Glenn Beck dreams of God. He prays to God with the door open so his kids will see his subjugation before the Lord. Many of those who love his radio show and came to the Lincoln Memorial Saturday for his “I have a dream” moment have no idea that he worships a false God before them.
Sarah Palin dreams of the military and her Presidency and perhaps putting the two together some day. She dreams of serving out her term if the dealio works for her. She comes to Washington, D.C., Sunday with hundreds of thousands of others to “restore honor” to the military—even as she admits our military has never been without honor. She writes nothing on her hand.
The rally drew white people like grilled cheese to white bread, all in the name of civil rights that barely got a nod from the madding crowd. Glenn Beck is presented to the public on the 47th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “Dream” speech and the March on Washington by marching out on a summer’s day to the bucolic strains of “Appalachian Spring” by Aaron Copland.
Spring, you see, is now summer. A Mormon who cares nothing for the poor declares himself a civil rights leader by accident. His fans worship in Mammon at the feet of a Mormon God and don’t even know it. A Presidential wannabe gives a speech “Restoring Honor” before she admits that no such restoration is possible.
Glenn Beck says “divine providence” brought everyone to the reflecting pool on the day Dr. King made history with the blunt instrument of an idea that could no longer be denied. This time there are no politics and no signs allowed and not single idea to dream of. In a movement bereft of ideas and actual values, the reflection that comes back is blank.
Of course Beck and Palin are shills, paid and bought for.
The Tea Party was formed by Ron Paul and Alex Jones and taken over by these puppets.
http://www.digitalmeetingcenter.com/ron-pauls-shocking-message-to-the-tea-party/851883/
Ron Paul has some surprising news for the Tea Party:
You’re being taken for a ride.
At least this is what many libertarians like Ron Paul believe when they see someone like Glenn Beck or Sarah Palin trying to lead the Tea Party at the “restoring honor” rally this weekend. In fact, Ron Paul believes, if you’re looking for real freedom, you should really go back to the core of the constitution and the bill of rights, which Beck and Palin do not fully endorse when you really look at their beliefs. Whether it be Palin’s support for starting more wars or Beck’s beliefs on paying the private Federal Reserve MORE interest on our money by means of a VAT tax.
Ron Paul believes in neither of the above.
Here was Ron Paul’s message to the Tea Party via The New York Times just the other day:
“As many frustrated Americans who have joined the Tea Party realize, we cannot stand against big government at home while supporting it abroad. We cannot talk about fiscal responsibility while spending trillions on occupying and bullying the rest of the world. We cannot talk about the budget deficit and spiraling domestic spending without looking at the costs of maintaining an American empire of more than 700 military bases in more than 120 foreign countries. We cannot pat ourselves on the back for cutting a few thousand dollars from a nature preserve or an inner-city swimming pool at home while turning a blind eye to a Pentagon budget that nearly equals those of the rest of the world combined.”
While the Tea Party will be out supporting Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin this weekend, you wonder how many of them will be in full support of more wars and paying more interest to a group of untouchable and unauditable private bankers otherwise known as the FED? This is precisely what Ron Paul is asking the American public to consider when looking at the Tea Party leaders and see if they really stand for what they believe in.
Ron Paul believes the Tea Party is not about “left” or “right” like a lot of political pundits make it out to be. It’s about the constitution, and limited government.
Don Chaney How do you know he cares nothing for the poor? I am by no means defending him, I’m just curious what you base that statement on.
Michael Conniff Based on his long record as a civil rights activist… and comments on the unemployed.
Don Chaney Just askin. I’m calling out both sides when they make statements like that. That’s how I’m going to do my part.
Don Chaney I don’t believe comments like that advance the dialogue.
Gregory Dallas Hume One definition of dialogue goes something like: an exchange of ideas or opinions on a particular issue, with some hope to reach common ground. The purpose of Beck’s ranting is to avoid dialogue.
Jeffrey Wertz palin and beck terrify the left and they must be struck down….play the race card next is my guess.
Monday at 11:29am · LikeUnlike · Don Chaney Once again, I’m not defending Beck, but what in particular indicates he is avoiding dialogue?
Roberta McGowan He isn’t “available” for any media interviews
Barry Crook sort of like President Obama then?
Teri Hamilton Bravo! Well said, Michael.
Silbi Stainton I nearly spit out my coffee this am when I read in the newspaper about this rally and the quote that ‘no policy will help us b/c we turned our backs as a country on God’ by Glenn Beck…Seriously… I really thought I had accidently turned to the “continued on” page for the article about the Taliban and the attacks on our troops. I am going to start building schools in the U.S. This is just ….there are no words.
Mark J. Thomas New York Post story on the Koch brothers funding the astroturf is well worth reading: (*especially knowing two of the 4 brothers have homes here, Bill and David): http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/08/30/100830fa_fact_mayer?printable=true#ixzz0xQuvTcbT
Teri Hamilton New York Times- The Billionaires Bankrolling The Tea Party, by Frank Rich
Don Chaney How are they different from the billionaires bankrolling any party?
Silbi Stainton I never really thought of Libertarians as tea party types….old school tea party, yes…but this current version? Not so much? Libertarians as I knew them always seemed more freedom oriented…less Fox News follower. There are regrettably so few third party types now I hardly know if this is still true.
