Quotes from the reverend Glenn Beck:

“We must restore America and restore her honor,’’

“Something beyond imagination is happening,America today begins to turn back to God.’’

“recognize your place to the creator. Realize that he is our king. He is the one who guides and directs our life and protects us.’’

“I ask, not only if you would pray on your knees, but pray on your knees but with your door open for your children to see,’’




let me understand this, if I call this guy a "nut job" I am a hater?

The man has no honour, all of this religious moralizing is simply to increase his income.

Oh, I have no problem with people having religious beliefs, I just don't think it belongs in the political arena. It becomes a tool for people like--------Beck. Or politicians with even more nefarious agendas.

It was not a political rally

Seems it was a religious rally.

I have to look, I wonder if Sarah brought her witch doctor?

It sounds to me like it was both. And that's why I have a problem with it.

When you mix politics with religion and politics become your religion,
and that's when it gets crazy.

The crowd estimates

"Early reports indicate that so large is the crowd that attendees were having difficulty hearing the speakers. A quick scan of mainstream news outlets that have done actual estimates this morning indicates that attendance at this point is between 300,000 and 500,000 people."
"Reporters on the ground, however, state that the claim of 500,000 attendees is grossly underestimated. A more accurate assessment of the crowd may well turn out to be between 500,000 and 1 million."

or was it 87,000?

It gets even crazier when religion becomes your politics.

Things are so polarized now that internal exposés will have no impact other than causing the accused to circle their wagons against the onslaught of liberals, God-haters, the MSM, ........
