You Are Not Alone

Unfortunately I did not post this, but I wish I had thought of something like this. This is taken from Glenn Beck's website and is discussed frequently on his radio program as well as his TV show.


Do you watch the direction that America is being taken in and feel powerless to stop it? Do you believe that your voice isn’t loud enough to be heard above the noise anymore? Do you read the headlines everyday and feel an empty pit in your stomach…as if you’re completely alone? If so, then you’ve fallen for the Wizard of Oz lie. While the voices you hear in the distance may sound intimidating, as if they surround us from all sides—the reality is very different. Once you pull the curtain away you realize that there are only a few people pressing the buttons, and their voices are weak. The truth is that they don’t surround us at all. We surround them. So, how do we show America what’s really behind the curtain? Below are nine simple principles. If you believe in at least seven of them, then we have something in common.

The Nine Principles

1. America is good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

If you agree with at least seven of those principles, then you are not alone.

Watch the Glenn Beck Show on Friday, March 13th at 5:00pm EST for more. He's going to be doing an in depth discussion on each of these.

Along with this there are 12 values that Glenn believes the average American believes in. These are essential to building this country back up and I believe every parent should be teaching their children.

Honesty
Reverence
Hope
Thrift
Humility
Charity
Sincerity
Moderation
Hard Work
Courage
Personal Responsibility
Friendship

These are core values in every person and I will be looking at each of these in the future. Looking at my life and seeing where I display these values and where I could work a little harder to improve in respect to them.
