Glenn Beck has lost his Principles (literally)...
With the 9-12 march on D.C. imminent, I thought I would remind myself of the 9 Principles and 12 Values of Glenn Beck's ridiculous 9-12 Project. I was surprised when I couldn't find them on his website. Even though the banner continues to promote the "9 Principles and 12 Values", the page displaying what those actually are is gone. See for yourself:

http://www.the912project.com/the-912-2/

But they can still be found on Glenn Beck's own website. I'm having trouble posting the direct link, but you can find it if you search "9 principles 12 values" on Google (it's the first result).

I could find some meta-data repeating the Values on the 9-12 website, but the Principles are completely gone. I have a few theories to explain this...

1) I just overlooked them despite searching for them pretty thoroughly. This doesn't seem too likely, as you would imagine that the foundational gimmick of your website would be easy to find.

2) The Principles were offensive to some of Beck's target demographic. This is my guess, as the 2nd, "I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life," is anathema to some of the libertarians that Beck is trying to attract are very strong Atheists. Rather than change the "founding principles", he just decided to delete them...

Just like everything else to do with this bullshit protest marketing scheme.

2. beck does not believe in God and money is the center of his life
He is not a christian, he is an incredible embarrassment to his family and his only goal is to ensure his base audience remains stupid and the way he does that is to have them listen to him. He is a buffoon who has never done anything for America and who thinks that since he makes a lot of money somehow that makes him a success. He is a pathetic human being, who, and let me repeat myself, has never done anything FOR our country.
