Interesting Quote: Alveda King


When I join Beck and all gathered at the Lincoln Memorial this weekend, I will talk about my Uncle Martin and the America he envisioned. I will talk about honor and character and sacrifice. I will be joined by those who represent the diversity of the human race.

On Saturday, Uncle Martin’s dream of personhood and human dignity will resound across America. And the Park Police should consider themselves forewarned: As we stand in the symbolic shadow of the great American who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, we just might sing.

Glenn Beck talks about why he's holding a Rally during MLK's Anniversary


Glenn Beck is having his Restoring Honor rally tomorrow at the Lincoln Memorial. For some reason, he believes that Honor is lost in America.

But he also believes this is the best time a place to do it:

Beck himself says that it’s only a coincidence that his mass meeting will be held on the MLK anniversary. For months he has insisted that it was originally planned for Sept. 12 – the 9-12 Project is the name of a Beck-led values revival effort, after all. Then he realized that date was a Sunday this year, and he did not want to rally on Sunday. So he changed it.

Saturday, Aug. 28, was the best match for the schedule of other people involved in the rally, Beck has said.

And it is true that the coming weekend is a big one for “tea party”-related events in Washington. Many tea-party members probably would have been in town anyway, and this way they can add a Beck rally to their schedules.

FreedomWorks, a tea-party organizational group, is holding its own “Take America Back” convention on Friday evening at the Daughters of the American Revolution’s Constitution Hall. The conservative political advocacy group Americans for Prosperity, founded by billionaire David Koch, is holding a big “Defending the American Dream” summit on Friday and Saturday, as well.

Beck says that his rally is nonpolitical. Sarah Palin is speaking, but no elected GOP lawmakers are scheduled to appear. The tea-party group conventions, however, decidedly are political.

Well, he lies. This is political. The Tea Party is involved, Moose Mess is involved... It is political.
I hope to see this mess on TV. I want to hear the foolishness being pushed out there.

Plus, Rev. Al Sharpton is going to be there, and he's bringing a rally with him. So this Honor rally may be poppin'.

Make Room for One More



The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson, the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop, will deliver the invocation for Sunday’s kickoff inaugural event on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, according to the Presidential Inaugural Committee.

This is where MLK spoke...very interesting choice.

Many are glad about him being there while some are thinking this is a response to Ricky W. However Obama's peeps claimed this was already in the works. It doesn't matter to me, but I hope it will calm the gays who planned to jump ship.
