They say they are "reclaiming the civil rights movement".

Reclaiming it from WHOM? Did someone take the civil rights movement from right-wing xenophobes?

Back in MLK's day, guys like Beck called him a communist, and much worse.

Beck: We are 12 hours away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America. [applause] And it has nothing to do with this city or politics! It has everything to do with God almighty!

Looks the same to me. Still the same old melting pot that was here yesterday and the day before, and the day before.

Palin? eh. pointless nonsense.

Leaving healthy babies to die in closets is a law Obama had/wanted passed? He said he knows because he's from Illinois? Well, here in CA Whitman's going to get a ton of votes - surely doesn't mean the people voting are intelligent.

We lost our honor when Jill Stanek made up endless bullshit about live babies being stuck in a closet to die?

This is utter bullshit.

The bill Obama got passed did NOT allow infanticide, which is what killing a child is. That's not legal anywhere, and never has been. The "Live Birth" bill was bullshit that duplicated laws already on the books and was just to try to make Democrats look heartless if they voted against it.

Jill Stanek's hospital was investigated, and nothing was found, but she still goes on and on about it. She's so insane and full of shit.

Hospitals have bereavement rooms for families whose babies die shortly after birth. She finds those rooms to be appalling and thinks they are just covering something up. She has no empathy for a family who wants their baby desperately, but that baby simply didn't form correctly and had no chance to survive.

Anyone who believes Jill Stanek is dumber than a stick. She even cheered on George Tiller's murder.

But here's the important one: who lost America its honor?

The fascination with Glenn Beck is verging on the maniacal.

- when the US deposed a democratically elected government in Iran, and installed the Shah as a puppet dictator.
- when the Military-Industrial Complex took over the government during the Cold War.
- when JFK was killed by a CIA/Mafia conspiracy.
- when 60,000 Americans and a few million Vietnamese died for no good reason in a pointless war of attrition.
- when Reagan sold weapons to Iran in violation of an arms embargo, used the money to covertly support the right-wing Nicaraguan Contras, lied about it on national television, then was forced to admit his lies.
- when the US began torturing detainees in Iraq in violation of the Geneva Conventions.
- when innocent Iraqis were tortured and murdered for sport at Abu Ghraib Prison.
- when the US began flying 'terror suspects' to Black Prisons in countries where torture is 'legal'.
- when Colin Thomas, Condoleezza Rice, Donald Rumsfeld and George Bush lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq.
- when the US economy was turned into a debt-ridden casino for the benefit of the top 2% of income-earners.
- when the Republican Party was reduced to a vile, corrupt, reactionary fragment of its former self.

The only way to restore it is to bring the war criminals and the war profiteers, in servie to whose interests the illegal wars of aggression were started im the first place, to justice. This of course will not happen. So we just add it to the national book of shame with our otherdishonorable , inhuman and evil acts that have characterized our entire history, like slavery, the genocide committed against the indian nations, the other wars that were instigated under false pretenses in order to further enrich the already wealthy...like Vietnam, the war against Mexico, all of the indian wars. Since our earliest days this country has been an epicenter of sociopathic injustice and cruelty, none of which has ever been adequately atoned for or even acknowledged.

There is practically zero chance that this nation will ever achieve to the state of being honorable.

I live in Illinois. Obama is popular STATEWIDE. Those two rednecks just lied throughout that vid. They distort everything the President says. Just a couple of angry middle aged white men frustrated because they couldn't call Obama N****r and were told to keep their nasty racist placards at home.

I can't believe that a guy as bright as Obama thinks that there's an upside to working with(bipartisanship) abject hopeless cases like those two fools.

When my eyes fell on the link labeled "Continue reading", my brain first registered it as "continue reeling"...but after thinking about it for a moment, considering the positively mind-blowing things that some of these people are saying (and in the firm belief that they are unquestionably true), I realized that "reeling" would actually be remarkably appropriate in this context!

Hey guy from the tape!!!! You FORGOT TO MENTION THE CHUPACABRAS who wander the House of Reps and White House at night. What about the ZOMIBES!!!!!!

Exactly when did America lose its honor? How did we lose it?

America lost its honor when:

*it elected and glorified a racist dolt as POTUS through the 1980's in the person of reagan
*it manufactured impeachment proceedings against Bill Clinton for a private matter having nothing to do with his duties as POTUS
* the SCOTUS intervened in a presidential election to select bush the lessor as the winner over Gore.
* it responded to 9/11 by invading a country that had nothing to do with 9/11
* torture o prisoners, indefinite detention, black sites, and illegal spying on Americans

there are many more dishonorable acts since the 1980's, all of which are tied to the republican party/conservative movement. There are also massively dishonorable acts prior to that such as the 10 million person strong genocide of native Americans and the use of nuclear weapons on two densely populated Japanese cities, incinerating hundreds of thousands and poisoning generations, the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, the illegal use of depleted uranium munitions, the civil war, and on and on.

The real question is when has America acted honorably - it pales compared the to long history of dishonorable inhumanity, unwarranted aggression, and violence.

