Glenn Beck created quite a stir earlier tonight. His latest show entitled "We Surround Them," introduced his new website, "The 912 Project."Advertised as a place where the like-minded can join together and reassure one another that they are not alone, the 912 project is a reference to Mr. Beck's nine principles and twelve values listed below.
- America is good.
- I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
- I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
- The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
- If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
- I have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
- I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
- It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or share my personal opinion.
- The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.
The Twelve Values:
- Honesty
- Reverence
- Hope
- Thrift
- Humility
- Charity
- Sincerity
- Moderation
- Hard Work
- Courage
- Personal Responsibility
- Gratitude
As opinionated as I am, I don't know enough about this yet to speak my mind. However, as the proverb says: "He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin."
Having said that, perhaps I will touch on this subject again when I have accumulated more information.
G'day.
