Good guys the both of them Im sure, I hope that our new guy can figure out how to do the things that need to be done to help bring on the changes we are looking for.

Spun it like a top really. They took an event from a pure brother for brother and made it look like a brother vs. brother event. How Rude. So here is an idea. Why not doing another one. All quiet like, no real media attention at all. hell dont even bother to organize, it. Just pick a place, post it on your local blog site figure out the time and date.; Go armed with only what you can carry. Go armed with knowledge. get everyone together, give the world a protest that would make others seem like mere sit ins!

Couldnt they find the same funding outside in the private sector? I wouldnt be apposed to lobbyists speaking to government officials about topics that they represent, but how can we stop the corruption that that now ensues? Iv never(till now) even spoken to a special interest. Yes that is how I see us now, we really are. Shouldnt there be a code of conduct or somthing like that, so those that abuse it can be brought to the for front and made to be held accountable for their actions? I dont know just a thought.

If I had your address I can walk,drive, launch a missile. Right to your living room. It sux that this happened, kinda takes some of the privacy out of life but hey it helps the emergency people more often than the bad guys so why give any one grief about it. No need feeding the already debockled paranoia that exists in America today . As long as people dont knock on my door and just walk to the mailbox/ marker , to check the address no issues from me. Dont tread on me!

I have ran into the needing approval posts too, Id like to know aswell. But the already tax us on at least on level for a carbon gas producer. Fuel, My concern is when are we going to be taxed for breathing. I think we through breathing put out more carbon than my 1992 chevi does in my life time, so when are they going to do those taxes. Fear mongers all of them.

To some degree a flat tax would be better in my guess do to the ability to collect those taxes. I realize that it is less fair than the fair tax idea because it hits those making more heavier then those making less. But under either plan, the wealthy is still paying more. taxation is such a hard thing to figure out. What would be the issue of a flat tax for the fed, and a sales tax for the states, as long as the tax is one that is beneficial to citizens then it would be fair, and as long as the taxes being paid to both combined equal to no more than say 23% total citizen liability??? I dont know just a thought. It would make it a nightmare for the tax preparer i think. Fed would be on a pay check basis, and states through each sale , so to figure out the taxes owed at the end of the year wouldnt be that hard. Refunds would become a thing of the past and well thats not that much of an issue. But once the National debt is paid, and the none special interest programs are running (to a benefit), and the country is running in a positive manner then the talks could be started for country wide refunds, or a country wide retirement investment program, separate from Social Security. Hey thats an idea. huh wow Sat, 18 Apr 2009 17:02:31 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19230388 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19228886 Greetings and Salutations, I would even go as far as 15- to 20 %. I love my country and would love to see her function at peek. No more special interests being funded but tax dollars, private funding only. No more bail outs. etc. The flat tax would allow the government to fund projects, like infrastructure, aerospace, MILITARY and the like. With out going broke. I would be in favor of a system like this, as long as it cant be attached to by S.I's Sat, 18 Apr 2009 16:34:18 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19228886 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19226997 Hey Ill go to that , but in this economy would beable to organize it so we can stay in our own towns and march at home?

