If Glenn Beck thinks progressives are toxic, what kind of America does he want?
Glenn Beck was on Greta Van Susteren's show last night, plumping his new book, Common Sense -- which, like most right-wing titles, is actually a piece of Newspeak that represents roughly the opposite of what it appears to mean -- and repeating his charge that "the progressive movement is the "disease" that is killing this country".
You see, he's been reading Jonah Goldberg, so he's reached this conclusion (with some help from libertarians). And there's no doubt that the basic argument is right: Beginning in the early 1900s, the progressive movement definitely shifted the direction of this nation and shaped it largely into what we see today.
Glenn Beck thinks that's a bad thing. I don't.
Now, I know that Beck reels in money by the barrelful these days. But he hails from a working-class family and often touts his working-class roots.
So I'd like him to meet some Americans before the progressive movement came along:
These are child laborers from the early part of the last century. They were common fixtures on the American landscape. Possibly some of Beck's ancestors were among them. (Here's a gallery of pictures of them.)
I've remarked on this previously, but it bears repeating:
The United States has always been an essentially capitalist economic system. However, we have experienced periods in our history where this system has seriously malfunctioned, and we've made adjustments accordingly that have largely worked well making things better.
One of those dysfunctional periods came at about the turn of the last century, when McKinley was president, corrupt robber barons ran Congress, and the latter-day version of "strict constructionists" ruled the courts. "Laissez faire" capitalism ruled, and America was functionally an oligarchy.
Squeezed out were the working people: the average workweek was 80 hours, there were no weekends, no vacation, only a few holidays, and the barest minimum of pay. Benefits and health care were unheard of. Child labor was the rule.
What happened between then and now? "Progressives" began agitating for better working conditions, and began organizing as labor unions. After a long period of violent repression, these reforms gradually became government policy -- especially in the 1930s under FDR. Americans began getting 40-hour work weeks with weekends off, paid vacations and benefits.
Probably the most significant and lasting legacy of this period of "progressive" innovation was the progressive tax code. It has been a feature of the income tax since its institution in 1913. Who was one of its original champions? Theodore Roosevelt.
The fact is that the United States -- like nearly every single Western capitalist democracy -- is a variable blend of socialism and capitalism, free-enterprise economies with regulatory restraints and modest income redistribution. The result of those "progressive" reforms from 1900-1940 was the birth of the great American middle class and the quality of life we have enjoyed so long we've forgotten what it was like not to have it. People like Glenn Beck seem never even to have learned.
Indeed, when right-wingers like Beck and Goldberg attack "evil progressivism," it sounds a lot like they want us to return to the bad old days under McKinley, when American workers were indentured servants to the wealthy.
Of course, maybe now that they're both wealthy men, there's a simple explanation for that.
Like the house of cards it was.

beck is a hypocritical turd.

Hey Glenn, where's all that overwhelming change from all those teabag rallies you and your repulsive, easily-debunked ilk were rapturous about on April 15?
Oh, what's that, just more sound & fury that are quickly forgotten, like those insipid & pathetic "Justice Sunday" gahterings?
Awww, too bad, so sad.
But hey, Glenn, go ahead and start agitating to get rid of all the progressive laws passed in this country, no doubt, bringing back child labor and doing away with the 40 hour work week and overtime will quickly right the rapidly sinking USS G.O.P.
Let's just hope the GOP and worthless Bush Dog Dems take your advice in next year's elections.

Dude, you know that's true. Thomas Paine would be appalled to have his shit ripped off by this moron.
Yesterday, I was at Borders. In the checkout line, the woman ahead of me had a copy of Beck's "Common Sense" book. I almost said something but figured I should be polite. I almost gagged and got sick, though.
I wouldn't have been able to help my self.
I probably would have said "Common Sense?" and just laughed.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
That's a good one! Have to remember that and use it the next time!
"C'mon, Sense?"
was "Glenn Beck sucks!"
but that wouldn't work because there *are* people out there who genuinely believe Glenn Beck is a caring, concerned person...You know, he gets all choked up and cries and stuff when talking about America. Naive people love that. You'll just offend them.
... that saying something nasty or laughing at her would make that woman more receptive to progressive ideas?
We have to be better than they are.
Plus, you don't know her motive for buying the book. Maybe she was buying it to study for a progressive book club.
Believe me, I know your frustration and anger, but we have to communicate better with conservatives. Remember, even the FBI knows that you get more out of treating people with courtesy and cookies than you do from being mean to them!
Now YOU say, "Thank you, Katie dearest. You are right, and I stand corrected."
you can't be serious. He did the right thing, not to say anything. You know that it's impossible to communicate with rightwingers and anyone with common sense wouldn't have to buy the book.
Again, he didn't know her motive for buying the book. And it's not impossible to communicate with right-wingers. Saying nothing was better than saying something nasty, but not as good as gently asking why she was buying the book.
And please don't think I'm all wishy-washy and don't believe in fighting the conservative politicians in every legal way possible! (Grrrr!)
but we will just have to agree to disagree.
I agree. Er -- I disagree ... or do I agree?

