On July 4th, 1776 the world witnessed the greatest experimentation of freedom and liberty. We as a nation took up arms and shrugged off the chains of despotism and wrapped the nation in the protective cloak of a representational republic. Our great nation was created and founded on the belief that the freedom and liberty of the individual reigns supreme. With this belief and the power of the constitution we have succeeded when we should have failed.
We have overcome both foreign and domestic challenges and become stronger and more united. There have been sacrifices made by every generation. We look towards our citizens to improve the fabric of our society. This nation has also turned to our youth to defend our society from our enemies that have attacked our way of life. For this we are entirely indebted to the brave veterans of the past, present, and future that sacrificed so that we as a nation can continue.
On July 4th, we celebrate our independence and the founding of this great nation. We honor what previous generations have given up so that the next generation may benefit. It is because of this that we must recognize that the struggle against tyranny, oppression, and persecution is not over. The cost of our freedoms is constant vigilance and to stand athwart paternalism. Let's remember the beginning of our constitution that "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

In what has increasingly become an era defined by pandemonium, rancor, and blind ignorance, one stabilizing voice emerged from the din this year to soothe the souls of Americans everywhere, make us recognize the common decency that binds us all, and supplant the poisonous aura of fear and chaos with a simple, well-thought-out message of peace, prosperity, and reconciliation.
That man is television and syndicated radio host Glenn Beck.
Every single day of 2010, Beck's quiet words of humility and reason have touched the hearts of all Americans, healing countless wounds and elevating the level of our national discourse. Indeed, just as Martin Luther King, Jr. (to whom Beck has so aptly and correctly compared himself) once showed the nation the way forward to compassion and civility, so have Beck's stunningly eloquent broadcasts, inspiring political rallies, and bestselling books reassured every living citizen that we are all joined by the same ever-beating heart of kindness, and that gentler roads lie ahead if we could all just settle down, lower our voices, and focus on solving the actual, meaningful problems of our world together.
For in these troubled times of rising unemployment, political infighting, anger, and persecution, America needs a man who can put the issues in perspective and bring us comfort; a man who cares not about race, creed, sexual orientation, or party affiliation; a man who sees beyond petty political maneuverings, emotional exploitation, greed, and opportunism; a man who encourages all of us to disregard the ceaseless clamor of ideologues and think for ourselves; a man who sees beyond his own ego and cares only for what is good and right and just. In short, it needs a man like Glenn Lee Beck.
Thank God for Glenn Beck and all he has done. After all, what would our country be like if not for him?

SO here is a video I did for a Winter Variety show at Cuesta College that was put on by the drama club. I am preforming "Where the Wild Roses Grow" by Nick Cave and my duet partner is Alyssa Ramazotti.
When ever you are feeling blue and down this will pick you right up:
To quote John Waters "We all have our limits, I remember the first time Divine saw Richard Simmons she felt homophobic"

Gah, don't you hate it when you can vividly picture a sctor in your mind but not his name or what movies he was in?
Person I am thinking of has brown hair that is usually in a bowl cut style and is parted evenly on his face. He has a larger nose and is in average shape (little bit large for hollywood standards but not fat). He usually plays mentally deranged villains and has the appearance that he would be some one who would live with his mother into his 40's. He isn't a huge star but he does get good roles. If any one knows who this is please tell me so that I can stop going insane.