Nick Kertz Michael, it’s sad that 47 years after Dr. King’s speech, you are still judging people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character as you have above in your comments above. Just because people disagree with you does not make it OK to draw conclusions based on race. I think Dr. King would agree with me there…
Lanette Smith Read the article in the New Yorker this week, Don. Then read it again.
Mark J. Thomas Don – read the Time story. (*Not Post – thanks Teri). Much more secretive. At least Soros is transparent. Koch’s have dozens of “think tanks”, “brain trusts” and front groups doing their work for them. These are billionaire idealogues who f…und disinformation and misinformation (ex: Climate Warming Denial information) to further their agendas: mainly more $$$ for them, with largely ignorant foot-soldiers doing their heavy lifting for them. (*And by “ignorant” I mean not informed of the background behind their movement, just “Mad As Hell” and willing to storm the palace in the name of “taking something back”. ) Read the article – I’d love to discuss it with you. Besides – these oil billionaires are our part-time neighbors, and their actions are shaping national focus and energy and effecting political outcomes and ultimately our daily lives. If Hunter was alive today he’d have these guys for lunch.
Jeffrey Wertz Ted turner is a billionaire who puts his mouth AND his money where his mouth is….what’s the difference other than turner seeks the spotlight?
Mark J. Thomas Turner isn’t in the habit of secretly financing organizations to subvert political action through misinformation and political throat-slitting. Read the NY Times article through to the end, then come back and tell me if you think the Koch methods resemble anything Turner has ever attempted (*Are you willing to invest 30 focused minutes on that article, Jeffrey? I’m all for spirited, INFORMED debate.)
Nick Kertz Michael, is Albert Pujols white? http://stlouis.cardinals.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20100828&content_id=14037398&vkey=news_stl&fext=.jsp&c_id=stl&affiliateId=facebook_share
Barry Crook lots of kool aid being swilled here
Michael Conniff @nick Is the Pope Cathokic?
Then of course you have the Left who want to stop the Tea Party movement as well.

Globalist Soros Launches Frontal Assault Against Tea Party
Kurt Nimmo
Prison Planet.com
Saturday, September 4, 2010
Soros and the foundation left have launched a website designed to go after the growing Tea Party movement. Teapartytracker.org will post video interviews and blog entries gathered by folks on the false left who never grow weary of demonstrating their outrage over the very idea of a grassroots political effort overthrowing establishment Democrats and Republicans in the district of corporate criminals.
Teapartytracker.org will be sponsored by the NAACP, Think Progress, New Left Media and Media Matters for America. Think Progress is a George Soros operation connected to John Podesta’s Center for American Progress. Podesta is Clinton’s former chief of staff. Media Matters for America is the brainchild of a MoveOn consultant and Podesta’s Center for American Progress. Soros is a major supporter of MoveOn.
On July 13, the NAACP unanimously passed a resolution repudiating the Tea Party for alleged racism. The resolution followed accusations that the Tea Party had accosted members the Congressional Black Caucus as they traipsed the district of criminals mall on their way to vote for Obamacare, a grand larceny scam cooked up by large corporations. “Civil rights icon John Lewis was spit on, while Congressman Emanuel Cleaver was called the ‘N’ word and openly gay Congressman Barney Frank was called an ugly anti-gay slur,” a press released issued by the NAACP claims.
On April 1, Infowars.com provided evidence that protesters in fact did not spit on Missouri Democrat Emanuel Cleaver or did they hurl racial epithets at members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
Cleaver later said a Tea Party protester did not spit on him intentionally. “All I’m saying is we all have to defuse it, and I think it is not in my best interest or in the best interest of this nation to stoke it,” he said on March 30 during a Fox News interview.
The NAACP and the Soros-funded anti-Tea Party operation, however, do not share Cleaver’s desire to defuse the situation. Instead, they plan to extract as much political mileage from the fictitious incident as possible.
In July, Soros’ Think Progress stitched together a video purporting to show that the Tea Party is chock full of racists.
Recall “Crash the Tea Party,” an effort exposed earlier this year, designed to portray the Tea Party as racists and reactionary throwbacks. Tea Party hating liberals “couldn’t sell the transparently nonsensical idea that Tea Partiers are just a bunch of racists, homophobes and morons, so the Crash the Party agents on the Left are infiltrating the Tea Party in order to pose as a bunch of racists, homophobes and morons,” Mark Tapscott wrote for the Washington Examiner on April 11, 2010.
In addition to so-called liberals attempting to discredit the Tea Party movement, a gaggle of anarchists also announced an effort to disrupt rallies in April.
According to Infoshop News, an anarchist website and forum, the Tea Party movement is “a coalition of conservatives, anti-Semites, fascists, libertarians, racists, constitutionalists, militia men, gun freaks, homophobes, Ron Paul supporters, Alex Jones conspiracy types and American flag wavers,” and because of this mischaracterization they should have their right to protest against the government disrupted.
Considering the above, how do we know Soros’ operatives will not infiltrate Tea Party rallies and demonstrations with actors pretending to be racists and closet KKK members and then pass this off as evidence that the movement is rife with white supremacists?
