I was at The Villages in Florida today to check out Glenn Beck’s rally. I have some pictures, which I’ll upload to my site later. Right now I want to put down my thoughts on his 100-Year Plan.
First off, let me tell you that Beck was amazing. On the radio, he’s just a voice. On TV, he’s a character. When you see him in real life, you realized the fire and depth this man has inside of him.
While he has been asking a lot of questions of late, it is not until now that Beck will tell us how we can get the answer and solve the problems. The idea behind the 100-Year Plan, is that it took Progressives 100 years for them to get where they are today. And it just might take 100 years to take it back. Since we don’t have a national leader, then maybe we need to tell our leaders to follow the followers.
To start out with, we need to be educated:
Education is key, and not just for our children. To that end, we will be conducting a series of conventions. These will be full-day experiences where you will be immersed in learning about topics ranging from self-reliance, community organizing, the economy and how to be a political force in your own neighborhood and country. The first one will be in Orlando at UCF Arena on March 27th. You will also be able to vote to have a convention in your region by clicking here.
I suggest you demand that there be one in your area. I’m lucky that the first one will be in my area (Orlando). My main focus will be on community organizing and how to be a politician. As you can see, I am sick of being a follower and want to see if I have what it takes to be a leader. On August 28, 2010, Beck will lay out The Plan on retaking America.
I do want to clear up a few things from Hot Air:
The China reference was only on how the Chiness have a 100-Year plan of their own. Beck only says that it is time we get our own 100-Year plan. He didn’t say anything about thinking like China, but we do need to compete One-On-One with China.
While Glenn Beck is not specifically for 3rd-parties, he thinks that the both the Repubican and Democratic parties are corrupt and out of touch with the American people. If this cluture of corruption doesn’t end soon, Glenn has three simple words: “So Be It!”.
Ok, right now I am falling asleep just writing this down. I will try and upload some pictures I got today on my own site. Peace out!

It won't take 100 years to undo the damage...

But, Beck is right… Education is the key.

I don't agree with it not taking 100 years...
LaborUnionReport (Diary) Saturday, November 21st at 11:33PM EST (link)The assault from the left has been nearly continual for 100 years or more…
America is the last beacon to hold that the individual is superior to the collective and the state. However, that has been changing for decades and, after tonight’s Senate vote, the state has taken a giant leap to making the individual a slave to the state.
The apparatus will take many many years to undo, and I am not sure that the vast majority of Americans have the stomach for it.

Not 100 years ..
acat (Diary) Saturday, November 21st at 11:50PM EST (link).. the actual time depends on how well Conservatives do at actually governing by conservative principles.
Last time, i.e. post-Reagan, after cutting back and cutting taxes and starting a huge economic boom, we got .. squishy RINOs and triangulating Dems.
We don’t need another Reagan – we need an *army* of teachers, mayors, city council leaders, statehouse seat holders, judges, business people, etc.

It's time to fight back,
reverendred (Diary) Saturday, November 21st at 11:59PM EST (link)and not just on blogs. I think the great disease of good people is this: we think that governing is for others, and that if we are just good citizens and vote for the right kind of people all should go well enough. Meanwhile the socialists have worked like slaves for the last 40 years to steal our country away, and only now are we taking notice. Yes, we have to realize how they did it, and take our country back. They took over education and government to a large extent, and now we have to push in the other direction. But as Rasmussen recently found, the majority of Americans are conservative. We just have to mobilize, and marginalize the minority.

ColdWarrior (Diary) Sunday, November 22nd at 1:51AM EST (link)I was at a Maricopa County Republican Party fundraiser tonight.
Former U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth was the Master of Ceremonies. Sheriff Joe Arpaio was there as one of the “draws” along with County Attorney Andrew Thomas.
I expected a much bigger turnout. I think only about 100 were in attendance. I’m just over 50 — 95 per cent of the people there
were at least ten years older than me.
We need to fight back WITHIN the Party as voting members of it — as precinct committeemen. And we need to recruit younger people to get involved. And, of course, educate them in basic civics.
What matters is winning the elections, obviously. But, to win we have to have decent candidates win the primary elections. That’s where being a precinct committeeman comes in.
Besides being able to vote for the leadership of the Party, PCs are in the best position to evaluate the primary candidates. The primary candidates come to the monthly meetings and put on presentations on what they believe and why the PCs should support their candidacy. The candidates know that a good PC can help get the vote out in the crucial first election, the primary election.
I believe the TOP priority of every Redstate-er should be becoming a PC as soon as possible. HALF the PC slots in the Party were unfilled on Election Day 2008. No wonder we get lousy candidates winning the primaries and we have trouble getting out the vote.
DO something besides writing the next blog entry that is going to somehow save the world. Please come into the Party as a precinct committeeman. It does not take a lot of time or effort. You put into it what your can. But you WILL make a huge difference inside the Party where it counts — electing the leadership and helping the BEST conservative candidates win the primary elections.

Unemployment will continue to rise as long as we continue to buy our own debt, and the federal bureaucracy has reached the point where it has no choice but to borrow more money. It has begun to collapse under its own weight.
2010 is an election year and the attempted government take-over of the entire healthcare industry, successful or not, will be their Waterloo.

They better get the stomach to do it and quick
sharonmcp (Diary) Saturday, November 21st at 11:59PM EST (link)Because according to Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner…
“The American people became accustomed to an unhealthy pace of increasing material prosperity that is incompatible with the more socially conscious restraint President Obama is trying to bring to this country.”
“Rising home values, rising investment values, rising salaries all stimulate a sense of greed that is at odds with the type of new nation Obama is trying to build,” Geithner said. “This country was already on the path to learning to live with reduced expectations under President Carter until Reagan took us off the track.”
Geithner insisted that “those who criticize what we’re doing now to get back on track are deluded by an unrealistic optimism about the future. In most of the rest of the world people are much poorer than even Americans who are out of work. Accommodating to lower expectations and living standards is the path that the President has chosen for this country. The sooner people get with the program the easier it will be for all.”

Sorry, I was duped

Educate the kids
VizBiz (Diary) Sunday, November 22nd at 9:02AM EST (link)Beck is right. Since our schools are not sufficient in teaching the proper history of America, then it is up to us to teach our kids. We have to make it important to them.
I don’t think fear is the way to teach (ie. if you let socialist/democrats have their way your life will be like …..). I believe we should teach them about prosperity and opportunity that America affords them. Teach them that living on Govm’t handouts will guarantee their poverty and why.

Self reliance and problem solving is something I see BIG TIME lacking right now. I see these couples with reduced incomes from the economy I guess and they are about near having nervous breakdowns. They aren’t anywhere near starving or doing without heat but they just can’t prioritize. A lot of self reliance is doing without, they don’t see a lot can go while they keep rent paid, it’s so crazy. You’d think Christmas toys was like heat, I want to tell them to sun will still rise on 12/26 without tons of Christmas presents from the day before! LOL
Self-reliance is doing what is uncomfortable, there are parts of the economy that are still doing ok with jobs, but a lot of people don’t want to do something inconvenient. It’s so silly IMHO.
