The Argument Against Idiots: Democrat Landslide in November

September 10, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

How to win the argument de jour with logic and facts



 


The issue:

'Democrat Landslide in November'

What the liberal whiners say:

'America is fed up with you right wing nutballs, and we're gonna sweep every last Republican out of office...starting with the Presidency!'

'You wanna talk polls? How about George Bush's dismal approval rating? Not even Republicans can stomach him anymore!'

'That's because Congress couldn't end the war in Iraq! And it's George W. Bush who wouldn't let Nancy Pelosi end the war like she promised!'

'None of that matters anyway. Barack Obama's popularity transcends Congress. He will carry the party to victory over that washed up, 200 year old Bush twin, and his biker-babe, trailer trash, token female!'

Your winning, logical, reasoned arguments

1. Apparently someone forgot to tell the American people all of that then, because McCain-Palin is up 10 points in the latest USA Today poll of likely voters, they're up 3 points with registered voters and ahead by a point even when you average ALL the polls together...that's an 11 point swing from just 3 days ago.

2. Well, congratulations...there's a little bit of truth to that. Although President Bush has over 3 TIMES the approval rating of Congress. The democrat-majority Congress is at NINE PERCENT approval! I don't think it can get any worse than that...most of that 9% is probably Congressional family members.

3. No, the war in Iraq isn't even being discussed anymore by the media...because we're WINNING it. We're winning to the degree that we're even preparing to turn it all over to the Iraqis and start withdrawing our troops. Nancy Pelosi and Congress's problem is, they promised ACTION. Instead, we have the least productive Congress in American history. Up to this point, only 294 actual laws have been passed. By far, the fewest in HISTORY, over 2 years in after an election.

And now that they've come back from a month-long vacation, what has Speaker Pelosi put on the agenda this week? Critical items such as...naming two post offices and two federal court buildings. But, they're grueling, frantic schedule doesn't end there. They are also tackling the hotly discussed issue of H.R. 3036 - the "No Child Left Inside Act of 2008". A resolution to encourage kids to go outside and play. Finally! They will also wrestle with the one of the biggest topics of our time... H.R. 3667 - the "Missisquoi and Trout Rivers Wild and Scenic River Study Act of 2008". With that hectic Pelosi plan for the week, there is of course, no time to get into something as frivolous as drilling off shore.

4. Well, it's interesting then that more people watched the Republican convention than the Democrat convention, if as you say, Obama is so wildly popular. Even after the first night of the GOP convention was all but cancelled because of Hurricane Gustav, the Republicans still stole the show from the "chosen one".

Glenn Beck: Cyberattack on US pipeline points to 'Axis powers' of a 'digital World War III'

The largest American gas pipeline shut down on Friday due to what experts told the media was the "most dramatic cyberattack on U.S. soil to date." Investigators are looking at a group believed to be based in Russia known as "DarkSide."

It's time our leaders in the White House take national security seriously because this isn't the first time enemies of the U.S. — namely Russia and China — have used the cyber world to attack our nation and weaken our infrastructure, Glenn Beck argued on the radio program. Between Russia, China, and Iran — which President Joe Biden is now trying to make another nuclear deal with — it looks like the "Axis powers" of a "digital World War III" are lining up

"The journalists seem to care about the price of gasoline for the first time. Is it because they actually care? Or is it because they're trying not to focus on the fact that this was an attack most likely from Russia? And it isn't the first cyberattack from Russia of the year ... maybe we should be paying attention, to Vladimir Putin," Glenn began.

"And by the way, the pipeline going down, that's not the only [cyberattack] happening now," he added later. "Thirty thousand U.S. victims, small businesses and local governments, were hacked by cyber espionage units backed by the Chinese government in January of this year."

"There is an 'Axis power.' It is Russia and China. And, by the way, who is also aligned with Russia and China? Iran. Wow, this is weird," Glenn surmised. "But don't worry about that. Just leave your dog tags on another table. Let's not talk about China. Let's not talk about who actually crashed the jugular of our oil pipelines. I don't want war. But I got news for you ... this Biden administration is doing the job for our enemies."

'It's a death by a thousand cuts': Jordan Peterson on why staying silent is WORSE than facing the woke mob

Image source: Video screenshot

Canadian clinical psychologist, author, and cultural firebrand Jordan Peterson is no stranger to cancel culture. Ever since he was thrust into the culture war, he has faced one controversy after another, stirred up by the woke elites who hate him with a passion. But although they have tried to make him pay for speaking out so fearlessly against their message, he refuses to back down and he believes you should, too. He joined "The Glenn Beck Podcast" this week to explain why.

"There is a growth of the reluctant hero in all stories ... so many people think that they don't have what it takes, that they're not the hero," Glenn said to Peterson. "How do you get people to recognize and then have the courage to stand? You've taken a beating ... why is it worth it and how do you get there?"

"I think it's worth it because I believe the alternative is worse ... to stay silent when you have something to say," Peterson replied. "You don't know what it is within you that requires your voice, right, because you feel like 'I have something to say.' Where does that come from exactly, that feeling that you have something to say?

"Maybe you're disgruntled at work and you're choking on your own bile because the situation is not just in your estimation," he continued. "You're dying to say something, but you won't. Well, you'll die if you don't say it. Maybe it's a death by a thousand cuts. I don't like deferred punishment. I'd rather take it now and keep the future clean, which is why I encourage people to have the fights now, not to hide things in the fog for later. They grow and metastasize. It's better to confront what you need to confront when it's small and you have some possibility of victory."

Bank of America warns of HYPERINFLATION 'at the very LEAST'

Top officials at the Federal Reserve are doing what they can to sugar coat what's ahead for our economy, telling Americans we may hit a "transitory" period of inflation that will settle by 2022. But Bank of America is saying something different. The bank's latest earnings call commentary warned "at the very least" transitory hyperinflation is ahead.

Watch the video clip below to hear Glenn Beck explain what this means for prices and for our economy.

WATCH: Race-Baiters Be Damned: 3 Big Lies About Racism DEBUNKED

Straight from the Marxist con of critical race theory are three big lies about "systemic racism" in America that are debilitating to our nation: the lie that policing in the U.S. is thoroughly racist, the lie of voter suppression, and the lie of equity as the solution to solve "racism." Despite the evidence disproving these lies, they grow stronger, thanks to Democrats and activists with selfish interest in these narratives, who, along with their media partners, spread the sinister message that everything in America is racist by default and only massive government intervention can save us from ourselves. President Biden, Vice President Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi – every Democrat on the national stage sees racism in literally everything at this point.

In this precarious time for America, Glenn Beck and North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson join together with data and the truth to fight back against the race-baiters ripping us apart.
