Beck's Poker Game

We probably have all watched Glenn Beck on Fox News at one time or another. Most of the times I watch his show I come away concerned about a lot of things but just feel that I've gotten an overdose of information I just cannot digest. But last night he made things really simple.

He likened what is going on in the world today to a high stakes poker game. The participants are Soros, the Hungarian-born capitalist working with radicals to feather his nest;  Russia, ever so determined to be a major player in the world, making alliances with all kinds of communist regimes and with Iran; China, a very cautious player, with enormous wealth in gold;  And finally Islam with its faith in Allah as they see him.

Glenn points out that America is not seated at the table because it's just one of the cards being played (don't you get the feeling that we are being played with by our current government?).

This is not a friendly game of poker; it's a game of winner take all. Glenn posits that the winner will be Islam because it is always the player with faith who wins out.

Seemingly, if this is true, we are in a desperate position and can do little or nothing.  But Glenn, the supreme optimist, and rightly so, reminds us that our feeble former British colonies, pitched against the world's greatest power, England, won the day through the individual actions of farmers with pitchforks and rifles hidden behind trees.

Are we faced today with having to do it all over again?  We need to ready ourselves. We need to arm ourselves with courage. We need to trust in God that he will not abandon us.


In connection with how we best accomplish the task of saving America, we need a battle plan.   When one browses the internet among various conservative sites we discover many such plans; so many in fact that it's easy to get confused.  What comes to my mind is the single word advice from a friend in politics some time ago:  KISS.  Translated, Keep It Simple Stupid.


Simplicity, such as that suggested by Glenn helps to keep us on a straight, and hopefully, proven plan.  Monday, I found the title of an article on the site REDSTATE intriguing: "Conservatives-stand-to-lose-big-in-2012"  Click on the following link to see why the author says this and what he recommends we do; this is for starters:
