Glenn Beck Is Right

On a day President Obama surprised a lot of Conservatives by coming out (if the sentenced stopped there that really would be big news) against the proposed re-instatement of the Fairness Doctrine, Glenn Beck’s new piece on NoxFews.com is epic-ly poignant. In essence he says – The Child knows what he’s doing, and like the schemes of a James Bond antagonist, his plans have quite a few layers to them.

Say what you will–this guy’s either a moron or a genius. After watching him bob and weave through the longest campaign season in our nation’s history, it’s clear that this guy knows all the right moves when it comes to imaging a message (or lack thereof). He might be new, but he’s obviously no dummy. So I guess that rules out “moron”– leaving us with “genius.” But not a Reagan-style genius in tune with the hearts and mind of a nation. No, I’m thinking Obama’s more of a Bond villain-type genius.

He continues to get things right when he says…

It’s a variation on an old magician’s trick–misdirection. Keep the audience looking at the right hand so they don’t see what the left hand’s doing. Look at what President Obama has done in just a few weeks: He’s started to close the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, dropped the charges against the guy who bombed the USS Cole, just about moved the Census into the White House, and hooked us up with the #2 attorney general who stood up for child pornographers. Then…there’s TARP 2.0 and all the other clowns in Washington with scandals like Tim Geithner, Tom Daschle, Charlie Rangel and Chris Dodd.

While Mr. Obama has done things today and throughout his young administration that I do applaud, I can’t help agreeing with Beck. We cannot let these misdirecting actions lose focus on the fact that this gentleman’s ideology and plans will move us profoundly to the left of where we ought be.
