Quotes from Glenn Beck

Critics of home-schooling hate the idea of home-schooling and the freedom from the government school monopoly that it represents. Their attacks on academic success are just a transparent attempt to divert attention from their own failings.

And so this government of the United States was brilliantly designed to keep that weakness of human nature in check, but it required the people to participate daily, to be vigilant, and they have not. It demanded that they behave as though their government was their servant, but they have not. In their silence the people of the United States have spoken. While they slept the servant has become their master.

We have not—contrary to the claims of so many elitist environmentalists—experienced substantially more wildfires in recent years. According to the National Interagency Coordination Center, which is responsible for tracking wildfires in the United States, there were more wildfires during the 2005–2009 period (406,614) than there were from 2010 to 2014 (324,762). And there were more wildfires from 2010 to 2014 than from 2015 to 2019 (315,953).

Don't take my word for it! I challenge you to do your own homework.

But in a crony system, banks and government institutions grant loans to students they know are unlikely to ever pay back the loans. Schools charge increasingly higher rates because they know government will give students virtually unlimited student loan debt. This is the model America's political class has been building for decades.

Partisan politicians] seek to incite political support or raise money by pitting us against each other on issues . . . because they know that by igniting heated arguments, the issues are less likely to be solved and their careers are more likely to be secure. Every time you vote "against" someone rather than "for" someone the two-party system wins and America loses.

Control the language and you control the argument.

Local control worked well enough to make America's education system the envy of the world at one time. We started losing that advantage when local school districts started losing their autonomy. As Greene puts it, "The policies, practices, and funding of schools has increasingly shifted to the state and national governments and greater uniformity has been imposed by unionization. The enemy of high standards and improving outcomes is centralization.

When men ruled over men, time was wasted and misspent.

You don't have to move past it, but you do have to move through it.

A.D.D. MOMENT My favorite line is "For your convenience, an 18 percent gratuity has been added to your check." My convenience? Is that really convenient for me? That's about as insincere as "Your call is very important to us.

Evil is evil, and no good comes of calling it by any other name.

At the Battle of the Somme in France, more than sixty thousand British soldiers died on the battle's first day alone.476

You want to give nearly endless power over health care to the very same government socialists say is constantly engaging in crony deals with large corporations and special interests. The same government many socialists claim is "racist" and "sexist." If you don't trust the way the system works now, why would you want to give those in power even more power?

The infighting and the purposeful division promoted by our political parties is a simple ploy to keep us from uniting.

Joy is a fragile, fleeting thing. Sorrow is stronger and lasts longer. It can weigh you down, paralyze you.

Outrage is also an exceptional weapon that can pierce the armor of nearly any foe. It's like a bow with three magically tipped arrows: shame, guilt, and fear.

America has let thieves into her home and that nagging in your gut is a final warning that our country is about to be stolen. Our Founding Fathers understood that our rights and liberties are gifts from God. They also understood that WE are an intuitive people. If all that is true, then it only makes sense that He would alert us to our impending loss. And now He is---shame on us for ignoring Him for so long.

In the Westerville, Ohio, school district, for example, a union contract provision stipulated that a coin flip would be used to determine seniority if two teachers were hired on the same day. One might be a great teacher, the other awful; it makes no difference. That is how much importance unions place on teacher quality.

It is in no citizen's best interest to follow politicians who use panic, confusion, and hastily crafted legislation to enact emergency powers that they themselves barely understand. Panic will not lead this ship to a safer port, only farther out to sea, into far deeper and more dangerous waters.

The typical mentality among the leadership of "less work for more money" is far too prevalent. Outstanding efforts by individual employees are frowned upon, because they give "management" a reason to expect better results without an increase in compensation.

The reason to have history is to be able to say, 'This is where you came from. This is what it cost. This is what happened to us. This is what we fought against. This is what we did when we won. This is who we are.

Union leaders essentially want the public to believe that all teachers are equal and deserve to be paid and treated that way—but that's clearly not the case. Some teachers are much more effective than others in helping kids learn, yet school policies and pay scales do little to recognize or reward their efforts.

God has accepted your repentance. He gives his forgiveness freely.
