Read Beck‘s ’Declaration of Rights & Responsibilities’ From Restoring Courage Speech

In his speech at the Restoring Courage eveng in Israel on Wednesday, Glenn Beck announced a new movement to champion human rights for those — such as Israel — who have seen them trampled on. He mentioned a declaration of rights and responsibilities. Below you will find that declaration:

Declaration of Rights & Responsibilities

As the American Declaration of Independence clearly states…when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for people to band together and collectively declare their rights and responsibilities to which the laws of nature and nature’s God entitle and bind them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should disclose the causes which impel them to such.

Therefore let us declare that we still hold these truths to be self-evident…that all men are created equal and are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  But with those rights come responsibilities.

In order to continually experience life, liberty and happiness as promised, nature’s God demands obedience to His law to protect those rights.  This is where we have fallen short and therefore, in order not to lose the blessings of freedom, the people of the world must turn from the sole focus on rights, and recognize the inherent and required responsibilities that we have.

Among the responsibilities to which we must adhere to maintain our God given rights are honor, courage and vigilance.
Over time, we believe that these basic human responsibilities have been trampled, and replaced with degradation, fear and apathy.

But when a long train of abuses of the people and conscience by the media and by other segments of society, pursuing the same path of reducing them to ridicule, scorn and even sub-human status, it is their right, it is their DUTY, to peacefully, but vehemently take a stand.

Men want to be kings…and the more we concentrate on our rights and the more we are told not to worry about our responsibilities, the more we lose our rights.

Just as physics show…for every action…there’s an equal and opposite reaction.  The time has come to declare that at least for the western world…human rights are generally accepted and moving in the right direction…however a new movement is required…a movement of human responsibility.

The media, politicians and large institutions…both academic and political…have been lying to us, and we must demand the truth be told.  With that demand, comes the responsibility that we tell the truth first, in ourselves.  Too many of us delegate our responsibility to the media…and too many believe there is no personal responsibility at all.

Political correctness has polluted our language and clouds our every discussion.

What was once accepted as good and right, is now considered bad and evil, and that which was bad and evil is now presented to the world as good and decent.

Opposing thoughts or opinions are referred to as crazy, insane, non-factual and utterly without merit.  Furthermore, we are told, they should not even be heard.

Now, the time has come to take a stand…by exhibiting the traits…honor, courage and vigilance.

What is honor?  It is being honest in all of our dealings.  It is showing loyalty and fairness, and being a beacon of integrity in all our beliefs and actions.  It is showing respect for others.

Ruth honored Naomi when she told her that she would not leave her.  That she would go wherever Naomi went, that she would live where Naomi lived and die where Naomi died.  Her God would be Naomi’s God.

Courage is the ability to face danger, criticism or scorn…not without fear, but while overcoming fear to deal with that which comes our way.  When no one else in the Kingdom wanted to face the mighty giant, Goliath, young David was willing.  David must have felt fear at the sight of his foe, but overcame it, and courageously vanquished his enemy.

Vigilance is being watchful for all forms of treachery and tyranny, lies and deceit.  The person in the watchtower, waiting all night, suddenly sounding the alarm that the enemy is coming…the careful observer of the markets and economies who proclaims to the world, all is not well, there is trouble ahead…and the outspoken critic of the powerful, going against societies’ grain, warning that all is not as we’re being told…these are the vigilant.

We implore all people to stand with these characteristics…honor, courage and vigilance.

To that end, we must restore honor in our own lives.  Seek after the truth.  Declare right now, that no longer will we simply accept what is told us by the media or anyone else.

The media has the responsibility to tell the truth…we have the responsibility to learn it.
Stand with courage…even if it means the end of our jobs, the end of our positions in life…or even the end of our very lives.

We must have the courage to be peaceful, while recognizing the courage to defend and respond to threats and/or attacks when necessary. Turn the other cheek when possible.

We must be vigilant.  We must think the unthinkable…the holocaust occurred because no one could imagine it…but evil never sleeps…and neither must we.
As Edmund Burke said, “all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”  We must DO something.  Stand watch.  Speak up.  Become involved.
Thus, we the people do hereby declare not only our rights, but do now establish this bill of responsibilities.

1. Because I have the right to choose, I recognize that I am accountable to God…and have the responsibility to keep the 10 commandments in my own life.

2. Because I have the right to worship as I choose, I have the responsibility to honor the right of others to worship as they see fit.

3. Because I have freedom of speech, I have the responsibility to defend the speech of others, even if I strongly disagree with what they’re saying.

4. Because I have the right to pursue happiness, I have the responsibility to show humility and express gratitude for all the blessings I enjoy and the rights I’ve been given.

5. Because I have the right to honest and good government…I will seek out honest and just representatives when possible.   If I cannot find one then I accept the responsibility to take that place.

6. Because I have the God given right to liberty…
I have the personal responsibility to have the courage to defend others to be secure in their persons, lives and property.

7. Because I have the right to equal justice…I will stand for those who are wrongly accused or unjustly blamed.

8. Because I have the right to knowledge…I will be accountable for myself and my children’s education…to live our lives in such a way that insures the continuation of truth.

9. Because I have the right to pursue my dreams and keep the fruits of my labor…I have the responsibility to feed, protect and shelter my family, the less fortunate, the fatherless, the old and infirm.

