Have you read the NYTimes article in the Business Section - Media & Advertising By BRIAN STELTER and BILL CARTER which was published March 29, 2009?

Faux News' Glenn Beck wants to know:
On March 12 Mr. Beck introduced the 9/12 Project, an initiative to reclaim the values and principles that he said were evident the day after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. On a special broadcast he asked: "What ever happened to the country that loved the underdog and stood up for the little guy?"
Someone give me a clue on this one. When did the Republicans (read right wing conservative) party EVER stand up for the little guy?
Over the past decade the little guys were working hard and increasing productivity while their wages remained almost stagnant and expenses went up. At the same time the "ruling class" was reaping greater and greater returns for their "work". In fact, any gains the middle class was able to earn have now been taken away by those same folks who noone could call "the little guy".
While these Faux Fools are crying Socialism, it’s the Democrats who are working for everyone, especially the "little" guys with such "radical" ideas as:
Affordable Healthcare for all
Great Public Education
Unions and Workers’ Rights
Protection of the Environment
Energy Independence
But it amazes me that so many work against their own better interests and follow the Conservative Repugnicans down the rat hole.
I’m all for your "9/12 Project", Mr. Beck. I too want to reclaim those values and principles, like:
The United States doesn’t torture
We value our Constitution and the protection it affords to EVERYONE
We don’t wiretap our citizens
We honor the enduring legacy of Magna Carta which is the right of habeas corpus
We honor and follow the Geneva Conventions no only because it protects others but because it also protects our citizens
Where do we go to get our good name back, Mr. Beck? Maybe the Apocalypse has already occurred?
We surround you.
