The end justifies the means&#8230;Saul Alinsky&#8230;collapse the system&#8230;kill babies. Beck employed every scare tactic he has used in the past year for this one subject in order to imply that these treehuggers would stop at nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Climate Change has been affirmed by hundreds of reputable scientists around the world. The evidence is voluminous. And the only opponents are those with political or business affiliations and other conflicts of interest. It is imperative that we alter our relationship with this planet if we hope to continue living on it. The reality of that perspective resulted in the production of some hard-hitting public service announcements in England that have sparked Beck&#8217;s outrage.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"306\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/v\/sSTLDel-G9k?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x2b405b&amp;color2=0x6b8ab6\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Whether or not these ads exceed the bounds of good taste is something people can decide for themselves. But Beck seems to be convinced that they represent a literal method of dealing with Climate Change deniers. He thinks the eco-terrorists are actually coming to blow you up. His fear of this leads him to castigate all environmentalists as murderous thugs whose extremism will necessarily result in atrocities.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>BECK:<\/strong> If you literally believe the world is doomed unless we act, then you&#8217;ve devalued humankind.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Really? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?page_id=1455\" target=\"_blank\">You mean like<\/a>&#8230;..<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I don\u2019t need to convince you that there are people intentionally destroying our country.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The rain is coming. I think you feel it in your gut. It is time to build an Ark. It is time to prepare yourself for some tough times.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;You&#8217;re gonna see a black and white world, man, that is nothing but destruction and ugly.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Please, please America, don&#8217;t debate, don&#8217;t compromise on these things. [&#8230;] They&#8217;re building a machine and they&#8217;re about to turn the darn thing on. You don&#8217;t compromise on your destruction.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Find the exit closest to you and prepare for a crash landing, because this plane is coming down, because the pilot is intentionally steering it into the trees. [&#8230;] They are taking you to a place to be slaughtered.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;It is the eve of destruction in America.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If we don&#8217;t face the truth right now, we&#8217;ll be dead in five years; this country can&#8217;t survive.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This is about man&#8217;s freedom. This is it, gang. If we fail here the world is plunged into global darkness.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>These are just a few examples of Glenn Beck expressing his demented view that the world is doomed unless we act. He very specifically declares that destruction is on the horizon and that we must not only act, but we must do so without compromise. Therefore, by his own definition, he is devaluing humankind. And it should also be noted that the video above is an allegorical tale, while Beck&#8217;s admonitions of doom are delivered with utter seriousness.<\/p>\n<p>The absurdity of Beck accusing others of fear mongering exposes a severe malfunction in his psychological profile. But to specifically criticize them for inventing doomsday scenarios of the very sort he has been mass producing for years goes beyond the scope of modern psychiatry to understand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In an epic rant about how progressives are plotting to engage in all manner of mischief if they don&#8217;t get what they want, Glenn Beck revealed something about himself that is far more enlightening than his routine delusional obsession with left-wing radicals.
