   Henry II of England said “Will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?” and 4 of his knights set out to kill Thomas Becket. I doubt AG Blumenthal even needs to say that much and people are already moving to get even with Beck. Glenn is about to find out what “DWB” means!

    on a different note, did anybody else see this from WND?

    You may have seen the major news story of a private plane that crashed into a Montana cemetery, killing seven children and seven adults. But what the news sources didn’t mention is that the Catholic Holy Cross Cemetery contains a memorial for local residents to pray the rosary at the “Tomb of the Unborn.” The memorial was erected as a dedication to all babies who have died because of abortion.

    The family who died in the crash near the location of the abortion victims’ memorial were the daughters and grandchildren of Irving “Bud” Feldkamp, owner of the largest for-profit abortion chain in the nation.

    Wow….the irony.

    This yo-yo is Attorney General in Connecticut, the Insurance State. Hartford is home to quite a few insurance companies, and there are more than a few people that work on Wall Street that live in Stamford.

    I foresee bad things for his re-election campaign.

He is already involved in a dispute in regards to the construction of a 6 ft wall/fence around his property. Local laws only permit a 4 ft fence but he did get a waiver.

    The Connecticut Attorney General is obviously not interested in what the law says. He’s much more interested in the publicity that comes from feeding a mob mentality. Wise men of the past have warned us against being governed by “passion” rather than “reason”:

    Even the best of men in authority are liable to be corrupted by passion. We may conclude then that the law is reason without passion, and it is therefore preferable to any individual.
    — Aristotle

    When laws are hastily changed or reinterpreted based on the passions of the moment, private enterprise is stifled. Few will invest today if they’re afraid laws and taxes are going to change drastically tomorrow. For a free nation to thrive, it needs stability not “change”.

    No man will contend that a nation can be free, that is not governed by fixed laws. All other government than that of permanent known laws, is the government of mere will and pleasure.
    — John Adams

    For far too long we have not expected those we elect to conduct themselves as public servants. We critcize the Culture of Entitlement. Who acts more entitled at the moment than most of our government leaders?

    When have you seen a politician show any humility? Their arrogance is nauseating. Glenn Beck asking a direct question is a start. However, what is really needed is for citizens to call the bluffs of these pompous politicians.

    The chairman of GM should have told Obama publically, “I serve at the pleasure of the board of directors and stockholders of GM, not you Mr. President. They, not you, determine my employment with GM.”

    We need to be good citizens and obey the law. However, we demand the same and even more from our elected officials. We need to have the courage and confidence to stand up to them and tell them “No, you are out of line.”

    I watched this man with Glenn – - he had no answers, and gives the words “abuse of power” a whole new meaning. He’s not much different than Cuomo, looking to use the situation to promote their own political careers. All should be very afraid of such men and act to replace them …

    No integrity, no character.

    An Avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men to stretch, to misinterpret, and to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he a establishes a precedent that will reach to himself. – Thomas Paine (1795)

    Liberals can’t even manage the difference between right and wrong, let alone what passes for simple law. All those bonuses were approved and originally EXEMPTED by democrats in congress…a party line vote…probably had something to do with who got what contribution to their election fund as well, and we’d never hear of AIG now except obummer and his buffoons needed a fall guy. Add to that now another idiot democrat whining about who is deserving of what….he better hope the country is slow to hold democrat politicians deserving of what they should get as well. Mr. Beck has a simple approach; combines common sense with the truth, which puts him right at the top of the democrat hate list, but his viewership numbers show he’s got a lot of support out here in the real America.

    Waterboyz, the questions were not asked, because the MSM knew what the answers were. Exposing his real views would have been a death sentence and their man had to win at all costs.

    It may be a good start though I hardly doubt it would be convincing enough to prohibit their return. Is mention of Uncle Rhemus’ Tarbaby still considered a racist thing among today’s PC sensitive crowd? First clue, it has nothing to do with color Ethnicity or Race at all. Second clue, it would make a really nice suit for all these politicians. At least, it would make them easy to identify and keep track of.

    That’s how he got to the position that he’s in. Our society doesn’t reward the slow-but steady, the conservative “wait and see” types. We reward the aggressive bullies, the “rules are made to be broken!” types. They wrest for power, and we cheer them on. They’re monsters, but we’re Frankensteins.

    As far as Glenn Beck, this is another demonstration of why he is so great. He calls these idiots out on their BS, and he has nothing but facts to back it up. He is second only to Rush, in my opinion.

    This is a pretty sick sentiment. If you’re certain God is pro-life, I’m kind of hard-pressed to figure out why He’d “intervene” and kill children, likely kids who haven’t considered the abortion issue, in a plane crash.

    Deuteronomy 5:9-10 says, “I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the third and the fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing lovingkindness to thousands [of generations, see 7:9], to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” Not fair, I know, but there it is.
