"Speaks out against progressivism. . ."?

Are you saying that he's bringing to light some caustic force within our country called "progressivism?" I can imagine a lot of ignorant people mumbling and nodding their heads in agreement, with images evoked of an unearthed cancerous network which is eating the country from its foundation. A cancer which has always been here, and has been causing the degradation of everything American. And this problem must be stopped. The solution is simple: anything "progressive" must be regressed, stomped out, and turned to ash, lest we sully our stupid, hardassed, values.

Puhlease. Glen Beck's message is absolutely atrocious and dangerous, and I cannot believe someone on HN would "completely" agree with him.

Seriously, "progressivism?" Let's go back in time and shoot the founding fathers.
