Is Glenn Beck losing his MIND?

I agree with almost anything he says. But mixed in with his preparation talk, he is advocating NON-violence.

WAY, way back, years ago we had a hurricane here in NC and I got caught with my pants WAY down. 9 flashlights, zero of which worked. My SKS was loaded. With all FOUR of the shells I had left. I filled ONE bathtub. (we had 3) I 'thought' I had charcoal, wood and propane. We ate 3 cold meals before the power came back on. I swore I'd never get caught again. And I started slowly storing emergency gear.
.
Y2K rolled around and I didn't think it would be the end of the world. Mainly because the world could get by without computers. It might have slowed things down, but it would be possible. After all, we did it for THOUSANDS of years.
.
I was well ready for that. Beans and bullets galore and the willingness to use the second one to keep the first one.
.
GB is beating, and has been beating the "prepper" lifestyle since I started listening to him. I believe in it. I do it. But here is where I lose Glenn.
.
He talks non-stop about the commie, redistribution, radical clowns in the country and the Ospenda Administration. And he talks about the violence THEY want to use. This morning and other times he has spoken about NOT going to violence. Be like Ghandi, be like MLK, be non-violent.
.
I'm torn on WHO should fire the first shot. Truly. I think it's coming. But regardless of who starts it, once it's going, just how in the hell do you protect your family, their provisions and your future, WITHOUT being willing to be violent BACK at those who threaten you?!
.
I'm willing to listen. Where am I off the message. Or is it BECK, who is running up to the goal line and stopping? Is he intentionally NOT saying beans AND BULLETS?

PS

He just said people he knows 'in the gub'ment' think 20% of people will NOT be able to afford FOOD next year. Someone else said, it will be WAY higher. If so, how do I protect MY family. if I'm NOT willing to be violent?

Non-violence is always preferred, but when dealing with Barbarians, not always best.

I agree, but given the choice, most of humanity seems historically opposed to the non-violent system. Their mostly barbarians.

And clothes do NOT make the man. Most of the current barbarian crop wear expensive suits and power ties.

make that... THEY'RE mostly...

Non violence is always best, except when you're the only one being non violent. And don't worry about the future. In fact, you can throw your guns and ammo away because as Glenn says, "God will save us".

Surely you jest Sir?!

Not at all. That's what he really believes. Perhaps he missed the part that says, "God helps those who help themselves". While there are those who are working hard to remove God from our country and our lives, it's We The People who will save us.
