14. We are being inundated with this shit in my blue area. Nearly gagged at my supermarket...

They had copies of batshit Glenn Beck's newest book:

Miracles and Massacres: True and Untold Stories of the Making of America

I left the book aisle in disgust but here is the Amazon page, andhow they are remaking the American mind:

“Glenn’s story-telling in Miracles and Massacres is moving, provocative, and masterful. Each chapter reads like a non-fiction novelette. The book shows how the good, the bad, and the ugly of American history should be narrated: vividly and unflinchingly. These true-life tales also serve as stand-alone study guides -- inviting further discussion, debate, and action. It’s perfect for homeschoolers, classical educators, and history buffs of all ages. I can guarantee you two things: 1) Once you pick up Miracles and Massacres, you won’t be able to put down; and 2) You won’t be able to read it just once!”~MICHELLE MALKIN

On another website, Beck's description says Tokyo Rose was a hero. Certainly people are looking for the unknown truths, but this guy isn't quite this brilliant. His schtick is mostly end time, racist, sexist and Bircher.

Yup, good old Glenn Beck U. We used to have books by Franken, Moore, et al; now it's magazines boosting the AR-15 crowd, Tea Partiers, O'Reilly, Limbaugh, Beck, Savage, and others. The big money is going into overdrive.

They have their own culture being created, Ditthoheads, the Patriots and stuff. It's now infecting all areas, which is why I tell people not to laugh or look down at the South, it's coming to an area near you.

I think of Joe Barton, Beck's business partner and his pitiful book that has been proven so far off the mark, and fear for the future of America and the world. Carl Sagan saw this coming.

They are actively calling for the end of public educationl. This is not the case in my area at all; but they still passed a charter school initiative. They keep churning this stuff out, it's like a cultural avalanche. They shut down progressive radio and crewed with the net.

Oh, don't listen to me, I can just see this happening in slow motion and going faster and it gets to me, really it does.
