We don’t need a new philosophy. We have the Constitution. All the rest is smoke and mirrors and snake oil salesmen. The American voter is being inundated with “pied-pipers” and “saviors” of every stripe and persuasion. It’s one of the weaknesses in an open society. And people like Soros and organizations like the Trilateral Commission know how to manipulate the strings quite well.

I am 100% in agreement with you re: the Constitution as our guiding document and source of our foundational principles, as well as the Declaration of Independence and the writings of the Founding Fathers such as the Federalist Papers. No argument from me whatsoever.

As far as "needing" a new philosophy I don't view philosophies as something "cooked up" as much as something that is revealed through a search for the truth. Searching for the truth involves asking new questions as well as old questions that have not recently been asked.

Beck may or may not develop a new philosophy and either way is fine with me. But I, personally, enjoy watching him go through a process of search that *could* end up in a new way of understanding just what makes human beings tick. That is one of the important reasons that I support and defend Glenn Beck.

Too few people in the public square are asking important questions these days. Beck is brave to do so in today's political climate.
