2010, 07:48 PM

I voted, too. We had quite a few things to vote on. Some amendment stuff to lower taxes on vehicles (wouldn't that be nice?) and some properties. A senator and congress vote, several other stuff and about 20 judges. I was in and out in about 5 minutes. No harassers at the door. Hurray for living near a small town. Oh, and now, I presume the schmear fest on the radio should be over now, so I guess I can start listening to music again.

spudcon · 11-02-2010, 07:48 PM

Had a large array of offices to fill here. I voted for one democrat, and one republican. The rest were for people who were better choices.

wolf · 11-02-2010, 07:57 PM

Went around 2, had a nice chat with the sign-in ladies about A Christmas Story and Spaceballs, voted, out before I got blocked in by school busses ... which was a problem at the polling station. Instead of moving the bus loading area they blocked the entrance driveway to the polling area.
