DAVID VON DREHLE:
You know, that's the — yes, that's the great mystery of Glenn Beck.These things, these projects of his, seem to have the sort of made-up-on-the-fly kind of quality to them.They are always built around sort of great, but vague concepts like honor.We're all in favor of honor.
You know, the Constitution is at the heart of his 9/12 project.Well, you know, most Americans are in favor of the Constitution.And Beck is always promising in his shows that he's going to bring more and more definition to these ideas.But, somehow, that part of it never quite happens.
And I think he understands that, the more he defines these ideas, the more people are going to disagree with them. And, so, he's trying to build the biggest tent he can in his — in his niche and draw in as many people and hold
them as long as he can.So, some people think it's about religion.Some people think it's about the Second Amendment.Some people think it's about the Democrats.Beck will often say that he's — he — he hates the Republicans as much as the Democrats.So, he keeps it deliberately vague.
