Restoring Honor Rally

[HUGGY]

I watched part of the Rally on C-Span. It was huge - hundreds of thousands of people. I doubt you watched any of it.

I saw the black preacher recipient of the "faith" medal refer to "Dr. Beck" on C-span.

You do not know enough to speak intelligently or accurately on what I know.

 

[boedicca]

Considering that you persistently prove that you know very little, there is little occasion to comment on what you know.

I watched a good amount of it since nothing else was on. His speech could make a good drinking game, take a shot every time he says crossroads, God, and invokes one of the Founders.

I when he said the settlers arrived 5,000 years ago. I'm sure a great part of the audience did a double take as Beck let some of his Mormonism into the rally.

Though they didn't show the crowd as a whole very much, I noticed a lack of something.

You guys really think we are an honorable nation anymore?

Take a look at any headline.

Corruption, crime is rampant.

Our economy is in the middle of a depression because people had no honor or integrity in their business dealings.

Look at the past 4 administrations. You honestly think we've had honorable people in power most of those times?

We get corrupt politicians because the people are themselves corrupt. We need to begin empowering people with integrity and truth again. Because we are going to be going through some pain soon. It's inevitable. The only question is whether we are prepared for it or not.

Does anyone honestly think we can continue spending carelessly with no consequences? Doesn't matter whether it's personal or public spending, eventually the bill comes in and if we aren't ready, we are screwed.

Does anyone honestly think we can tolerate corruption in our politicians and bueaucracies and there are no consequences?

You think we can have a strong economy when we can't trust one another?

Do you think we can be world leaders when others can't trust us?

You think our children will grow to be honorable people if they see us being dishonest and easily corrupted?

Every single individual needs to look at their lives. They need to root out all corruption. They need to be honest in word and deed. They need to do what they say they will do. They need to do what it takes to meet their responsibilities to take care of themselves, their families, and then do what they can for the community at large.

I am the first one to acknowledge that I need work. Can you honestly say you don't?

And don't confuse honor with pride.

And Glenn Beck has the way to improve upon all those evils? Uh huh... He perpetuates hatred, period. If it were all about losing our "honor" over the past several years, why wasn't someone who exemplifies that "honor" asked to speak? Why not someone like General Patreaus or Rick Warren? Or both? I know I would love to hear speeches from them about restoring honor and dignity, and September 12th would have been the perfect day. But Sarah Palin? Puleeze. This whole rally is political in nature, just shy of the midterm election 2 months away. It's a fucking smokescreen to rev up the tribe and get radicals elected.

another dumbass. i love it. where was anything political mentioned at the rally? Ive watched the whole thing and all that is spoken about is love for the founding principles, love for our veterans, the honorable gift of charity, and sacrafice that made america free. If you take issue with that, then you are the one who is full of hatred. get a clue.

So you really believe anyone attending intends to vote for a Democrat? Or approves of Obama? Gullible-itis has become epidemic.

 

[MaggieMae]

Who would you prefer?

Well?

Anyone?

Would anyone who disapproved of the rally like to offer an alternative?

If not, I suppose we are to assume that there isn't any.

if this rally proves anything of the left it is their hatred of freedom. it really is that simple.

I have the same "freedoms" that I've always had. People like you talk as though we live in a Leninist state. Educate yourselves, please.

It is always interesting to me the vitriol of the ignorant.
People who will jump on the bandwagon of hate because an individual they disagree with is receiving prominence...or in many cases only think they disagree with them because they were told they should.

Glenn Beck is an easy target for ridicule.
The way he chooses to bring a message out is all too often a little too flamboyant, a little carried away. And in the process, unfortunately, his message is lost because of this.

I applaud Glenn Beck, and this rally.
Any rally that brings out the little dark secret that this nation has lost all sense of value and honor is OK by me.
Because we have.

As I've said several times, if it were anybody but Glenn Beck leading the charge, I'd agree wholeheartedly. But he has a clear agenda. End of story.

So what you are saying is, if you heard the speeches on the radio you would be applauding...but because the speaker is someone you dislike - you dismiss it.
Got it.

sure why not? Now answer my questions and stop dodging.

I didn't watch the rally.

But I didn't have to, to know Maggie is only another wingnut prone to pulling her opinion out of her ass and waving it around as "fact."

I haven't stated any "facts" here at all; only opinions. But I don't expect someone as dumb as you to see that.

trust me, it's obvious enough.

Restoring Honor means? It suggests that honor was taken, if honor can be taken, who took it?

Seems to me, and I only watched a short time, this was another in a series of events where uber-patriotism and God are used to appeal to the emotions of the people. It reminded me of this well known remark, ' When fascism comes to America it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.

Of course I'm not suggesting Beck or those who organized today's event or past 'tea parties' are fascists, but they do put on events based solely on emotion which appeal to those who seem to want to hear simple solutions to complex and myraid problems.

Though the stage included a bit of diversity, when the camera pans the crowd there were only white people in view, and most appeared well fed and dressed in middle-class attire.

What specific part of the rally do you not agree with? Stop the ad hominem for one damn minute and post something legitimate...please.

The freedom of speech part.

i think we have a winner.

 

[MaggieMae]

You know how I know this event will succeed? Every left wing psycho on this board is attacking Beck, and not his message.

So far, his "messages" have been replete with innuendoes at best and blatant accusations at worst that Liberals=ALL BAD; Conservatives=ALL SAVIORS. It's pure rot.

you obviously didn't watch the rally. Nothing political was mentioned in any way shape or form. Keep making yourself out to look like a hateful piece of shit like huggy. Really, keep going.

The fact that nothing currently "political" was said means squat. The entire world knows EXACTLY what Glenn Beck represents. Sure, he can turn on the sappy I love America BS and hoodwink his adoring fan club into weeping right along with him. But I'm from the generation where when people said it, they actually meant it, and didn't turn around the following week and say something insulting and ugly against some person(s) who happen to have a different political viewpoint. Glenn Beck doesn't fool me one single bit. AND, neither does Sarah Palin. AND neither does 500,000 supporters who turned out to lap it up.

why do you hate the children of veterans?

 

[MaggieMae]

his only message today was love of america, love of our veterans, and the sacrifice necessary to be charitable. nothing political was ever mentioned. you sir, are a piece of scum and should apologize if you have any dignity.

No sir I will not apologise for my statements. I did not see the whole rally. I did not see anything about the troops. What I saw was crap.

I haven't seen any of it yet. I'm sure it will be the top priority of the 24/7 news cycle for at least a week.

What?
Clearly you haven't watched any of it.

I mean his daily "messages" on FauxNews.

 

[boedicca]

I call shenanigans. You clearly don't know EXACTLY what Glenn Beck represents - but it would be quite revealing of what you represent if you stated in plain English what you think he represents.

I've been watching the rallies and all the anti-beck rally people were WAY off base with their assumptions.

Its not even politicial. It actually is about some principles and celebrating those such as Faith, Honor, and Charity.

Some of you truly are just lost individuals who have nothing but hate and are so blinded by that hate that you can't see something when its right in front of you. All you see is "Evil Beck" and make yourselves out to be very petty individuals for attacking him when he is actually sending out a good message at this particular rally.

I pray that you can all get over your hate and celebrate the principles of equality, faith in each other and something greater than ourselves, hope that we can all come together across political lines in the name of charity, and love for our fellow citizens that this rally has been honoring for the last 45 min that i've watched it on facebook.

One can only imagine the screaming protests if Keith Olbermann had rallied the country in the name of honor.

what kind of fucked up fantasy world do you live in?

I rest my case...
