Glenn Beck is now a pacifist because "war is a progressive idea" and Hillary Clinton is basically Woodrow Wilson or something.

He's now finding that he can extend this thesis to other politicians. For example, we learn today that Mitt Romney was a progressive because he favored going to war. I bet all the radical left wingers in America are sad now that they didn't vote for noted progressive Curtis LeMay to become Vice President back in '68!

Alex Jones has cracked the code on this whole Syria thing. It's a devastating plot by the UN to use WMDs as an excuse to turn us into cavemen so they can turn themselves into cyborgs and fly around in their jetcopters.

quote:

On his Tuesday radio show, Jones said that efforts to have Syria place their chemical weapons under the control of the international community was a United Nations conspiracy to “come into any country they want, that has any type of weapons systems — and call them WMDs, and then dismantle that country’s infrastructure.”

...

“But it’s the globalists here running my life, that’s why they’re my front-and-center problem,” he said. “Because they are the biggest, most organized, eugenics-based, scientific dictatorship, trans-humanists at the top that plan the extinction of almost everybody and a new species to rise up or humans merged with machines.”

“That’s their religion, and no one’s discussing that,” Jones added. “Everyone is going to be deindustrialized, everyone is going to be put back into the Stone Age and controlled. And Obama and the globalists and the robber barons, they’re going to fly around in their jetcopters and their Air Forces Ones and their red carpets, like gods above us. And they’re going to get the life-extension technologies.”

To be fair to the UN and the globalists: that's a pretty loving awesome world domination plot.

Huh, my brother was talking about stuff like that a couple of weeks ago. The NWO's goal is to become immortal god-kings. They got people to seriously believe poo poo like that. I had never heard of Chemtrails before and thought it was a parody conspiracy theory when he brought it up but, there is really no limit to what conspiracy theorist will eat up.

He's not talking about Dick Cheney buying a new donor heart - he's talking about the nanomachines that will let you live forever. Or do the Illuminati use Natural Cures they don't want you to know? Maybe Helios didn't want to merge with Bob Page because it knew he never got any vaccinations.

Are the forest fires in the American West this summer the result of weather and negligent campers or Islamic Terrorists? Guess which of those two choices World Net Daily went with!

quote:

As WND reported in June, an expert on Islamic terrorism believes a wildfire that ravaged the outskirts of Colorado Springs, Colo., killing two people and destroying more than 500 homes, should be examined by terror investigators.

“One thing that my investigators have given me the authority to state is that they have all but ruled out natural causes as the cause of this fire,” said Sheriff Terry Maketa at the time. “I can’t really go any further on that, but I can say we are pretty confident it was not, for instance, a lightning strike.”

Well if the fire wasn't set by lightning how else could it have started? A hunter, hiker, or camper dropping a cigarette? Nah, probably the notorious Colorado Springs Al Qaeda cell.

War Nerd wrote a thing on this on how firestarting is shockingly underused and forgotten in modern irregular warfare. You could actually torch most of the West if you had a bunch of guys and a disastrously dry summer.

Jones seldom ever gets into who *really* runs the NWO but its basically Satan and his demons. Jones does a good job of covering it up, but at the end of the day he's pretty much a Southern Baptist fighting against the end times. Or at least that is what he will imply when he gets into the topic, which is rarely. I honestly think Jones, at least at this point, is just a full on con man and he knows it. Maybe he was semi-honest when he started out in his public access days, but those days are long gone.

Has there been any right-wing media outrage about the first lady advocating that we drink more water? Whether it's swapping out soda for plain water, or just drinking another glass or two daily, she's started a new "drink up" campaign in her national health focus. Given the typical GOP reaction to her health initiatives (eat healthy, exercise more, etc), I was expecting some juvenile contrarian rhetoric about how she's wrong, but haven't seen any yet. Has she finally found a health topic that's too sensible for the right to fight?
Are we going to see elevated rates of hospitalization for dehydration within Tea-Party groups?

The only coherent criticisms I've seen so far are those from environmentalists, and there's no way that right-wing media figures are going to take an environmental angle outside of implying she's a hypocrite for being ostensibly anti-pollution but not explicitly anti-retail-waterbottles.

I saw a few articles yesterday about it, and they were reddit sperglord extreme about the wording. I really don't want to find it, but one of the arguments was, "The claim that you'll have more energy through drinking a glass of water is a blatant falsehood because water contains 0 calories; therefore, I AM AN INSUFFERABLE DOUCHEBAG THAT NEVER GETS INVITED OUT TO ANYTHING NEVER EVER BECAUSE I'M A PEDANTIC ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
