Glen Beck Has lost his mind....again

     Glen Beck has once again went around the bend. He said today that President Obama was about to snap and round up the conservatives into internment camps. He said that President Obama has been coddled all of his life and treated like a god and wouldn't react well when the press turns on him.
      President Obama has been insulted and challenged in the press more than any other president, at least in my life time. When President Obama was elected the first time there was a multitude of conspiracy theories that he would round people up and put them in internment camps. If that was his intent then he sure is taking his own sweet time about it. The same can be said about the lies that He was coming after every ones guns. He has supported the slightest of common sense gun control bills and has been blocked at every turn by the conservative right.
      If there is a ligament  complaint to be made about the President is that he has been far too soft on the people spewing lies and hate in the guise of news. President Obama tried for way to long to compromise with the republican party to no avail. No matter how detrimental to the country, their stated goal was to block the president, period. 
      There was the so called scandal about President Obama birth certificate, which he did produce. Even though he proved that he was born in the United States of America, some in the republican party and the right wing media started what would become the norm. Completely ignoring the truth. President Obama didn't snap.
      There was the intentional misconception about the presidents religion. Hateful ignorant people across the country were spoon fed lies insisting that then Mr. Obama was Muslim. He is not Muslim, but in this supposed land of religious freedom, would it really matter what his religion was as long as he didn't base his polices on his personal religious beliefs? Sadly yes, but that doesn't make it right. President Obama didn't snap. 
      The racial slurs and verbal attacks on the President and first Lady Michelle Obama that still go on. Adults saying horrible racist things that no mature adult should ever say. Cartoons depicting the President as a monkey. President Obama didn't snap. 
      Getting the affordable care act passed was an uphill struggle. Congress voted six times to repeal the affordable care act. There were forty or more attempts to refund the act that has given millions of American citizens access to health care that they couldn't get in the previous healthcare system, forcing many people to seek care at emergency rooms. People died waiting for help or because they couldn't get the care they needed, meanwhile costing tax payers millions. President Obama didn't snap.
      The so called Benghazi scandal/witch hunt is a great example. The real scandal is that the very people screaming for information that they already had were the same people who had voted to cut funding for embassy security that seemingly led to tragedy in the first place. They knew this and still spent millions of dollars and thousands of hours pursuing a boogy man that doesn't exist. President Obama didn't 'snap'.
      There was the failure to pass a budget and the subsequent shut down of the government. This was largely due to the republicans refusal to negotiate. Even though the right ring news ( fox so called news, for one) reported over and over again that it was the democrats that wouldn't negotiate, even though it was public knowledge and easily verified that it was the republicans who wouldn't show up to meetings to work out the budget. Then had a ridiculous photo taken showing the cookie cutter republicans sitting on one side of a conference table with the other side of the table empty. They thought that the American people were to stupid to remember what they said and did from day to day. Unfortunately in some cases they were correct. President Obama didn't snap.

     Last but by no means least is the Bowe Bergdahl story that is still ongoing.
      Barack Obama was not coddled all of his life. He  was raised by a single mother and was lucky to have a supportive family. He achieved all that he has because he is an uncommonly intelligent man devoted to trying to make the country a better place. He is not perfect by any means. Though I support our President and have respect for the office, I have real misgivings about the NSAs spying on United States citizens. I have serious concerns about drone warfare. The fact is that the most anti-American behavior is being perpetrated by same people that are freaking out, hair on fire, war mongering, hate spewing far right.
