Glenn, you have perhaps no bigger fan of your philosophy, nor a more eager consumer of your many books, broadcasts and events, than me. One of the more memorable events in my life was attending your Restoring Honor rally in Washington, D.C., and sharing breakfast with you, several hundred supporters and Gov. Sarah Palin, in support of the Special Operations Warrior Fund. Never will I forget hearing you announce, "Ladies and gentleman, security just notified me that we should all go soon, because the crowd is already filled beyond the reflecting pool." Thank you for the greatness of your vision and the amazing courage of your convictions.
The emotional turmoil and political strife swirling throughout our beloved country only grows in intensity by the day. The significance of 2012's monumental election is creating an ever growing wedge between my political reasoning and yours. Our political divergence is something I - and my instincts tell me - millions of your God fearing, patriotic devotees are struggling with as well. Given this assumption, my personal request is simply this: Seek first to understand. Disagree with vigor, but please respect the intelligence, reasoning and conclusions of millions that disagree with you, without caustic sarcasm, demeaning ridicule or elitist derision. The spirit you exemplified on stage during your Restoring Honor rally is not being modeled in the heat of this debate.
