Fun:Glenn Beck Responds to Virginia O'Hanlon

Hi, Gang. Have you seen the news stories about this supposed "Virginia O’Hanlon" letter from the other day? I have. And it got me thinking about how I’ve been letting you down by not talking about one of the great truths I should have talked about a long time ago.

Gosh, I’ve prayed and prayed over this. I’ve struggled with this because I knew that this would be unpopular. But, gosh darn it, the truth has to be told at some point no matter how much some people will attack me for it.

Today we’re going to discuss… Santa Claus.

Yes, that jolly old elf who comes once a year with gifts for all. You ask Santa for what you want and he gives it to you. You don’t have to work for it. You don’t have to pay for it. He just… gives it to you.

My God, am I the only one who sees the insidious nature of this? Am I the only one who recognizes the danger in this? Well, it seems that I am, but come with me, gang, and I’ll show you what’s wrong with Santa Claus.

Santa Claus, my friends, was one of the most insidious creations of the early progressive movement. They knew that they had to get them while they’re young… get them while their minds could be molded and twisted with ease. And what better way to do it than to convince children that they could essentially get something for nothing out of life?

Santa Claus had existed before his transformation by the early progressives of the 20th Century, but the Santa you see before then was vastly different than the Santa Commie who came after and became ingrained in the public consciousness. And like so many things it traces it’s roots back to… Woodrow Wilson.

You see, Woodrow Wilson had a good friend who ran the New York Times and another who ran the Saturday Evening Post. With their help he was able to create the image and the idea that the early progressives needed. The two papers began to run pictures around Christmas time of a newer image of Santa. But even here they couldn’t help but gloat as they hid their true intent in plain sight. Santa wore many outfits before then with many colors of clothing. He wore white, green, brown and even black. But the progressives Santa? Red. Communist red.

And so the story was being pushed even harder now onto the public. Christmas was no longer about Jesus. It was about a kindly old man with a white beard who would come into your lives and give you whatever you wanted whether you actually earned it or not. Hmmm… Now why does that sound like something else… We’ll get back to that.

Now there was of course resistance to this bastardization of Santa Claus and Christmas. America had just seen the results of fascism up close in Europe and wanted no part of that ideology. We elected Harding and Coolidge in an effort to undo the damage being done by the early American Progressives, but they were hard at work in other areas.

Enter Coca-Cola. In 1927 the Coca-Cola Company entered the war on American values by taking Santa Commie and making him their annual Christmas advertising campaign. So effective was this campaign that people today actually believe that Coca-Cola created the modern image we have of Santa. Oh, how I wish it were that innocent.

By 1933 we had elected uber-progressive Franklin Roosevelt into office. With the progressives back in power and the Great Depression on the horizon the Santa agenda was pushed harder than ever and the Coca-Cola campaign went into high gear.

Now, you may be asking yourselves what they hoped to accomplish with this. What could they have hoped to achieve back then with such a simple device? As I’ve told you many times before, the progressives don’t do things for immediate results. They know that they would be rejected outright so they work slowly, meticulously and take away from true American values bit by bit over time. Stay with me and you’ll understand how this is being used today and what image is slowly being used to advance the agenda.

The Great Depression hit in full force and the progressives went into high gear with their “Santa Plan.” All around you people were seeing what they were told was a failure of Capitalism. No one was telling them that this was a carefully constructed depression caused by the progressives. But a lot of people were telling their kids every Christmas to believe in Santa.

Capitalism was “failing” all around them and the children only understood that the system was hurting mommy and daddy. But along comes Christmas and a jolly old man with a beard who just… gives you things. Don’t worry about working for something or paying for something was the message. There was a man who would come in and give you what you couldn’t afford to buy for yourself.

And parents were encouraged to tell their children to go and “ask Santa” for what they wanted. Children are so innocent and sweet. They asked Santa whenever they could. Some of them even sent letters and some would ask Santa before bedtime for the gifts they wanted; almost… praying to Santa.

And so, throughout the hard times engineered by the early American progressives, it was reinforced in the children to look for a handout every December 25th to make up for the hard times they were going through the rest of the year. They couldn’t afford it and they thought their parents couldn’t afford it, but here comes Santa Claus to “redistribute the wealth.”

Do you see the insidious nature in this yet, gang?

You have progressives pushing this false idol into the minds of the children. When they want something, something they can’t get and think mommy and daddy can’t get them, they even… pray to this false idol. And the progressives have rigged the popular culture to encourage parents to encourage their children to do this. If you’re a good parent you… lie to your children. No, you don’t tell them that life is hard or that you sometimes have to sacrifice want you want to live within your means. No, you lie to them and tell them that they can get something for nothing by praying to an old man with a beard and and he’ll just… give it to you. he’ll come along and make it all better.

Now let’s fast forward over the decades. The progressives slowly imposed their will on other areas of life. They did things that were all for “our own good.”

One of these things has been the Health-Nazi movement that we’ve been seeing so much more of lately. How does this tie in to Santa? Let me tell you.

Slowly, over time, the progressives have changed the popular image of so many things to make them “more healthy and acceptable.” Have you seen a modern picture of Santa? He’s being slimmed down. Universities, the factories of progressive thought, have even issues papers on why a fat Santa would be in poor health. Slowly the jolly old elf with a belly like a bowl full of jelly has been getting transformed into… a thinner old man with a beard.

Here’s where the image issue I mentioned when discussing the Coca-Cola campaign comes into play and you see the long term planning that the progressives use.

They’ve engineered another great “failure” of the capitalist system just in time for the most liberal progressive administration ever to come in and “transform” our country. And the biggest support he has is from the youth movement. Coincidence? Don’t count on it.

You see, the youth of today have grown up believing that a man with a beard would just give them the wealth they wanted if they just asked for it. They’ve also been been disillusioned by their parents telling them lies when they were young. This was an important part of the plan you see as now when their parents try and tell them that you can’t have something for nothing and that you can’t just expect someone to give you something… Well, that goes against what mommy and daddy told them when they were young and, hey, mommy and daddy lied to you before so why believe them now.

No, you turn to the old thin guy with a beard for help. You turn to that comforting figure with your hand out. You turn to that thin old man with a beard who promises you something for nothing like mommy and daddy said he would give. You turn willingly and hopefully towards… Your Uncle Sam.

One hundred years in the making and the most insidious progressive plot ever. From the early days of American progressives like Woodrow Wilson to the man who sits in office now, Barrack Obama. They’ve conditioned our youth for the ultimate handout artist; Uncle Santa Sam.

The point and tell us that capitalism is failing and the health system is failing and the regulatory system is too week and that all the answers are found in the man with the white beard; Uncle Sam. From Santa to Sam in one hundred years. That’s how long they worked and that’s how evil their tricks are. Indoctrinating generations of children and getting society to lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas.

But now you know. Now I’ve told you the truth and the truth will set you free. Now you can go and tell others. Please, I am begging you; tell others and let them know the truth as well.

And tomorrow when you wake up on Christmas morning you can celebrate it by remembering the true meanings of that day. Spend time with your family. Spend time with your loved ones. Spend time with your friends. And give the gifts that really count. Give the gifts that really mean something. Give the gifts that will be there for them when the revolution and the collapse come.
