I'm sure this will rile up people, but I just wanted to share a rather funny comment on the page announcing Beck U:

Glenn Beck - Current Events & Politics - Announcing Beck University


Hey dumb butts. If you were educaed enough you would look up the original documents and if you can read, read them for yourself. But I guess our four fathers were promting their own political ideology,while writing our Constitution. GO BACK TO SCHOOL THIS TIME LEARN ON YOUR OWN.
Our four fathers... heheh, I love that


I'm also interested to know if any of you have taken the online classes? I'm just wondering what they are like?

I bet the next thing is Beck Church.

If you got a bunch of mindless followers, the best way to make money off of them is start your own university and church.

Reason is because you can feed them the same BS at your university and church while getting paid, and get them to recruit more mindless followers.

hyteckit: I guess I don't understand the wisdom of letting Beck rile you up? He's designed to rile you up, your being riled up is what he wants, he makes more money that way.

I don't care about his fascination with gold and his University and stuff, he can do that as long as he wants so long as it is legal. I'm concerned over his trying to get people to be more religious thing, but he has a right to state his opinion. I just hope that people don't do what he says for a variety of reasons.

Well, you seem to be getting rather intense about him, taking him rather seriously. However, never mind, I guess my thread about him calling for people to be more religious is my taking him seriously too...

Seriously? You are trying to talk reason with Hyteckit?

"Altruism is killing America. We who want to save America must repudiate this killer, root and branch. We must understand and explain to others that the acceptance of altruism necessitates the violation of individual rights... and that the arguments for altruism are baseless..."

I just enjoying making fun of Glenn Beck and his mindless religious followers.

Not rile enough to start threads about Glenn Beck.

Even Glenn Beck knows he's a clown.

"Four fathers" reminds me of our very own "sixteenth chapel"

How can it be both high-faulting and correct at the same time?

I don't think you've quite graduated your Beck College yet.
