Letter to Glenn Beck
Question—-Glenn, Is the Republican Party irrelevant?
Democrats are leading the charge towards Socialism while Republicans follow with feigned reluctance. What is the use of two political parties going the same wrong direction? I can at least see the value of the Democrats. They can serve as a bad example, but what is the use of a party who professes a belief in one thing but acts differently. All this party fighting over whether to have fast big socialism or reluctant well-intentioned “conservative” socialism so clouds the issue of Americanism vs Marxism that I am sick to death of it. I think I may have remained a Republican too long hoping against hope to see some real leadership. Even men in the party whom I canvassed door to door to try to elect somehow turn out to be something else over time in the party. Is the party part of the problem. 70 years ago, Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini, turned the world upside down with the Marxist slip and flip. Karl’s ten planks (the bill of rights for unlimited government) is a direct attack on our individual rights guaranteed in the Declaration and first ten constitutional amendments (the bill of rights of limited government) yet this is most of what we are now about. I wonder if the patriots whose blood lies upon the altar of liberty are amused at our nation’s direction. Party politics to me feels like debating over whether the Hitler or Mussolini plan (of course, with the 1200 page Stalin amendment that no one has the time to read) will best fix our problems.
Have Americans been told so often that religion and politics don’t mix that we are left with only impotent religion that requires nothing outside of Sunday worship and immoral government and leaders that are not accountable before the people or heaven? Has our allegiance to heavenly principal been replaced by our trust in small time bosses to run our lives? Where is the individual sovereignty that our progenitors would die for? Politicians preach a utopian future while pushing us down a path leading to Hell on earth. Can’t we see these are the very false prophets and saviors we have been warned against? Where is the cry and the outrage? Glenn, you are a lone voice in the wilderness. Maybe we won’t really listen until judgment rests upon us and our land looks like Germany or Russia after WWII. I will listen for your comment.
