America is better than Glenn Beck. For all of his celebrity, Mr. Beck is an ignorant, divisive, pathetic figure. On the anniversary of the great 1963 March on Washington he will stand in the shadows of giants — Abraham Lincoln and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Who do you think is more representative of this nation?

Consider a brief sampling of their rhetoric.

Lincoln: “A house divided against itself cannot stand.”

King: “Never succumb to the temptation of becoming bitter.”

Janet Wagner You who HATE miss the point - ENTIRELY - b/c this is NOT about Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin &/or another else who spoke at today's rally. This is about all citizens united by CHRIST to restore honor to our great nation!

Brandon Lantz Over the last two days Glenn Beck has provided a venue where men and women of all races and faith can come together with a common goal, to bring this nation back to it’s glory. The hearts of everyone who shared in this message have been opened and touched by God’s loving spirit. May we hold this sacred flame in our hearts and minds, and go forth as a people united to save this country from its downward spiral.

Kind of sums up their hypocrisy.


What message can be taken from a sample of these Dreckkk devotee posts?

That they are all for "Restoring Honor" in the US, but the underlying message is that the US must be solely and exclusively a Christian nation, led and governed only by Christians. "One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for Christians".
