Glenn Beck Just Doesn’t Quite Get It….Yet
Glenn Beck seems to be making somewhat of a concession that he may have been mistaken about the Libertarian Movement and is willing to learn more about it. I appreciate that he is willing to admit that he may have been wrong about libertarianism and it’s ideas but he should learn to take a different tone, especially considering his and other, so called, conservative talking heads’, continual bashing of Ron Paul and his supporters, most of whom are libertarians.
He doesn’t seem to understand the lack of trust libertarians have when it comes to those of his ilk. It would go a long way, I’d imagine, if he offered a sincere apology for misjudging libertarianism and those that purport libertarian ideals many of which, as he points out, he happens to agree with.
He and many others across the country make judgments without doing their due diligence. The irony here is that even while he’s touting his support of Ron Paul’s son, Senator Rand Paul, he makes another judgment about something of which he is ignorant. He made a comment about “Anarchy”. Many libertarians support Anarcho-Capitalism. He thinks it’s just crazy but once again he doth err just as he did in the past when passing judgment upon libertarianism. Open mouth insert foot Glenn!
Anarchy is not what most people think it is as it pertains to government and society. It is not chaos, as in ” there is anarchy in the streets!” That is a misuse of the term as it pertains to political Anarchism. Don’t allow media, misinformation and a biased educational system do your thinking for you. Do your due diligence and look it up. Do some research Glenn and the rest of you who think you know everything. Here is a good place to start: What It Means To Be an Anarcho-Capitalist
Glenn makes several accusations about libertarians. He accuses them of not thinking for themselves and just following Ron Paul, like little robots. He accuses them of being know-it-alls while making yet another bone-headed statement about Anarchy, not having a clue what it means. He admits he has made mistakes ( and he just keeps on making them ) and has had to change his views and yet he continues the hypocrisy. I think he’s a slow learner. Non the less I do think he’s getting there and I hope he does.
He does say some good things. He’s definitely, in my opinion, getting closer to the truth than most of his media peers. Ann Coulter doesn’t have a clue which, is actually how this video starts… Glenn Beck talking about Ann Coulter verses Libertarians…
