Beck, Palin Stress 'Honor' at Rally

You don't notice that those numbers add up to THE COMPLETE HOUSE AND SENATE?

What the hell, man?

Holy crap! In the 60's, there were only northern and southern Democrats and Republicans? What about Alaska and Hawaii? Where do they fall into the mix? Or, Montana? Montana wasn't a state during the Civil War. Your Star specifically stated, "northern and southern", congress critters. As if the the congress critters that voted for were from the, "north", and the ones that voted against were from the, "south".
 
You can be rich, successful, have a TV and radio show and still be humble.
Now Obama could never be humble, even if he was dirt poor. He doesn't have it in him, and Beck doesn't have a spec of arrogance.
They are complete opposites.

Rose colored glasses over a butt crack. Very unique.

Because there was a difference between Northern, and Southern Democrats, if you understood history you would know these things.

You're saying that there were only northern and southern politicians, then.
 
Nice try...

I was looking at the black community only; the numbers are up across the board.
Isn't government assistance great?

Then you have this decay as described by Rev. Peterson:



Notice the time frame? 40-years.

That trade of 10 million votes was a bad one for all America and Americans. Especially those that follow the likes of Wright, Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan, and Obama.

So much decay in such a short time, and with so much government assistance.

.

Why don't you tell us how you really feel about black people?

What the hell are you talking about?
Just so you know
South= 11 states that made up the Confederate States of America
North= The rest of America
It's not geographically accurate, but it is representative of the Civil War. I explained this in an earlier post, where I posted those exact numbers.
 
george wallace was democrat gub of alabama well into the 80's

he's the last 3rd party candidate actually to win electoral votes---georgia, mississippi, alabama, louisiana and arkansas in 68

in DEMOCRAT primaries he always performed impressively in wisconsin, indiana, florida, actually taking maryland and michigan in 72

and who can forget that dramatic address to the DEMOCRAT convention, wallace wheelchair bound, in miami?

it is what it is

proper use of history
 
The organizers did not appear to have planned for a crowd so large. Thousands sat on patches of lawn out of sight of the few Jumbo-trons that displayed the action on the stage. Several times, portions of the crowd, unable to hear the speakers, chanted "louder, louder." Many people wore shirts with American flags and faces of heroes from the American Revolution. People followed the instructions to bring no political signs. "These are just totally normal, go-to-work, Honey-can-I-do-the-dishes people -- who are fed up," said David McGregor, a real-estate developer who had flown to Washington from Orlando, Fla.

After the rally, a number of people said they took as the main message of the gathering that they had to get their own houses in order. "This is about each of us individually," said John Houck, a Vietnam War veteran who had come from Raleigh, N.C. The gathering was also his first-ever political event. "We are not rally people," he said, standing beside his wife, Louise.


No fighting, no guns, no riots. Just well behaved ordinary people who believe this country has taken a wrong turn.

Fantastic :)

Beck, Palin Stress 'Honor' at Rally - WSJ.com

Oh please....5X as many people gather every year for Gay Pride in Los Angeles and there isn't any riots or anything either....what exactly are you celebrating?
 
Well I'd imagine Gay people are in general much happier than the people that attended this rally which maybe makes it a feat that it was peaceful.

I want to put this out there - most gatherings of people aren't as violent as originally thought. Unless it's a VERY controversial group (i.e. the KKK marching through Schaumberg), then there is likely to be less than violent response.
 
It wasn't exactly a peace rally.....

Nevertheless, you can't deny that Glenn Beck isn't wearing a bullet proof vest or that those aren't tea partiers in the videos and that is the issue, not the site.

when the msm's pick up on the vest, you'll have something

until then, you're the equivalent of a birther

worry

IMHO, there was quite a lot of irony in Beck's rally being held on the day of King's "I have a dream speech", and on the very spot he gave that speech. There was a lot of talk about getting the government out of people's lives, and I liked that to quite an extent. However, this is where the irony kicks in. I remember Selma Alabama and Jackson Mississippi in the 1960's, when blacks were murdered and churches blown up because people wanted to exercise their constitutional right to vote, to get served at lunch counters, and to ride in the front of the bus. It was in that context that Martin Luther King made that famous speech, and in that speech, he was not advocating for less government, but for more government, in order to protect the rights of those who were being murdered and their churches blown up.

On this day in history, I very much respect the fact that Beck and Palin ran a good and peaceful show, and put out a great message of Americans coming together. I think Dr. King would have liked that. But let us also remember that, no matter how much we are against the government controlling our lives, there are pivotal times in history when government intervention is absolutely vital, in order to protect the rights of ALL Americans. Let us never forget what the civil rights struggle was really all about.


Um.. What? (See bolded part)

I heard Al Sharpton say almost word for word the very same thing you bolded from our "conservative" friend Dan. Weird....How'd that happen?

I have the right for the government not to legislate my job out of existance.

What a coincidence. Hit men for the mob in Detroit are saying the exact same thing. :mrgreen:
 
It's coming back on C-Span right now. Check it out.
I watched it earlier.
The honor part, the way I took it was restoring our own individual honor (integrity)

have you lost your honor?

As my mother always said, since I am incredibly absentminded, "Okay, Bob; where did you see it last?"

Not sure.. :)

I do know that no where in MLK speech can it be construed that he was advocating bigger government, only an honoring of the Constitution.


Oh, DD, gay pride parades eh? Sheesh, do you take yourself seriously? :)
