This weekend, if all goes as planned, the nation will be treated to the sight of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin rallying anti-government, anti-tax tea partiers on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech. This monstrosity will take place on the steps of the Lincoln memorial, although Beck has gone out of his way to point out that he will be speaking on steps that are below where MLK spoke, as if that makes a big honking difference. I had mixed feelings about whether a cartoon lampooning Beck was simply giving his already massive ego more of the fuel that it apparently craves. In the end, it’s going to happen and going to receive coverage from the dreaded Mainstream Media, so there’s no ignoring it. There’s also no ignoring the fact that, no matter what is said or done, this event will not diminish King’s soaring rhetoric, a speech that remains one of the greatest given by any contemporary American.

Restoring Honor was about bringing honor and glory to our Creator. It was about bringing God back into our country, schools and our hearts. If you watch the rally it honored MLK’s dream. We are one human race. Glenn Beck did what no other American could do bring 500000 people together to stand on this hallowed ground and ask God to bless America.
