"There was a time not too long ago in this country that we used to walk through walls of fire to make sure we werent funding Hamas or Hezbollah. I have news for ya: there are a lot of universities that are just as dangerous with indoctrination of our children as these terror groups are in Iran or North Korea. With the poll numbers continuing to slide for the new health care bill, our Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius just said, and I quote, "We need a [video: RE-EDUCATION in fullscreen boldface] re-education process [video of Beck resumes] on healthcare." Oh. Well, how very Kim Jong-Il of you. Or dare I say it? Mao is the "in" one now, isnt he? Re-education. — America, while you have been working hard, while you have been busting your butt, while you have thought we all generally agree on things, we have been setting up re-education camps. We call them universities."

"Glenn Beck: And it goes nowhere if you go onto compassion, compassion, compassion, compassion or well, They shouldve put it out, what is the fire department for? No, what is the 75 dollars for. To keep the firemen available, to keep the firetrucks running, to pay for the fire department to have people employed to put the fire out. If you dont pay your 75 dollars then that hurts the fire department. They cant use those resources, and you would be sponging off your neighbors 75 dollars if they put out your neighbors house and you didnt pay for it — I mean, if your neighbor didnt pay for it, you did, and they put out their house — your neighbor is sponging off of your 75 dollars. Pat Gray: And as soon as they put out the fire of somebody who didnt pay the 75 bucks, (in unison) no one Pat Gray: will pay the 75 dollars. Glenn Beck: Why would you pay the 75 dollars, you dont have to, theyre gonna put it out anyway? Nobody pays attention."

"History is a strange experience. The world is quite small now; but history is large and deep. Sometimes you can go much farther by sitting in your own home and reading a book of history, than by getting onto a ship or an airplane and traveling a thousand miles. When you go to Mexico City through space, you find it a sort of cross between modern Madrid and modern Chicago, with additions of its own; but if you go to Mexico City through history, back only 500 years, you will find it as distant as though it were on another planet: inhabited by cultivated barbarians, sensitive and cruel, highly organized and still in the Copper Age, a collection of startling, of unbelievable contrasts."

"As soon as a thought or word becomes a tool, one can dispense with actually ‘thinking’ it, that is, with going through the logical acts involved in verbal formulation of it. As has been pointed out, often and correctly, the advantage of mathematics—the model of all neo-positivistic thinking—lies in just this ‘intellectual economy.’ Complicated logical operations are carried out without actual performance of the intellectual acts upon which the mathematical and logical symbols are based. … Reason … becomes a fetish, a magic entity that is accepted rather than intellectually experienced."
