She is an heir of his legacy and certainly has his extraordinary gift for prophetic rhetoric which can rouse the heart of a Nation. ...
The pundits who condescendingly sought to marginalize the event for weeks before it happened - going so far as to attempt to paint it with allegations of racism - should have been ashamed. The stage was filled with men and women of color, who affirmed our solidarity as Americans. Dr. Alveda King reminded the crowd that we are " united by blood as one race, the human race."
The address given by Glenn Beck followed, calling the Nation to 'Wake Up'. He told the hundreds of thousands gathered in the Nation's Capitol that it was time to "Start the Heart of America again." Framing his address with copious references to the founders and founding documents he used the backdrop of the Lincoln memorial and the Washington Memorial. He honored the heroism of the founders and the genius of the American experiment. However, he also acknowledged the limitations and the scars of those who helped found the American experiment.

I'd venture there's an infinite number of things you still don't know? Da?
Not infinite but surely numerous.
It was funny. Funnier is how some people react over a simple word on a www site.
The Tea Party event was a year ago. Plenty of time (in their minds) for it to dwindle away to nothing. This is now two months before the mid-term election, and we have an event that rivals in many ways what happened a year ago. They have to be apoplectic with dread...
Hey, Jackwagon,are you the patient of the former drill sergeant therapist in the Geiko commercial? Trying to bring your passive aggressive tendencies toward your shrink to innocent FReepers, are you? Why don’t you chug on over to mambie-pambie land for your tissues and leave us out of your mind games. :)
I’m sure many of them have very troubled lives as life can be a real bitch.
I like cheese. Belay that. I adore cheese.
I left it in flames as I passed through, ain't going there again.
Trying to bring your passive aggressive tendencies toward your shrink to innocent FReepers
Most of us ain't all that innocent.
Hey, Jackwagon
Stop watching TV. It's rotting your mind.
Hey daisy mae, that was funny too!
More proof of the left's fear and the media's complicity.
A good one; people keep taking the bait.
If he were just ignored, he would simply look stupid, talking to himself.
I'm caustic with humorous undertones
No you're not.
You're not caustic and you have no humorous undertones.
You're a narcissist who doesn't care about the issues of the day and would rather sh*t all over a thread than actually participate in a discussion.
You're a loner who enjoys pissing folks off.
You're a bore and dullard who thinks very highly of himself and who swells with pride when people call you on your boorish ways.
Well thank you for your expert analysis, Sambo.
You obviously know me better than anyone.
Now get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich.
Now call him the “n” word 15 times Dr. Laura!
LOL!
FR is a sandbox to you and you like to sh*t in the sand.
This is the last time I address a post to you.
I'm pleased to hear it.
You're humorless, pedantic, ignorant, no fun and probably gay.
Begone, Sambo Troll!
“it is apparent that they just don’ t get it. “
That’s okay. When it’s time to take back the country and the traitors in the secret service face two companies rather than two “gun nuts,” let them suffer and die.