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 15:53:46 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19226781 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19226512 Greetings and salutation, Can I too put in my two cents here, OKay, so the University of Oregon, has done the research, has done the science, has done everything except built one. Im speaking of the Nuclear Power plants. They have plans that have been already implemented by other country's, like India. They have nearly perfected the science in their labs. The engineers, and student have been working on this for a few years now. How long im not sure but they have come up with a near 0(zero) waist solution to the use of Nuclear power. But the Lefties have shut them out of implementing the plans here in America. Why is it that we here in America can see we have energy problems, we know that we are totally dependent on other countrys for energy. We have the knowledge, we have the political clout, we have the "PRIVATE" capital, we even have the resources. Im totally for tree conservation, parks and other ecological things. But Im also for the creation of self sustaining energy. Energy that could be built with "Private" money. No need for the government to spend a red blooded American Penny. We are a great nation. We did most of what discovered the alternative forms of energy production. From wind energy, to nuclear energy, and all point in between. We know ways of producing the electricity we use, with little ecological effects, with private money funding, and yet the government just wont do anything to help implement it. Here in Oregon they "BANNED" the use of nuclear energy. Why I ask. Why. I understand that back when it was first discovered, there were issues with it but we have done the science, we have done the development. We know how to overt the dangers of it. But still we do nothing. We cow down to the left wing, liberal, closed minded anti clean progress (HATE TO USE THIS PHRAZE CAUSE I AM KINDA ONE MYSELF) "tree huggers". Cause it would disturb, (not eliminate, nor destroy) but disturb something. never mind the fact that in building the cities that they do their protests in destroyed their so loved lands. And never mind that the same tree huggers make their meager homes out of those same materials they protest against. The result is, in my estimation, is about making the parents of those same protesters, even wealthier that they already are, (well maybe a bit of conspiracy theory there sorry). Im all for making a buck, in any way you can. I am a capitalist by gogs. At what cost, at what cost do we do this to our selves. The policies that are in place are there because the ones we elected are padding their wallets with the monies from they who would do us the most harm. Eco-terrorist. They have found the way to be the most affective. Im all for protecting things, Im all for sharing the Earth with all the others life forms here, but I know that we can never go back to the wild. We will never need to rely on our planet for protection again. So why not move forward. Evolve ourselves further, by doing those things that will take us into the future. Time to take a stand. Time to say we are ready to move forward in our technological evolution. To become independent once again from foreign tyranny. It is time that our government take the welfare of its people and place it where it belongs. Back in the private sector. Away from the special interests. GIVE US OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!!! WOW I do go on dont I. Does this make me one of those "Extremists".

Sat, 18 Apr 2009 14:30:52 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19219081 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19219011 Greetings and salutations, I will admit I was quite presumptuous in my last post, as are you by assuming that its my "lifestyle". I to much pride admit that I am not Homosexual. Quite not. I am though very happily married to a wonderful, beautiful woman and am the proud father of a very beautiful 7 year old daughter. My personal interest in this topic is the fact that if you read you will no doubt find that most opinions here derive from a religious belief. A belief that two people, based on sexual preference are less then the one posting the comment. I say it like that because I dont want to over use a "VERY" strong word. I realize that everybody has an opinion, hell I have one. I respect those opinions, and choose to voice my own with as much clarity as I can. I am very troubled by the anti-homosexual marriage comments. The judgmental attitude of them. To assume that a creator would punish them because of who they had fallen in love with is purely hypocritical. Then to say that they can not couple is also hypocritical. As I posted in an earlier post. I am ashamed that we live in a society that doesn't value everyones interests. Im so not even advocating for socialism, not in the slightest so dont even take it there, but what I am advocating is the belief that "All Men Are Created Equally", (AND WOMEN TOO sorry that is how it reads) Im advocating for the thousands that have found there one true love, and for what shouldnt even need to be made a right, it should be just an ability to have happen just like my own wife and myself. To beable to become "Married". After all it is just a word. Its a phrase, a terminology for two people to show there love, there commitment to each other. To think that truly sorrows me. One day your own child will grow, and fall in love. Chances are that they will find that love in a "traditional", Female-Male relationship, but the rarity may accrue. Who are you, us to say that because of that they are not allowed to show in the same way as us their love for each other. Are not allowed to marry because of "SOCIETYs" view of what a couple should be. That is just pure, for a lack of a better word, Pure Bigotry, is it not? I was rude in my first post I do admit that osucowboy71, and I do apologies. But to think all of this is do to a belief system, one that by its very nature is founded in a belief that if your not one of them your innately evil. That you should be "cleansed" or "saved". Im not trying to offend any one, Im just stating my case, Im not christian, or a member of any other "Major" religion for that matter. Im not any atheist either . Like I said Im just stating my case. Not trying to turn this into a theological debate either. Most of all, Im not meaning to offend. Please dont take it wrong. See it as just that, a point of view. Not a theological attack. Peace and love Blessed Be Dameontc Sat, 18 Apr 2009 14:29:21 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19219011 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19167222 I dont want to snark, YOUR A BIGOT!~ Sat, 18 Apr 2009 03:54:25 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19167222 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19166595 JSova Greetings and salutations, They probably base there "Moral Values" On their life trials, their values based on their up bringing. Im trying real hard to not Snark but the amount of blatant out right bigotry Im reading because of sexual orientation. For the Love, I cant believe my eyes. Im not saying its right for those around me but what I am saying is, The love one feels for another shouldnt be up for debate. That the love between TWO CONSENTING ADULTS, be they heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual, nonsexual, asexual....be anything but what it truly is, LOVE... non negotiable.... The ability to express it in any way they deem fit. My belief that they have that right shouldnt be attacked, morally, religiously, personally. So you think you are going to scare me with "THE WRATH OF GOD", you wont. I spent my childhood in "Christian" Sunday school, and later in youth group, the latter very short lived. I learned alot in those classes, most of all I learned I have a great love of history. In that love I was able to find answers that actually made sense to me. In those first years of pseudo- research. I found out more about those "LAWS" than you probably have been taught in your "CHURCH" so please save your "BIBLE THUMPING" high horse for somebody else. I would never want to impose my morality upon you or your children. Though you did ask me questions and I felt bound to give you my honest opinion. As far as crossing that moral line...... who are you... who are you to say the love somebody feels for somebody else is immoral? You conveniently place yourself behind a book from nearly 2000 years ago. Saying on one hand that it is ok to believe what you want and to be happy, but on the other hand you may only be happy if you fit into this ultra- narrow view of what we think is right? So you tell me Who are you... How is it this put pressure on your children any way? Just asking..... I really shouldnt get into the last one I. Im trying real hard to not be a snark and all. I know I have offended at least one reader, for that I do apologize. Its not meant to be personal, I wanted to state an opinion. And it is a pretty major opinion Iv found. LOL you should have read the first reply I had typed earlier today. This one is much shorter and a lot less militant sounding. Peace and love to you all. There is an answer, one that is non-religious........ But it is out there. I just hope its the correct one.

