  2. It was not political it was about a spiritual awaking of the country and a return to conservative values .

  6. You guys call out Sharpton and Jessie for race hustling, yet you don't see Beck hustling the right all the way to the bank. LOL.

  9. Quite frankly, I am very grateful to Glenn Beck. IMO what America needs is more people to belive in Restoring Honor. This event raised over 5 Million Dollars for the Special Operations Warrior Foundation.

    The Special Operations Warrior Foundation mission is devoted to providing a college education to every child who has lost a parent while serving in Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps Special Operations during an operational or training mission and immediate financial assistance to severely wounded personnel and their families.

    At least Mr Beck is helping a cause he believes in and not sitting on his duff making fun of others and complaining about something he knows nothing about.

    Our military personnel are dying for us so we can keep our freedom. America needs to Restore Honor. Thank you Glenn Beck for your part in Restoring Honor.

    Alex, if you believe this event was lead by a mediocre person (and 10:08, 10:49) what are you doing to help America gain back trust, values and honor?

  11. He is deep inside of himself now and doesnt understand why there are so few people there. What he is talking about is everyones own reflection and what they see.

  12. 1:05 I will tell you what we're doing.

    Instead of bible thumping we promote stem cell reasearch.

    Instead of blowing up abortion clinics, we think that a woman should decide what to do with her body.

    Instead of courts and states deciding who can and can't get married we want the two adults to decide that.

    Instead of being active in townhalls we're active in study halls.

    Instead of starting useless wars we pull people out of Iraq.

    Instead of being an embarassment in the eyes of the world, we try to reestablish damaged American image.

    Instead of voting for a cowbow from the Toystory or for a quitter from Alaska we actually vote for a Harvard educated law professor. Elite, you're damn right. I want this country run by an elite group of people. We saw what happens if you president looks and acts like the guy you want to have beer with.

    Instead of teabagging hate rallies, we actually get the health care reform passed. So hopefully, we can be a little better than # 37 in the world. Your slogan is I want my country back. Well noone took this country aways from you. I, on the other hand want this country FORWARD.

    BTW, before you start bashing me personally. I do not collect collect welfare. I am currently working on my masters degree and I served 6 years in the army. So I know a little bit about honor...
    And for the record, I do think that Sharpton and Jackson are just as idiotic as Beck.

  13. Alex believes

    In the use of infants stem cells when there has been no success there

    He believes in abortion of innocence but life for life for murders

    He wants to take marriage out of the church and destroy it but give rights to any perverse life style

    He wants to stop free speech in town halls and touts the left wing teachers union failures look at the grades

    Alex doesn't America to defend itself or to take action ahead of time I guess he learned nothing from WWII

    He believes as Obama does that America is an embarrassment , as most others in the world would love to live here and die trying to get here

    He thinks voting for an unproven socialist is better then experience and a proven track record oh and a citizen born in this country .

    He believes Obama's forced health care takes precedence over free will and the freedom of choice and a little thing called the Constitution .

    He states he is working on a masters degree some one tell him a piece of paper doesn't make you smart life experience does !

  14. Anon. 3:19 PM,
    While you're at it, why don't you mock 1:55 PM's six years of military service too?
    That's six more years than Glenn Beck and most of the right-wing " patriots combined military service ".

  19. 4:19, thanks for your comment. I knew I would eventually be challenged by an intelligent argument.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Political ploy, Religious ploy- all to sell some old gold!

    But hey, why look inward?! Lets all just beat up the guy here who articulates his/her argument the clearest! run Alex run

    the right needs to STOP bashing people for being/sounding "smart" lets not forget that is a major selling point for the center and MOST rational voters.

  21. Alex the only Army you have been in was the salvation Army .

  22. We (tea party) need to stop making "Intellectual" a bad word.

    lets not forget that intelligence IS a good quality to have in a leader. The fact that we cant even hold a discussion on this blog without people gay bashing or calling names "for using big words" makes me think twice about voting for anyone who aligns themselves with that mentality.

  25. I love how 6:47 & 6:49's rebuttals of "Intelligence" are riddled with spelling and grammatical errors... haha

    lovely irony.

  27. There is a surprise. Instead of having valid arguments people resort to personal attacks and even question my military service. Once again you prove my earlier point

    ReplyDelete
  28. Alex, so you post a diversionary misspelled comment so that you can comment on it . How pathetic you are .
