Glenn Beck - We Surround Them

[jim b]

If your not familiar with Glen Beck and his radio show i encourage you to listen if you can. Toady on his show he announced a new campaign he is doing called "we surround them". He has a list of 7 questions he asks and if you agree with him on them he ask you to send a picture of yourself. Here is the link to the show excerpt:

I encourage everybody to read this completely, answer hoestly, and send the picture if you agree.

I said yes to all 9.

My wife and I both said yes to all nine. Let's see where this leads. It should be interesting.

[dburkhead]

Eight of nine. (Sorry, folks, I'm an agnostic so "no" on question two.)

"Just seven out of nine. Do you believe in them? Then will you please take a picture of yourself. If you ask your family and you ask your children tonight, do you believe in these things. Take a picture of your spouse. Not as a family. Take them one at a time and send them to me..."

9 and 9 for the two of us...

If it was an unbiased site then maybe I'd actually take the time to read it, it leans way to right for me. Like question 1, is it trying to make it ok that this country uses bull force to get other countries to comply to our demands? By completely tossing out the constitution for illegal torture at guantanamo? By supporting terrorists to overthrow democratically elected officials? I won't even comment on #2. 3,4,5 ok. #6 please clarify equal rights:to all or actual citizens. Equal rights that blacks and women fought for? again please clarify who thats aimed at. #7 ok, but I don't want my money going to those that don't need it (the RICH)hello wallstreet bailout! I agree with #8 but the government doesn't, don't forget that reasoned dissent is punishable, thank you patriot act. and I wish #9 was true.

I've taken the liberty to cut and paste the nine questions here - on this UNBIASED site that you frequent.


1) Yes or no: Do you believe America is a good place, that we've lost our way over the years, that we have done bad things but generally speaking we tried hard. We try to make amends. We have tried to do the right thing. Just like everybody else, we fail from time to time and we have truly lost our way in the last 20 years. But gosh, if you look at America, she's good and our founders were good and our founding documents are good. We've just strayed too far away from them. Yes or no.


2) Yes or no: I believe in God. I may not go to the same church or synagogue or mosque as the majority of people in America, but I believe in God and he is the center of my life, and God does not tell people to behead others or to persecute others that see God in a different way. As long as that god is not telling them to persecute others.

Yes or no.


3) Yes or no: It is my responsibility to try to be better and a more honest person than I was yesterday. Sometimes I fail, I'll make mistakes, but it's my main mission to be better than I was personally than I was yesterday.


4) Yes or no: The family is sacred. I and my spouse are the ultimate authority under God when it comes to my family. I raise my family, and that comes with a grave responsibility. If I fail, I answer to God.


5) Yes or no: If you break the law, you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.


6) Yes or no: I have a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but that is not a guarantee of equal results.


7) Yes or no: I work hard for what I have, and I will share it with others that I choose when I choose, should I choose. Government cannot force me to be charitable.


8) It is not un-American for anyone to disagree with my opinion, but my opinion or others' opinions may be anti-American. Anti-American rhetoric would be anything that is destructive to the Constitution and our country as our founders understood it.


9) And the last one is the government works for me. The government answers to me. I do not answer to the government.
