On The Same Day: Which One Is Authentic? Reclaiming the Dream, Or Restoring Honor.

Calling Out Glenn Beck.


Fox News' Glenn Beck planned a rally at the Lincoln Memorial on the anniversary of Dr. King's I Have A Dream Speech.

Can Someone Get This Guy Some Prozac? Beck Needs It.

Beck claims he didn't plan to have his 'restore honor to America' rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on the 47th anniversary at the site of Dr. Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream Speech.

Given the above facts, it sounds premeditated to me.

Not only did he plan it, he orchestrated the event to the tea (literally), even to include King's neice, Dr. Alveda King.  At what other moment in time has Beck ever called on Dr. Alveda King?  I'll bet none. 

To add insult to injury Beck has Sarah (I-can't-form-a-single-thought-in-my-head-everything-that-comes-out-my-mouth-makes-me-sound-like-an-idiot) Palin on the list as a speaker.

What the world needs now:  Is NOT another Sarah Palin speech.

Hey, Beck! If you want to restore 'honor' to America (if you believe it really had any) then stop being America's hate monger.

Beck is the epitome of a TV host on steroids. He is America's obsessive-compulsive disorder: a bothersome thought (in this case, a person) that won't go away with the need to perform (self-serving) actions over and over again.

So, when you start to think about all the variables involved in Beck's scheme, you'll find it's not about restoring America's honor.  It's deeper than that.  It's really Beck, and his supporters, saying "I don't like the idea of a mosque being built at the site of New York's 9/11 attack.  (After all, you wouldn't hold a reenactment of a plane hitting the Pentagon and call it restoring honor in the name of those who died there).  Additionally, Beck doesn't like the fact that President Obama hasn't spoken out against it. (He's called the president a racist).

The building of a mosque to honor a group of people that allegedly killed Americans is an insult to Beck (and most others, understandably).  And to Beck, he thinks he must also insult.

Who could he possibly insult in the worse way? Those who honor America's most revered human being.

Why else would he pick the exact location, on the exact date?  To call the Beck event a 'coincident' just makes Beck look like what he is. A liar.

With Labor Day just around the corner, he could have just as well called a 'Restore Honor To America' rally during Labor Day weekend.  

Call it 'Restore Jobs To America' day.  America needs more of that, than the hate Beck spews.

As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. said in the very speech being honored and remebered this weekend, "We must not be guilty of wrongful deeds.  Let us not seek to find our search for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred."

The Story Behind Presidents' Day

Did you know Presidents' Day isn’t just about a day off?  Originally established to honor George Washington’s birthday, it has since grown to celebrate all U.S. presidents who’ve shaped the country’s path. It’s a day to reflect on leadership, service, and the values that drive national progress. Presidents' Day dates back to 1879, when it was first recognized as a federal holiday for Washington. Later, Abraham Lincoln’s February birthday brought attention. By 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act combined the days, creating the long weekend many know today—but its purpose goes far deeper. From decisions that forged independence to policies steering modern challenges, U.S. presidents have helped shape history. It's a moment to appreciate lessons in courage, responsibility, and the impact of strong leadership on society today. How do you celebrate Presidents' Day?  Is it by learning about the leaders who influenced American history? Do you read their biographies, visit ...

"He’s been a point person for my National Export Initiative, and last year, Gary’s depa...
