Crying men and platitudes galore.

This won’t start a revolution but embolden our enemies to strike us tomorrow morning.

Sorry, I sorta like to listen the Beck but the only word I have for this is pathetic.

The cry’s for self-sacrifice, the appeal to supernatural beings, the community service line—all of it, exactly what we don’t need.

A sacrifice is a sacrifice, whether it is in the name of a gov’t, a God, or your neighbor—sacrifice IS NOT THE FRICKIN’ ANSWER PEOPLE!!!!

Get off the sacrifice band wagon, folks.

This is how the masses enslave themselves—it makes me think they cannot be trusted to guide themselves. That one would have to FORCE them to remain free.

Individual freedom, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

It’s just that simple.

You SHOULD be asking what your country can do for you.

You should be asking, “Hey, country, CAN YOU PLEASE GET THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY?!!!!”

There is nothing wrong with “What’s in it for me?” This is natural and healthy. It’s also a concept that, to be fully understood, requires a lot of thought and a deeper understanding of human nature.

Get out of my way so that I can achieve what I want for myself and my family within a capitalist system which requires that I SERVE others to profit.

It is a BEAUTIFUL thing. It’s also the ONLY way that humans will remain free.

Sacrifice is for slaves.

I would give my life to protect my kids—not as a “sacrifice” but because of what they MEAN TO ME—WHAT THEY DO FOR ME!!!!

I love my wife selfishly—FOR WHAT SHE BRINGS TO MY LIFE!

I would leave her tomorrow if I thought she was with me as some sort of sacrifice. I want her to be with me because of what I do for her—get it? And I would do anything for my family—SELFISHLY!!!

We have TO WANT THINGS, SELFISHLY, TO SURVIVE. How else are you going to motivate humans? We need ideals to live up to, great people to admire for SELFISH reasons.

When we make selfishness a bad thing we are trying to repress one of our most basic survival instincts and reasons for being alive.

“I WANT.” is the most beautiful idea that a human can have, don’t you get it? They are trying to control you by supressing this LIFE GIVING ENERGY. Because you might say to the power mongers: “I WANT to get the hell away from you.” “I WANT to have a say about where my paycheck goes.”

Your selfishness, is a threat to the opressors and that’s why they preach against it, period!!!!!

Look at history and just TRY to find a situation where a society built on sacrifice succeeded. Then try to find one that didn’t end in piles of corpses.

The ones who preach self-sacrifice, be it a priest, politician, or anyone, want to control you—there is no other possible explanation for it.

The closer you get to the extremes of ideology the louder the demands for your sacrifice become.

These are strange days—and getting stranger.

I gotta say, I was pretty disappointed in Beck's big show Friday night. I had been waiting all week to see what Glenn was gonna bust out...and to me it was anti-climactic.

Maybe I'll need to watch it again, but I don't know what I might have missed. Of course the guests he had on were great, especially Chuck Norris, but it just wasn't the blockbuster I envisioned.

Your point about selfishness is important though. Selfishness gets such a bad rap when it's actually a natural part of what makes us survive and thrive. If you've ever read the book by David Seabury called "The Art of Selfishness" (it's an old, out-of-print book but available by some used booksellers online) you know all about the importance of being selfish.

When you're selfish, and have your needs and wants taken care of, then you're in the best place possible to help others. Get yourself strong first, then you can throw a life preserver to others. Drowning people can't save each other; they'll just pull each other down. We need to get strong and stay strong (financially, emotionally, spiritually, physically) for ourselves, our families, our community, our country.

Sacrifice? I must've missed that part.

Yea, I doubt you even watched the show. It's clear to me you don't know what you're talking about.

It was a little anti-climactic huh.

But, I haven't gotten to the project's website yet either.

the 9.12 project

But do you disagree that if we ALL lived by these principles and values, America would be a better place?

I fully agree with those principles and values and think America would be a significantly better place if we all lived by them. Absolutely. (I even sent in a picture of myself and my daughter to Glenn's web site for this project.)

I too need to spend some time on the web site. My mind isn't closed off in any way to all of this, I just was expecting a little something, well, more.

I think Ayn Rand had that topic covered first.

Yes, clearly, you did.

Me too. Ok, so we know we're not surounded - the problem is, we're still just as powerless as before. The politicians dont care and the media has completely ignored the Tea Parties and they ignored this too. I'm gonna definitely work with this, but I'm doubtful anythig meaningful will come of it.

Check FNC tonight (Saturday) at 9...they usually re-broadcast one of his 'better shows' from earlier in the week. Friday's would be one hell of a good bet...

I think you are mistaken. I believe Ayn Rand published her book on selfishness in the late 1950s early 60s. Seabury first published “The Art of Selfishness” in 1920.

HI CyberAnt - long time no see! I watched it tonight (Sat) and it was SO GOOD! It's nice to know others feel the same way me and Hubby do.

Hope all is going well for you!
