It was Bash Beck day in the main stream media on Monday. They again accuse Beck of inciting violence. Still no facts to back that up. This exchange occurred while debating Keith Olbermann leaving MSNBC.
About the 2:15 in the video below, the CNN show Reliable Sources on 1/23/11, guest Davis Shuster claims unchallenged that people are inspired by Glenn Beck to carry out violence. I have listened and watched Glenn Beck for several years. And have NEVER heard Beck suggest violence of ANY kind ever. In fact especially the last couple of years he has gone out of his way to plead for NON VIOLENCE because that is exactly what the left expects to happen to further their cause to shut down Conservative talk radio and television.

This is frustrating because the state of media and politics is so hot right now, but does that mean we should just stop caring? America is passionate, always has been. Freedom to debate and voice our opinions is a cornerstone of the foundation of this land and it's freedom. Yes we can be careful, but we can also be careful to not silence opinion because when you silence that, you silence caring.

Blame ? Or the Truth ?
Truth prevails always. Please take a moment before you jump on the "Blame the right wing wacko's" train. Violence has always been a part of this world and there are always people out there who will blame it on their enemies. This not a "you did it too" article, but I just wanted to point out the hypocrisy in the Liberal Media flaring up over the last few days. Do your own research, reach your own conclusions, don't let MSNBC, CNN, John Stewart, FoxNews or Beck for your information... you can read, YOU can decide.
TRUTH --- examples of hate and violence from the left ...
If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun."

Do I think he meant that literally, of course not because I use common sense.

| is this violent and hateful? |
And if that was not enough, with all the talk of Sarah Palin "targeting" during a campaign push, well it seems that this is fairly common practice. See this example from this site Democratic Leadership Council in 2004.

Would Washington Be Proud?
I took this photo today in Pittsburg, KS. It is in front of an old vacant school... the fact that nobody bothers to take down torn and ripped flag really hit me. Would Washington be proud of this display ? Is this why he and the founders did what they did?
This nation is really going through a change... will it be for good, or for bad? I think we will get past all of the bickering and trouble but it might take some serious struggles. Imagine seeing this image during the revolution that formed this country and the damage could be from the battles of war... but no this, like so many things is a symbol of where we are in America.
The battle damaged flags waved as a sign that we are not giving up, we will survive. Today's weathered and tattered flag is from neglect and indifference, let's just hope it does not become a battle damaged flag once again.
Would Washington Be Proud ?
God Bless America !!

Fall In Kansas, and Me
Rain in the spring can awaken the world with color and new growth and in the fall it can renew as well. Recently it rained here in Kansas and before that the colors of fall were gray, faded and not inspiring. After the rain it was like God went through and did his version of a "photoshop enhance" as only he can. The greens were brighter, the browns of the wood became darker and created a brighter contrast with the glorious changing leaves. Truly wonderful.... Thank you God!
While fall is my favorite season, it makes me look back at the spring and summer with good memories and also the constant fear that I did not do enough. But being over 50, I seem to have those thoughts year around lately. And I do so knowing that winter is right around the corner.
But winters come and go. Life flies by and before you know it, most of it is behind you and less in front of you. I heard this great quote today... "You live life forward, you understand it backwards". Still working on the understanding part though. Some days I feel content and comfortable and some I feel worry and discomfort. Not really physical discomfort but the feeling that I have not done enough, mainly with my family. I try but do I try enough.. ? How do you know or how can you tell? I have a wonderful wife, 3 great daughters, and 2 great step-children, a good job, food to eat, a great home and family. So maybe I did do ok. But then again, some times it is hard to decode. But then is it up to us to decode?
I feel this is a rambling mess, but I am trying to make these postings more frequently and include something other than politics. Time for us to heal, grow and learn from each other. I understand there are some things about loved ones that I will never understand or agree with and I am ok with that... I still love you all !!
Fall is here... and passing by very fast, this year any way.
Here's to many more falls !
