My husband swears by some conspiracy theories. My positive outlook normally refuses to think that bad of people – but yesterday my doubter kicked in. After one hour watching Glenn Beck, I was ready to barricade the front yard and go off the grid.
The balance of freedom hinges on the leaders putting the needs of the country first and the country choosing to be educated about the path the leaders are taking. Listening to Glenn Beck, reading the blogs online (left, right and center) and listening to other talk show hosts (both local, regional and national) leaves me wondering what chance freedom has in this atmosphere.
Paranoia, fear, selfishness, greed, anger, resentment . . . that just begins the list of emotions I am hearing and feeling thrown out around me. I know that the hope and the encouragement exist because I have experienced them first hand, but I do not SEE those!
The election for new leaders draws closer each day. The leaders should be people ready to invest it all for a moment and not those looking to launch a career. The country needs to understand the motives and desires of those being sent to lead and not just look at the R or D beside the name.
Think about it – if things do not change then we are just going to prove Glenn Beck right, and no one wants that do they?
