Words That Kill!! Hatred in America


"We need to address it as if it [Progressivism] is a cancer. It must be cut out of the system because they can not coexist. … You must eradicate it.”


In his speech on Saturday at CPAC (conservative Political Action Committee) in Washington, DC, the conservative news commentator Glenn Beck brought his chalkboard. He wrote the word "Progressivism" on it and said, "This is the disease."

"Progressivism is the cancer in America and it's eating our Constitution, and it was designed to eat the Constitution - to progress past the Constitution," Beck said.

He said that the only difference between a communist and a progressive is that communists seize power through revolution and progressives through evolution.

"We don't want to evolve," Beck shouted.
 "It's big government. It's a socialist utopia."

"We need to address it as if it is a cancer. It must be cut out of the system because they can not coexist. … You must eradicate it," Beck told the cheering crowd of conservatives.

The message is clear. Progressive are the enemy. We must get rid of them. Progressives are like cancer and cancer need to be dealt with.

No, this is not taken from a textbook of Hitler's Germany but it is being broadcasted in the United States of America in 2010! There will be those who will take it literally and act accordingly. From Timothy Mc Veigh, the Oklahoma city bomber, to A. Joseph Stack III,the suicide pilot, who targeted the IRS building in Austin. There will be more on the waiting list of right-wing homegrown American terrorists who will strike sooner or later. Hate mongers like Glen Beck may provide the disciples of hatred the ideological ammunition to strike. Its now open season on Progressive, and anyone can pick whom they consider a Progressive. So, because I am a Progressive , I am now a target, too?

When do we learn to stand up against hatred, intolerance and prejudice? What else has to happen before its too late?

Yours
