Common Sense
My mom is a big Glenn Beck fan, and almost faithfully watches him everyday at 5:00.
Some time ago, she gave me his book, “Common Sense” to read. Well because of about 100 things going on at once in our household, I haven’t been able to read it until now.So far, I like it, and found a few good quotes to share from the book, such as this very interesting quote from Martin Luther King, Jr.
“The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.”
Seems a bit extreme, but it’s hard for me to understand apathy, and I guess the same went for Martin Luther King, Jr. He just expressed it very strongly.
I liked this next one from Glenn Beck:
“America has been slowly pulled off the course charted for us in Philadelphia more than two centuries ago. Through legitimate “emergencies” involving war, terror, and economic crises. politicians on both sides have gathered illegitimate new powers-playing on our fears and desire for security and economic stability-at the expense of our freedoms. And now, after supposedly massive change, not only are well still on the wrong track, but it feels as though our new conductor has just increased the speed at which our misdirected train is traveling.”