What we need now is the next step, I put forward that we by location, choose an amendment and find out what has been done to it. Post the findings, I recommend by location, so posters of the site can make connections to those in there area and maybe work together gathering the information. Ask the site admin if we could create a separate tab for it , with discussion boards for each amendment to post to?? Its an idea, what say you all???? (Thanks Bill for the quote hope you dont mind) Sat, 18 Apr 2009 02:40:58 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19163744 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19163100 I think its the site, its been lagging for me also, the site is becoming too big I think. Hey admin???? Wut-cha think?

To follow "GODS" laws would be to say to a "Christian" here follow the laws of Islam, or follow the Teaching of Buda. You may observe those that you yourself find to be right, just and you. But you would do it in a manner that you could justify as yours. As a Pagan I find a lot of crossings from my Beloved Celtic theology and the tyrannical posturing of the Catholic Church, in the Bible. Now dont get me wrong, Jesus, the Idea seems cool to me that this man that preaches Peace and Love, begot so much war and hate. No this isnt about my personal Ideals and theories. Instead its about the Love that is between two people. The love that isnt right in your eyes. As long as they are consenting adults should it matter who's god it offends???? Not for you or I to decide.

Am i missing something here. Marriage is between two consenting "Adults". When I think of "Marriage" That is what comes to my mind "ADULTS". Sorry I didnt take into consideration the legal ramifications of Pedophilia becoming legal, because Gay/lesbians would be-able to marry. Do you know how often the real pedophiles turn out to be Gay/lesbian?????? I dont have the exact numbers but I know for fact that they are considerably less likely to be than Straight, white, males. Most being "MARRIED". I know from personal experience of this happening. So dont try saying its not. Could you marry a 12yo ask yourself that and really think, it matters. As far as "MARRIAGE" being a word- I agree kinda it is much more-its a feeling also.
