Principle 5
5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson
OK, first thoughts. If you’re such a law-and-order guy, Mr. Beck, why haven’t you “paid the penalty” for all the laws YOU broke? You hypocrite, you used and undoubtedly sold or distributed hard drugs, drove under the influence of drugs and alchohol, and who knows what else? Did you go whoring? That’s illegal, too.
And what about TODAY, Beck? You make false statements about public figures on a continuous basis. That’s libel. Can your tax returns stand up to an audit? I doubt it, because when you make $18 million you have to find ways to cheat to feed your greed.
What a hypocrite. Don’t even START up with this “do the crime, do the time” bullshit. From you, it’s MEANINGLESS, just as your whole worthless rap and bullshit life.
I find this one very interesting; it’s a shout-out for law and order. When was the last time you saw a Constitution-waving teabagger with a sign that says “No more illegal war” or “Prosecute the torturers” or “Signing Statements Are NOT Binding Law”? LOL, don’t hold your breath.
This principle is code for “lynch ‘em”. In Glenn Beck’s America, you can have all the justice you can afford. But don’t depend on the Supreme Court to help you out. They’re stacked to the right, as is the entire US Court system.
Instead of “justice is blind” why didn’t Beck say “We should strive for legal, social, and economic justice for every American”? Because he doesn’t believe it. He just wants to build more jails and justify his followers carrying guns and shooting anybody they think needs “justice”.
This is what happens when whack jobs get a mic. I worked as a professional musician for many years, and we ALWAYS kept goofballs and drunks off the mic. That includes dry drunks like Glenn Beck.
5. Nobody is above the law, except for members of the Bush administration that shredded our constitutional rights, called the constitution just a piece of paper, had people arrested for wearing Democratic shirts to Republican rallies, etc. Senator Larry Craig, busted for trying to pick up a gay date in a restroom, was the subject of a long rant on Beck’s radio show, lots of talking but not a word about him being a Republican or a hypocrite. What was said about Ken Lay? Gov. Sanford? The various other Republicans who broke the law on family and sex matters or sold their votes and integrity for causes that Beck approves of? The assassination squads reportedly operated out of VP Cheney’s office?
