I just knew the quote wasn't from the Bible, I haven't a clue whether Beck said it was or not. Most likely it was where the poster thought it was from, not Beck.

Beck quoted Ecclesiastes and it made myself and others think of the Franklin quote.

I understood you were thinking out loud, but then, I've read your posts for some time, familiar with you and your manner -- sometimes I will shorthand a post myself, if one who is not all that familiar happens through, a correction looks to be coming my way.

Glenn also said last night the "There is power in numbers" after the Bible cite -- not original to him either, but it is on point. I always thought the Franklin quote was "We must all hang together, for surely we will all hang separately" -- but I've never actually looked it up, not since hearing it back in Civics class (mumble mumble) years ago. ;)
