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.

--> The only debate that matters: The American Experiment -   Can Man Rule Himself?  <--

Video: Beck on the American Experiment

Why was the American experiment called an experiment? Because it never had been tried before. What had never been tried? Man ruling themselves.

Before the founding of America, no system of government had been established that allowed people to successfully rule themselves. Glenn said, “[The Founders] came up with a system that they thought could be the answer.  Can man rule himself?  They said yes.  Now, after that they had to create a system so man could rule himself.  But it required not only a good, brilliant system, it also required good, brilliant people and people to remain engaged and people to remain good.  When they say America was not built for an uneducated or not virtuous people, that’s what they mean.”

In the past, either the church or the king always ruled the serfs, or the common man. All the land was explored and in most cases owned by some lord. But in America, there was vast uncharted territory that was removed from the rest of the civilized world. Glenn said, “A man could go out in the woods and make his own way and people could gather around and they would start a little town.  And they realized, we can do this.”

Glenn said that George Whitfield was another key part of the creation of the American experiment. “He was telling people was you should have a personal relationship with God.  That was different.  The power structure was saying come to me, the priest or the cleric or whoever, come to me; I will tell you what God says and what God says is the king is good.”

“The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, the Declaration of Independence was to say man should rule himself.  The Constitution was put in as, okay, if you follow these things, you might have enough time to be able to really rule yourself.  But just follow these things,” Glenn said.

“Enlightenment. Reason and God. Reject the trappings of everything else.  Listen to God speak to you. Couple it with reason. If God’s like, you should have Snickers every day.  That’s probably not God. That’s not reasonable.  Reason and God.  Leads you to education because you cannot be a less than virtuous person or a dummy and rule yourself.  Which leads to empowerment of standing up and saying, okay, I got it, I have the situation, I know who I am, I know what I’m capable of, I know history.  I’m a smart person and I’m going to do it.  Which leads immediately to creation, which is E4, entrepreneurship.”

“Creation.  All thought is creative.  Remember that.  That is the system of our founders.  I believe that’s the system of God.”

Glenn said that the current educational system, which more and more seem to be run by Marxists and progressives, are churning out students who aren’t capable of creative thought. “Look at those studies.  They cannot reason.  They get out of school and they can’t separate fact from fiction.  Opinion and emotion, from truth.  There’s no reason being taught,” Glenn said.

Can man rule himself? Stu believes the answer is yes.

“An enlightened, educated, empowered, entrepreneurial man can rule himself.  We have to become those people.  We have to make sure that we’re people.  And when we are, we can.  And it’s exactly what the founders said,” Stu thought.
