The 912 Project: Guns, God and Anti-Government from Glenn Beck

The hottest new host on Fox News this year Glenn Beck has launched The 912 Project, a site dedicated to sharing core principles and values that Americans are said to live by.
The site, which is currently offline as we write this post, defines essential American qualities such as believing in god, being opposed to income tax, being pro marriage (as long as your straight) and many other gems.
It’s more of the same that we’ve seen from the hard right recently, this whole socialism is bad, our money is being stolen for us, Barack is a Communist etc etc. While some of those points might be true, what they continue to overlook is that Bush created the mess the country is in today, and Bush was the one that run up the foreign debt and started the bailouts. But no, it’s only bad now a new, black guy takes over the mess.
In the show launching the The 912 Project, Beck interviewed Chuck Norris, who earlier this week said that thousands of militia were preparing for a military takeover of the United States. If that doesn’t say batshit crazy, I’m not sure what else can.
Here’s the list the 912 Project are based on
The 12 Values:
* Honesty
* Reverence
* Hope
* Thrift
* Humility
* Charity
* Sincerity
* Moderation
* Hard Work
* Courage
* Personal Responsibility
* Gratitude
The Nine Principles
* 1. America is good.
* 2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.
* 3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.
* 4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
* 5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.
* 6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.
* 7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.
* 8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.
* 9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

Why you libs keep justifying BO's actions by saying Bush did the same thing?!?!? I thought Bush was the biggest idiot in the world??? Why is BO copying him???
Mar 13, 2009
It's because it is easy to be in opposition … even when you are in power! To lead you need a plan, but to oppose you only need somebody to blame (Bush!). Sad, really, but hey … it takes all sorts. That's why our country is so great, because we allow these left loons to emit the garbage.
Mar 13, 2009
Woohoo! Finally somebody has stepped up to the plate and said it like it is.
America it's time to wake up and regain some self-control.
It's time to get some ethics, it's time to take resonsiblity, it's time to be humble
It's time to follow the golden rule:
“Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself”
Mar 13, 2009
Do you agree with any of the values or principles? You call the idea “hard right”, but I think you agree with most if not all of the values and principles.
Mar 13, 2009
You miss the point, the solutions and the power base of this great nation resides in its people, not in the federal government. That you take the concepts as strictly right wing is sad, and as you implied that socialism is a good thing, maybe you could tell me when has socialism ever worked? Margaret Thatcher said “that the problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of rich people to tax.”

