'The leader we need is you,' Beck tells 17,000 at BYU

Guys like this think they have all the answers but their solutions are rarely feasible or practical.

I love to listen to Br Glenn and his inspiring words. (some somewhat worldly from his NY radio/TV environment)
He ocassionally mentions his personal LDS experiences, baptisms, sacrament, etc.
And, his open gratitude for it saving his life from alcoholism and drugs shows his humility and contrition.
His FOX News tribute to President Hinckley was very touching and sincere.
Google 'Glenn' to listen, and YouTube too for interviews and the tribute.
Let's all prepare for the end of the world as we know it.
Thanks Glenn.

Glenn Beck is correct, it's who we are, we will survive the four years of either presidental candidate, being they are both so similar.
Then maybe a new icon will appear, who may bring us back to the sense of direction of our founding fathers. Great country who has stumbled and fell.
Everyone have a happy fourth of July in rememberance of God and country.

Glenn Beck is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys like Ernest T. Bass think they have all the answers but their solutions are rarely coherent or logical.

It's hard to find a humble celebrity, but Glenn is trying to keep moving in that direction. I've read some of his literature and heard his testimony, and he's sincere. He doesn't have all the answers, but I am glad that he and others like him are reminding us of why we need to stand up keep pioneering in our own time. America's new frontier is no longer the wild west, but the immorality, rationalization, and selfishness all around us.

evidently the man doesn't know the difference between the Declaration of Indepencence and the Constitution. Check out how each begins. How desperate are we for "inspiration" and "leadership" if this is what satisfies us?

We succeeded in throwing out Cannon. I think that if the people put their mind to it, anything is possible. But then doofuses like yourself will never figure that out.

I love Glenn Beck! I love men who are willing to stand up for what they believe! Go Beck! And.. Go all you other men out there who stand up for God, Country and Family, YOu are awesome!!!! You will be blessed!

I'll resist any such leader who follows a "prophet."

Oh E.T. Bass... as opposed to you whose words are cliched, negative, and never filled with anything but bitterness and bile. You're so practical and real... and who needs you. We do. But we need you to get positive and make a contribution. We are all we've got.

Whats that matter Ernest can't handle it when someone actually talks about whats good with America and tells the people of America that we have the ability to accomplish things without the help of a big brother government.

Ernest, he is simply reminding you that you are the answer. "We the people" control our destiny.

Beck is correct. In American, when we have depended on the government or looked outside of the "people" for the answer, we have become a little more weak, a little less potent, and a little more enslaved.

The greatest part of America is the chance, the risk, the guts it takes for individual Americans to make decisions and develop themselves in a way that will address problems and prepare us for future success. I've never known a President, a government, nor a "program" that has done more than what the "collective good" or the "cumulative hard work of individuals" in making this country what it should be. I am going to do as Beck advises and look inward for answers and solutions rather than politicians or government or programs......

Ernest...your pessimistic comment is what our political leaders today want to keep us right where they have us. Were the solutions of the Founding Fathers considered practical or feasible? Great leaders have ideas that others tell them can't be done and they set out and prove them wrong.

Just because you can't or won't...don't go telling others they shouldn't. You're wrong and you bring down others with your pessimism. Keep it to yourself. Instead, focus on whatever small thing you can do to be part of the solution and go out and do it. If it's just voting for the right people...do it. Every little bit helps. But don't bring others down!

How are the people not the answer? While I understand that it is not an easy solution nor one that can happen overnight. I don't understand where you think the answer lies if not in the people. I am not going to guess what your answer will be, I am genuinely curious to know what you think the answer is. Or if you believe that there is no answer and America is sunk.

Glenn, you sick, twisted, freak! I get it, brutha. Keep on keepin' on.

All is well.

Nothing like preaching to the choir. Glenn Beck is so full of himself.

Dear Anonymous

Brilliant comment, wouldn't want to follow God when someone like you knows better.

This is addressed to "Anonymous" @ 7:14 AM. Let's take your commentary and apply that logic to the Pilgrims. They followed their promptings of the Almighty God to leave their home and sail across the Atlantic Ocean to a distant unknown land. This, so they can worship their Lord and God without the fear of persecution.

It's obvious you have a problem with someone's religious beliefs. If that's the case, then you will a definite problem with our nation's Founding Fathers. May I refer to you a book entitled, "America's God and Country" by William J. Federer. Glenn Beck is an American who has not forgotten what made this country "a choice land". Nothing wrong with being patriot.
