When push comes to shove, hungry people are going to come knocking or kicking down your door and they won't play nice.

I am LDS and am appalled that any decent American would talk so negatively about a church that does so much good. Bad form. You do not have to agree with our beliefs or our methods of worship we only ask that you respect our right to worship as we feel. I especially take issue with your comment about members of the LDS faith not being Christians. Have you been to an LDS service? Listened to an LDS leader? Read any LDS literature? We very much believe in Christ. In fact, He is at the center of all we do.

First thing, I make less than $25,000 a year and i know that there are a lot of others here that would match your description of "common folk." I don't understand why you and other democrats feel like you deserve all these benefits. I would never expect someone else to support me and my family. I don't make very much money and I have no medical insurance, but still I have everything I need and a little extra and a hell of a lot of self respect. I don't blame others for what I don't have nor do i feel that I deserve what others do have. I work full-time while going to school full-time. If I am fortunate enough to make a lot of money when I finish school and progress along my career path I will not feel sorry that I have and others don't. I am paying my dues and busting my ass so that I can have those things, Its called the American dream. Of course it means you have to take responsibility for yourself, work hard and make sacrifices and still there are no guarantees. Oh, and by the way, my brother lived in Denmark for a couple of years (not military) and he didn't have anything good to say about the socialist way of life there.

What a waste of time and money, but what else can you expect from our government. Makes me sick.

I work in security for a company that has offices all over the world so I have to have the news on all the time when I am at work so I can monitor world events to assess threats to the companies offices and traveling employees. I get so sick of it. They think they are so smart and amazing. I get paid to watch it and I can't stand it. I don't know how anybody would ever want to watch that crap in their own house.

I still can't believe this jackass is our president.

Make the punishment for committing a crime with a gun super tough.

Any control by the government is bad. There should be no restrictions on manufacturing, selling, owning, or carrying of any firearm. I also think that it would be a good idea to teach basic gun skills in public schools. Teach every kid about guns; gun safety, marksmanship, and cleaning and basic gun smithing. I feel it is the responsibility of every American to not only own a gun but at least be somewhat competent in the use and care of your gun. If you give them an inch they'll take a mile.

What the hell people? The only reason its still around is because people won't let it die. I don't even think I know any racist people. Grow up already and stop trying to create something to hide behind every time something doesn't go your way.

Call, write, and email the wastes-of-space that are supposed to be representing you in Washington. You vote and talk to your family, friends, and neighbors. But when your backs against the wall the wall you only have one option. But at least you can say that you did everything possible to try and resolve the situation peacefully. And make sure you are good and ready when all hell breaks lose. I think we are closer than most people realize.

I just turned 25 and have been married for almost 2 years. My wife and I really want to start having children, but I'm worried about what kind of world they will be living in. Some days I get super pissed about everything the government is doing or not doing and sometimes I can't sleep at night. I just lay there and think. I don't know what to do anymore. Just know you're not alone. Thank God for this site. I wish you the best with raising your daughter.

I think there are a lot of people that feel the same way. Live free or die.

I doubt the actual results of this poll will ever be released. They only talk about polls and news that support their agendas.

I think we have plenty of passion and know what we want to accomplish but we need to be united. We need a leader who can bring us together and get us all moving in the same direction. We could have a lot more influence and credibility as a movement if we would all be moving together. Unite or Die.

It looks like I missed out on some good posts. too bad the thread got lost. anyway, I'm going to write my state's legislature and governor and demand that they stand up for their sovereignty. Th Constitutional Convention sounds like just the tool we need to take bake some of the power that the fed thinks belongs to them.

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:06:06 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19566617 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=1113#IDComment19436827 awriter, I agree 100% and you can count me in. To much talk around here and not enough action. When I joined this site I was hoping that it would be a place where we could share ideas and coordinate efforts to make this a serious movement, but instead all I see is people pissing and moaning about how they disagree with everything thats being done to this county. We need some real leaders in this movement that can unite and inspire. Glen did a great job getting this thing off the ground but i think he is counting on us to take it from here. Let me know what you need. Lets get this movement moving.

And that is only the beginning. I thought I would never be able to experience what the ordinary, moral German felt in the mid-1930s. In those times, the savior was a former smooth-talking rabble-rouser from the streets, about whom the average German knew next to nothing. What they did know was that he was associated with groups that shouted, shoved, and pushed around people with whom they disagreed. He edged his way onto the political stage through great oratory promises. Economic times were tough, people were losing jobs, and he was a great speaker. And he smiled and waved a lot. And people, even newspapers, were afraid to speak out for fear that his 'brown shirts' would bully them into submission. And then, he was duly elected to office as full-throttled economic crisis was at hand [the Great Depression]. Slowly but surely he seized the controls of government power, department-by-department,person-by-person, bureaucracy-by-bureaucracy. The kids joined a Youth Movement in his name, where they were taught what to think. How did he get the people on his side? He did it promising jobs to the jobless, money to the moneyless, and goodies for the military-industrial complex. He did it by indoctrinating the children, advocating gun control, health care for all, better wages, better jobs, and promising to re-instill pride once again in their country, across Europe, and around the world. He did it with a compliant media. Did you know that? And he did this all in the name of justice and ..... change. And the people surely got what they voted for. (Look it up if you think I am exaggerating.) Read your history books. Many people objected in 1933 and were shouted down, called names, laughed at, and made fun of. When Winston Churchill pointed out the obvious in the late 1930s while seated in the House of Lords in England (he was not yet Prime Minister), he was booed into his seat and called a crazy troublemaker. He was right, though. Don't forget that Germany was the most educated, cultured country in Europe. It was full of music, art, museums, hospitals, laboratories, and universities. And in less than six years --- a shorter time span than just two terms of the U. S. presidency --- it was rounding up its own citizens, killing others, abrogating its laws, turning children against parents, and neighbors against neighbors. All with the best of intentions, of course. The road to hell is paved with them. As a practical thinker, one not overly prone to emotional decisions, I have a choice: I can either believe what the objective pieces of evidence tell me (even if they make me cringe with disgust); I can believe what history is shouting to me from across the chasm of seven decades; or I can hope I am wrong by closing my eyes, having another latte, and ignoring what is transpiring around me. Some people scoff at me, others laugh, or think I am foolish, naive, or both. Perhaps I am. But I have never been afraid to look people in the eye and tell them exactly what I believe, and why I believe it. I pray I am wrong. I do not think I am.
