Went to the show last night. We got the live feed from Texas in TWO HUGE theatres here in Central NY which were SOLD OUT.
An HOUR and a Half BEFORE the show was to start. There are more seats below. HUGE theatre and we had TWO that were sold out in minutes. I felt bad for the last minute walk ins who had to sit away from each other. Everyone got there over an hour early for good seats.
Mr. Thinker and I at the Show. PEACE! Before we break out the pitchforks and flame throwers to make "We The People" be heard to the dummies in office in Washington. Will someone PAlease tell them who they work for?!
Totally wish Glenn would run, but I think he just like's being a host of HIS show to shed light on Politics. Debunk the myths and lies and find a way to educate the public with what the Candidates will do to us If they are voted into office. PRETTY SCAREY I must say.
We can sit and talk "Change", but it won't do a bit of good if we sit and wait for it with no agenda.
We can fight for the people., but when we allow immigrants to enter ILLEGALLY, we're going against EVERYTHING our Founding Fathers based the Country on. It even says on the Statue of Liberty: "
The New Colossus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Emma Lazarus, 1883
My goodness, I hope there's a third party candidate besides BARR who can REACH between party lines. I think it would really tell our Washington Leaders something if the new President beat the barriers of Republican and Democratic parties. Why isn't Glenn running Conservative?
In a nutshell Glenn Beck spoke about:
~ the right to bare arms ((Stop taking the rights of people to defend themselves))
~ stupidity of our governement/state officials making laws on TOP of laws that were already made (i.e. making it illegal for people to use ILLEGAL Ammo....umm, hello, it's ALREADY illegal...this was done in PA., TONS of odd stuff done in CA by CA officials too. I.E. 500.00 fine for anyone setting off nuclear bombs in that area...umm STUPID! Don't you think number 1, they'll be dead and number 2 it's ALREADY illegal ANYWHERE in the U.S.?!
~ the need for the Gov't to STOP bailing out banks that KNOWINGLY make bad deals and the people with minimum wage jobs who knowingly accept mortgages for 400 thousand dollar homes on a grocery store clerks income. (no offense, but if you can't afford it, you shouldn't buy it. Why should the rest of us who either have mortgages we CAN afford to pay or those of us in Rentals who are paying our debts, foot the bill for those kinds of dumb choices).
~ giving people the right to succeed or fail.....its the American way. Our Ancestors came and WORKED HARD for the American dream. They started from NOTHING. Just as doug and I learned from our mistakes and had to come out of them, so should every American (and most have) learn from their mistakes and come out on top with the strength and hope of our Lord.
~ Our ideals the country was founded by our Founding Fathers recognizes That God has given us everything, NOT by ourselves....and transmitting those ideas into a Government and a Country.
If HE were president He would do the following:
Economy- for every 19.00 America spends 20.00 thats 1.00 TOO MUCH. Think of how many BILLIONS we're in the red to overspending.
Glenn suggests a scale down of government with only essential services to keep the army funded, roads open, post offices running as well as the court systems. NO MORE SPENDING WHAT WE DON"T HAVE! For crying out loud these are basic financial principals and alot of Americans know that when there is no money in the checking account...there's NO MORE MONEY. Why can't the Gov't grasp that concept?!
Illegal immigrations....Put a fence up and LET EM COME IN through the Golden Gates as it says on the statue of liberty. The Right way!
Lets not forget that He says we need diversification when it comes to CLEAN Energy.
Do you know they're FINALLY drilling in Anwar?! FOR ICE To see what happens when Ice is hot....Umm, I think even a 5 year old knows it MELTS! They're doing this dumb study when we need OIL. Maybe it won't wreap for 5 years, but it will be available when they need it 5 years from now. He also says get EVERY means of Clean alternative energy: Nuclear, water, air, even HEMP if thats what they need.
One thing he said that made sense. Thomas Edison never asked for gov't funding when he invented the lightbulb. Ivy Leage Colleges shouldn't need MILLIONS of taxpayers jobs for their own studies when they make TONS already and the monies they get from taxpayers is used for luxery things for the heads.
God Bless America is what he said.
We need to FIGHT For our Country.....protect our soldiers who are in the center of harms way...PROTECT THEM and they're families.
We need to research each candidate and question they're agendas. We The PEOPLE need to DEMAND MORE. If it doesn't come from the two parties, then we DEMAND it from elsewhere. Vote em Out...Alll of Em.
And Glenn says, Be a part of it. Don't wait for Gov't to change AMERICA, Go out and do it! Make that Impact....thats What Americans Do.
*** That's it in a nutshell. I hope I didn't affend our beloved Canadians and Europeans. I believe we each have significant roles to play as members of society for each of our Country's. It's just ours right now is during an Extremely IMPORTANT decision that could possibly impact the world if a wrong candidate gets in. I for one would like to see God back where He belongs. Back where our Founding Fathers placed Him ((the Head)).

but one thing I would say - you know, you are not alone! Our government is quite quite as dumb as yours! What I think we must consider is that maybe we who belong to the Lord need to stand together regardless of our nation. God is permitting this to happen, and the world is on its way to you know where. So while of course it is right we obey and pray for our leaders, in the end, we are renters here, travellers, our home is elsewhere.
So in a way, there's not as much point as we might like to think there is, in trying to knock our nations into shape. Thankfully, there is a mansion being prepared for us as we speak!
See you there, dear friend, and we shall need no flags!

Amen Jackie! I can't wait to see you in our Heavenly Fathers Mansion too. I believe thats the MOST important thing. I have a scripture that is going up today that I actually NEEDED to see during this very SCAREY time here. I'll post it and my thoughts sometime today.
It will certainely be a BETTER place when we are HOME in heaven.
