With the myriad enemies that America is facing in this tumultuous age of terrorism, leave it to Glenn Beck to investigate and unveil one of the most dastardly schemes ever perpetrated on our unsuspecting nation. Only someone with the delusional paranoia of Beck could have discovered this lurking danger. Thank God for Beck’s dementia, for without it we would all be doomed.
Beck: Before the 1960s, these were the shows on television. This was Father Knows Best. Can you even imagine a show named that? This is My Three Sons. Ward Cleaver, Leave It To Beaver. The role of father was strong, but now — I mean, I hate to be my grandfather and say, “We didn’t even have Rice Krispies back then” — but look at the difference.
This was before these guys [the Weather Underground] showed up. Now look at our culture. [The Simpsons] is the funniest show ever written on television. I love this show. But dad’s a schlub.
That’s right! The Weather Underground conspired to turn dads into schlubs. Never mind the fact that on programs like Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver the dad, just as likely as not, was portrayed as dense or over-reacting to some family crisis. He was frequently bailed out by the mom or some innocent revelation of the child. And set aside Beck’s inability to come up with program names that reflect the strength (i.e. dominance) of the father figure, like maybe King of Queens or My Wife and Kids.
All of that is just a distraction from the hidden truth of the Weather Underground’s blueprint for destroying the family unit and demeaning fatherhood. For half a century this cabal has laid dormant, waiting for an opportunity to pounce. At the center of this sleeper cell is the craven visage of Homer Simpson, a villain thrust upon us by the execrable Rupert Murdoch and Fox. Thanks to Beck we can now see that this deceptively lovable goofball is actually a treacherously effective functionary of a secular-socialist revolution that aims to impose a brutal dictatorship and enslave us all.
However, Comrade Homer didn’t count on Beck exposing his plan. And now that the veil has been lifted, there is still time resist the looming tyranny. So rise up America. Rise up and cast off the shackles that Homer and his legion of Marxists would bind unto you. Reject tyranny. Reject Fox and Murdoch. Live free or eat my shorts!
Glenn sure has that right-wing “stern father” model workin’. But let’s back up a second: the Weather Underground????? Really, Glenn??? Let’s see…the “New Black Panther Party” has maybe about half a dozen members, so I’m guessing the (apparently original) Weather Underground members are suffering from arthritic hips, digestion issues and are hoping their hearing aid batteries hold out until the end of The Daily Show. That sure is some smart figgerin’, Glenn Boy. Kinda makes you one-a them pointy-headed intalekshuals, don’t it?
D’oh! The secret’s out, everyone raise your 4 digited hands to the sky! Mmmm, revolution, aghghghg.
I feel extremely sorry for Glenn Beck. Dude needs some serious mental help. Seriously.
You had WAY too much fun writing that post.
Guilty.
and Lucy babbled “yes, sir” when Ricky laid down the law. For what it’s worth, my mom hated housewife culture during the 50s.
Why doesn’t he attack Sesame Street for that new chicken muppet “Glenn Peck”? And who can forget how angry Mr. Anderson got when Bud didn’t put the tools away. It scared me for life.
