Vermont Teddy Bear is getting ready for Mother&#8217;s Day weekend. Can you believe Mother&#8217;s Day week? By the way, Sarah and I were talking on Saturday and she didn&#8217;t believe me, or it was on Friday, and she didn&#8217;t believe me. <strong>And I said, Mother&#8217;s Day, it&#8217;s a scam. It&#8217;s a big business scam.<\/strong> And I said, I bet it was started by Woodrow Wilson.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p>That was the intro to the spot for Vermont Teddy Bears. They must be pleased with how their ad dollars are being spent. In the radio business, advertisers pay extra for on air testimonials by the program host. Vermont Teddy Bear is sure getting their money&#8217;s worth.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s face it&#8230;..The real reason Beck went off on this Mother&#8217;s Day sponsor is that these teddy bears come from the People&#8217;s Republic of Vermont. Beck considers Vermont a socialist mecca that should be cast out of the United States. It is, after all, the home state of the socialist Senator Bernie Sanders. And if that&#8217;s not bad enough, the teddy bear got it&#8217;s name from President Teddy Roosevelt. Beck thinks that Roosevelt and Wilson are progressives and that progressives are a cancer on America.<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/Pix\/Humor\/beck-blackboard-mothers-day.jpg\" alt=\"Glenn Beck Mothers Day Scam\" \/><\/center><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>These subversive plush toys have to be taught a lesson. We can no longer sit by idly while they debase our mothers and indoctrinate our children with their fluffy Marxist plots. Thank God Beck is on alert to protect us from the evil of stuffed animals and to warn us of the dastardly schemes of <em>&#8220;big businesses&#8221;<\/em> like the International Vermont Teddy Bear Syndicate that controls the world economy. As long as he&#8217;s keeping watch, we don&#8217;t have to worry that small voices like his and the tiny media shop he works for, Fox News, will fade away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have long anticipated the mental implosion of Glenn Beck.
