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...
