Basically, someone out there realized that all the survivalists, gold hoarders, and anti-government wackjobs had finally all aquired cable and decided to tap into thier audience. My father-in-law started raving about Beck to me yesterday.

I refer you all to 2 Maccabees 2:18:
For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness; but our confidence is in the Almighty who at a Beck can cast down both them that come against us, and also all the world.
