Glenn Beck Series - Day 1: The New Republic: America's Future



Glenn Beck is doing a series this week that he asks us to watch and to share with everyone we know. I've decided to post "The One Thing" video from each day and ask everyone to watch his shows this week at 5 PM ET on the Fox News Channel.

Question With Boldness
Monday, August 24, 2009
By Glenn Beck

Am I hateful if I ask:

• Can we survive this debt? If yes, how?

• Why the rush on health care reform, cap-and-trade?

• Who is writing these bills?

• Will Washington read and understand the bills?

• Why are you called "grassroots" if you are for, but "Astroturf" if you are against?

• Our unfunded liabilities for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is close to $100 trillion. Is there any way to pay for these programs without bankrupting America?

• We are in so much debt, why spend more borrowed money on cap-and-trade and health care programs before we stop the flow of red ink?

• The stimulus package funneled billions of dollars to ACORN: How does giving billions of dollars to ACORN stimulate the economy?

• If it was so important for Congress to pass the stimulus bill before they even had time to read it, why has only a fraction of the stimulus money been spent six months later?

• Former President Bush said he had to abandon free market principles in order to save them; how exactly does that work?

• Why won’t member of Congress read the bills before they vote on them?

• Why are citizens mocked and laughed at when they ask their congressman to read the bills before they vote on them?

• Was the "cash for clunkers" program meant to save the Earth or the economy? Did it accomplish either?

• How did Van Jones, a self-proclaimed communist, become a special adviser to the president?

• Did President Obama know of Van Jones’ radical political beliefs when he named him special adviser?

• The Apollo Alliance claimed credit for writing the stimulus bill; why was this group allowed to write any portion of this bill?

• If politicians aren’t writing the bills and aren’t reading the bills, do they have any idea what these 1,000-page plus bills actually impose on the American people?

• If the "public option" health care plan is so good, why won’t politicians agree to have that as their plan?

• If town hall meetings are intended for the politicians to learn what’s on our mind, why do they spend so much time talking instead of listening?

• Politicians are refusing to attend town hall meetings complaining, without evidence, that they are scripted. Does that mean we shouldn’t come out and vote for you since every campaign stop, baby kiss and speech you give is scripted?

• Why would you want to overwhelm the system?

• Is using the economic crises to rush legislation through Congress what Rahm Emanuel meant when he talked about not letting a crisis go to waste?

• What are the president's "czars" paid? What is the budget for their staffs/offices?

— Watch "Glenn Beck" weekdays at 5 p.m. ET on FOX News Channel

  1. How about if the congressmen think it's silly to read the bills, can't understand the language the bills are written in, and aren't writing the bills, then what the heck are they doing up in Washington? Isn't that what we elected them to do?

    Is it 'hateful' to ask that?

  2. My opinion is that the congressmen think their sole purpose is to get re-elected and collect a nice pension. They don't seem to give a damn what their constituents think or want.

    And yes, it is hateful and "racist" to ask any question of them.

    Thanks for commenting.

  3. I am in Dallas this week. After an 8 hour drive and an early supper late lunch...with half priced adult beverages...I watched this and was attempting a live blogging post. I fell asleep before I got it done. And now you have done a good job of it. So if you do not mind...kind lady...I will repost.
