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
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.
I agree, but we need to be attacking on all fronts right NOW! I was giving this some thought over the weekend and I hope this does not sound nuts, but here it is.
What if someone or some group ... maybe the tea party folks, started the Starve the Beast Program. Basically the program would be designed to inform and encourage all Americans who currently have too much Federal income tax withheld from their regualr paycheck.
Most could easily adjust their deductions on their W-4 forms to arrive at a zero sum game with the Fed Gov each April 15. There are probably tens of millions of folks who have too much withheld and get their so-called tax refund Fed Gov each year.
If several million people could reduced the withholding from their regualr paycheck and stopped giving the Fed Gov a non-interest loan, the Fed would be in a world of hurt real quick.
I can not think of a better short-term way to send the bastids a message.
Well if the powers that be figure they can just bypass the 1st Amendment, then maybe we can just bypass their bypass with the 2nd Amendment.
Unless you know everything about everything (and nobody does) there is always room to learn something new. Its not being arrogant to try to help enlighten and organize. What are you doing to help? Go kiss your own backside.
Lol!
And Beck's qualifications to educate anyone are what? His own high opinion of himself?
Go kiss your own backside.
And you continue to kiss Beck's.
The republican party was founded in 1854. The republican party itself was a third party at one time...of course maybe you're right, they are losers now. I will vote for candidates that represent me. If the republicans insist on selecting candidates who don't then they have no reason to expect my vote because I am clearly not the demographic they're targeting to represent.
And for the record, I'm stupefyingly tired of voting for someone because they're the lesser of two evils. If republicans choose to run evil candidates they can win without my vote. Simple enough?
when it comes to THE MALL, or any other area in DC., my copy of the Constitution does not exclude these areas from”the right to peacably assemble”.
In other words;
“WE DON’T NEED NO STEENKING PERMITS”
Usually he passes along information that is researched by his staff, brought to the forefront from "experts" in their field, or read in books.
After work ping...
most people are ignorant...
So he is just the mouthpiece, the talking head.
A puppet.
I will reiterate that it was in discussing the meeting Glenn is organizing for next summer that the comment was made, and when he has taken calls from people who mention they are considering their own get-together in Washington next year, Glenn will ask (with the chuckle), "Have you gotten your permit yet?"
I wish every Republican would print that out, and read it out loud every morning.
Yes, one might call him a teacher.
Its too late. Momentum will slam us into the debtors brick wall before his presidency is over.
won’t happen, he’s too busy stroking his ego and playing golf!
Agreed he has done good work but Conservatives dont worship leaders talk show hosts but principles and we must not follow him off a cliff in believing a third party is the answer. Taking back the Republican party is the only answer to this assault on our freedoms.

“...have to start with the assumption that one’s audience was ignorant of the subject matter, no”
No, sorry - I don’t agree with you there.
Finding information and facts are these peoples’ professions - just like you and I are professional at what we do.
Expounding on what they believe and sharing information they have found does not automatically assume people are ignorant....take Rush for example - he’s bombastic (some would say arrogant) but he has educated millions of Americans - wouldn’t you agree?
He's certainly reached millions and entertained them.
I would not say he has educated them. Folks will tell you
that Limbaugh does NOT tell them what to think, but rather
gives a voice to what they believe. He basically plays to
his audience, telling them what they want to hear.
I would not characterize that as "education".
