It’s the old “curse of knowledge” dilemma isn’t it? It’s easy to assume visitors know how to comment or even that commenting is encouraged. Excellent post.

Actually, Ed, you may be more “on board” than you thought at first. If you listen closely to Beck, he says that those who broke the law will pay a price and that those who have caused harm or brought shame to their families will pay a price for that as well, BUT that he believes the American people would support them in their efforts to right their wrongs for the betterment of our Country. Take for example, if someone came forth and said, “I’m a tax cheat, but I’ve seen this and heard this and think you should know it,” then justice, according to the law, would be served, but Glenn’s suspicion is that the rest of us will rally around that person and give them support. It’s almost the same principle as his “you are not alone, we surround them” theory. I can see why you would have come to that conclusion, but I don’t think that is what his intent was. I think he specifically used the lines, “I’m here to tell you, you will pay the price, there will be consequences,” and THEN went on to say, “but the American people will support you.” I also think that our support doesn’t have to necessarily mean that we will vote for, give donations to, rally to keep out of the justice system, etc. But instead, will thank and back up, and make sure that justice is served, but no more, that there are no reparations, other than what each person has legally coming to him.

I’m not on board with this, at all. It sounds noble and honorable, but it serves as a way to let criminals stay in power. They ALL need to go. The ones you think are “good” will have another chance, but for now, they ALL need to go.

Funny!
And, ironically, I think a lot of people would buy it! The genius of the constitutional republic which the treasonous ultra-liberal revolutionaries that we call our “founding fathers” set up, is that, as long as the public remains well informed our elected representatives act in their own self interest (maintaining power) when they act in the interest of their constituents, US! Self reporting of misdeeds does nothing to increase transparency in Government. The notion that we – the public – would need these “courageous individuals” to come forward, just reinforces the idea that we should or could not know what is going on, unless they decide to tell us. Asking the “courageous 56″ to come forward would allow some small group of congress members to champion the “government is broken” cause, and still run as incumbents – and their supporters would buy this ruse. If you want responsive government, fight for government transparency, a strong and vital news media, and a public that is engaged.

We love Michele Bachmann here too. She’s not afraid to tell it like it is and stands up for what she believes in.

I nominate Michelle Bachmann (R) Minnesota. One of the most staunch conservatives in the House today!

I recommend Congeresman Steve King of Iowa as 1 of 56.
