Daily Thought Pad: Can Man Rule Himself???

The government is regulating the country to death, and preventing the U.S. from becoming competitive and from doing
business. America does not need more regulations, it needs entrepreneurs. But where will those entrepreneurs come
from? Recent studies are showing that students are not learning in college and the America’s youth is losing its ability
to think creatively. Can you rule yourself? You can if you are enlightened, educated, empowered, and an entrepreneur.
And Glenn also gives his response to the New York Times article which blames him for threats to Frances Fox Piven.

Focus on this question: Can Man Rule Himself? It is the focus of The American Experiment.

The Founding Fathers thought… knew we could. But the elites or progressives, who believe the are smarter than the average American and are needed to help and control the rest of us, do not think we are capable.

And now the Progressive White House is changing the name of this recovery program and putting Jeff Immelt in charge of it… really?? With what qualifications? (Or is that Immelt, GE and NBC have been great progressive supporters of Obama, ObamaCare and Global Warming/Climate Change… and the list goes on)

Appearing on ABC’s “This Week,” New York Times columnist and economist Paul Krugman said the president’s apparent shift to the center recently is “kinda sad” and went on to say that America is not about competition.

The comment came as host Christiane Amanpour brought up the recent appointment of GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt as the chair of the White House’s new Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. That, coupled with some apparent pro-business decisions recently, led to the topic of the president’s “shift” and a discussion of competition (the foundation of business and capitalism). When Amanpour said competition was about as American as apple pie (paraphrase) Krugman couldn’t have disagreed more. Read rest of story with video Here

Man “can” absolutely rule himself!! He can rule himself if he is Enlightened, Educated, Empowered, and believes and practices Entrepreneurship.

During his Christmas performance in Wilmington Ohio, Beck announced his E4 Project which stands for the 4 E's that he believes are at the core to restoring America: Enlightenment, Education, Empowerment, and Entrepreneurship. (Education, obviously means in truths, traditions and values that we believe in, no by The Little Red School Bus!)

Declaration Of Independence, Constitution Of The United States Of America, Bill Of Rights And Constitutional Amendments along with the The Federalist Papers and the The 5000 Year Leap (Original Authorized Edition) are a good place to start!!

Why is the media not covering an assassination attempt on Missouri’s Democratic governor Jay Nixon by 22-year-old Casey Brezik? Why has the limited coverage not prompted the same level of speculation as the attack perpetrated by Jared Lee Loughner? Could it be because he’s an anti-capitalist, anti-Christian, left wing crazy person? Glenn had the story on radio this morning from RedState.com:

“The rightwing kooks. Okay. ‘22‑year‑old kook Casey Brezik wore a bulletproof vest and charged towards Missouri’s Democratic governor Jay Nixon with a knife and attempted to slash his throat. Now, how is it that we have not heard about this story? ”In light of the media’s race to talk about the rights climate of hateful rhetoric, you probably guessed by now that Casey was an anti‑Christian, anticapitalist leftists who participated in a number of leftwing protests. He’s also diagnosed a paranoid schizophrenic. Luckily for all involved, Brezik was high on pot at the time and so was a little confused. Instead of slashing the governor’s throat, he slashed the throat of a community college Dean he took for the governor.’ A throat was slashed and this isn’t a story. He was going for the governor,” Glenn read on radio.

Glenn, however, refused to believe the story unless it was verified by additional sources. “Now, I won’t hear of this story anymore until I have forty sources,” he said.

“A man accused of stabbing a Kansas City college official intended to attack Missouri governor Jay Nixon and mistakenly believed he had done so police said Thursday. The suspect, 22‑year‑old Casey Brezik, did not know Nixon and had no particular beef with the governor. But he decided to attack him because he was a top government official, Kansas City police spokesperson Darin Snapp said,” Stu read from The Huffington Post. The article did not mention the political views of Casey Brezik.

Glenn could not believe that more news sources were not reporting the story.

Pat expressed some disbelief, saying, “It can’t have happened because you know they would have tracked down the violent rhetoric that set him off and they would have done an intensive investigation as to whose violent rhetoric set him off.”

Glenn did not want to have any more commentary or discussion until more research came out on the matter.

“When you have 39 more sources, you let me know. Because I’ve got real news to report,” he said.
