Today, Glenn took a hard look at what can happen in cases where crises occur, and rationing is necessary merely by “allocation” of services. Beck made no bones about it that he’s not saying some of these things will happen, but that we must ask ourselves the tough questions like “could this happen?” “is it possible?”

If you never have these conversations with your family and loved ones, you will never be prepared for the “possible.”

People will snark about this, call him a “fear-monger” among other things, and mock him for his true emotion, but I myself ask you this one simple question: Did you ever at any point in your lifetime think that there would come a day that people had to protest en masse to stop socialized medicine in this country? You didn’t? Well it’s time to start asking the bold questions of our elected officials.

We can no longer remain apathetic – we have to care….we MUST care, or there will be no one to blame but ourselves.

Summoning My Courage

Well, I went and did it today. I’ve finally summoned the courage, yet I’m ashamed I have to consider this an act of “courage.” It really is a sad commentary of where our country is right now, and it is fundamentally so contrary to our Founding documents. I’m not the only one who’s been hesitant to do this, either. Everyone I work with, as well as friends and family, have all felt this way or still do. I finally put my my fear aside and did it. I’m the first in my group of family and friends. I’m hoping that what I did will encourage others to do so, as well. The fact that so many of us feel this way is just so wrong…so fundamentally wrong. So what is it that I did that was so “courageous?”

I put an anti-Obama bumper sticker on my car.

For so long and for very sad reasons, I’ve been reluctant to do so for fear of either getting my car keyed or damaged, or worse yet – being called a “racist.”

Today I have decided I can no longer carry that fear. I love my country too damn much. I can get a new car, but I cannot get my country back if I don’t take a stand. Yes, I know displaying a bumper sticker is hardly “taking a stand,” but if you look at it in context, that a lot of Americans are afraid to do so for reasons I cited, then I AM taking a stand. I’m saying that I value my right to free speech, I value the Constitution, I value my right to dissent, and I value what the Founding Fathers fought so hard for – not to mention our brave and valiant military men and women who are currently fighting for that very right. So why shouldn’t I display my bumper sticker? If it’s how I feel then that is my right.

It is so very sad that this sentiment is even possible in this great country. I cannot recall a point in my lifetime where this kind of fear was so prevalent. It is shameful. And it is un-American in and of itself to have this fear. It’s also irrational, although I won’t be surprised if my car does get keyed or scratched.

But if that happens, then it says more about the vandal than it does about me. My bumper sticker not only relates how much I love my country, but also how much I fear for her.

What does my bumper sticker say? “DEFEND AMERICA/FIGHT OBAMA.”

If you see me and believe like I do, honk and wave. And know that you are not alone. I am no longer afraid. Don’t you be, either.

Beck Discusses the ‘Angry Mobs’ at Townhall Meetings (VIDEO)

This was a FANTASTIC “The One Thing” segment from Glenn Beck last week. Beck dissects the entire “angry mob” smear from the left, about what’s happening at townhall meetings all across this country, where the discussion is aimed at HR 3200 – the Obamacare bill.

It’s very sad to see that the average citizens has read and knows more about this stupid monstrosity than do our elected officials.

Beck Vs. AARP Spokesman On Supporting ObamaCare (VIDEO)

Today on the show, Glenn had on AARP Spokesman David Certner to defend his group’s alignment with the Obamacare plan, when it’s been overtly shown to completely throw seniors under the “end-of-life-care” bus. Certner says that that’s NOT what he sees in the Obamacare program, but when confronted with statistics about AARP membership declining exponentionally lately, how can Certner deny what HR 3200 truthfully says?

Why even the most recent guidelines on who should get the H1N1 flu shot COMPLETELY ignores anyone over the age of 65! Does anyone doubt for one second why the majority of the folks at the local townhalls recently, screaming and berating their representatives, are seniors? This “end-of-life” bullshit discussion is nothing more than “well, if you’re at age XX, you don’t merit anything more than palliative treatment (i.e., pain meds) as opposed to more expensive surgical procedures.

This, my friends, is coming so closely and eerily to things that were previously thought to be only science fiction – yet, how far-fetched are things like “Soylent Green” seeming to us now? Inch by inch, move by move, until it is accepted in our culture to deny senior citizens care because they are expendable. Who in the hell in this government has the moral or ethical right to make these decisions? This whole thing scares the bejesus out of me, as it should all seniors in this country.

Outrageous indeed – and it’s not “humane” in any way.

Beck On Obama’s Up-Front Agenda on Change – Were We Paying Attention? (VIDEO)

Yesterday on Beck’s show, he outlined clearly for us that Barack and Michelle have been telling us all along what their plan was for this country, and he backs it up with their own words. The saddest part? A lot of Americans didn’t pay attention and dismissed it as political-speak.

Shame on us for ignoring it. He was telling us EXACTLY what his plans were, and yet 52% of us elected him anyway? Talk about a teaching moment! Yet this comes at a very heavy price…hopefully one that we will be able to reverse before we lose our Republic.
