While I think he gets a little too emotional at times, Much of Glenn Beck's research is decent and useful. I wish more people would separate out the emotion from the facts, and consider what is being shared.
I'd really hate to lose our freedoms due to avowed communist Czars and Nancy Pelosi leading Obama's program.
Then again, I think that if they cause the collapse of our nation, we Elders will step forward and save the Constitution, developing Zion as we rebuild the nation.

Can someone explain this "Czars" business to me in one paragraph or less? I haven't been following Beck very closely lately.

Beck calls the new Special Advisors to the President 'czars'. In his own words, he describes the power they hold thusly:
"They don't need to be confirmed by the Senate; they rarely go before committees; they can claim "executive privilege" when asked to testify, and they're accountable to no one but the president himself."
It's a way to circumvent the checks and balances of power in the American government, basically.
(Hope that's concise and accurate enough! The link has Beck's basic definition of czars; if you have 5 minutes or so and want a more complete answer.)
In regards to Beck's volatile emotions: I think a man like Beck- truly passionate, humble, and well-informed enough to know what he's talking about- is just what a lot of people in this country need to get involved in what the government's doing again (beyond the griping and murmuring against the government). The phrase used lately is that recent events have "awakened a sleeping giant" (of true patriotism) in the American people- I think Beck had a lot to do with that.

the correct quote is...
"The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'"

Another danger about the Czars is they do not have to go through a FBI background check. Van Jones is a self-proclaimed radical marxist, who would not have gotten past the security clearance check. Of course, given the people Obama hangs out with (Rev Wright, Weather Underground terrorists, etc), HE couldn't have passed a background check, either.
My issue is: none of these people have had to make an oath to defend the Constitution. The President can continue speaking for it, while others under him are seeking to subvert it.
