Glenn Beck is no doubt also very annoyed at misreadings of Aristotle.
Note total absence of syllogistic reasoning and arguing from first principles: http://classics.mit.edu/Aristotle/physics.1.i.html
Not that reading Aristotle in English (or Latin for that matter) is actually possible, since he tortures the Greek language, twisting old words and coining new ones. Just like Heidegger. English translations of Aristotle are hilarious. Like, there is no concept of "essence" in Aristotle. There is the "to ti en einai," the "what it was going to be," which is rather different -- and if you note it is a temporal concept that implies change (the to ti en einai being revealed after the process of change), which is rather the opposite of an essence.
