Fox Noise: Glenn Beck s. Volunteerism

Watch this and someone please tell me what his point is because it sounds to me like he is asking stupid questions just to ask them.  Either that or he legitimately doesn't like volunteerism.



From what I can tell his point is that Obama is trying to force volunteerism.  Because he couldn't possibly be suggesting that it is bad for the President of the United States to promote volunteerism.  Well, no one is actually saying we should force volunteerism, just that it is good and we should partner with anyone who will partner with us regardless of their political persuasion.

Then I thought, wait, is he saying we have enough volunteers already?  no, he couldn't be saying that, because I can't imagine someone saying that more volunteers would be a bad thing.  We could always use more people doing good work.  Isn't that what the church preaches too?

Then I thought, wait, is he suggesting that we should leave it to churches to promote volunteerism?  well no, he couldn't be saying that because it would also seem to suggest that they are the ONLY ones who can support volunteerism.  and if he believed that then he should have a problem with a LOT of other organizations in this country, not just the President.

So, I'm still a little lost as to what his point actually is, and all I get from this is that he was looking for an excuse to compare Obama to Mao, because that's what he does.  He manufactures fear and ignorance to help the Republicans who own his soul (assuming he hasn't already sold it to something else in red).

Once again Glenn Beck proves why even the most radical of right-wing extremists will still distance themselves from him, because he's a little crazy.

Common Sense
