Default Glenn Beck: The New Republic

Yes, another Glenn Beck thread. I think the quota's been reached for this month, but if I can push the envelope a little...

All this week, Beck's been doing a segment called 'The New Republic', discussing some of (what he thinks are) the more important changes happening in the American Government. This includes the Czars and who they are, the national debt and current recession, further governmental regulation of the media, the civilian military force, and more. The entire section is based on three principles:

-Question With Boldness
-Hold to the Truth
-Speak Without Fear

He puts all the 'good stuff' (the pertinent questions he asked, segments on what he said, etc.) all on one page- The New Republic- and I think it's a very good read.

Interestingly enough, the White House itself (okay, a representative in the White House) has called Beck during the show more than one time this week. Beck's made some serious, serious allegations against the current czars (more accurately, he exposes the czar's backgrounds). The only response he's gotten is the White House rep saying "Don't call them czars- they're Special Advisors".

Well I have always known Obama's Stance on his marxist an socialist ideals. So this doesn't surprise me. Read his books. It's all there. I knew as soon as he was elected you may be in trouble. I hope I am wrong and it's not quite time yet!

I hope we can take our country back from those louses before they ruin it.

I can't take credit for the below diddy but its appropriate I think.

Nickles and dimes,
nickles and dimes,
no one will notice,
or care in time,
only the trifles,
the worries and whines,
the usual subjects,
so little time,
And none to waste,
on nickles and dimes.

I listen to Glen Beck from time to time....he does say one thing that I think is true.....he says"if we could remember a politicians record the way we follow our favorite sports team, we would not vote for the biggest majority of politicians that are running........that is so true..

I tivo Beck everyday and then erase the show after I have watched it. Hey, were else am I going to get my marching orders?

Today or yesterday, I can't say when for sure, he mentioned a bill going through the house that would give the President complete control of the internet in the case of an emergency.

Can some one tell me if this is true and what kind of an emergency would need control of the internet?

"The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums. The world would mold men by changing their environment. Christ changes men, who then change their environment. The world would shape human behavior, but Christ can change human nature."
