It's Climate Change so no matter which way it goes "O" is right. Gee talk about hedgeing your bets Thu, 16 Jul 2009 18:55:00 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2416#IDComment27455420 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2416#IDComment27453719 Progressive like to think that people like me are from a bygone era. They think that to be progressive is to grow within and is the only way for justice to prevail. But justice for who? I haven't seen one "progressive program" that provides equally across the spectrum. You can't take from the well to do's and give to the n'er do wells without creating more n'er do wells. Which is what , I believe, is the actual goal of progressives. They are trying to build a society where they are the well to do's and the governed all become n'er do wells. They will use the arguement that they can make you a well to do by turning the well to do's into n'er do wells.When you become a well to do they will take from you to give to other n'er do wells. This is a self-fullfilling failure. Can't you see it? They WILL be the only well to do's Thu, 16 Jul 2009 18:30:23 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2416#IDComment27453719 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2416#IDComment27452770 I think most honest liberals are mistaking Conservatives for Republicans. I'm a Conservative and don't want or need the governments help in anything I do. I am in an uncomfortable financial situation of my own making so I will bail myself out by hard work and hard choices. Which is something that these bail out nimrods would'nt understand. So yes I'm off when someone like you wants to take my hard earned money and give it to someone who's not willing to take responsibility for their own actions and make the tough choices.

I do get offended when I'm referred to as caucasion.. I'm not from Caucasia or the Caucus Mtns. It is a big deal. Any hyphonated term for ancestry is by it's very nature racist unless you are actually from the place in pre-hyphon. And the "Indians" here are not from a place called Native. We are all just Americans. It seems that only hyphonated people have lobbyists in DC. My wife agrees and she's is Tuscarora, Cherokee and Crow but she referred to as caucasian because she's part German. I'm American of Irish ancestry but I'm not Irish-American Mon, 6 Jul 2009 13:04:39 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2331#IDComment26462884 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2331#IDComment26434775 You're called Native Americans because you were here when we showed up. Your people are not native to this land. No one is your ancestors came from one direction and mine another. Thats what makes this land so special. We all went different directions to get here and along the way we picked up the best we could find and brought it with us. Unfortunately we also brought the worst we could find..

With all of the technology should'nt we be able to streamline the process so they don't have to come illegally. It takes longer to immigrate to America than any other country in the world. Yes we need their labor but not at the expense of their safety and dignity. The liberal mindset is killing these people. We need to stop illegal aliens and make it so they can come here legally.

It was about power and control. Great Britain wanted to control all of Ireland and the peolple were having none of it. Neither are the wars in Israel. It's still about power and control, bigotry and fear. If no one would attack anybody then there would'nt be war. Ans as for the border, THATS THEIR JOB, I'm a trucker, if I'm not willing to leave my family to go deliver your goods then I'd better find a new line of work. We're welcoming to ones who will let us know they're here. Thats all we want. We are the only Nation on Earth that looks the other way while these poor people are being taken advantage of. Mexicans are the new slaves of this country Mon, 6 Jul 2009 01:59:21 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2331#IDComment26428839 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2331#IDComment26428453 We were responding to the fact that Sadam Hussein had Al Queda training camps including one with a Boeing 747 used to train the terroists from 9/11. You Libs tend to forget all this stuff and only remember selectively what you need to hurt this country. It's the same mentality that called the Korean War a police action. Iraq was funding Al Queda or did you forget that too. Hell America funded Al Queda during the Russian occupation. I'm willing to admit that we probably could have handled it better. But all Sadam had to do was let the inspectors in, like we do here, and every other nuclear nation, except Iran and Korea, does.

You liberals like to think we did but since we're not fighting Iraqi's. You would like to believe we found no weapons of mass destruction there , then where did all the saren gas bombs come from or the anthrax we found. And how about all the mustard gas there. We did not find Nukes but we found Chemical and biologics there. We're fighting Al queda insurgents which means the Afghan war just found a new home in Iraq. The U.N. which you Libs seem to love and revere were all for us going there until they found out we were really going to do it.

But NO war ever has been fought because of religion. Those wars are about racism, greed and fear. America, as a nation, has NEVER started a war. But we've finished a few. America has been and always will be about welcoming people to come play in our sandbox. But don't you dare try to take our playground away from us. We have to become a society that plays by our rules if we can or by their rules if we must. But to all the socialist nations in the world I say this. Be very careful of what you wish for, because you might just get it.

