Continuing a look at the 9-12 Project<\/a>, pet cause of Glenn Beck<\/a>. I looked at the 9 Principles<\/a> in the previous post.<\/p>\n

According to the page header, the “9-12 Project”<\/p>\n

\n

is designed to bring us all back to the place we were in on September 12, 2001. The day after America was attacked we were not obsessed with Red States, Blue States, or political parties We were united as Americans, standing together to protect the values and principles of the greatest nation ever conceived.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Which is all very nice, but then seems to be drowned out in (mostly) small-government, social conservative, nativist, torture-the-terrorists, Obama-is-socialist rhetoric. (To be fair, that rhetoric is less from the site itself, which is relatively thin on content thus far, vs. in the comments on the site.)<\/p>\n

My main question is whether the “9-12” stems from the date Beck invokes, or from the 9 Principles + 12 Values described. The former, I suspect, with the principle \/ value count being tailored to fit.<\/p>\n

The twelve values<\/a> are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Honesty<\/li>\n
  2. Reverence<\/li>\n
  3. Hope<\/li>\n
  4. Thrift<\/li>\n
  5. Humility<\/li>\n
  6. Charity<\/li>\n
  7. Sincerity<\/li>\n
  8. Moderation<\/li>\n
  9. Hard Work<\/li>\n
  10. Courage<\/li>\n
  11. Personal Responsibility<\/li>\n
  12. Gratitude<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Wow. It’s hard to argue too much with those, but, as with all things, the devil in the details — how they are applied, by whom, to what, for what end, in what way. <\/p>\n

    So far the 12 Values haven’t gotten much play in the discussions at the site. Perhaps we’ll see a bit more in the future about how Beck and his “We Surround Them” movement apply them to the problems we face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
