Restoring Honor Rally

[WillowTree]

Wow... how'd you slip out of quantum phase and end up in our reality? Could you keep on slipping and go somewhere else please? That's moonbat territory.

Tell it to Beck, who LOVES to use the Hitler analogy against Obama. I guess that makes you a moonbat.

I smell another ridiculous "fact" that Maggie has pulled from her ample ass.

I've come to the conclusion is that the real issue here is one of Envy. Beck drew a bigger crowd than Sharpton did.

The tide has turned in the country with more and more people waking up to the need to return to conservative values of limited government, individual rights & responsibilities, and fiscal discipline. The Lefties are afraid.

How big was Sharpton's crowd?

You can't blame him...

He probably had a difficult time scraping together any blacks in the DC area........

Estimates on Sharpton's is 200/300.

Estimates on Beck's is 100,000.

That's about what I'd expect in terms of ratios. I've noticed from years of observing the leftwing protests in the Bay Area that they are usually small groups that the media reports as being HUGE. In reality, they are always the same hard core group of bitter people.

No, I would not call George Washington a fascist.

Now answer my question. If honor needs to be restored, if must have been taken. How can honor be taken, and, if it was taken, who took it?

Honor does not have to be taken, honor can however disappear as faith fades from the people. Today's rally was to help inspire americans to be kind and charitable, tolerant and loving. Values that stem from judeo-christian heritage the heritage of the founding fathers. the source of their wisdom and their sacred honor, and the source of the motivation to make the USA the most free and secure nation under GOD.

Get it?

I Get it. It's an emotional appeal devoid of reason.

Honor has nothing to do with faith in a God, and if it did your restricting such faith to the jude-christian ethos proves it does not. Other people believe in God, by many different names, yet your post suggests they are dishonorable, or at least lack honor.
For the record, honor, is defined as a good name, a good reputation.
If you accept this definition (if you don't define it in your response) then we can agree a nation may have honor or be dishonorable.
By this defintion I accept our nation needed our honor restored, given the dishonorable acts done in her name at Abu Ghraib, in the denial of basic human rights by the practice of extraordinary rendition, by holding human beings in GitMo without benefit of trial for years and in denying the absolute right of habeas corpus to Jose Padilla; as well as waging war in Iraq without meeting the standards of a Just War (Bellum iustum); in particular causing the deaths of civilians.
But restoring honor had nothing to do with Beck or those who funded and organized the rally today. It was all about restoring the Republican Party to power, that is the agenda, hidden, but in fact its purpose.

Most Americans are extremely concerned about the economic status of the country, and their own personal financial futures. It certainly isn't unreasonable that the most vulnerable of people who want to grab hold of anything that will make them feel better at the moment will turn to political rhetoric that addresses ONLY emotions and ignores the hard reality that no amount of empty patriotic and/or religious propaganda can fix things.

Well, that's probably represents the entire black population in DC, wouldn't you say.......?

C'mon Sammy. You can do MATH better than that. The black population of DC is over 50% of a city of 600,000.

I've listened to Glenn Beck for years, a lot of him when he was on CNN. And he was NOT as loony as he is now. Imagine that. Ca-ching ca-ching...

i call bullshit.

I doubt highly you ever listened to him beyond what was filtered through media smatters. Why? because you spout hyperbole. You never referenced what you used to here except in broad strokes. And if you listened any time in the last 5 years like I have, you'd know what it is he has been talking about.

I wouldn't be so quick to accuse.

Maggie could have easily listened to Glenn Beck, but armed with the mental capacity of the average Beagle, quite probably didn't understand a word she heard.

You seriously do look very foolish with such comments. It's obvious to anyone reading your unsubstantiated insults that you're just pissed because I can smack you down in a New York second, and you have nothing. So you spew your cheap shots instead. How old are you? Forty something going on twelve?

Are you babbling away again about the REVERAND Martin Luther King?

Idiot.

That would seem reasonable to me. I couldn't get anything like an 'official' estimate on it. Which tells me they would prefer no one ask.

I don't think you look foolish.... in fact, quite the opposite.

REALLY????!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooo.......

My goodness, well, that cannot be true, otherwise many more would have shown up to Al Sharpton's rally, on August 28, a VERY IMPORTANT DATE for AFRICAN AMERICANS.

Typical MSNBC...
Yesterday on their website...
Headline #1..."Beck restoring honor rally draws thousands"
Headline #2..."Sharpton DC rally draws thousands"

 

[MaggieMae]

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.

This rally wasn't about left or right.

Oh yeah, I wonder how many on the left will now rush right over to Beck's version of the "right" all because of this nonpolitical rally.

Still trying to figure out the irony, huh?

Synthabrain wasn't programmed to grok irony, or much else for that matter.

They're more amusing that way, don't you think?
