It seems to be a common view of the "elite", that we the common people do not have the ability to make even the most basic decisions in life. We are seen as animals whos lives must be controlled in every aspect. They deny we have any God given rights. In the end it is all about control by abolishing these God given rights, coming directly from Satan. This world is presently in revolution in many countries as the people of the world say enough is enough. Our nation is only one small event away from a national revolution. If we fall, so goes the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-72625357128253801982014-02-24T14:45:50.336-06:002014-02-24T14:45:50.336-06:00I've been watching Glenn Beck since his days a...I've been watching Glenn Beck since his days at CNN. However, this does not mean I am a "fan". I also watch Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews, Thom Harman and, when I can build the stomach, Rachel Maddow, among others. It has been my experience that no one individual has or speaks the whole truth. Glenn is no exception to this rule.<br /><br />He does discuss topics that many others avoid and I admire his focus on constitutional precepts. Like many others he does concentrate on those of particular importance to himself such as the Second Amendment and overlooks those he has no use for. I learned the history and evolution of corporations in America from Thom Hartmann, a man so far to the left I have to hold my tongue. Strangely, Glenn with his belief and commitment to the free enterprise system never focused on that bit of history.<br /><br />Having said that I have to opine that he is correct about Tesla and Edison. As an engineer for decades involved in communications I can assure you that Tesla was the true genius. Edison's strength was in organization. He was able to assemble a team of aspiring inventors (of which Tesla was one!) and give them the tools to explore. Rarely was his contribution to a project the catalyst for success. Edison championed electricity to the masses but insisted that DC (Direct Current) was the technology of choice. It was Tesla who suggested the AC (Alternating Current) that powers the world today.<br /><br />When Glenn suggests that he doesn't know or care for the flag his comments are metaphoric. The flag is waved constantly by the current Congress and Administration to engender support for their cause. I think you'll agree that the Patriot Act is anything but patriotic and the Affordable Care Act is anything but affordable. The next time one of our leaders appear in front of a flag to pitch some piece of legislation ask yourself why.fifth_disciplenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-39653724063462886752014-02-24T13:25:21.521-06:002014-02-24T13:25:21.521-06:00Beautifully said.

I know you will cherish and protect this special flag.<br /><br />JMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-367019700923216960.post-90614711830582710712014-02-24T11:51:45.260-06:002014-02-24T11:51:45.260-06:00I used to be a "follower" of Glenns as w...I used to be a "follower" of Glenns as well. It seems in the last couple of years he has fallen victim to the progressives. I just wonder if he has given in to the pressures and threats from the upper left. The progressives have manufactured a vast arsenal of weapons, IRS, licenses for broadcasting, fair and balanced news, now even the threat of news room monitors! Maybe this has caused a sway in his opinions. None the less the flag of the United States of America still means the very same for many of us. It is still viewed by much of the worlds population as a beacon of freedom and hope. I see so many comments on the internet from foreign countries telling us not to let our government take away our rights because we are the last existing source of hope for the rest of the world. If we as a nation do not repent, nor defend our rights, in the very near future, we are facing a short lifetime of freedom. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
