Keith Thank you, I doubt that anyone could have said it better. Glenn (in San Antonio) ----- Original Message ----- From: Keith In Tampa To: politicalforum Sent: Monday, August 30, 2010 12:21 PM Subject: A Couple of Thoughts On Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" Rally
I have read a number of far left extremist blogs and news media reports regarding Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally yesterday, to include the New York Times, the Daily Kos, TruthOut.org, and a couple that Tommy Tom For News has thrown into the mix this morning. The rally, which was held at the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary of Dr. King's speech was attended by no less than a half a million people, and most estimates have the crowd at over one million. There were no serious conflicts; no major arrests, nothing cosequential at all about the event, but to read the far left's account of what took place yesterday, you would think it was a great big hate-fest. Beck attempted to create a non-political rally, in that he asked that no one bring protest signs, and for the most part, very few individuals did. The rally was to be a "Pro-American-Pro-Religious" event, and for this reason, those on the left, especially the far left Anti-American movement in this Nation, hated it, and have done everything that they can do, to discredit the event. The attempt by the Left to paint the event as racist and hateful was seriously undermined by the appearance and speech by the niece of Martin Luther King, Alveda King, a noted Black political activist. Then came the claims that Beck's call for a religious renaissance in the United States was somehow anti-Constitutional. The First Amendment, as you well know, does not forbid the mention of God in American life -- even official American life. In fact, it appears to say just the opposite: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Geez, the Moonbats really hate that, if only they could somehow do away with the Constitution!! Our Declaration of Independence ends with these words: "And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." Renewing our 'reliance on the protection of Divine Providence' doesn't seem like such a bad idea, even after 234 years, and despite the hateful yells and derogatory remarks from the likes of Tom For News, and host of other far left extremist socialist-elitist Moonbats. It is in fact the far left, socialist-elitist extremist camp that is so filled with hate and so Anti-American, that is so blinded by their hate. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
