Yes, you got it, now we can't even co-exist with this guy...
Progressivism is the cancer in America and it is eating our Constitution. And it was designed to eat the Constitution...It must be cut out of the system because they cannot co-exist. And you don't cure cancer by - well, I'm just going to give you a little bit of cancer. You must eradicate it.
Where did the progressives go; where did they come from? All of a sudden, I'm not a liberal, I'm a progressive...Every time they wake America up to their policies, they have to change their names...They're running out of names.

I rarely listen to what Beck has to say because it doesn't touch reality often. I hear him say things like, only Conservatives make a real living from the tv in our family room. My husband is a glutton, he watches Fox News to torture himself.
But really, there is a point where I can't ignore such statements because they go beyond the pale.
The whole point of the Constitution Beck is that I can think whatever I please, even if it offends you to the very core.
The fact is, the Constitution protects my rights from people like you!
Some quotes...
This is the disease. This is the disease in America. It’s not just spending, it’s not just taxes, it’s not just corruption. It is progressivism.
...
Progressivism is the cancer in America and it is eating our Constitution. And it was designed to eat the Constitution. To progress past the Constitution.
...
Revolution or evolution, that’s the difference. Revolution or evolution. Well, there’s no difference except one requires a gun and the other does it slowly, piece by piece, eating away at it, to the point to where now our people in Congress, they don’t even care. Have they even read – and I know they’re used to not reading things that are two-thousand pages – could they read this? It’s only four!

It is big government – it’s a socialist utopia. And we need to address it as if it is a cancer. It must be cut out of the system because they cannot co-exist. And you don’t cure cancer by – well, I’m just going to give you a little bit of cancer. You must eradicate it. It cannot co-exist. And we need big thinkers, and brave people with spines who can make the case – that can actually say to Americans: look it’s going to be hard – it’s going to be hard but it’s going to be okay. We’re going to make it.
That's right, it's progressivism that's the cancer, not the divisive language, not the racism, the chalkboard and the lies. It's not the sexism and the half truths or the dismantling of the public trust. It's not the pulling part of the middle class or the trickle down of poverty.
It's not the fact that people have been ground down into little bits and told that this is the best we can do for them.
You are part of the problem Glenn Beck, not part of the solution and you continue to be as long as you write on the chalk board and paint others with your two tone brush as a "cancer".
And even though I see you as part of the problem, you have every right to speak your mind. But I have every right to call you out on it.
Progressivism is not just a movement it's a group of people like me, who speak our minds when we see injustice. You are calling for the eradication of a movement and a group of individuals with your speech and it makes me sick down to the marrow of my bones.
Progressivism is the cancer in America and it is eating our Constitution. And it was designed to eat the Constitution...It must be cut out of the system because they cannot co-exist. And you don't cure cancer by - well, I'm just going to give you a little bit of cancer. You must eradicate it.
