While Republicans use people like Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and Fox News to spread the hate filled fear against the President of the United States that has gripped the nation, they are now criticizing Hollywood for “doing Obama’s bidding” to promote giving back to your community through volunteerism.

Glenn Beck is no better than Osama Bin Laden with his propaganda spreading agenda. How ridiculous is this. I never thought I would live to see the first black president nor did I believe some people could get more ignorant than racism. I was wrong on both levels.

I briefly watched a tirade Glenn Beck went on, calling this, supposedly, Obama/Hollywood connection a level of communism by stating “Well, this is fantastic. It’s almost like we’re living in Mao’s China right now.”

Schools refusing to air a conversation Obama had on the first day of school requesting that children stay in school, irrational people hating the message because they hate the messenger, regardless of whether the message is relevant or not. The more people like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh talk, the more they seem out of control, straight crazy to me and I question the media that allows this fanatical rampage to continue.

With all the people who are unemployed, doing something positive with their time could help their mental and emotional perceptions of self as they look for work. This is, in fact, the perfect time for people to get out and volunteer with nothing but time on their hands. It beats sitting around doing nothing or sitting around listening to the madness that is allowed to parade as news coming out of the mouths of people like Rush and Glenn.

What the hell is wrong with people? Beck jumps around in his seat, uses sarcasm, acts overly animated as though he is a child as he delivers his childish rant. Does he not realize how foolish he looks as he attempts to make volunteerism seem like a bad thing, a form of propaganda on the same level as communism?

Beck rants that celebrities are coming together to make it ‘cool’ to volunteer and even Disney is getting into the act by giving a free day at the park. While Beck claims this is all fine, the thing that irritates him is that he feels the call for volunteering comes from Obama and nothing Obama says or does is relevant or worth acting on.

This is way too irrational to me, and that’s putting it mildly. This says more about who Glenn Beck is than who Obama is.

While the Entertainment Industry Foundation (EIF), a Hollywood charitable organization, who is behind the push for volunteerism states that this was a thought of theirs, to promote volunteering, as early as last year, I say it does not matter whose idea it was because the idea is a good one.

With some neighborhoods mimicking war zones, kids running wild, teenage violence at a high, people should be volunteering just on this level, with kids. People should want to volunteer in their communities because only you can change where you live.

You have a choice to make, follow Glenn Beck and his irrational, hate filled rants while sitting around complaining about the economy, health care reform, the neighborhood you live in, the violence that is taking over that neighborhood, children today or take a stand and volunteer, make a difference in someone’s life, build stronger, safer communities. It’s up to you. Take the first step by visiting iParticipate to find volunteer opportunities near you.

And that’s the way I see it!!!!
