there was absolutely no 'hateful screaming or anything' at the 8/28 rally either, and it was also wall-to-wall people, horrendous traffic, ad nauseum
for some strange reason, heaps of libs keep chirping how much more 'fun' today's rally was. well, i should hope so. i don't think the hundreds of thousands of people who went to a rally named 'restoring honor' were there for giggles. i certainly wasn't.
I wasn't at the Beck rally, so I cannot speak about its mood. But at this year's 9/12 Tea Party at the Capitol there was plenty of vitriol, paranoia, and outlandish accusations. Plenty of us are tired of hearing "fear the government," "destroying the country," "2nd amendment solutions" and similar hyperventilating. Today's rally was for sanity and reasonableness. That's why it got so much support. It was time to remind America that a big chunk of the country doesn't feel aligned with the message the extremists and media are pushing.
LOL! I can't stand Beck myself, but you have obviously never attended a Mormon Church service or you would not have made such a ludicrous and unverifiable comment.

Well. One should always be weary, IMO, in the face of controlling parties.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Making sure they don't do it for "for light and transient causes" but for a real "long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism".

One should. BigJon, did you watch the rally?