Don't fight the inevitable. The movement is coming. UNITE OR DIE
Mar 13, 2009
I see nothing wrong with the 912 project and the values and principles it focuses on. This has nothing to do with Republican, Democrats, Liberals, or Conservatives. This is about the American people wanting their country back!
Mar 13, 2009
I dare to ask which principle or value you dont believe in. And for you to say hard right, I believe in these principles and values, so being of sound mind and body, you describe me as hard right. I am always amazed at the journalist that attack something that is good, but will not stand up to what is bad, such as a president that send thugs to attack a private citizen, or a Congress that spends more money in 2 months than at any time in our history, or a administration that has no problem confirming a tax cheat, or a Secretary of State that has no clue about history or the time to correctly identify the language that is correct for a gift, or a White House that snubs our best ally, or a Speaker of the House that uses tax payers money to fly family and friends. If you or other journalist did have integrity the people might even have a voice in this great Country. To the best of my recolection, Glenn Beck finally ask the people what they want, he did not say, do this, he did not say, follow this, he gave the people a choice and the people responded. There are many people who are sick and tired of not having their voice in this great Country- so now they are fighting back. the past elelction had only 110 million voters, we have a population of 300 million, so do you ever wonder why the other 200 million have not voted, maybe because they did not have a voice the represented thire values and principles.
Mar 13, 2009
Well I have to say that as a conservative, I do like the 912 project. And as such, a proud son of Arizona, a founder of AzTeen Age Republicans, those of the 912 project are not overly fond of Bush either. We prefer to look back to Reagan, and more conservative, fiscal and personal responsibility. God bless this movement. Godspeed to all who subscribe to it.
Mar 13, 2009
you're completely wrong. listen to a moment of Glenn's show and you will hear him say that “this administration and the last administration don't seem to care or listen” so sit there and say he blames it on obama all you want but people like you prove his point even more, that people need to let go of party affiliation and get REAL with what they value! it has nothing to do with “it’s only bad now a new, black guy takes over the mess.” It's because people like you try to shut up anything that is not pro liberal, “hard” left, etc. open your eyes and ears, the MAJORITY of people are really sick of lying and hiding behind the curtain of political parties. If you listen to Glenn's show you will see how he groups the democrats and republicans into one group because he sees that they just sit there and point figures and try to win votes rather than listening to what people truly want, they just play it safe to the point of getting votes, but do whatever they want. listen before you speak, read before you write, please! I hope people are starting to learn more and more that sources such as yourself are worth nothing.
Mar 13, 2009
The 912 project has it's core as the values and principles I was raised on. And it has absolutely nothing to do with Republican, Democrats, Liberals, or Conservatives. This is about the American people wanting their country back! We have been silent for far too long.
Mar 14, 2009
I believe you are absolutely off base in suggesting that the principals and values Glen outlined in the 912 project are not America's values. This include a belief in God. The fathers of our nation didn't specify which religion one should subscribe to but the Declaration of Independence makes it abundantly clear that we are given inalienable rights from God.
I would also suggest that there are a large number of registered Democrats in this country who are not supporters of Socialism in any form. (Ever hear of Reagan democrats?) Liberal views on social issues do not equate to liberal views on fiscal policy.
Mar 14, 2009
Well Mr. Riley it seems that there is virtual unanimity against the message of your article. Perhaps you should reevaluate your position, perhaps read more about the 9 principles and 12 values that our country was founded upon. I suggest you learn more about those founders. Soon.
Mar 14, 2009
More of the same crap from political idiots. You missed the entire point of Beck's show and his website.
Mar 14, 2009
Wow, you must be a complete idiot to watch Glen Becks' show and get a crappy and off-base Title like “The 912 Project: Guns, God and Anti-Government from Glenn Beck”
You can't be trusted with information if you can't report fairly on a great episode of Glen Beck, and it was the first episode i've seen, i was moved, and am eager to join the 912Project, and I am not a “gun-lover” or a “gay-hater” and the fact that you read that into the show, only reveal you to be some kind of biased piece of crap who shouldn't get a chance to write a lame joke on the inside of a bubble gum wrapper.
I only call you a biased piece of crap, because i refrain from going as far as you did indecently calling Chuck Norris “batshit crazy”
Mar 14, 2009
I totally agree with Boom – you must not have even watched the program!
Mar 14, 2009
Beck is a psycho. It'e interesting how this has nothing to do with being Liberal, Conservative, Independant, white, black, yellow, whatever… but all of a sudden Beck is concrened about our country, like the Bush years were great. Where the hell has he been for the past 8 years? Why now?
Mar 14, 2009
Praise the Lord for Glenn Beck!

If you listened to the program, you would know he did not agree with Bush on alot of things.
Mar 14, 2009
LOL OBAMA IS THE SAME OLD CRAP
Same old garbage and lies, personal agendas, part agendas and putting him self first
Glenn Beck KICK ASS AND THE LIBS CANT STAND IT, MILLIONS WATCHED.
Obama is a lying crook who used YOU and the left media to get him into office, HE stand outside the door and smiles at you claiming he's going to all this good and no agendas and were going to rebuild america BULLSHIT. hes a liying crook
Mar 14, 2009
Thi is bullcrap
“Chuck Norris, who earlier this week said that thousands of militia were preparing for a military takeover of the United States”
PLEASE SHOW ME WHERE AND WHEN HE SAID THAT, BECAUSE IC ANT FIND IT ANYWHERE? Or are you just pullign another ney york times twisting what a man say's to fit YOUR personal agenda?
I mean that's what obama has done everyday since he's been locked in the white house, filling party agendas and personal agendas of his own, acting with himself and his party in mind and not 51 million other americans
Is america going to wake up soon? are we slowing waking up to see what kind of people democrats really are? Wait till his health care propganda comes out LOL were in for some good times, a rise of the republicans (again) and the falling of democrats (again)
Mar 14, 2009
You've missed the point. When Bush was president, liberals were disenfranchised, and they used the media very effectively to distribute their criticism. Much of the criticism of Bush was very personal rather than policy related and the issues got overlooked. Now, with a dem in power, the other side is disenfranchised and has started using the media to express their own displeasure. I agree with the values and principles. There's a great book called “Atlas Shrugged” which should be mandatory reading for all thinking adults. The author's bio is interesting too. Check it out.

