Ideological? Who Me?

Glenn Beck sums up the misleading usage of ideological and pragmatic that we hear so much about these days:

How about some honesty...let's both present our ideologies, figure out where we agree and disagree, and work out a decent solution, rather than just belittling the other side. So many opinions deemed "evil" or "hateful" by the other side are just logical extensions of a difference in assumptions earlier up the chain of argument. Maybe if we unraveled each others arguments to understand them, we'd be better off than just conveniently labeling others.

Beck on the Bailout

Like many, I'm trying to get a handle on the bailout and the economic mess that led to it. Here's a synopsis that I like so far:

Glenn Beck: What happened?
Glenn Beck: What's Coming
Glenn Beck: What Can I Do to Prepare? (all 3 are good, but wow this one is awesome!)

And some more great thoughts on the state of the economy:

Commentary: Get ready for more economic trouble ahead

McCain Doesn't Know?

McCain doesn't know if Obama is a socialist: CNN article

Considering he has a further left voting record than a declared socialist and speaks about how we need more "shared prosperity" and that he's afraid of an "on your own" society...I'd say it's pretty much a textbook definition.

Beck on this topic here. I'll gladly share my prosperity with my neighbors, but I don't want the government doing it for me (Apr 15 doesn't feel like "give to charity" day to me) -- I'd rather they leave me "on my own".

Think they deserve it? Yeah, they deserve it!


Thanks to Glenn Beck for posting this on his site and once again exposing what we're dealing with when it comes to Islamic extremism. See the full transcript from his radio show on this here.
