‘Dictatorship 101': Beck’s Chilling Break-Down of What Parent Arrested After Questioning Common Core Means for America

Sep. 23, 2013 by Erica Ritz
theblaze.com


Glenn Beck told his audience on Monday that the arrest of a Maryland father who was asking questions about Common Core is frightening evidence of the country moving further along the path that he says goes from “nudge,” to “shove,” to “shoot.”

“You start simple, with just a little ‘ nudge,’” he said. “It’s Cash for Clunkers. It is trying to figure out a way to make energy prices ‘ necessarily skyrocket,’ to nudge you into hybrids.”

But when that doesn’t work, the government starts to “shove,” Beck continued.


“That’s when they use the IRS to shut down opposing voices. They use the NSA to monitor and track American citizens…Then they start using regulation and they start arresting people to scare everybody.”

If that also fails to produce the results the government seeks, Beck said, historically, they start to shoot, or send people to re-education or internment camps.

“So where are we in the scale?” Beck asked the audience. “Are we at nudge, shove, or shoot?”

Beck said after he saw the video of what happened in Towson, Maryland, he couldn’t sleep for two hours because he believes “it is a very important piece that moves us further towards shoot.”

Here’s complete video of the event, in case you missed it:

During a public forum on Common Core, Robert Small stood up because he had a question (it should be noted that the flyer for the event encourages, “your chance to get answers to your Common Core questions” but parents were asked to submit their questions on paper).

“He wasn’t merely arrested,” Beck said. “He was removed with excessive force, and today he faces 10 years in prison…Did he look at all out of control? …This is the way it used to happen in mother Russia, not America.

Small was charged with second degree assault of a police officer, faced a $2,500 fine, and up to ten years in prison, but it was announced shortly after Beck’s program concluded that all charges have been dropped.

But that wasn’t all that shocked Beck.

“Where were the teachers as he was being removed? You know, the ones who always teach about how it’s wrong to bully people?” he asked. “Did not one person have the decency to stay stop, up there on the board?”

“We have seen in the past few months teachers stand up for a colleague who raped an 8th grade student, but the teachers don’t stand up against this?” he added.

As Small was being pushed out of the room, he expressed shock at how the crowd was sitting there like “cattle,” urging them to “question these people.”

Beck agreed: “Time to get out of the herd, because you’re being led to slaughter. Perhaps people were afraid to speak because they were afraid of being dragged off by a police officer…And when nobody is there to stand up for you, it’s because you weren’t there to stand there for everybody else that was dragged off.”

Beck told his viewers to mark the day in their journals, and that it really doesn’t matter if Small goes to jail or not, the damage has been done.

“Did people learn their lesson?” he asked. “It’s dictatorship 101 — make someone an example, and the rest will stay in line.”

He said thousands should show up at the area’s next Common Core meeting, though he doubts that will happen.

Complimentary Clip from TheBlaze TVBeck brought in two local activists who were at the event in Maryland where Small was arrested, Ann Miller — who took the video — and Cindy Sharretts, who was sitting a few seats behind Small. The two remarked that nothing was taken out of context — Small was not making a disturbance before the video began, for instance, and that they think many likely regretted not having stood up.

“Everybody has those moments where you think, in hindsight, I should have done this, I should have said that,” Miller said. “I think a lot of us had a learning moment that evening.”

They added, however, that they didn’t know at the time that the man was being arrested; they just thought he was being escorted out of the room.

“Parents really need to understand how political our school system is,” Miller urged. “We think that we’re working together, parents and teachers…[but] it’s a top-down power structure, and then you throw in money, which is Common Core.”

“In Maryland, we received a quarter of a [billion] dollars when we adopted Common Core three years ago,” she said. “Now in that time, we’ve had an information blackout. We didn’t even know we adopted it…

Beck noted that if a private company treated people in such a way, “you’d sell your stock and get out.” But you can’t when it’s the government. More than that, you turn your kids over to them for the majority of the day.

Kyle Olson of the the Education Action Group, who joined later in the program, told Beck: “This moment right now is a call to arms against Common Core, against this thug bureaucracy that we’re seeing right now, and it’s critical that people stand up and fight back.”

Miller and Sharretts urged people to join or look at the Facebook group, Don’t be Cattle! Fight Common Core!, to stay updated on the latest.

How low can you get with playing politics over our nation’s veterans?”
...........................................................................................

Obama admin. knew about WWII veterans’ request and rejected it

10/01/2013 byCharles C. Johnson
dailycaller.com


The White House and the Department of the Interior rejected a request from
Rep. Steven Palazzo’s office to have World War II veterans visit the World War II memorial in Washington, the Mississippi Republican told The Daily Caller Tuesday.

Palazzo helped the veterans commit an act of civil disobedience against the Park Service Tuesday, when the heroes stormed through barricades around the closed memorial. (Related: WWII vets storm closed memorial as GOP congressman reportedly distracts cops)

The veterans were visiting the memorial as part of Honor Flight, a non-profit that provides veterans free transport to the nation’s capital to visit the memorials to the wars they fought in.

“We got the heads up that they will be barricaded and specifically asked for an exception for these heroes,” Palazzo told TheDC. “We were denied and told, ‘It’s a government shutdown, what do you expect?’ when we contacted the liaison for the White House.”

Palazzo’s office was in touch with the heads of the National Park Service, the Department of the Interior and the Capitol Police. He says all these officials rejected his request to allow the veterans, many of whom are octogenarians and some of whom are in poor health, to attend.

Palazzo, a Gulf War Marine veteran who has participated in all five of the Honor Flights,
blames the White House for making it harder on veterans and playing politics. “At first I thought it was a huge bureaucratic oversight,” Palazzo told The Daily Caller, “but having talked with the officials I can’t help but think this was politically motivated. Honor Flights, which bring WWII veterans to the nation’s memorials, are planned a year in advance and cost anywhere between $80,000 to $100,000. How low can you get with playing politics over our nation’s veterans?”

In a statement, Palazzo noted that he is introducing legislation to ensure that all Honor Flights are granted access this week. “This is an open-air memorial that the public has 24/7 access to under normal circumstances — even when Park Service personnel aren’t present,” Palazzo said in the statement. “It actually requires more effort and expense to shut out these veterans from their Memorial than it would to simply let them through. My office has been in touch with NPS officials and the Administration to try to resolve this issue.”

SILVER STAR FAMILIES OF AMERICA UP IN ARMS OVER WORLD WAR ll MEMORIAL FLAP

...........................................................................................
The Silver Star Families of America ^ | 2013 | Steve Newton

Today Steve Newton, the National President of the Silver Star Families of America called the attempted closing of the World War ll Memorial and other national monuments a slap in the face for all veterans and Americans. Newton stated, “It seems to me that as a country we have lost our way. Whether this is due to a lack of moral leadership or a willingness of the government to inflict pain on the American people for political purposes, I don’t really know. But I do know this: If one hair on the heads of our WWll veterans is harmed they won’t have to worry about the government shutdown because they will have every American veteran and many active duty Armed Force members in the streets.”

Continuing he stated, “this is beyond any “line” in the sand. This is a promise. These memorials do not belong to the government they belong to the People and especially to those who earned the right by serving this country. I am asking every police officer of whatever jurisdiction to follow their oaths and disobey any unlawful orders to close any memorial. And we will be attempting to identify where those unlawful orders originate.”

“I am proud that once more, the greatest generation has shown us the way. When confronted with wrong they simply said no. It may be high time we emulate them.”

The Silver Star Families of America has a mission to Remember, Honor and Assist the wounded, ill, injured and dying of our Armed Forces from all wars.