You leftists are on a SMEAR campaign. PITY! The image you posted above isn't Glen Beck's, you made it up to make his purpose look bad.
The further you are from the Bible, the further you are from the TRUTH.
Don't worry, you'll be hearing from all of us, because … WE SURROUND YOU.
Mar 14, 2009
Glenn Beck has always been critical of Bush policy. He is always reminding people Bush laid the ground work. He opened all the doors. He started the bailout. Pick your enemies wisely. He has tried to get people to look for who is behind the curtain. Our Enemy is the lack of principal, values and education of the constitution.
Mar 14, 2009
Paul, clearly you opened your mouth before thinking here. Glenn for years now has stated on both of his shows (radio &TV) that he is not a republican or a democrat. He simply wants our country to do what is right. MANY times he has chewed out senators from both sides! Maybe you should give him a try before you make your decisions. Maybe then we would have someone in the White House who is fixing things instead of doubling what Bush did in less than 3 months!
Mar 14, 2009
Hey Paul – Where have YOU been for the last 8 years? What were you doing to help our country out of the mess it's in? It's always easy to find a scapegoat to blame for everything. It's time we all took personal responsibility for the condition of our lives and our nation.
Mar 14, 2009
I meant pointing fingers not figures.
As far as your comments about how crazy it is for Chuck to be saying that people creating a militia is crazy, you need to open your eyes! I don't think Chuck was that off, we have a lot of pissed off people who feel powerless, they will resort to drastic measures, don't be surprised when crazy things start happening. Frustrated people armed with weapons who see no other way of getting a message across will do whatever they think they can to right a wrong.
Mar 14, 2009
amen
Mar 14, 2009
Well said Margret..I'm out here in Big Island Hawaii and hope part of the features to the 912 project is getting like minded people together..A Zip code search so that we can gather to discuss our future with people that care.
Mar 14, 2009
Yes he is a voice in the wilderness and thank God he has been bold enough to stand for what is right!
I support him and his platform 100%. He is the man of the hour than can bring people together that have the same principals and know what this great country was founded on, Wake up American the fire is coming!
Mar 14, 2009
AMEN to your views. Right on the money. Perhaps we (the USA) will not have any money after this administration is finished unless we do speak up and take a firm stance. GB is helping the american people take this GREAT COUNTRY back.
Mar 14, 2009
Excellent observation!!!!
Mar 14, 2009
Why now? Are you seriously asking “Why now?”… Come on, Paul. Have you noticed our country is in big trouble? And have you even listened to Beck before now???
Mar 14, 2009
Our country is in big trouble if we do not stand up to what is being taken from us each and every day. I am ready to stand up and fight for our freedoms that we are slowly losing. The politicians have sold us out and don't care about anything but themselves. They all need to be fired and replaced. Term limits should be the next thing on the agenda.
God help us.

2 words: Mitt Romney.
Mar 16, 2009
You are to be commended Paul, for presenting an outstanding example of running ones mouth without engaging ones brain.
I would like to know if you paid your taxes Paul, but you would probably say no….and that could only mean that you are being considered for a high level government position.
That is why we are pisses Paul, we are tired of the BS.
Mar 19, 2009
you go girl-I am a 72 yo great-grandmother who was 4yo when the second ww started-I shudder to think what would have happened if this administration had been in power then-The left has a short memory, the demos. had control of congress the last 2 yrs. of Bushes second term term. Why didn't they fix the problems starting in 2006?
A. C.
Mar 27, 2009
Amen to Mitt Romney!!
Mar 28, 2009
Well…..no, that's absurd and utterly false! 200 million more people could NOT have voted – not because they “…did not have a voice…” as you claim, but, because the USA is NOT composed of 100%
(going to list the requirements to be able to vote, follow along, OK?):
1) citizens (whether by birth or nationalization – there are LEGAL immigrants who live in the USA)
2) who are 18 years of age and over
UNLESS
3)such people are in prison and/or other forms of legal “limbo” that disqualifies them from voting.
In other words, 100% popular voter turnout is IMPOSSIBLE – for Obama, Glenn Beck, or anyone else! It has nothing to do with “lack of a voice” for the “value-driven people”…unless you want a 5 year old or a guy in Folsom or an immigrant to vote. BTW, one measures voter turnout by comparing: ELIGIBLE VOTERS vs. VOTER TURNOUT – the # of people who COULD vote (see # 1-3 above) compared to the # of people who actually DID VOTE; not by stating the population of the country!
Mar 28, 2009
this is when we, as americans, look to eachother to weather what is ahead! the police, the firefighters, will answer their civic duties!!!!we need not be a country driven by money, but by a national need for american preservation!! we will live of the fat of our land; because dont be fooled!!!! we need no one in the global community to “survive”, they need us to consume all there goods? cut off globalism for at least 5 years, pay of our debt, and in our sacrifices, we can rebuild the american dream!!!!god bless america!!!
Mar 31, 2009
Very well said.
Mar 31, 2009
What is going on here. I did not agree with this poster. I was agreeing with Glenn Beck. We do need to take our country back and you are wrong. A lot of us stayed home because McCain and Obama will do the same thing. Not much difference between them. Our congressmen are not voting the way the people want them too.l They are ignoring us.
Mar 31, 2009
The fair tax or the flat tax not the income text. That is the way to pay for these things.
