I hate to be a wet blanket but just what does “The Weeper” hope to accomplish? Does he think Obama and co. are scared? They aren’t. I see this as one giant national Kum-By-Yah. I contribute to the wounded warrior fund anyway.
My family and I are driving down tomorrow morning from Laurel (halfway between DC and Balt).
Getting there via Metro won’t be too bad.. it’s the leaving that will be awful. So will drive.
We were going to try to park near the Air & Space Museum about 8 AM, but given some of the expected crowd estimates... will have to rethink that plan.
I’d say the purpose, or one of the purposes, is to stir up the masses. We have too many complacent apathetic citizens here who need a fire lit under their azzes.
For one thing....I think a rally like this does provide energy and support for those thousands of us who health wise can’t do much. It makes us feel like there are indeed many others who feel as we do and hopefully those watching will also be motivated to get off the couch and do something. I work on phone calls...mailings...emails...all from home.....but would give anythng to be out there on the ground like I used to do. nothing like that energized feeling So while you may look at it as a useless project..there are many who look at it to re-energize people....Oh yes, I also contribute money..and time to the Wounded Warrior project......
I look forward to replies to your question. A call for restoring honor seems to be a good thing. Seeing hundreds of thousands flocking to DC in support of this effort seems to be a good thing.
What if the TEA party had stayed home last year? What did they accomplish by inundating DC? Is it all for nothing?
Don’t fear “The Weeper”. Oh, I think Obama & Co. are scared. Thanks for your contribution. I can’t wait to hear what the total is.
I personally, think he hopes to accomplish bringing more people to God, either for the first time or those who have fallen away, to come back to God. That’s how I see this.
And as he keeps stating, without God, we are doomed....and we need to get this country back to the principles of God (and our Founding Fathers ideals that created this country).
I kind of agree in a way, but who cares what Obie thinks? I like a lot of Beck’s stuff, don’t always agree with everything, but don’t have to. He’s putting pressure on Congress, and helping to wake up America. That’s good enough for me. I love watching the media coverage of this- it really irks them that anyone thinks differently than them. So many decades of working towards socialism, only to get within grasp of it, and dang it-people protest against it. Not going, but my thanks and prayers go out to those going.
If nothing else comes of it but massive contributions to SWOF, that’s great. Even better is some non-believers wake up to smell the eternal coffee.
