Have you ever heard of "Beck Rights"?

This is from my hometown. Ultra right wing, ultra christian, and ultra, well lets just say I want to keep this thread up here. I haven't heard one intelligent thing come out of there since they started.

flowerchild, what is it that you find unintelligent, and why do you want to keep it "up here"?

Not a clue what you're talking about, so... off to have a look.

I have been following them, since they opened up in my town. I find that they have a habit of saying one thing, while doing the complete opposite. Like recomending cuts to education, meanwhile, they want more money for whatever project they are being paid to sponser and promote. Over the years, I have found many instances where they either misrepresent the facts, or just leave them out.They call themselves a think tank, but never are willing to listen to any view opposite of their own. Over the years, I have known several people that have worked there, and they don't practice what they preach.
