Glenn Beck Forgets This Part Of “Question With Boldness”

7:11 pm EST November 25th, 2009 | Media | 4 Comments

Glenn Beck loves to cite “question with boldness” in his ill-fated ill-informed ongoing hagiography of the founders (they were brilliant, but clearly amazingly flawed as well – it’s possible to hold both ideas in your head). But, he ignores this:

“Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blind-folded fear.”
- Thomas Jefferson

That’s like the exact opposite of Glenn Beck.

    Beck pretends the founding fathers would approve of a guy who attacked a woman on the radio after she had a miscarriage

    Good point. But why are you running SCIENTOLOGY ads, of all things, immediately after your posts?

    Oh, who the hell knows what the founding fathers would want? They’re long dead. They had their day, and it was an important one, but it’s OVER. Hero worship is lame.

    Beck also likes to quote Thomas Paine. He doesn’t understand Paine either.
