Friends,
What an amazing few days on the road this has been. Your spirits have been high, your faith strong and your spine unbendable. I ended my multiday book tour at The Villages with what had been billed as a rally but could be better described as a candid citizen-to-citizen chat.
Today, I have stopped looking for a leader to show us the way out because I have come to realize that the only one who can truly save our country...is us. To change America's course we need to change ourselves, our expectations and our willingness to accept the unacceptable.
When we refuse to allow our children to receive a trophy for participation, we are on the road to restoring the meaning of merit in our Republic. When we insist that no one is too big to fail, we will be able to learn from our mistakes, and when we demand that we are self-reliant, we will ensure that others can rely on us, not the government.
There is much to do, much to learn and time is of the essence. While I will be explaining the entire Plan over the coming weeks and months, I did want to give you a preview of some of the highlights:- Education is key, and not just for our children. To that end, we will be conducting a series of conventions. These will be full-day experiences where you will be immersed in learning about topics ranging from self-reliance, community organizing, the economy and how to be a political force in your own neighborhood and country.
The first one will be in Orlando at UCF Arena on March 27th. You will also be able to vote to have a convention in your region by clicking here.
- I have begun meeting with some of the best minds in the country that believe in limited government, maximum freedom and the values of our Founders. I am developing a 100 year plan.
I know that the bipartisan corruption in Washington that has brought us to this brink and it will not be defeated easily. It will require unconventional thinking and a radical plan to restore our nation to the maximum freedoms we were supposed to have been protecting, using only the battlefield of ideas.
- All of the above will culminate in The Plan, a book that will provide specific policies, principles and, most importantly, action steps that each of us can take to play a role in this Refounding.
- On August 28, 2010, I ask you, your family and neighbors to join me at the feet of Abraham Lincoln on the National Mall for the unveiling of The Plan and the birthday of a new national movement to restore our great country.
Talk about a smooth voice, I love Michael Medved's voice. I go to bed each night with the radio on while Medved is on and he's soothing and relaxing.
I'm getting really sick of George Noory in the middle of the night however, Most of those guests are complete kooks and yet, he takes them seriously.
Last night I woke up and there was a ding bat woman on there who seriously believed that time "shifts" and you can have a house where there was no house before and all sorts of other crazy things.
There's a similarity between what is on Coast to Coast and what we read here on FR. Some people are just plain gullible.
“What is it that he’s wanting.”
Do you appreciate the fact the Beck has committed to exposing the communists and Marxists in the obama administration? You are getting suspicious of HIM? Maybe you think his bit is over now? Sorry if I’m seeming critical of you.
Do you appreciate the fact that Beck is not Rush? I love Rush too - but each has their own gift. Our country needs both and many others right now.
Do you realize that every darn day, while America sleeps, or is slowly awakening, the obama administration and this Socialist Democrat controlled congress is ramming LAW down our throats whether we like it or not. They are TRANSFORMING the United States of America.
I’m not needing to be entertained by a media personality - whether it’s a Rush-type, or a Beck-type, or a Levin-type, or a Hannity-type. Get over it, please! We need them all right now.
Great Grandma - I’m a new first time grandma, with another on the way. I am motivated by my FEAR of what this Marxist obama and congress are doing to OUR country. Thank God still have the conservative voices that can speak - that may not last much longer if we don’t get a move on NOW.
Well, sorta. For many elections the Dem is more conservative and less corrupt personally than the RINO opponent. But once those Dems get to DC, they are read the riot act by the Dem leadership, threatened and if necessary blackmailed until they vote lockstep with Pelosi and Reid. Remember that EVERY Dem voted for Pelosi or Reid for leadership posts. As Rush sez, in the end a Blue dog Democrat is a Democrat first.
I agree with everything you’re saying. I’m afraid Beck may be taking this a bit too far. We’ll see but if he’s trying to steer people away from voting Republican, he’s making a great big mistake.
If he can get the us working together for the common good of the USA then all the power to him.
~~Off ping list PING!
Please forgive any duplicates.
God Save America!
I respect your point of view, but I do not agree with it. I have never felt that he see’s himself as a leader.
If I am wrong, I will certainly say so
Yes!
Let’s hope though, that WE put the RINOS on notice with our strength in numbers - loud and clear and visible from now on.
hugs to you great grandma
So just throw your hands up, turn your back and walk away just because you are worried about the left using his words against him. Adios.
“So he begins with the assumption that we are all a bunch of pig-ignorant sods in need of his instruction?”
Do you have a better explanation as a whole of how we got here?
“But we also need to be careful to not throw out the baby with the bathwater. There are a lot of good people in the GOP. Palin, Bachmann, Wilson, Pence, Hunter, Wilson, Coburn, Inhofe, Klein, Sessions etc. We need to send them reinforcements, not make their job harder. “
There are precious few babies with that filthy bath water. In my opinion there at most 20 good men in the Senate and perhaps twice as many in the House (along with a couple of terrific women, of which there are none in the Senate). If we lose the 60 good to flush 465 bad it is a deal I can live with. But that will not happen if history is any indicator.
Think back to the manufactured melt down of the financial market. the American electorate was 95% opposed. Yet, how many Dems lost their elections because of their votes in favor? ZERO. And how many REpublicans who voted against it got beat? A bunch. The thugs running Washington believe — and there is no reason to think they are not correct in this belief — that they can do anything and the electorate will hold them accountable and punish them no matter what.
I truly wish this was not the case, but I do not see anything to indicate it.
but all republicans are not conservatives.
Basically what I said on the other thread. Conservatives should already know this stuff. We don't have 100 years. Be honest, most of the crowds at all these events, be they tea parties, Palin rallies, Beck rallies, etc are older folks. The young people are all on campus shouting "yes we can" to their messiah. The folks who would need to go learn this stuff won't.
Try WBAP Dallas Fort Worth midnight CST. It’s a really strong station, and the guys on there are really good. 12am to 5am.
