How do you ignore what is going on the in the country? You don't. Listen, Glenn Beck stated two and a half years ago that the country's credit rating was going to be downgraded and that the blame would be put on others. Understandably the credit rating was downgraded. We are going in the wrong direction and have been for a long time. We have got to stop the spending. We have got to reduce the size of government. In the meantime, they have set in motion things that are now probably too late undo. If you haven't started storing food ... start now, prices are going to go up. Start preparing. Start paying attention and start being vocal about it. Those who are supposed to be leading the country are destroying it but we can stop them from doing it completely.
I'm reading a fantastic book right now by David Mamet, THE SECRET KNOWLEDGE. I highly recommend it.
"Now he goes much deeper, employing his trademark intellectual force and vigor to take on all the key political and cultural issues of our times, from religion to political correctness to global warming. A sample:
The problems facing us, faced by all mankind engaged in Democracy, may seem complex, or indeed insolvable, and we, in despair, may revert to a state of wish fulfillment-a state of "belief" in the power of the various experts presenting themselves as a cure for our indecision. But this is a sort of Stockholm Syndrome. Here, the captives, unable to bear the anxiety occasioned by their powerlessness, suppress it by identifying with their captors. This is the essence of Leftist thought. It is a devolution from reason to "belief," in an effort to stave off a feeling of powerlessness. And if government is Good, it is a logical elaboration that more government power is Better. But the opposite is apparent both to anyone who has ever had to deal with Government and, I think, to any dispassionate observer. It is in sympathy with the first and in the hope of enlarging the second group that I have written this book.
Back to your regularly scheduled program tomorrow.
Much love,
