Glenn Beck Rally Will Be Like Moon Landing, Wright Brothers, & Rosa Parks All Rolled Into One Massive Orgasm Of American History


If there were any thoughts left in me that Glenn Beck is merely entertainment and shouldn't be taken seriously, they've taken flight and left forever. This man is a megalomaniac. He will do anything to make his money, including taking this "character" he's created to the frustrated and uneducated, jaded and angry and yelling "fire" in the crowded theater of their helplessness. This is the end of our country's credibility. Our government destroyed its own over the last decade, and Beck is doing his part to show the rest of the world just how stupid the citizenry can be. Between this rally and the protests over Park51, we as a country are announcing proudly how callous, shallow, self-serving and idiotic we can be. We all share the blame for allowing this egomaniacal demagogue to become so public a figure, and as a country, we should be ashamed. He is no patriot. He is no American. He has no values outside his own greedy ideals. How could we let this man get to this moment in time? How complacent can we have been?

I fear for my children's future. My country has officially gone to the dogs. I am incredibly depressed.

Laura Ingraham: 'Move This Mosque' (VIDEO)


When are people going to realize that its only as insensitive and inappropriate as people WANT it to be?

Has anybody ever thought about the fact that to those wanting to build this place there is a genuine desire to use the place as a place of healing and understanding? That maybe, just maybe, this so called "hallowed ground" is not only appropriate but the PERFECT place to have a community outreach center?

Think about it: The site of a tragedy perpetuated by those who were, in their own warped opinion, devout muslims; a place where muslims of Western views and understanding would want to help erase the caricature of their religion perpetuated by that horrible act.

I hear alot of noise from the right saying they wish the muslim community would condemn the terrorists (which they have, but that's another post) and/or apologize on their behalf. In my humble opinion, this community outreach center is the most tangible and powerful statement of contrition and tolerance the muslim community could ever create. A place to promote learning, interfaith dialogue and understanding. This could be a HUGE bridge between people, an amazing opportunity for peace and understanding. But those clamoring for it to be put elsewhere are not only missing the point, they are only pushing the muslim community further away and alienating them from the rest of us.

That, my friends, is dangerous and un-American.

This building should be built.
