Beck on the "Me" Generation, Politcal Correctness, and Our Future
***ATTN: BECK HATERS - IF YOU ARE SO INCLINED TO HATE BECK WITHOUT HEARING HIM, THEN PLEASE SKIP THIS VIDEO.***
I've purposefully captured the majority of this video from Beck's show today because other liberal sites are already selectively pulling out the "generation of would-be killers" segment. I want you to see/hear Beck's argument en toto so you know the context.
I agree with Beck
More.. that we've raised a generation of whiner cry-babies who think they have everything coming to them, without any question or merit. Should we choose to continue down this path, our future generations will be unable to provide for themselves or their children, much less their aging parents should that be an issue for them.
Exit question/request for Beck-haters: Can you please refute one piece of Glenn's stance on this issue????? I, too, want a simpler explanation to a question that sadly I know all-to-clearly has no simple response. I was brought up in the age of consequences for my actions, and I never received awards nor accolades that I did not earn or deserve. That's what's wrong with this new generation growing up today; dare I say the "Obama voters" we all know too well.
I am in my own personal position because of decisions I made in my life, so why should the new generation of folks be expecting anything different? The time for blaming others is over. You have to take responsibility for your behaviors, while also accepting praise for your successes should that be the case. You succeed because of YOUR actions; not because of the actions of the community.
The sooner folks realize that we as individuals are solely responsible for our futures, the better off we will be as a nation. Otherwise, Americans will constantly look to the Nanny State government to bottle-feed them, send them to school, and wipe their asses when they make a mess.
Gen-Xers crying because they can't get the salary they think they deserve on an entry-level job. Cry me a freakin river and get in line with the rest of the competitive market of job-seekers. Nobody owes you a job, and jobs don't belong to you, so this crap about "our jobs are going overseas" is bull$hit. They're not your jobs in the first place; they are jobs a company has to GIVE you in exchange for your talents.
Don't have the talents for that job? Not a problem then. I'll see you at McDonald's next week....as I pick up my Big Mac meal combo - and you'll like it or go on the public dole. Either way, you're a parasite. You're not owed anything, and you won't get any sympathy from me.
Would you like fries with that? Less..

Beck's a clown. He's right , he's dangerous.
He only cares about himself and his $50 million a year contact.
Lol, good job you're last! Here's a trophy...aww, that's rich.
He's a divisive fool that pits ageism, racism, classism...whatever 'ism' he can say, or sometimes spell. lol.
Older people like , hmmmm lets see, McCain and the internet and his lack of comprehension. Why not sign a bill against Net Neutrality, it's only a vote for Big Telecommunication like AT&T or Verizon.
Is Beck's diatribe of rhetoric about Wall Street? because he sure sounds like he's talking about greedy bastards who think they're entitled to hard working Americans money. You know the guys who write themselves checks for $18 million out of bailout money.
Oh noes, no healthcare for you...cry cry. ****, Beck is such a tool!
It's called 'reform' for a reason. Reform, like the words meaning, to improve the form or condition. I'd say Health care has been overdue for this for 30 years, I think Beck should review his older videos. You know the ones with him *****ing about his hemorrhoid surgery and how it went all wrong for him.
Cry a little croc tear for this loser. pfft.
How many things can you get wrong in one show? man...

@blackrabbit66 & WEEDBENDER,
You guys are quick to shovel the responsibility of your dissatisfaction to me. I'm clear on the fact you are eating this tripe up, like sow feed. The truth of the matter is you could care less about No Bid Contracts, 30 Republicans signing a bill that protect KBR from legal action in support of 'arbitration'. You WANT big telecomm and Exec's to take your money, like some brainwashed drones.
I feel for you guys, all you know how to do is attack people, that's what you're good at.
You see the difference here is, I'm just an American, like you. I don't make $50 million a year like Beck. I have a stake in the future because that's what I work for. I care about my community and my country. I don't even mind that you guys are haters. You're entitled to think I'm wacky, That's LL for ya....and freedom of speech for that matter.
I just get disheartened by Beck and his aimless ranting, he pretends to care, but doles out little morsels just to get you fired up. Then he shifts the blame and moves on.
(also Weedbender...I'm gathering you meant 'but' right? )

We already have death panels in the US, they're called pre-existing conditions and kill thousands of Americans each year. Try again Beck.

FOX-CNN-MSNBC and any other major news network anchor, makes what Beck does. That's standard scale for them.
Not picking a fight here, but I thought he had some interesting points. So besides the fact that he has a good job, you don't agree with anything he said?

Our elder generation was made promises too. It's just great that when you get to the end, the part where your supposed be be able to relax a little. your screwed. I'm thankful my Grandparents "GRTS" got to retire and pass on with dignity.

You definitely have a point, I have felt lackluster about American News in a broad way. I do take into consideration that we're experiencing high levels of social change, I think it could be said broadly that at this point it's part of the human condition, and not exclusive to one nation.
Print journalism is clearly on the decline, the internet has taken the lead as a media form for delivering information.
You're right about many news anchor's receiving ludicrous sums of money for relaying information that is factually inaccurate. By driving their shows on add dollars and stockholders they have all lost the meaning of supplying us with 'news' as it was meant to be used.
I personally think the pitting of one group against another in the media is like listening to right of center argue with far right. All the money on the major networks are funded by huge corporations with plenty to lose should the tables turn.
It's not going to matter though, things are changing and we'll have to adapt, that is inevitable.
We'll have to identify with our neighbors and our community (or virtual community), as scary as that may be, they might just save your ass.
You wouldn't think that hanging around Liveleak, but if you can't rely on your community what exactly do you have?

Hilarious how Liveleak Liberal Tards take talking points directly from Keith Olbermann, Rachael Maddow, and Whitehouse press corp, attack Glenn Beck with them, then act like they had an orginal thought. Once again, attacking the person, and not his message. But of course, how could they attack the message? It's moral, non PC, inconvenient TRUTHS, conservative, logical, strategic, and anti statism. Everything liberals are not.

It's one of them infrequent times that I largely agree with what a Fox commentator has to say. Up until the point where he starts playing an angry guy, and tie it all into an anti-Obama thing.
The problem is much more profound than democrats vs republicans, and won't be solved by GOP any better than by the current administration. Quite the contrary, probably - in a crisis, attempts to hold on to the status quo are never the right strategy - it's the status quo that got you to the fault line to begin with.