You see we DO NOT "believe" there is a God. There just is. We DO NOT "believe" Jesus died for our sins. He did. You see, christianity is not a belief, it's what we are, it's everything we are. But I'm also honest to admit that the Bible is NOT the word of God. It is a collection of letters about what the writer heard from God. Much like our history books. If you look at the Bible and Modern history books,in that context, you will see that humanity makes the same mistakes over and over again. And now here we go again.

If a person became a burden on the tribe they usually were honored for removing themselves from the burdensome role. Not a good way to say it but there it is. Most of the tribes were willing to share the land with whites at first because they felt they didn't own it, It owned them. They could'nt comprehend that we came from a place that revered land ownership. Anyway you get my point. All the people in this country have more in common than we do seperating us and those are things we need to focus on. Let the past die in favor of the future, assuming we have a future by the time this government gets done.

I was born here too and that makes me a Native American by definition and by birth. If you look at the culture of the "people" it was also based on judeo christian values, maybe even more so than christianity in some ways. It's the subtle differences between religions that we need to get past. I hope and pray the Indian culture endures. We as a society could learn a lot from it. Like, the Indians gave to the tribe what it needed to survive but if you were not willing to help the tribe then you were shunned. They didn't take from the leader to give to the lazy.

Will you please keep us up to speed on this. Sun, 5 Jul 2009 14:37:33 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2331#IDComment26393507 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2331#IDComment26219436 I have a question. If I write a check to my landlord, that's a transfer of U.S. currency from my bank to his bank? If Californeeea gives an I.O.U., that's not a transfer of U.S. currency from their bank to my bank because it's not a bank authorized check? But if the bank honors the I.O.U. as a check so I can give a check to landlord, doesn't that mean they're honoring the I.O.U. as a currency? That means that Californeeea is printing it's own currency. I thought that states were not allowed to do that! Food for thought!!!

Not that I disagree, I've been saying the same thing since the Bush Tarp mess. But it becomes a lot more scary when you hear someone who knows about such things say it. Just look worldwide. Honduras, Venuzuela, Iran, China, France, Britain and the WHO conference in Seattle. When you move towards socialism and begin to restrict freedoms, anarchy inevitably follows. People begin to push back, and say "Whoa there Pard". The powers that be will use such an event to attack even more freedoms like the 2nd ammendment using the "Public Good" as an excuse. I have only one piece of advice for people like this. If we the people decide to start down this path, God forbid, then we better be ready to go the distance. I'll paraphrase our founding fathers. It's all or nothing. I think we should exhaust all avenues of the PEN before we turn to the SWORD. If it comes to that, I'm ready, but we'd better think long and hard about this because there is no turning back.We need to be a cohesive public. Millions with one voice and say THIS FAR, NO FURTHER.

Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:12:01 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2131#IDComment25851088 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2131#IDComment25742953 The jerks in DC need to understand that there are 2 ways they can listen, at the point of a pen or a point of a sword. I'm positive they believe that we'll just follow the shepard mainly because we have given them no reason to fear us in any way let alone the sword. I'm afraid they're right. 2010 will tell the tale. Either we vote them out in 2010 or we fight in 2011 Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:25:35 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2131#IDComment25742953 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2131#IDComment25742636 well come on, we have lots of room. A $9,000,000,000 surplus, low property taxes, no income tax, fastest job growth in the nation, lowest unemployment in the nation, and where I live you can still buy a home for less than $65,000, lowest small business taxes and on top of all that, NICE WEATHER!! We'll leave a light on for you Sun, 28 Jun 2009 15:20:04 +0000 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2131#IDComment25742636 http://theglennbeck912project.com/?page_id=2131#IDComment25741741 Unions have brought nothing but problems. Does anyone realize that we make less now than we did in 1950 in comparison to the economy and adjusted for inflation. In 1950, the average person could by a home at the median price and raise a family and own a decent car on a single income if he were frugal. You can't do any of that now. Now if you want to do all that, you have to bring home at least in the low 6 figures. Think about it, if the union gets you a raise of 4% the cost of the products you make or ship will go up by 10% because the company figures we have to raise the price because of higher wages so we can afford to hire lawyers and other people to administer the our side of the business. Now you have to pay 6 points more for your car and everything else. So by voting in a union, you"ve screwed yourself and the rest of us.
