Glenn Beck On Government Sachs

Hopefully by now people no longer question while financial bloggers are hammering Goldman Sachs. Corporate personhood and its associated stench, corporate lobbying, has heisted our government. Goldman isn't the only company. And neither is Wall Street the only industry. But Goldman has taken this unsavory practice to a level not accomplished by any other firm I am aware of. This video has been floating around the net and I feel a duty to post it for anyone who has not already seen it. Mostly because its vile and maddening truth contributes to society's enlightenment. (If this tip of the iceberg is what we now see with little transparency into what is really going on in Washington, what incredible unknowns will reveal themselves with greater transparency? How might that actually ever happen? One scenario I could see is possibly if one or both of the major parties are sacked in major elections. Or if a populist President is elected. And I believe a populist President is exactly what is going to happen in 2012.)

Now I want to make a remark as it pertains to this video. Many political and media partisans have tried to marginalize Glenn Beck as a kook or a radical. Or somehow not supportive of a particular political agenda. We should embrace anyone willing to publicly express a voice of reason and concern for our way of life and our democratic values. This ideal is the very foundation of democracy. There are only patriots when it comes to concern of our future and demanding better governance and a better way of life for our fellow citizens. Labeling and marginalizing dissent is exactly what the political machine wants us to. Marginalization is exactly how they created this crisis. By marginalizing cassandras and truth seekers for decades. It won't work any longer because the layers have been exposed and it's more ugly than most anyone could have imagined. Society is well on its way to a great enlightenment. And that very fact cranks the elitist spin machine into overdrive as it attempts to defend and save itself. Embracing those willing to agitate for constructive change is the only way we shall see change. A better tomorrow will not come unless we make it happen.

Does anyone honestly believe the founding men and women of this country were all of the same opinion or political beliefs? There was constant bickering. It is the American way. Yet they were united in a common cause as those with differing views today are united in their desire for change. There is nothing more natural than a disparate society finding common ground to unite them in the desire for morality, justice and good. There is no doubt in my mind we shall prevail.
