It's sad enough to see that people in Hollywood hate America and can only point out the negatives in America's past. Even sadder was the columnist op-ed that declared the fourth of July 'A not-so-glorious Fourth' and bashed America relentlessly---but the worst part is it ran in (of all places) the Philadelphia Inquirer. Read the article.
God Bless America
Frustrated with the focus of national conversation (by politicians) being so far off from what regular people are talking about---Glenn remembers back to 9/11 when all of the 'antichrist' politicians from both sides of the aisle came together and united our country. It didn't last long, but it was 'amazing', watching them stand side by side singing God Bless America. Where has that feeling gone and how do we get it back? Glenn explains. (Insiders listen here).
Women causing rape?
Glenn has instructed the dead man walking, best selling author Brad Thor, to call in from time to time just to let Glenn know he is alive. Brad called in today and reported a story coming out of Egypt where a picture is being used to promote the use of the hijab and niqab by Egyptian women. Here is the picture---and Brad explaining to Glenn what it all means. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).
Inaction in action
Glenn put together this look back at what our politicians have said since Jimmy Carter proclaimed, in 1977, that we would never increase our dependence on foreign oil. We've all seen how that worked out. If you are hoping for politicians to act differently this time around---don't hold your breath. The consistency of rhetoric is simply astounding in this incredible (and incredibly depressing) montage. Watch the video.
