Re: Still waiting....

No, I need an answer as to how some political speeches, a few country music entertainers and some donations to a charity, will restore honor to America.

Political speeches? What political speeches? Since you didn't watch how do you know what was said?
 
Moderator's Warning:
Note: the topic is the "Restore Honor" rally. Please try and stay on topic.
 
not surpising

wow, what an unusual take

what happened under the northern lights tuesday nite was truly shocking

i don't think anyone outside of mr miller himself saw it coming
 
Re: Still waiting....

How is Beck restoring honor to America?

He's not.

The rally was a call for American's to band together to restore honor. We are a nation founded by the belief that we are all guided by a higher power, which is something that our leaders are no longer following. It's up to us, the people, to return to those beliefs and demand our leaders live by them, because time is running out.

Respond if you like, but I won't argue the point with you.

Re: Still waiting....

No way, no how, nobama.

Anyways I will ask as some others did, how is this restoring honor in America? What I saw was them giving thanks to the troops, telling people they weren't grateful enough of the troops, a gospel, and telling people they weren't religious enough.

This is just my opinion, but to restore honor in America would to have an honest conversation with everyone and to truly stand up for religious freedom and human rights rather than tell people what their religious freedoms and rights ought to be.

Freedom OF Religion vs. Freedom FROM Religion seems to be confusing to far too many.

Hopefully, it will lead to the end of the Liberal domination of our government.
 
Re: Still waiting....

but where did the honour go for it to have to be restored?

Apparently over a hundred thousand people believe that honor has been lost and showed up to honor America today. Looks like a successful rally to me.

I didn't see one political speech, nor any country entertainers. But you did get one thing right... those hate mongering racist bastards and their evil leader Glenn Beck, did manage to raise 5.5 million dollars for the wounded warrior cause.

I watched it live on Ustream, and there were over 120,000 people watching that feed. I can imagine there were many more watching it on CSPAN.

what if you dont believe in god? (and plz dont get all fire and brimstone-y on me. i would like a real answer)
 
Re: Still waiting....

but where did it go?

Obama flushed our honor down the toilet when he went on worldwide apology tour. He's destroying our honor, by destroying our country.

Then I guess you don't believe in what the Declaration of Independence says.

I'll wait to read the transcript later, to see what was said.

Yea, time is always running out.
Kinda like how you guys accuse Obama of instilling a sense of urgency and fear, to complete his goals.

Beck is doing the same thing, only this time your cool with it.

I didn't see one political speech, nor any country entertainers. But you did get one thing right... those hate mongering racist bastards and their evil leader Glenn Beck, did manage to raise 5.5 million dollars for the wounded warrior cause.

That's wonderful.

By old people, with their polo shirts tucked into their shorts.
Not so sure about that.

Thank you for giving a strait answer. I would point out that based on that interpretation, it is a political rally.

My take on all this so far: the charity is a worthwhile cause and I do like that they are getting money from this event. Kudo's to all who saw that happen. While it is a political event, the politics of it has been relatively subdued, and the rhetoric has been mild at worst. The concept of America losing honor is I feel ridiculous, but that is simply my opinion. Nothing inappropriate is being done with this. The message is lame, but the attacks on the rally are even lamer.

so America has been dishonourable for about a year and a half, but what has that got to do with the troops?
 
Re: Still waiting....

but where did it go?

It has been destroyed by the "progressive" movement along with personal responsibility. There are no consequences for poor individual choices today which means no respect for oneself. Honor has to start by thinking for oneself first and then by thinking of those that have sacrificed so much for others. The Rally today promoted both.

baloney, i can believe in declaring my independence without believing in god.

Obama and Congress are determined to destroy the country.
However, in the closing prayer at Beck's rally, God was thanked for our President and Congress.
That was only thing half way political I heard.
GRRRR......those hatemongers. :)

HAHAHHAHAHHAHA!

You want the real story? Our super sekret librul plot goes much further. We are working hard to turn the country over to the Chinese. We are working with the Bildeburg group, with whom we arranged the real estate collapse and subsequent recession so we could get more power so we could run the country so much further into debt until China owns a controlling interest in the US. Next step is in 2012, when on the eve of the election we announce that China is going to use it's controlling interest in the US to take over.
 
Actually, welfare was reformed in 1996 by a Republican congress and Clinton signed it into law. So I don't know where you're getting your information from, but it doesn't seem to reflect the current reality.


Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I guess that kinda makes your opinion moot.

That just happens to be one of the "talking points" conservatives are required to memorize and repeat when they join the Republican party. It hasn't been updated, so it's not their fault, plus each time they hear another conservative repeat it, it becomes more engrained in their mind's cache of BS.
