Worn Out Ideas Like Capitalism

Turn on the radio and what do we hear? Glenn Beck ranting and raving about capitalism. Capitalism? Capitalism is so yesterday! Yet here Glenn Beck is, capitalism, blah, blah blah.

From the Glenn Beck Radio: "But who's got my back? Capitalism does. You don't just throw capitalism under the bus because it's popular. Capitalism defeated the Nazis. Capitalism liberated millions, prevented the enslavement of millions across Europe. Capitalism is the reason there's a Jew on the planet. Capitalism won the Cold War. It crushed the Soviet Union. It crushed communism. And then we started to embrace communism and socialism, and it's about to crush us. Not only did capitalism defeat the Soviets on the battlefield but it defeated the communists and the Soviets on the fields of science and medicine and technology. Capitalism isn't about business. Capitalism isn't about Wal-Mart. Capitalism isn't about Exxon. Capitalism is about you and your dream. It's not about how business is done. That's where greed comes in. Capitalism is the vehicle. It doesn't matter who's driving it. It doesn't care who's driving it. It's just a vehicle. It's like saying that your car, it makes a difference if you get into it or your wife. Your wife driving your car, your car doesn't care who's driving it. Neither does capitalism. When it's unleashed, it doesn't make judgments. That's why the individual plays such an important role. That's why you being somebody that you can look somebody in the eye and say my word is my bond. That's why it makes a difference because capitalism will eat everything up around it. But if it's wielded by a dirty guy, if it's wielded by somebody who just doesn't care, it will eventually eat them as well, if they're allowed to fail. If they're not allowed to fail, then it turns into something called fascism, which isn't capitalism, although it ends in the same three letters. Isn't that weird.

Capitalism is a vehicle and you're the driver. As the individual, you make the difference. You put your key in. Your key is your imagination. You turn the key with your work ethic ask you steer it with your morals. That's when capitalism beats everything else on the road. It's the driver. It's not just the car. It's the driver. It gives the individual the opportunity to put their dreams into that ignition and start it up, unleash the power of the individual. The power that gave the United States about the same GDP as Japan, Germany, China and the United Kingdom combined."

You have to admit it, Glenn Beck is just one sick twisted freak! Glenn Beck just does not seem to get it. America wants change, not some twisted old fashioned idea like capitalism. Whatever happened to ideas like take from the rich and give to the poor. I thought Glenn Beck was supposed to be a Christian or a Mormon or something like that. I mean like, what right do we as Americans have to a better economy than the rest of the world, that's not fair. Glenn Beck, "Capitalism crushed communism"? What right did we have crushing communism. That does not sound like a very fair thing to do.

Glenn Beck just does not get it, capitalism is dead, long live capitalism!
