Glenn Beck is a modern day crook. It used to be the preacher on TV telling you to donate to the church. Now it is a man from a news station telling you that God is communicating with him. Are you serious? This great nation is going down the toilet because people are sooooooooooooo desperate to believe in ANYTHING.
From what I am seeing and hearing from this Beck rally, it sounds exactly like a fuckin' Jimmy Swaggert, torturous, evangelical gathering of the masses, BUT they will tell you they are the PATRIOTS! Lots and lots of military talk, lots of religion, lots of Swaggert type crying from Beck, lots and lots of prayers and talking to God. This is definitly a call for our country to turn from the evils of liberalism and run to God and the conservatives, for they will SAVE US ALL! But it's also a call for money! Yup, this a money grabbing fundraiser, Beck talks about charity and giving today, he wants you to give to the foundation for children of special ops military who have been killed in the line of duty. He and his people are keeping a tab on the incoming $1,000.00's so he can report during the rally how much money he is getting....
"Something beyond imagination is happening," Beck told the large crowds gathered at the National Mall in Washington. "America today begins to turn back to God. For too long, this country has wandered in darkness." I guess the darkness means the ungodly liberals. See, he thinks liberals should NEVER have power in this country. We are the reason God has turned his back on America. The conservative party must fight the evil liberals. So this rally wasn't about politics per say, just the liberals.
Sarah Palin spoke today too, she was mostly focused on the military talk. She nor Beck were overtly political in their speeches (it was reported), But Palin did say ... "It is so humbling to get to be here with you today, patriots. You who are motivated and engaged ... and knowing never to retreat."
"We must restore America and restore her honor," said the former Alaska governor, echoing the name of the rally, "Restoring Honor."
Restore America in what way Ms. Palin?? Resore honor because our honor has been stripped from us by Barack Obama and liberals?? EXACTLY!! In their round about kinda way, they were talking politics and sticking it to us! Uuuuuuugggghhhhh!!!
Hope the rally goers had a fab time. Let's see if they listened to Beck and hold their hands out to ALL Americans and stop hating. Yes, hating. The hate is coming from the evangelicals intolerance for equality in America. So if Beck tells them to be charitable, does that mean love thy neighbor as thy self, (even if you are a Muslim)?? We'll see what happens tomorrow...
Beck is the new Swaggert....
Palin is the new Schlafly
