I'm assuming you saw the name and the title and assumed a great deal about the article, which I admit I did as well, but I recommend giving it a read. He directly addresses the divisive nature of the two party system and the equal responsibility both parties have in bringing it about.
It's clearly Glenn Beck's attempt to open up a meaningful dialog between the warring parties, both politically and personally. It's something we're all going to have to do, or all of the great evils we fear will arise from this election's results may truly come about.
And it absolutely must start by not seeking out a label, or a quote, or some ad hominem reason to outright dismiss someone before you've heard them out.
- venomsnake 10y agoI totally read the article. i said he sounds almost reasonable. But that does not erase his body of work in the 2008-2012 years. You cannot make yourself rich with Fox dough and then - oh well, we must unite, when you are probably guilty for 8 to 10% of that division.
- Zikes 10y agoHonestly, who better? He has a following, people who know and respect him as a Conservative leader. How else do you propose getting that message of unity out to a Conservative audience? Besides that, if a person sees the error of their ways, is truly remorseful, and seeks to correct those errors, who are we to stand in their way? If Glenn Beck wants to start preaching respect, unity across ideological barriers, and social progress, then by all means I welcome him. There's been a lot of hurt in this country lately, and if we can learn to forgive people instead of punishing them then we'll all be much better off.
