Huge crowds at Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” freedom rally — organized to give thanks to U.S. troops — left Washington, D.C., on Saturday night pleased by the theme and the turnout – as thousands in attendance returned home carrying a message of making America better.
The rally — which Beck and other organizers said they they didn’t want labeled as such because they wanted the event to remain non-political — focused on healing the scars that the nation has suffered as a result of its disreputable moments in history.
“Let’s be honest, if you look at history, America has been both terribly good, and terribly bad. It has been both, but we concentrate on the bad instead of learning from the bad and repairing the bad,” said Beck, who has a radio show and is host of Fox News’ “Glenn Beck.”
“We have a choice today, to either let those scars crush us or redeem us,” he said, speaking from the Lincoln Memorial, where Martin Luther King, Jr., gave his “I Have a Dream” speech 47 years earlier.

I watched most of the video this PM and all I have to say at this time is “Well Glenn, you have certainly dropped a bomb on the current administration”.
Obama and friends must be having a heart attack as they watch the video again and again. How do you rebut this guy?
I don’t know.
I haven’t watched it, but you can’t rebut the truth. So if he is speaking truth, there is no rebuttal. Innuendo, fearmongering, cries of racism, fill in the blank o phobia, whatever, the left will surely gear up to try smear him in some way. I hope the americans have gotten over their “hopey-changey” phase and have their “reality caps” on, because this coming mid terms is going to be a wild, no holds barred, kickem where it hurts battle. I think the dems will resort to anything to either win or cut their losses, with the assistance of most in the MSM.
Hey but what do I know.
