Restoring Honor Event in DC

[Grammy]

Not sure if there is another thread already started on this topic, if so mods do the deed.

I didn't get to see it all but it was very moving, I think as Americans we need to take sometime away from our busy lives and wake up to what is going on in Washington DC.

It will be replayed again at 6PM I believe on watchglennbeck.com if you can watch it is sure worth your time.

Restoring honor to DC sounds good but I'm not sure he's the right man for the job.

As Sgt Esterhaus used to say, "let's be careful out there."

Cspan is to rebroadcast it tonight and again on Monday.

Beck, may not be the "right man" to do it, but I don't see anyone else stepping up to take the Horse by the reigns and do it. His detractors seem to attack him, but so not refute the message.

I have been reading the comments on a number of news outlets and many of the people that are against Beck attack back and his supporters, but if they watched any of the rally, it didn't come across. It was more likely they were just bashing Beck.

No bashing, but do you, or anyone else, have any idea who would be the right man? I am always looking.

Thanks.

Would be interested in your opinion of why he is not the right man. IMO--he stood up and continues to stand up when no one else seems willing. I think he is passionate and honest. He must be effective since the MSM keeps pummeling him.

300,000 people or more. Maybe 500K.

That is big.

Don't expect any honest Main Street Media coverage. What they will say is "a few thousand anti-Obama, right-wingers showed up."

After listening to some of the Beck and Palin speeches at the
rally, I felt like they were imprecise about just what they were didn't like
about the current administration, and how voting for their candidates
would be any better for the American populace.

There didn't seem to be any "there" there.

It was about "Restoring Honor" and not politics. Political speeches were strongly discouraged. It was not a political rally.

I don't think you were watching the right channel, BHO's name was never mentioned once.

It would have been easy to say their policies are responsible for record unemployment, record death toll in Afghanistan, record use of food stamps, record bank failures, record Democrat corruption, record number of unelected and unaccountable Czars, record foreclosures, home sales at record lows, record government spending, record trade deficits, record number of personal assistants for a First Lady, record number of presidential golf games, a stimulus bill that accomplished nothing other than to flush a trillion dollars down the drain, record ecological disaster in the US ignored and exploited for political purposes, taxpayer bailout of GM who now invest in Mexican auto plants, a health care bill passed late at night and on a holiday packed with Socialism and the takeover of the student loan industry, wild weekly taxpayer-financed parties at the White House followed by lavish vacations, secret wiretaps still on, secret tribunals still in effect, executive order used to assassinate Americans overseas, troops still stuck in Iraq, Michelle takes 8 holidays in Summer 2010 alone, club Gitmo still open, don't ask don't tell still on, SEC now immune from FOIA, a mosque being built on the 9-11 site, NASA being used as a Muslim outreach program, bills passed in the dead of night when no one is looking, lobbyists controlling the White House despite promises to the contrary, massive expansion of powers for the Department of Homeland Security while the southern border is left wide open to daily invasion by illegals, foreign policy disasters, and a Vice President so gaffe-prone that even the Liberals try to keep him out of the news.

But they didn't, they didn't mention any of that.

It was about restoring honor in America, being that person you should be, being honest and holding yourself to a higher standard. Faith, Hope and Charity, putting God first in our lives. That's what it was about.

How is it that every time a white man does something there is a black man that calls it racism? I am so sick and tired of that crap.

Can't speak for all of the MSM, but it made front-page news of the on-line edition of my hometown paper (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).

The lame stream media always underestimates a conservative crowd. There were closer to one million there. I love it.

You can't be serious. Any article which opens in the very first sentence by calling Tea Party attendees "teabaggers" is neither unbiased nor trustworthy. More importantly, I am a tea party person, and if that disgusting sexual term is what you call people like me, then I demand here, in public, your apology.

I mean it. I'm not going to let that stand.

Because it has been engrained in most black people that their problems are the white man and white men are privledged. You have to understand, most black people have been told their entire life their problems are because of the color of their skin, now that they are a part of the club its hard to explain to most of them that "hey it aint because your black, this is called life welcome aboard, welcome to the club, sucks dont it?" Its the same mentality of a poor man winning the lottery, they think money will block them from problems. I had a conversation with a black guy about a year ago that had been pulled over and he thought it was racial profiling. When I told him how many times I had been pulled over he was speechless and had no arguement.

Its all about an unreal perspective on life.

I think Beck is doing a good job.

We watched most of the event. I don't see how anyone could possibly take what was happening as anything but a very public rebuttal of those who would remove all references to religion from the public discourse. Those who received the medals and reasons that they were given those honors underscore the theme of the event. We need no one (governmental or otherwise) to tell us what is right. Even our Constitution doesn't do that. It simply acknowledges and codifies what right is.

I found it amazing that Rev Sharpton felt the need to "take back" MLK's legacy. Somehow, I doubt that Dr. King would have agreed with Sharpton's assessment that it belongs to Black people. The message of colorblindness that Dr. King preached is as lost today as the other principals that Glen Beck is trying to remind us about. Sharpton's approach is a reminder than not all of divisiveness in our country has been elected to public office.
