    Video: Glenn Beck Cries Remembering 'Simpler Time' in America

    Glenn Beck decided to illustrate a "simpler time" in America by showing classic ads for the likes of Coca-Cola and Kodak. Not unpredictably, it ended it tears and strange analogies. The Huffington Post summarizes:

    "These examples of Americana were so moving to Beck that he just couldn't help himself; he begin to tear up (not for the first time). His monologue, which was interrupted a few times by his tears, began with the wisdom that politicians can't take us back to that simpler time; they can only take us farther away. It then devolved into a strange and extended analogy of America as a teenage kid who got dragged to a party he didn't really want to go to, and where his friends poured beer on him, and that ended with dad doing what's right."
