The beckoning of my school work means a shorter topic today. Instead of any of the topics mentioned in my prior blog entry, I side track slightly for another inspirational and uplifting entry. This now begs the question, "inspiration from Glenn Beck?" I know the mainstream media paints Mr. Beck as a loon or as someone trying to destroy America. Those who actually watch his show know better. He's funny. He's entertaining. He's enlightening. Yes, I said that word, "enlightening." The topics Glenn Beck discusses come from the very people who blast him. If you ever doubt Mr. Beck, all you have to do is look up the resources he cites.
I can't stand Joy Behar. She's truly a misguided loon. Yet I will watch her show. Not only to ensure I know the viewpoints of an enemy of America and capitalism, but also, for some of the entertaining aspects of her show. So if you view Glenn Beck as the devil and you've never watched the show, I challenge you to watch his show. He might prove you wrong. Of course there's the chance, he'll prove you right.
On Tuesday's show, Glenn, on his trusty blackboard, wrote a series of phrases to help Americans better their country. He is having a rally on Aug 28 in the same spot Martin Luther King Jr gave his famous, "I have a dream" speech. The rally is called "Restoring Honor Rally." On Tuesday, Glenn was showing us how to better ourselves to better our Country.
What he wrote:
1) No peace without HOPE
2) No hope without LIBERTY
3) No liberty without INTEGRITY
4) No integrity without VIRTUE
5) No virtue without ENLIGHTENMENT
6) No enlightenment without TRUTH
I believe he left off one statement: No truth without KNOWLEDGE
To better yourself you need to start at the bottom and work your way to the top. Improve your knowledge. Don't be like the President and his administration who rely on half-truths and innuendos without all of the facts before they speak. Use source material to improve your knowledge. Then you will know the truth.
After you've gained truth, you will possess enlightenment as you understand what is happening around you. With the gaining of enlightenment, you will have virtue - goodness, morality, or uprightness. By possessing virtue, this will help you to have integrity. With integrity, you know liberty and the essence of what liberty represents. Understanding liberty brings about the hope necessary to believe in the future. And from hope springs peace because once people have hope based off of liberty based off of integrity based off of virtue based off of enlightenment based off of truth founded in knowledge, people know how to live together to achieve all of those traits with each other.
I applaud Glenn Beck for this inspiration. I applaud Glenn Beck for his rally to restore honor to our government and our country and our world. Even if you don't like Mr. Beck, you must agree, his words of inspiration can be used by all ideologies.......

His words could have just as easily been directed at the last administration. Half-truths and outright lies got us in thr Iraq war, remember? Dead soldiers? Ring a bell in that vacuous head of yours? Pfft...
ReplyDeleteHey Anonymous, Your full of crap if your too chicken to leave your name.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand people who say "but what about?" They are the same type of people who when in trouble try to mitigate their action, not by pointing to extenuating circumstances in their own behavior, but by trying to point out something or someone else is wrong to divert attention.
ReplyDeleteDoes the fact the Iraq war was based on a half-truth have anything to do with Obama and his administration's actions? I think not. Why don't you debate the topic at hand vice lamenting the past?
Or are you afraid of being out-thought by someone with a vacuous head? Oh ye who posts without a name...
