The "Restore Honor" rally of last Saturday in Washington drew an estimated 500,000 people on the Mall for the organizer, Glenn Beck.
Not too far, at a high school campus, Al Sharpton got about a thousand people to waste their time and listen to a litany of attacks and words aimed at inflaming the rhetoric against Mr. Beck and his rally and to claim that the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King is a possession of only the Blacks of America.
It is obvious that the participation of such a large crowd, and its composition that went through racial lines, religious affiliations and devotions and gender, is a great source of discomfort for the new slave owner Sharpton, who obviously sees in the participation of such a cross-section of Americans, a definite threat to his personal agenda of submission.
And the racist Media also lost the significance of the message that emanated from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, a message of unity, of hope, of honor and of recognition of those in the Military who have and still are sacrificing so much for the freedoms that not only we take so much for granted, but also we are allowing to slowly been taken away from us.
The message that Beck was trying to divulge, and which only those with a clear and moral mind can grasp, is that the fact that our Nation was founded on the basis of Judeo-Christian beliefs is not indicative of a predominance of the Judeo-Christian faith, but the canons of that faith are at the basis of the entire structure of our country, a country guided by the rule of law and the guidelines of morality.
In the Ten Commandments, the call for not killing, not stealing, not taking other people's wives are not just part of the Judeo-Christian faith, but are part of the rule of law that governs our land.
Truthfully, it comes down to the expression of guidance that is received from interests that go well beyond our own little corner of the Nation, the knowledge of being part of a society that, while maintaining the utmost respect for the individual and his freedoms, draws strength from being part, integral part, of a conglomeration of people called America.
There may have been only 500,000 people at the Washington Mall on Saturday, but the spirit that showed up there is shared by millions across this great Nation of ours.
Just my thoughts!
