Wow, I listened and what I got was individual responsibility is what is needed.

Beck said yesterday in his interview w/Chris Wallace, that his God theme was like the thinking that influenced the Founders. Example:

Benjamin Franklin: “ God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel” –Constitutional Convention of 1787

The lack of comprehension of basic English and/or the desire to put one's own biased interpretation on matters before us in order to demonize one public personality has reached a level here at FR that is beyond ridiculous.

If anyone has listened to Beck for any concerted amount of time (as they claim) or saw him at that rally for the first time in their lives, there is no way the idea of collectivism could be reached whatever. Thank you for pointing this out.

Thank you!!

That was the whole point of the "shindig". Beck actually laid out everything that was presented on Saturday in his book "Common Sense" and the principles were exactly the same as those of Thomas Paine in his pamphlet that Beck's book was based on.
