The Common Sense Show – by Dave Hodges
Howard Bloom, Yale literature professor and cultural critic, recently stated “I am 79 years old and I have never seen this country in such a bad state. It is madness. What we are seeing is the fall of the Roman Empire, only now it is the fall of America, the glory of our Empire.”
Ebola threatens to sweep across America. The United States sits on the brink of World War III. The economy is teetering on collapse. The Chinese are on the verge of owning your possessions and you and this arrangement was agreed to by people who were elected to “protect and defend the Constitution”. The UN is poised to be in charge of the demise of this country when martial law is declared. The eternal “bail outs” have robbed this generation and future generations of any chance at financial solvency. America has more people on welfare than are working full time. Election fraud is rampant. American students continue to fall further behind our international cohorts. The average person cannot even name one thing that the Obama administration has done to improve the condition of the middle class, yet, he got re-elected. One visit, for one day to Steve Quayle’s website and one radio broadcast from Doug and Joe Hagmann, or from Sheila Zilinski should be enough to summon the spirits of Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine and we should be witnessing the creation of a new Declaration of Independence and a re-creation of the pamphlet entitled Common Sense, for which my radio show and website are named.
Is There Any Life On This Planet?
As I look at America’s daunting and mounting dilemmas, I cannot help wondering, “Isn’t it time to get mad, mad as hell”? In response to my multi-part series on the unaddressed dangers posed by Ebola, many of you have written to me and expressed some very heartfelt consternation of the present set of affairs. Yet, nobody does anything!
There can be little doubt that America needs a rallying call to action if we are to reverse the destructive path we have embarked upon. The middle class is in desperate need of a spokesperson, somebody who could awaken the masses and spur an apathetic America to action. Who could provide this much needed clarion call? Will it be Glenn Beck? Or, maybe, Rush Limbaugh will heed the call and step forward. NOT LIKELY! Perhaps it will be Hannity. No way! Every one of these media figures are too mainstream and too entrenched in the existing system to effectively take the torch and lead America out of the abyss that it finds itself in. What if America did find its spokesperson? What would it sound like? What form would it take? Right now, the best America can do comes from a movie character and this character was introduced to movie goers over 35 years ago. I am speaking about Howard Beale.
Who could ever forget the classic move Network and the mythical broadcaster, Howard Beale, and his impassioned attempt to get America “as mad as hell” and not “to take it anymore!”
What if Howard Beale were to attempt to call America to action today? What would it sound like? It might go something like the following:
“I don’t have to tell you that things are bad. Everybody knows things are bad. We are in the greatest depression of all time. Several hundred thousand Americans lost their jobs last month and several million more afraid of losing their jobs. Thanks to the FED, the dollar buys a penny’s worth; your local bank is only still open through the forced “generosity” of your hard-earned tax dollars in the form of bailouts in the biggest wealth distribution plan in all of recorded history”.
A modern day Beale would go on to say “
We know the air is unfit to breathe, we are being sprayed by Chemtrails and our genetically modified food is unfit to eat. And we sit watching our TV’s as some local newscaster tells us that the Dow is approaching 6,000, the FDIC and Social Security are near insolvency. Because of the NDAA, the government can secretly snatch you off the street and nobody knows what to do about it. We know things are bad—worse than bad—they’re crazy! It’s like everything, everywhere is going crazy. So, we don’t go out anymore because we cannot afford the photo radar tickets and the toll road fees. We sit in our soon-to-be foreclosed homes and slowly the world we’re living in is getting smaller, and all we say is, “Please, at least leave us alone in our living rooms. Let me have my satellite TV and my MP3 players as well as my smartphone, and I won’t say anything. Well, I’m not going to leave you alone. I want you to get mad! I don’t want you to protest, the new DARPA weapons of citizen subjugation that would render protest effort to be futile. I don’t want you to riot, NORTHCOM and DHS lie in wait. I don’t want you to write to your Congressman, because they are already bought and paid for by the forces that are already at work trying to enslave you. I don’t know what to do about the depression, the Russians and the Chinese and neither does Obama. I also don’t know what to do about inflation, your lost pension and the crime in the streets.” All I know is that first, you’ve got to get mad. You’ve gotta say, “I’m a human being, (bleep)! My life has value!”
“So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out and yell, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!!“
Fortunately, most Americans are angry, terribly angry as evidenced by Congress’ 7% approval rating. Unfortunately, most of America does not know where to direct their anger or who is responsible for our declining fortunes and we are quickly running out of time.
To the sheep of America, there is nothing more that anyone can tell you. My media colleagues have identified the great usurpers of the Constitution. Thanks to many in the media, the names of the robber barons are on display for all to see as well as their crimes against humanity. There is nothing more that I can write or that Doug and Joe Hagmann can broadcast. We, in the media have made the information known to anyone who takes the time to look. If you do not get it by now, it is not likely that you ever will as you have likely accepted your enslavement with a smile.
Why Isn’t America “As Mad As Hell” and Unwilling to “Take It Anymore”?
I dont know , but no one has come to interview me about it, im sure they would come away with a different view, if they took the time.
“Why Isn’t America “As Mad As Hell” and Unwilling to “Take It Anymore”?”
I’ve been wondering that same thing for over a year or two now. It still boggles my mind.
They’re all in line for the iPhone 6, and haven’t looked into mundane matters.

Ah! That’s it. 😉
Because Americans are too drugged up and exhausted from working themselves to death to care. One pastor also put forth the “God’s thumb”
theory. Basically God is keeping us from acting until we have the advantage.
Perhaps one of the reasons that so many ameriKans haven’t done anything is because of the police state they see roll out at the hint of trouble in body armor and MRAP’s compliment of uncle traitor. They read about cops and sheriffs and DHS,federal marshals etc. shooting the sheep for next to nothing being able to view it on TV by the communist media. No knock raids and illegal roadside searches drive the tyranny home for all to see.SWAt teams for non violent offenders and pig farmers as well as milk dairies too. Many are either scared to death or simply idiots who still believe that the voting booth is magical and can fix this mess.Some are so ignorant they still think there are really 2 parties working FOR them,now that is true insanity. Just take your SSRI’s and SHFU! This will never end without a real revolution in this country and all but the brainwashed know this.How can anyone think the police stare they have assembled is for the protection of the citizens,it is for the total control of the citizens and it is going to get a lot worse very soon. Paid merc’s are coming to a city near you soon.
Okay, Mr. Hodges, here is why you have not seen Americans do anything about the criminal psychopathic elites:
1. 15 percent of Americans are on anti-depressant drugs/steroids/psychotropic drugs. Do not expect anything from these folks
2. 25 percent (or more) are Christian Zionists/evangelicals/dispensationalists/dominionist Christians who are waiting for the “rapture” and have no clue about the true meaning of Romans 13, the most misinterpreted and misunderstood chapter of the Bible and pay way too much attention to their shyster preachers like Hagee and Osteen.
3. About 50 percent of Americans are either elderly, children, welfare recipients (excluding the elderly), or government workers, all of whom rely nearly completely on the government and will fight the govt. only as a last resort when all else is gone (or they lose their benefits/jobs).
4. About 5 percent benefit from the system being wealthy or very wealthy, or are minions of these elites (including Congress, etc. political minions and media whores)
That leaves 5 percent, Dave. And that 5 percent really really really does NOT want YOU for our leader! (and for you true patriots out there, please no Rick McLaren types!)
