Is Glenn Beck Poisoned or Blessed?
Hi Glenn,
I watched the “being poisoned” episode tonight on television. We do dvr you everyday. Perhaps we all need to be lifted up occasionally.
1) You do a great job of informing those people who want to listen and some who listen to figure out just what you are up to.
2) You encourage all of us to think and do research before we vote for any candidate.
3) You plant seeds as when you challenged seniors to home school grandkids. (I believe the bible also talks about planting seeds.)
4) You make us realize that our kids do not have the same terrible memories we grew up with (Bonhoffer).
5) You make us think about peaceful ways to overcome tyranny as Ghandi did( Jesus Christ also set this example in the bible).
6) You make us believe that God really had a hand in forming this nation, when even my generation grew up thinking church and state was separated at creation.
7) You give me a channel and outlet for commonsense that I thought was lost.
8) You make me think it might really be possible to help kids learn genuine critical thinking skills, rather than succumbing to propaganda and indoctrination.
9) You make me think God reveals his purpose to some of us. You have been blessed. Take strength from that knowledge.
We need to change two other clichés in the American family. I grew up discussing 1) religion and 2) politics within my family and with the neighbors, and yet everyone tries to tell me that this is not acceptable in todays generations. I remember my Grandfather and his acquaintances discussing politics and the price of corn and beef at the local feedstore. I remember my Dad getting into hot debates at the truckstop. Is everyone afraid to debate their views now? Perhaps our government doesn’t want us to develop critical thinking skills.
That would mean simple political ideas like “Hope and Change” might be questioned. Perhaps future generations might ask, what kind of hope or what kind of change? I remember history having been repeated from the Carter administration. Here is another Presidential candidate that came from nowhere, offered “change” and a “break from career politicians”. Guess what. That generation voted for a sorry bill of goods as well. We got high price gqs, lines at the gas pump, and shortages, 21% interest on mortgages, and credit cards broke the 12% ceiling that had been leveled on them at the time. Thank God Carter was a 1 term president.
