“Bring enough of the people back to our founding principles and we will finally see real and LASTING change for the better.”
Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner!
Best post I’ve seen so far on Beck’s change in direction. Hell yes, I’d LOVE to storm Washington with my own torch, pitchfork, tar, feathers, some rails, and maybe a couple lengths of rope.
But that would be anarchy, and we’re supposed to be above that. I’m with noiseman here, we need lasting change, and a return to the principles our country was founded upon.
Thanks so much for the kind words.
I'm frankly amazed that so many of us here this morning are having trouble figuring this out. We must become the type of people that the Founders designed this country for if we want to restore it. Contrary to what the left would have us think, it is impossible to airdrop a random group of people into the American system and have it still be America. Even if this group succeeds in staging a political takeover of the government and pushes the right general principles, they will fail in the long run as the baser instincts of their human nature eventually pull them away from those principles.
To cut to the chase, even we conservatives will screw it all up (need I reference the recent evidence?) unless we rely upon God for our sense of direction. Oh, I know there are many "secular" conservatives out there who bristle at that notion, but to you I would simply say that you are just as incompatible with our founding principles as are the liberals. This sometimes uncomfortable fact is simply indisputable. Need proof? I could cite endless statements by the Founders, but this well-known one by John Adams always says it best:
"Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
Now, stop the ridiculous speculating about rodeo clowns and profit-making. I guarantee that what I have just said is the real reason that Glenn Beck has changed his tone of late. It also ought to give all of us reason to think about where we stand as well.
