Glenn Beck comes on at 5pm here and I try not to miss a show.
His insight and personality have people flocking to him in droves. He is not biased, so he can see the forest for the trees.
Have you ever read this?
Glenn Beck got one thing right
Say what you want about Beck, he made some of the most accurate statements regarding the true purpose of the Tea Parties.
Instead of turning his rally into a bashfest of Obama and the Democrats, he hammered both parties for their grotesque overspending and unprecedented expansion of the Federal Government.
Under President Bush and six years of Republican rule in Congress, national debt doubled, a balanced budget was never passed, and the size, power, and scope of the Federal government exploded. Plus, the US Dollar lost about 26% of its value. Bush and lots of Republicans in Congress approved the $700 billion bank bailout and other major, billion dollar bailouts of private industry as well.
So, although Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress are currently embarking upon a back breaking spending spree and a sinister government intervention in the free markets, Republicans have very little credibility in this arena. In fact, Republicans should be more ashamed since they claimed to be fiscal conservatives and free market capitalists, while Democrats have been open and honest about their plans to spend us into oblivion and dictate business terms to private institutions.
That being said, there are fiscally responsible Republicans and Democrats, but based on actual voting records, these individuals represent a very small minority. And until we the people begin to vote more of these authentic fiscal conservatives into political office and get rid of the rest, we will be stuck with the same failed policies. Until we stop electing the same old bureaucrats, blindly voting along party lines, or refusing to even entertain fresh perspectives from Independents and Third Party candidates, we will continue toward the economic abyss.
Don’t let these Tea Parties become weapons of partisan warfare. As Glenn Beck so aptly stated, these parties are not about Republican or Democrat. They are about restoring the Constitution, bringing back limited government, respecting States’ rights, protecting individual liberties, paying down debt, balancing budgets, holding officials accountable for their votes, and preserving free market capitalism.