The koch-heads have spoken.

This is very much the same fundamentalism that strongly influenced the so-called Great Awakening and American Revolution. It's the type of fundamentalism that theologian Roger Williams and his friend Isaac Backus were not in favor of, granted they were both spiritual men.

The greatest revolutionary orator, Patrick Henry, learned his art from the storied pulpiteers of Hanover County, Virginia. Hanover was a hotbed of Presbyterian and Baptist dissenters in a colony where the Anglican Church was established bylaw. Though raised Anglican (his uncle was a clergyman, his father, a vestryman), Henry's oratorical style was more indebted to the dissenters' enthusiasm than to staid Episcopal propriety. One opponent likened his firebrand approach to that of "a Presbyterian clergyman, used to haranguing the people."

Whom and or what I believe is purposely stirring the global pot so-to-speak, is overwhelmingly influenced by "The Family". It's simply a "Jesus Plus Nothing" concept that is promoted each year. I find it unfortunate that the desires of our founders to keep church and state separate regardless of religions positive effects on society has failed, and I'll know for a fact when this case comes before the SCOTUS.

So there you have it. Barack Obama personally killed babies.

These two prove the old axiom, "You can lead a man to knowledge but you can't make him think."

Hey, Sarah, restoring the "principles" of the "Founding Fathers"?

So, you're promoting losing your right to vote, own property, etc.?

Psalm 109:8 - Evangelical Call For Holy War!

For some insance reason, I feel like I have transported by to the 1960's. I am a 60 year-old black female that was raised in Memphis, Tennessee. When Martin Luther King came to Memphis in April of 1968 because of the unfair treatment of the Sanitation workers, I marked with him in downtown Memphis. I was also at the speech he made that night in one our Big Churches with standing room only and I had standing room only. Of course, we all know what happened after. But I am appauled, angry, totally enraged that Glen Beck and Sarah Palin would have the nerve to do something in name of Martin Luther King. It seems that every since the Teabaggers came out and Republicans supported their agenda, all of these white people that it is okay again to be openly racist and feel they say and do whatever to take us back in time. It's unbelieveable. They acting all brave and stuff with racism, trying the destroy immigrants or non-immigrants, oppose Muslim the right of their religion (Muslim Americans) put up racist sign garbage about our President and disrespect him in every way they can, where are the non-racist whites and why aren''t they throwing a fit or do we not have any of them anymore either.

These two backward white racist trash talkers are outrageous. I am very sure that King really is turning over in his Grave. Palin is most redneck, racist and hated "B>>>th" in this nation. And for GULLIBLE AMERICANS TO BE FALLING FOR THIS CRAP IS EMBARASSING.

The so-called "RELIGIOUS RIGHT", CONSERVATIVES, GOD FEARING PEOPLE, don't know one damn thing about the bible. They all out calling Obama a Socialist because he wants every American to be able to take advantage of American Dream and Share.

The biggest Socialist in history was Jesus Christ. IN Acts 2 and Matthew 6, said people came together , both rich and poor and the rich brought a lot of their possessions share to with everyone, especially the poor and needy. These wealthy and well-to-do Republicans are GREEDY and want to keep everything for themselves. They are giving Rush Limbaugh and Charles Manson, exactly what they wanted, "A RACE WAR". They also DO NOT WANT A MIDDLE CLASS. They want poor and rich, nothing in between and would be totally satisfied to see lower class people out of work, living on street and eating out soup kitchens like so many were during the 9 years of the 1930's depression. Just how sinful are these people? And nothing is worse the RIGHT WING Ministers and Evangelists, they are just as phony. Just about all of these TV Evangelists are personally worth Millions of Dollar and take money in their congregation from the poorest of people while they continue to get rich. It is no surprise that they support and are Republicans.

On the subject of abortion the Cons are hypocrites as they want the Gov't to stepped in and tell every woman who wants an abortion , to tell them no, that in turn means more Gov't...yet they say they want less gov't, Hypocrisy at it's worst.
But, it doesn't end there as they only want more Gov't while the fetus is in the womb, when the fetus becomes a born baby they then could case less and want no more Gov't. not caring if the baby is living in a safe place, well fed, loving parents and not in some children institution or foster care. No more Gov't to see if that baby is ok.
Even worst HYPOCRISY!

speaches were.

If this was about religious revivalism, you would thing they would talk at some point about their personal "journey to God". What is it that led them to their current state of belief (especially Beck who was an adult convert to Mormonism)? how exactly has their faith helped guide their lives?

Of course, they can't do this because all the evidence is that neither of them has any deep religious faith. If they did, they could not both have pursued careers that have depended at a fundamental level on the demonization of others.

So instead they limit themselves to a sort of generic moral smugness. "I am a Christian. All of you here are Christians. The Christianity of anyone who doesn't agree with us is suspect. Our superior Christian faith makes it both necessary and inevitable that our (unspecified at this time because this event is "non-political") agenda will prevail."