10. Because I have a right to the truth…I will not bear false witness nor will not stand idly by as others do.

Unconditionally, while maintaining my responsibility to compassionately yet fiercely stand against those things that decay the natural rights of all men.

And for the support of this declaration, and with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence we mutually pledge to each other our lives, fortunes and sacred honor.

      God willing, by next summer, if enough people world wide pledge to these truths, HOPEFULLY THE WORLD WILL BE READY FOR A RESTORING TRUTH RALLY! Disbanding the UN would be a good start, but the pre-op would be at the ballot box in the US to elect candidates who pledge to pull the US out of the UN and then kick the UN out of the US. Let’s replace it with honesty in nations dealing with each other 1 on 1.
      Hopefully that too, would become a Global Movement!

      there is new reality now- and that is….we do not need a world nanny….we can take care of ourselves!!! butt out.!!!

      remove the UN from our shores and all the reg’s with it. Including Heritage protected sites, and ICLEI.

      “2. Because I have the right to worship as I choose, I have the responsibility to honor the right of others to worship as they see fit.”

      I guess Beck is going to defend the Islamic Center near ground zero.

      “10. Because I have a right to the truth…I will not bear false witness nor will not stand idly by as others do.”

      Will he issue a public correction to all the statements that Politifacts and other groups have rated false or out right lies.

      “9. Because I have the right to pursue my dreams and keep the fruits of my labor…I have the responsibility to feed, protect and shelter my family, the less fortunate, the fatherless, the old and infirm.”

      Is Becky coming out to support healthcare for all, the Great Society and the New Deal.

      “1. Because I have the right to choose, I recognize that I am accountable to God…and have the responsibility to keep the 10 commandments in my own life.”

      What about the rest of God’s laws or do they no longer matter and you now support Gay Marriage?

      Ok so you perfer exploding underpants. Grow up.
      “2) Thou shalt buy gold with haste.”
      Then please don’t buy gold. Just after I got my undergrad I could buy a good sized basket of groceries for about $20 or 40 silver half dollars. Now those groceries would be worth at least $120 in greenbacks. And those 40 silver halves are worth about $700 or $800. I’ve bought soverigns for as little as $75. And I also bought stocks with the dow under 800. And had twits make fun of me. Sorry if I ignore your financial advice.
      “3) Thou shalt buy dried food for family presents.”
      Then don’t buy dried foods. But, having survived many hurricanes, and studied the Weimar, and several hyper inflations. (Before Glenn) Please don‘t knock on my door if you’re out of luck.
      “4) Thou shalt be too crazy, even for Faux Noise.”
      Brilliant
      “5) Thou shalt use Nazi imagery at any opportunity.”
      See # 6. You do a good job of that yourself.
      “6) Thou shalt propose peace, but use violent imagery and rhetoric”
      See 5 above.
      “7) Thou shalt wear the emperors new clothes.”
      Yes. We do see your rear end.
      “8) Thou shalt use Vics chest rub whenst thous needst to cry.”

It doesn’t matter what religion you follow, the message is the same ‘Love on another’, chose life or chose death.

      So were you standing against Bush’s invasion of Iraq, then? Was Glenn?

      To JHC Where are you on Obama’s refusal to leave Iraq?

      And for the record, i supported the invasion of Iraq because I along with nearly EVERY government in the world believed they had WMD‘s and they claimed loudly and repeatedly that they did have WMD’s and Saddam Hussein used said WMD’s on his own Kurdish people! next question?

      MSH – You know what? That’s a really good point you make. I’m completely against the continued occupation of Iraq, but it’s a little different when you have to take it over rather than starting it.

      Lets be be brutally honest, not every government thought Saddam had WMD’s, it was only the doctored/dishonest/faulty intelligence of US/GB that permitted this war. Even then, the people of England knew we were being lied to and protested it all the way, we knew we were pawns in the neocon game, but were powerless to stop it. America wrapped itself ignorantly in the flag.

      I’m no fan of Obama. because I think he’s governed like a conservative and is now being held accountable for the policies, but he’s actually given the right most of what they wanted.

      Or, as an oompa loompa might say – “98%”

      Libby/Progressives and their bad premise….Should I have stood against Bush?? Have there been any more terrorist attacks on USA soil?? Was a tyrant and tyrannical government taken down?? So, what “evil” did I need to stand against Bush?? I guess JHC had some insider information about the “doctored/dishonest/faulty intelligence of US/GB “ that other countries intelligence didn’t have but could only speak of them after the USA went into Iraq….Kind of like the invisible boy who could only be invisible when no one was looking….. JHC, did you stand against Pres. O bombing Libya?? I didn’t….But, I guess he along with John Kerry and all other Libby/Progressives where caving to the conservatives…

      Don’t forget, in the Oil to food program Saddam was supposed to sell oil to feed his starving people and buy medicine for the children of Iraq, but he sold the food and meds to buy weapons and build palaces for himself! Doesn’t everyone consider that Evil?

      The invasion of Iraq, evil?? Wow. So you think overthrowing a mass-murdering dictators is evil? Does this mean you stand by tyrants?
      Oh. Sorry, I forgot. You’re a leftist; of course you do.

    I just now finished watching Restoring Courage – live from Israel on GBTV. My viewing place was at home with two of us present – God and myself. We were both very pleased. Again, I want to say that I not only stand with Israel, but I stand for what is good, what is right and what is true. Thank you Glenn.
