Jack the Ripper

Glenn Beck Rips Another One: There is a scene in the movie ‘Time After Time’ where Jack the Ripper has arrived in a time machine from the past and is suddenly in the Tenderloin area of San Francisco in the late 1970’s, where all manner of below-the-belt culture is playing out – prostitution, drugs, the threat of random violence, and all of it causing a smile to set on the face of this man who is now in a world that perfectly fits his hellish and criminal soul. He is in his element. In the sickness of it all he can see everything he ever was, ever wanted to be, and will ever be.

Glenn Beck finds himself in this situation in 2009 – arriving from a fuzzy alcohol past to find a chorus of pain and aesthetic confusion. And, like Jack, he will play his part without pause and in full measure, feeding on fear and feeding fear, killing human spirit in trade for the personal sensations of greed, hatred and perversion. He will live on as long as conservatives need him to provide the unthinking gangs needed to stop any hope of spiritual cohesion and shared humanity.

Glenn Beck, like Jack, is a driven man. If you wonder why a man would do such things, wonder first why Jack kills.
