For those of you who didn’t know, today was the final episode of Glenn Beck on the Fox News Channel. I wanted to take some time in using this blog to thank Glenn Beck for his tireless effort in pursuit of bringing a different perspective to politics. I can’t imagine how many enemies he has made on both the right and left. It really was a breath of fresh air to see someone stand up for what’s right regardless of the heat he has taken for it.
He was (and still is) a polarizing figure. He questions the motives on both sides of the aisle. This is what makes him so dangerous and why he has come under such relentless attacks. He has exposed how dirty of a game politics truly is, and yes, it is on both sides of the aisle. We have allowed a President to take our freedom away as long as it was a Republican…or as long as it’s a Democrat. Government ran by a republican or democrat is the enemy of freedom. It is like fire, if kept small and controlled it is great, but left to grow out of control it will destroy everything in its path. Glenn has helped to awaken us to this. I believe more and more people on both sides of the aisle are starting to realize that it doesn’t matter who the President is, we end up with more debt, more wars, higher prices, and a bigger government. There has been an awakening.
For the first time I don’t have much interest in the Presidential election coming up. I guess after doing my own research and watching Glenn I have come to the conclusion that politicians will do anything to get elected. That doesn’t mean I won’t vote. I will vote for the person who wants to take power away from the government. I refuse to vote for anyone who says government is the answer to our problems. That has been the attitude that has brought us to the brink of collapse. Putting our faith in politicians will ALWAYS lead to disappointment. The answer does not lie with politicians, it lies with us…the people. Before fixing our government we must fix ourselves. We must become the people we were born to be, not the people we have allowed ourselves to become.
At our core we are good and decent people. But our pursuit for “stuff” has set us on a crash course. We are told that without everyone spending recklessly our economy will collapse. If this is the case, I say let it collapse. A society built on buying things of no value is a society I don’t want to be a part of.
We must become the type of people that can be depended on to help others in their time of need. Next time you see a woman with a flat tire on the side of the road, pull over and help her. If your neighbor needs help, lend a hand. Instead of buying your son a video game he can indulge himself in, buy him a baseball glove and spend quality time playing catch. God and the family has always been the foundation that builds strong communities; we must focus on that before we can change our country.
Glenn Beck has started his own online T.V. broadcast. He has NO investors and is relying solely on paid memberships in order to fund his new venture. This way he has free reign to speak the truth, he does not have to worry about sponsors. I admire Glenn for stepping away from a platform like Fox, where financially he was doing great. He himself has said that his new venture could be bankrupt in a year if he doesn’t get tons of members. I encourage anyone reading this to support him in his new venture. You can get access to his T.V program for $4.95 per month. Go to GlennBeck.com for details. It’s very easy to hook up your laptop computer to your T.V, all you need is an S-Video cable and an audio cable. You also need a T.V. new enough that has these connections.
You can bet that if Glenn is successful with his new venture that the push to regulate the internet will increase dramatically. At the moment there truly is freedom on the internet. The government is salivating to get their hands on it. We must not allow this. They will clothe it under the disguise of protecting your children from pornography, or keeping your banking information secure. We must not fall for this. It is nothing more than another power grab.
I always thought it must be tough with a person of his character and beliefs to live in New York. I recently moved to Texas because I just couldn’t live in a state like CA that is destroying itself from within. I had to live out my principles. Even as scary as it was for my wife and I to quit our well paying jobs and come here with no employment waiting for us. Turns out the New York Daily News reported today that Glenn signed a lease in Dallas, TX. He is finally making the move from New York to Texas. Amen to that. We could always use more jobs and freedom loving people here in Texas.
Glenn's closure to his Fox T.V. show is not the end...with people like you supporting him, this is only the beginning.
Great words of wisdom. It is so freshing to read an article written to honor someone, while also reaching out to bring others to the truth. Thank you for writing this article. I first saw Glenn Beck years ago, on CNN, and was surprised at what I heard. While I try to listen to the liberal point of view (the reason I was watching CNN) I readily identified with Glenn's point of view and that was prior to this administration, the White House czars, the takeovers and bailouts. Glenn is really thinking "outside-the-box" and I'm grateful young people like you are becoming students of history and our nation, and thining "outside-the-box" as well. I would also like to take this opportunity to let others know about our freedoms disappearing on a daily basis. 1. While renewing my medical insurance this year, I was told that my employer (who provides us with privately funded insurance) would have to send my personal information to either the Medicare or MediCal (Medicaid) office to be in compliance wih the Affordable Healthcare Act. (ObamaCare) How can any of our congressmen vote for a bill that is in violation of the 4th Amendment which states the "the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated..." I have no business with those government agencies who unconstitutionally seized my "papers". We all now why they wanted them though, right? The new IRS agents hired and funded by the Affordable Healthcare Act will make sure those with private insurance will help fund ObamaCare (spread the wealth). It is hard to believe how our government officials who take an oath to uphold the Constitution can so boldly be in violation of it! 2. I heard on the news today that the administration may have found a way to increase the debt ceiling with executive order from the president and he doesn't need a vote from congress. How many more things can he bypass congress for with his executive order? And the EPA can shut down anything it wants through REGULATIOS! If congress is bypassed, WE THE PEOPLE, are bypassed because we will have No representation! When are we going to wake up Americans to our loss of Freedoms?
