The Government That We Deserve

I used to make fun of Glenn Beck. I used to think that he over-exaggerated things. Well tonight, I agree with the man wholeheartedly.

Please watch the video of the link that I posted above. If you can't find up there then here it is. I was watching Glenn Beck tonight, which doesn't happen often. But it has started happening more and more often recently.

Have you watched it? Ok. Well this is Glenn Beck's response. He was crying as he started saying it. And honestly it brought me to tears as well.

"What's happening to US? We're Americans. We deserve better. But we haven't done our job. We got sidetracked in stuff. In things. In power and money and everything else. And so now we are getting the government that we deserve. We have to change. It's our fault, but the good news is we are changing. And Senator, let me put you on notice now...Don't you dare treat the American people like King George a second longer! Because we have changed. We're done. We are done."

This moved me. I have been as upset as anyone about what is going on in Washington today. But I sure hope that Glenn is right. I hope that we have changed. I hope that we are done dealing with this crap that these politicians are shoving down our throats. It is time to take back our country! Because the great thing about America is that this is actually OUR country. It's not Obama's, and it's not Congress'. This country belongs to the American people. And it is time to change things. I pray every day that we can fix things. Maybe a shift in congress in November will help. Maybe it won't. All I know is that I am terrified about the path that this country is on. It is time to change it.

The one thing that Mr. Beck said that I don't completely agree with, is that this is "The government that we deserve." Based on what he said, yes. I think that is true. Our negligence allowed this country to be taken over by progressives and socialists. But that doesn't mean that we deserve it. The government that we deserve is one that is run by the people! Not one that is run by politicians with personal agendas. It's time to kick those guys out of office, and put some people that we can trust in there. People that will truly vote based on what their constituents are telling them to do. People that believe in capitalism. People that believe in the American Dream. That believe that in America, you can truly make your own destiny.

Personal responsibility. That is what this is all about. The reason that democrats are big government, is that they are trying to take care of people that are not responsible for their own actions. They taking the people that have fallen on their face, and babying them. Saying, its ok, we know you are stupid, but here is $1000 a month to help you out. Cause it's not your fault. Bull****!

My family is in a position where we could probably qualify for WIC and other government programs. We are close to qualifying for food stamps. But even if we did. There is no way I would accept them. You know why? Because it is mostly my own damn fault that we are in this position. And Christy and I are going to do our best to get us out of this situation. We are going to make our own destiny. Our own dream. And what this administration wants to do, is take those things out of your hands. To hand you "what you deserve." Well what I deserve is responsibility for my own mistakes and successes. Unfortunately there will always be blood suckers out there. People that believe that they deserve help. That the government owes it to them to pay for things for them.

I got sidetracked here for a minute, but this stuff makes me mad. I am not ashamed to say that I am a conservative Republican. I believe that the American people should have control over their own lives. I do not believe in big government. However, I do believe that one of the primary responsibilities of our government is to secure our borders and to protect this great nation! And right now, they could care less. They are doing nothing to protect our borders, and as Senator Stark has shown, they also don't give a damn! They are perfectly happy with letting illegals and drug dealers into our country. It doesn't bother them at all. And that terrifies me. It makes me want to cry. As Glenn Beck said tonight, "We have to change...(And) We have changed. We're Done." We're done with this irresponsibility. Get out there and vote dammit! Let's take this country back!