... how about saying in a calm, kind voice, "Excuse me, I'm just wondering why you're buying that book?"
The woman might say she's buying it for her boss to read, or to study in a book group. In which case you can ask her what she thinks of Beck's opinions and go from there.
Or she might answer that she thinks Glenn Beck is wonderful. Then you say -- still calmly and kindly -- "Ah, I see," and just smile (calmly and kindly) and nod, and leave it at that, stepping away an inch or two.
She might turn back to being in line, or she might find the silence uncomfortable and ask you what you think of him. Then you can say (c. and k.), "Well, I disagree with him."
Can you extrapolate from this sample? You don't argue, you don't confront, you're safe within yourself knowing what you know. You are so rich in that knowledge that you can afford to be kind to someone who subscribes to Beck's fear-mongering.
Please don't think that I'm always this self-aware; I'm often caught off-guard by things people say and do, and either don't respond, or respond hastily and badly. But we're supposed to be the more self-aware here, right?
Because she believes in Beck. Do you really think that she would give you the time of day?
My money is on the cold shoulder. And or being rude. Laugh at them.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
No, in my experience it goes like this:
"So and so Dem did this". I reply "no, that's not how it happened, prior to that so and so Republican did this" (facts, they hate that).
The ulitmate answer to my debunking is "WELL, both parties are wrong". That is how every single debate ends with my sister.
First, she points out our faults, I prove her wrong and then the end is "Well you're BOTH wrong". ala Ross Perot.
They can't come back with a response about Republican's doing wrong, the end result is always "they both did wrong".
to be a progressive talk show host that had to read any of their books because they are going to be on their show. Thom Hartmann sometimes does and then invites them on his show to dispute their writings.
I try to reason with people like that, but they can't seem to follow the interweaving of my thought processes.
That's why they like people like billo and glands, they seem "more like them," and I suppose make them feel part of a no-nonsense movement.

That say that they won't sign just any old thing that someone brings in to the work place, because it might be bad for them and they are too stupid to know that a unionized work place might be better for them than..oh...making 1/3 as much as their less qualified managers, just because the managers have a "degree". (this is the case in most retail establishments...and the "degree" can often be in anything at all...as long as it is a legitimate college degree of the prescribed number of years.) My current manager has a 4 year degree in elementary education. He is 27 and is making 30 thousand dollars a year more than he would be if he were actually BEING an elementary school educator. He has worked for the company for 6 years. He makes 6 times a year more than I do, and thinks it is fair because he "got an education." Stupid boy.
Dave, one small correction, the first Income Tax was passed in 1913, not 1916. Taft supported the 16th Amendment to allow such a tax in 1909. The amendment was ratified in February 1913 (Taft's last month in office) and Wilson pressed Congress to include the tax in the bill that lowered tariffs (people forget how regressive the tariff system was at the time). The initial tax set rates ranging from 1 percent for incomes over $4,000 a year to 7 percent for incomes over $500,000. The average family made $1,000 a year at the time, and most made less, so the progressive tax effectively shifted the tax burden from the working and middle classes up to the wealthy. At the time this seemed quite fair to Democrats and (many) Republicans. And yes, TR certainly thought it was fair..
We corrected that; thanks for bringing the date error to our attention.

oppression of unions and the constraint of interventionist government limits on hours of work and working conditions, and medical attention is something only for those who don't have Jesus as their personal saviour or live in a far away godless socialist country.

