Glenn Beck Endorses Socialism

I was watching Glenn Beck's keynote speech at CPAC (embedded below for your viewing displeasure) and I was shocked to hear this gem at the halfway point:
"I educated myself. I went to the Library where books are free."
Then, Beck followed it up with this statement a few seconds later, hammering it home:
"My education was free, and I'm proud of that."

I had to watch that bit again, because I wasn't sure that I had heard it right. Especially since these "conservatives" were applauding. It's at about 32:40 if you don't want to watch the whole thing.

What kind of true, bootstrappy conservative uses and endorses dirty, commie, socialist things like free public libraries?




So, you tell me. Am I crazy? Or does Glenn Beck approve of Socialism (at least, when he benefits from it)?
