God Bless America- a History

You all know by now that I’m a fan of Glenn Beck. It’s a given. I listen to him on the radio as often as I can, I’ve seen him live twice (met him and had a photo opp, even), I link his articles and videos all the time and I’m all set to see his political tour when it is beamed into theaters across the country, live from Dallas. Oh, and I’m an “Insider”.

Why does this one man, this former alcoholic with “raging ADD”, this “sick twisted freak”, why does he touch such a chord with me? Because he says the things I want to say. Only he tends to say them better- and with a whole lot more research.

Today, on this 4th of July, I want you to take a minute or two and learn a little bit about this great country that you maybe didn't know. Go over to Glenn's website (GlennBeck.com) and click the "Current Events and Politics" tab. Then click "God Bless America". I don't care what party you belong to or what ethnic group you are from. This should move your heart.

And that's why Glenn gets my airtime and my entertainment dollars. He's a patriotic man, a man who believes in God and country. And, above all, a man who can make me laugh.

If you're going to see his Unelectable 08 in West Des Moines let me know. We'll get some Godiva and tissues before hand.
