glenn beckster

o beautiful for heroes proved
in liberating strife.
who more than self their country loved
and mercy more than life!
america! america!
may God thy gold refine
till all success be nobleness
and every gain divine! 

during a study break today i decided to watch the glenn beck show. lol. i know right? i just figured it would be a good cultural experience. he hasn't done anything super crazy yet. instead, he quoted the above verse of america the beautiful and asserted that these are the sort of americans we need today. i agree, in a way, though probably in a different way than he means it.

ok now he just said he likes to make styrofoam bonfires. that is a little crazy. and i wish he wouldn't act so polarizing. but i guess that's just the thing they (political talk show hosts) do. and i must say, his audience looks bored to death.