My lexicon of derisive, nasty, snotty put-downs is exhausted for this hysterical, unbalanced adolescent. I'm done.
"Secular humanism -- a fearless, realistic world view replete with doubt and scepticism that attempts to attain an unachievable state of equilibrium between and among the human qualities of reason, intuition, imagination, memory, ethics and common sense.
The gross ignorance being spewed by Beck is astounding. He can't even get what the whole idea behind progressivism is: to help Americans live a life of dignity, respect, and a little bit of happiness. Everything the progressive movement has done has benefited the majority of Americans, unlike Beck's faux populist tea bagging movement which inadvertently will help corporations and the rich.
I am still surprised that we still have people pulling for a flat tax. A flat tax only helps the rich while being extremely hurtful to the rest of Americans. A flat tax assumes that a dollar's worth means the same among all income levels. A dollar is worth more to a person who is middle class or a part of the ever-expanding poor than a person who is rich. A flat tax rewards the rich while essentially punishing the rest of working Americans.
I've said it a few times before, but we are experiencing our own Gilded Age. Funny how history keeps repeating itself, hoping that maybe one day humanity might get a clue and learn.
I have seen many such pictures. And they are true. Before Social Security and "welfare" and many other laws, it was brutal in the U.S. I always thought "Wow! I am SO glad that *I* didn't live in those times!" But look at today -- health care. It is just as bad. Someday (and hopefully, it will be sooner rather than later), Americans will look back at the year 2009 and think, "Wow! Brutal! I am glad *I* didn't have to endure that!"
But it really astounds me that Americans are so brain dead. It should be a no-brainer. I saw this 25 years ago -- about the time HMOs were brought about. We keep hearing 2 things -- 75% of Americans want single-payer AND 75% of Americans want to keep their current insurance because they love it so much. Which is the lie? I don't know -- only because I don't hold Americans to a high intellectual standard. Of course, going single-payer is a no-brainer. But would Americans FIGHT for it? In France, they do. (Fight for what they want.) In South America, they do. In Iran, they do. On and on. Oh, but not America.
It truly sickens me.
My father, born in 1911, had to quit school early so he could work to help his family. He had 12 brothers and sisters (the idea of birth control seemingly unknown to good old Grandpa Mac). When he was about 14, my father had to work in one of the coal mines along the Illinois River, sitting in the dark operating a hand pump to get rid of water seeping in. Rats would run across his feet...

Wow, someone else who thinks so. I have a choice at work : to sit at a table where the major topic is American Idol, or at a table where I can't express my political opinions because it "shocks" my colleagues.
I got into an argument a few months ago at the second table when some fool stated that a single-payer plan would mean we couldn't choose our own doctors. I lived in England for 13 years and I know that the single-payer system does work. And I told him so, plus a few other things. Over the next few days he stopped talking to me about politics and this gradually spread to the rest of his cohorts. Why are Americans so reticent to express their views? The Europeans love to argue. I know this from personal experience. My in-laws used to have great ripping rows over Sunday dinner.
My 13 years living abroad gave me a whole new perspective on my country of birth. I love my country and I love my fellow Americans but by gods we need to smarten up.

Anyone?
I read somewhere recently that some of the right-wing books are bought in large quantities by rich people to distribute to their churches and other fan groups, and also to bump up the sales numbers.
I don't have a link at hand right now, but it has been well documented that these book releases and sales from righty ideologues are well orchestrated, and they are practically given away through promotions at sites like Townhall.com, and Human Events.
Its not just a question of "rich people" buying up the books and giving them away, but of institution and think tanks funded by the wealthy buying them up and giving them away.
Plus they get a lot of free advertising and publicity from the talk radio circuit. There is really no professional or competitive jealousy between them in this regards. You will constantly here Rush or Hannity promote Levin etc..

No, you imbecilic fuck, they believed in an Executive Branch that actually had the power to execute the laws passed by the Congress. As if the early 20th Century progressives advocated the unitary executive theory...
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.

i don't follow beck much at all. he's not convincing. i don't even know much about him as far as why his opinion means much. i try to be open and be somewhat flexible but when some independents/libertarians talk i have images of a conflict with reality. i've met/spoke with those of a anti-government ethos and it seems to be a sales pitch for the (r) party. this romance of individualism/pick yourself up brush off the dust without any help of government just sounds good. the robber barrons of the past took advantage of desperate people and they still do. often the government has been of economic benefit to all including the anti-gov. people, from railroads to federal incentives for universities. with population/demographic growth/shifts it's more challenging to protect us from ourselves. so government grows/intervenes. i just think these independents want the good government but not their bad government. i still believe at times like other groups indies/libs. get people to vote against their best economic interest. it's much more challenging to have a life of i'll live my life my way attitude. when communities change and grow. if you have a business that grows and that growth impacts/ changes the population i think you have to accept the changes as part of business. those changes may require more / changes in government.

When people were doing six day weeks of 12 hour shifts. One thing forgotten is that after 8 hours or so, esp after 10 people stop working efficiently, so those extra work hours are worthless anyway.
Yes you can work the young and fit hard for those long shifts, but it has a toll, workers break. And when you have half the workforce broken or unfit, it takes two people to do a normal job rate.
Hence the ancient meme of gangs of people leaning on shovels.
I used to work a 12 hour shift at a factory a number of years ago. Despite getting a lunch and three breaks, it still was hell on the body and soul. I eventually transfered to another part of the factory that was still on an 8 hour shift. Thank God.
After a while, you just go through the motions and do shitty work. Working an 8 hour day actually makes sense for business as well as workers. It's more efficient to have a well rested and concentrated work force, not an exhausted, incoherent one. But then, what do I know? I don't have a MBA in business, but I have eyes that have seen life.
I don't think Beck knows too much about business or the real world.
