Glen Beck really doesn't like Jewish people, apparently

there is that culture. Thing is, if you actually follow the letter of the law and enforce what's already there, the government has some pretty broad, sweeping powers to dissolve businesses and seize their assets if they aren't obeying their original charters or harming the community.

That authority is vestigial when the government is an extension of big business.

On the contrary, I love America (for more than fake outrage, country music, guns and people like Palin)

Hey, we could save this country in an instant if the house and senate could be duped into retroactively declaring war on Afghanistan and Iraq. Instant retroactive war tax and return of war profits, return of strategic industries to the US mainland and a good time for those that complain.

Obviously, you're joking.

But I still don't get that.

Explain how that works.

Trace $1000 through your proposition.

Certain laws and executive powers go into effect with a congressional declaration of war, namely the supervision of industries necessary to the war effort. Things like laws against war profiteering allowing the government to recoup a large chunk of its losses from contractors either by setting prices or issuing massive excessive profits taxes. The top tier income tax can also be raised significantly as a war tax and protesters branded as unamerican hoarders. Manufacturing firms can be forced to bring jobs back to the US as strategic wartime industries under the threat of the taking clause of the fifth amendment or even dissolution of corporate charters.

not to mention ending wars sooner by instituting unpopular policies such as the draft and rationing.

The only reason war hasn't been declared since the 50's is because there's a shit ton of money to be made by private industries and because the rich hate sacrificing for anything. The only reason past wars have stimulated the economy and innovation is because of government stimulus and extremely high taxation on the rich.

I don't understand Glen Beck's appeal. He seems like a class A douchebag to me.

He represents a scale on the political spectrum that is different from the opposite scale on the political spectrum. That alone is his appeal.
