Speaking of Glenn Beck (who I'd not heard of before today), he sounds more and more like a dork. I refer you to his 912 Project, 9 Principles and 12 Values he says all Americans should live by.

Edit: Many of these are perfectly laudable principles, though some of them contradict each other, and coming from Glenn Beck many of the rest are horribly hypocritical.

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.

Don't #5 and #4 sort of conflict with each other? And I'm not sure the agnostic/Deist founding fathers would agree with #2 at all.
