If you don't want to hear me be all right winged, and political go now. Run far far away.
I like Glenn Beck. I like his radio show. But I LOVE his TV show. I find it to be so interesting, informative, and it makes me laugh. And contemplate. I watched tonight's show, after watching President Obama's speech tonight. I was grateful to hear what Glenn Beck had to say.
I worry that our country which is heading towards a socialist nation will go even farther and become a communist nation. I worry about what my children are being taught in school. I worry about these stupid bailouts. I believe the companies should be allowed to fail. If the government keeps bailing them out they will not learn, and the government gets more and more control of our nation. I worry about where our future is headed. I worry about the world my children are growing up in.
I don't believe in the SCHIPS bill that was signed today. I do not believe it will help our country. Health Insurance is not a right. We are not entitled to it. It is a benefit. I do not believe that allowing states to allow illegal aliens health insurance is the right route. I do not believe that taxing cigarettes up the ying yang is the way to pay for this. And I do not support smoking. I do not believe that children should qualify as people under thirty. If that was right since I am under thirty I could get this. I am a grown up. I have children of my own. I have a home, I can do things. This isn't the government's responsibility. Not at all. It is mine.
I feel like the drive to do better, work harder is gone. Why don't we all just go sit on the system? What are we teaching people if we keep giving more and more handouts. I believe these programs are there for a purpose. They are there to help, to provide relief when it is needed. They are not there to sustain people forever.
I get so irritated back home everyday at the park they served free lunches through the school district. My tax dollars hard at work. How is that even right? The kids aren't in school in the summer. And can't people feed their own families? Or do we need to rely on the government for that too? What happened to being self-reliant? To being a capitalist nation.
I believe in the America our Father's founded. I believe in being God-Fearing people. I believe in our Constitution. And if you believe these things send a picture of yourself to wesurroundthem@gmail.com and Glenn Beck is going to put pictures up of those who believe these things.
And lastly I know not everyone who reads this will agree with me. That is fine. I still like you. And the great thing is we are able to believe what we choose. And it is okay. I know people are down on their luck right now. And they need help. But it shouldn't be a way of life.

i'm glad we can agree to disagree.
at least on some points. i do agree that i'm concerned about the direction this nation is headed. i also agree that we need to get off our duffs and learn to work hard.
I posted this exact same thing earlier today. You said it much better then me though. I stink at words and my thoughts.
My sentiments exactly, Lee. You said it perfectly. No fancy words. Just honest statements.
so hear I am feeling like an idiot. I don't know anything about any of this cause you know even though I like Glen Beck I never listen to his show. Plus, I didn't know there was a speech today. Which as much as I would love to continue enjoying my ignorance of not having to listen to, I now must go find it and watch it cause otherwise I will have to continue to feel like an irresponsible voter (except I didn't vote for him!).
But other than that I totally agree with everything you said. It is very frustrating how things are going. I need to stop pulling the ostrich and get involved again. It just feels pointless right now.
I'm repenting. I'm going to go search and watch right now. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
I have no wing; I'm very moderate.
I agree with some portions of some of Beck's nine points.
I can completely understand the nation wanting to try a different way. I don't know where it will lead us but the best I can do is stand by my ideals and strengthen my family.
The best we can do is teach our children to be better. I worry that they are growing up with a sense of entitlement like everyone else.
I worry about all these things too. Especially the bailouts and "stimulus" packages that aren't going to do much more than destroy the private sector and expand the already huge government.
I LOVE Glenn Beck! Love his radio program and LOVE his TV show!
Your thoughts and my thoughts are in perfect alignment.
I like your brain.
Well Said. AMEN!
I missed the speech but caught the clips this more. I wish more people realized what a bad idea the bailout are. They are like trying to take the band aid off slowly. It needs to come off its better to do it quickly and then recover.
You're right, Lee.
It's sad that pretty soon nobody will be able to deny it because of the state that our country will be in.
