Pastor Broden agrees with Beck, saying it’s time for all Americans to awaken and pay attention to what is going on in our government. He, too, is dismayed at the level of power that’s being built up in the Executive Branch, and given to folks who are accountable to nearly no one except the President.
This is a call for all of you, folks, to please wake up, pay attention, and even if you HATE Beck with everything in your soul, please just listen to the questions he posts and do some research for yourself. See if you can find different outcomes/answers than do Glenn and Pastor Broden. It’s up to all of us to keep ourselves engaged and active, or we’ll never be able to get our Republic back.
We can no longer afford to sleep while the America we know is being ravaged under our very noses. Do the founding documents no longer matter? If they do to you, then it’s time for YOU to get involved, and get your friends and neighbors to listen, too. Heck, don’t just listen… ASK QUESTIONS YOURSELVES!
One year after Tony’s passing, Fox & Friends gave him a fitting tribute on the weekend show. God, take care of Tony Snow and bring him into the fold of Your loving arms. We all miss Tony, but we know there is a greater purpose You have for him.
God bless Tony and his family, and our prayers are with he and his family.
Serene Jones, Gary Dorrien, and Cornel West, all alleged religious scholars, were on a recent segment of Bill Moyers’ Journal, talking about the age of Obama and capitalism, theology, social justice, and many other things. Cornel West, committed race pimp, had the following gems to share from the transcript:
…”the age of Obama actually emerges with a discredited Republican party in disarray. With a mediocre Democratic party that only had the Clinton machine at the center. And if this charismatic, brilliant, young, black brother can somehow get over the Clinton machine, he can become president.
“That’s why I supported him. Critically! A Socratic, prophetic, orientation toward the brother, right? Because he becomes the initiator of a new age. We had to bring the age of Reagan to a close. The era of conservatism had to be brought to a close. Thank God it was. But then the question will be, well, is he going to focus on the poor and working people? Will he recycle neo-liberal elites from the old establishment of Wall Street – which the economic team is?”
Then they go on to discuss the Progressive agenda and Obama’s presidency. This should shed a bright light for EVERYONE to understand what his progressive followers want and expect of him (and it’s quite scary, I might add):
“BILL MOYERS: You said, after the election, “We want to give him time. We want to give him room.” And my question to you is: how much room and how much time?
“CORNEL WEST: Well, the first thing we want to do, we want to protect him, and he and his precious family. Second thing we want to do, we want to make sure all the criticism is fair, so it’s not ad hominids, it’s not personal. It’s not racist. It’s not whatever, you see.
At the same time, he is subject to all the same requirements of truth and justice as any other president, any color. So my criticism out of love for, not just the people, but Barack Obama himself. How my criticism help him? Give him strength? He plans to be progressive Lincoln. Fine. That’s difficult. He will be helped by more progressive Frederick Douglasses. That’s what I aspire to.
“BILL MOYERS: Do you see the-
“CORNEL WEST: To help him push him in a progressive direction.
“BILL MOYERS: Do you hear those voices coming from his left? We know about them from the right. Fox News, Rush Limbaugh. We all know them.
“CORNEL WEST: Well, the voices are there! Paul Krugman, and Sylvia Ann Hewlett and Ben Barber and William Greider and Ron Walters. The voices are there. He’s not yet listening. That’s the difference. Lincoln listened to Douglass, Garrison. Brother Barack Obama, he is listening too much to Summers, Thurman, Geithner. We can go right down the neo liberal list. That’s dangerous if he wants to be a progressive president.
“BILL MOYERS: Why do you think that is?
“SERENE JONES: I think one of the reasons that it happens is that we are living in a very overwhelming time. And it’s always going to be the case that a conservative familiar neo liberal agenda sounds safer.”
Excuse me? We must first “protect him and his precious family”? Why? We protect all presidents, so why is this such an absurd assertion that the Obama family is in need of greater protection than anyone before him? What position does he hold (in their minds) that makes him greater than those he follows? This is getting creepy, folks, and just contributes more to the fear I have for my country.
And in the rest of the show these “religious” people are actually saying Christianity is somehow invalid and bad for America, as best as I can tell from what they’re saying? Seriously??? If you know how or why these idiots should matter, please explain to me. And I really urge you to read the transcript word for word, again from here.
You’ve gotta LOVE Pastor Manning’s passion. He’s never been one to shy away from how he feels about Obama, the “long-legged mack-daddy.” Preach on, brother… PREACH ON!
Look forward to having you join us in trying to take this country back from the fraud in the White House, and his deluded followers.
Today Sarah Palin announced that not only would she not run for office again in 2010, but she’s officially handing over the reins of the governorship to Lt. Gov. Parnell effective July 26th.
For those who underestimate Sarah, they do so at their own peril. We have seen no other politician like her, and that is not a bad thing; it is truly a good thing, so her announcement today is not a negative in my book. She realizes the frivolous complaints by the weak, whiny libs from the DNC were unnecessarily costing Alaska too much money, so she’s stepping aside to have more political clout from outside the political box.
You go, Sarah. More people support you than you know, and the reason why you were attacked so much is because people fear you. I say that’s a good thing, and a sign you’re doing something right.
Last Friday’s show was fantastic, and Glenn revealed a new movement – The 912 Project. Folks are amassing across this nation, and we will be a force to be reckoned with. It’s time to take our country back from the bloated government and return it to its rightful owners – We The People.
If you didn’t get to see the show, you can check out my post here and see it in all 6 segments.
Please take a moment and join or just check out these very important sites. The original project was the We Surround Them community, then Glen started his new 912 Project, and I’ve started a sister network called We Are 9/12′ers. What is a 9/12′er? It’s who we all were on 9/12/01, we did what we did without thinking, and we did it because it was the right thing to do. We need to go back to who we were on 9/12/01 again.
Glenn explains the logo for The 912 Project, as well as the purpose of the website:
Please visit all, join if you can, because it’s going to take all of us to accomplish this. The time for apathy has passed. We must rise up and save this great nation.
On a special edition of Special Report, the subject was today’s vote on the healthcare reform bill, a.k.a. “Obamacare.” Steve Hayes of the Weekly Standard gave a breakdown of past entitlement programs including Medicare and Social Security, what promises were made about them, and how they wound up affecting America in reality, fiscally speaking. Steve [...]
This morning on This Week, Obama advisor David Plouffe was on, along with Karl Rove, to discuss today’s healthcare reform bill vote. Rove tries to get Plouffe to stick to the facts, and pounded him on what the numbers actually are on this bill, the economy, our deficit and budgets, as well.
Partial transcript [...]
From Politico today:
Tea Party protesters disrupted Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s press stakeout at a House Office Building, yelling “you’re a disgrace to your office” and one protester yelled a gay epithet at Rep. Barney Frank again on Sunday, adding yet another layer of chaos to an already tense afternoon on Capitol Hill.
In a moment of [...]
Once again, Shepard Smith shows his utter disdain for the Tea Party movement. Today as Fox News was covering the healthcare reform vote and the protests outside, Shep remarks that the “leaders” on the right like Rush Limbaugh and others have been telling people to go out, make our feelings known, etc., so there we [...]
I found this wonderful blogger/cartoonist at DrawForTruth. This cartoon actually states in a picture what can only be described is how Americans feel today about the healthcare reform bill being crammed down our throats right now.
They reportedly have the votes for tomorrow, but it still doesn’t make the bill right for America. God help [...]
A good friend passed along this video to me today, and it couldn’t have come on a better day. Enjoy!
This video perfectly embodies the sentiment of those who oppose big government and unsustainable spending.
This is a country that runs on the consent of the governed – and I DO NOT consent to my [...]
