“
Reagan said we can come to agreements if we have seven out of ten.
I’m going to give three out of 20. Do you ‑‑ are you personally, or can
you name a friend or a relative, anyone that has three of these?” Glenn
asked.
Here are a few items off of Glenn’s list:
1. Do you know anyone who has the
understanding and gained their understanding of Jesus Christ and defend
it, and they got that understanding from someone like Jeremiah
Wright? Do you know anyone who is a good Christian that believes there
is no salvation unless there’s collective salvation?
2. Do you know somebody who is raised and/or mentored by communists?
3. Do you have friends or acquaintances
that are Marxists, Communists, or have been actively engaged in the
overthrow of the United States government?
4. Have you ever been at a party celebrating someone who has been accused of domestic terrorism?
5. Do you know anyone or have you ever been to a party and gave a toast to someone who is accused of being a Muslim terrorist?
6. Do you or any of your friends have the
belief that terrorism doesn’t really exist? And that by definition
jihad is only a holy struggle?
7. How many of you or how many of your
friends have hired members of the Muslim Brotherhood to provide security
for your business or their business? Or would hire members of the
Muslim Brotherhood to go through and put together your security for your
town?
8. Do you have any friends that believe the Muslim Brotherhood is largely secular and good?
9. Do you know anybody that thinks NASA’s
foremost goal should be Muslim outreach, so you can help them and NASA
can help them feel good?
10. Do you know anybody who believes that Occupy Wall Street features the best people in our country right now?
11. Is it even conceivable that anyone
you know or associate with would think that killing Osama Bin Laden was a
tough decision? With that, you have a single friend who in that case
would make sure that we have a “blame someone else” memo ready just in
case it went wrong?
12. Do you have anybody in your circle of
friends or your circle of influence that believes America and Israel is
the biggest obstacle to peace and stability in the world. Do you know
anyone who believes the United States constitution needs to be a photo
negative to be right with the world today?
13. Would you or anyone you know take a
gift given to the United States after 9/11, a bust of Winston Churchill,
and try to give it back to the prime minister on your first meeting?
And when he says, “No, no, that’s a gift, you can keep it,” would you or
anyone in your circle of influence then take that bust, box it up, ship
it back yourself and say “We don’t need it anymore”?
14. Do you know anyone, a single person,
who has a wife or a husband that has never been proud of the United
States of America until something good happened in their life?
15. Do you know anybody who would
actively defend allowing a baby to die without treatment in a hospital
if an abortion failed? That the baby would be born outside, the doctors
would have it, and they would be allowed to put it in a closet and just
let it die?
16. Would someone in your life withhold
needed money from poor countries or suggest that needed money from poor
countries was withheld unless they change the Constitution to be
pro-abortion?
17. Do you know anybody who believes the
only way out of debt is to spend $5 trillion in three and a half years?
Or believes Solyndra and other green businesses were a good bet, and
that the people’s hard earned money is something you should gamble with
and you think that it should continue?
18. How many people do you know
personally that would give a shout‑out to someone to say, “Hey, I just
want to say hi to Bob over there and thank Bob – It’s been a great day,
Bob,” before you had to announce to the country that 13 soldiers were
murdered by an Islamic extremist on our own soil?
19. Do you know anybody who claims to be a
huge Israeli supporter? Do you know anybody who says, “I’m the biggest
fan of Israel, they’re our biggest and strongest ally, and I’m a huge
supporter. I’m the best thing that has happened.” And that when the
prime minister of that country flew from the other side of the globe to
have a scheduled dinner with you, you would humiliate him and blow off
for dinner? Let him eat alone while you had a quiet dinner someplace
else with friends? Do you know anybody who says, “I am the biggest
supporter of Israel,” and then visited all of the Muslim countries
around Israel but couldn’t find the time to go to Israel? And that as
Israel’s biggest, most loyal supporter, believes they should go back to
the indefensible ’67 borders? I understand it if you’re not a fan of
Israel, but if you’re a fan of Israel, do you know a soul that is a true
fan of Israel that says, “Yes, go back to the ’67 borders”?
20. Do you know any committed capitalist who believes in redistribution of wealth?
Here’s Glenn’s point, America essentially hired Barack Obama to be
the representative of our country, to stand up for us, and believes in
America, but he has absolutely nothing in common with most Americans.
“My guess is you don’t know anybody who has any of these, let alone
three. Five? Seven out of ten? All of these are firmly held beliefs by
Barack Obama and those he has put directly around him, in his cabinet,
in his advisors. And we haven’t even begun to scratch the surface,”
Glenn said. “
Friday we took our youth to the temple where we both performed saving ordinances. It was a wonderful experience. I saw a few people from my home town. Because our temple is in the process of a major renovation, we attend the Twin Falls Temple. It makes for a full day, but sacrifice brings forth the blessings of heaven, right? Plus it was wonderful to be in good company with the Haws & Christensens.
