January 25, 2010 - Glenn's radio show:
We must do two things. And really it's just this one. Remember, remember who we are. If we remember who we are, where we came from, why we came here, who let us, who wrote those documents, why did they write them, if we remember the mistakes we've made, and we made a lot, but I ain't going on a European apology tour for it. Every country has made mistakes, some bigger than others. I think in the balance we've been pretty good. But if we remember our mistakes, we'll be able to fix them. So remember.
And what happens when we remember? Well, if we remember, then we have to choose. And here comes the second part. Then we have to choose. Are we going to be part of the solution or part of the problem? And really honestly the problem is two can play at that game. The solution is to just always tell the truth. I announced on that same stage that I was going to be holding an event, and I didn't tell you much about it. On August 28th, this coming August 28th, I told you it would be at the mall in Washington. A lot of people are going to think that this is a tea party. It is not. I hope it will be something much, much deeper than a tea party. I believe what we are creating is going to be something that will be one for the history books. There is not going to be one word of politics from the stage, not one. Because the way to fix Washington is not through politics but through each of us as individuals. Because when we fix ourselves and we are united on the principle of honor and honesty and integrity, they will fear us like they've never feared us before. Why can somebody go to Washington that you think is so strong and then all of a sudden turn? All of a sudden they become part of the problem? Well, I think it's because they've lost their honor. They may have lost their honor before they even got there. And when they lost that honor, when they cheated on their wife or they embezzled or they took this deal or they compromised here, whatever it is, that's when they become a tool. That's why I ask you to join me at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on 8/28 in a program called Restoring Honor. The feet of Abraham Lincoln. I'm reading a book right now called Giants. It's fantastic. It's the things that Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln had in common. Amazing men. But you don't have to solve Washington. The tea parties have the backdrop of the capitol. The capitol could go into a giant sinkhole as far as I'm concerned. Doesn't matter to me. You are not going to be able to go in there and fix that, unless you start at the other end of the mall and you start by looking and reflecting at Abraham Lincoln. And then you look and reflect. That's what the reflecting pool means. Reflect. You look one way and you are looking at Abraham Lincoln and you can reflect on him. You look the other way and you see the Washington Monument and everything that Washington stood for and you reflect on him. Once you do that and then make your choice, two can play that game. Or I'm going to be like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. When you do that, you'll fix the country. I'm convinced of it. Education, reflection and higher choices. I can't tell you who or what is going to be on the program at this point for a myriad of reasons. But just know we want to be there. It is going to be amazing.

He's hard to read with the run-on sentences and the speaking in phrases like Adam West as Batman or William Shatner as Captain Kirk.
He made no mention of the troops. He mad no mention of Freedom of Speech.
He thinks this protest could be monumental and mail won't be delivered for his birthday like Washington and Lincoln. :lol:
Wow, I can't believe he really said that.
You lost me. How is the name Restoring Honor somehow partisan?
Glenn clearly states on his website that this is a non-partisan rally. On his radio show I've heard him say it is a non political rally and not a tea party.
I realize he'll probably have very few liberals there.
They have too much hate for him in their hearts but at least he is trying to bring people together for a good cause.
Huh? Could you explain that, please?
Or I'm going to be like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
The repetitive use of words/phrases and the messianic tone of this mission. He's trying to sell himself as the Savior of America. He speaks in vague platitudes and then wants to pretend he is anything like Lincoln and Washington is a real knee slapper.
Well, it starts off with the supposition that our country has lost its honor. Corruption, political games, and treating the citizenry like morons is something that has existed in politics forever. Yes, it's nice to want to fight against it, but to pretend it's something new or something that our country has ever been without is naive.

Yes, Palin will be there. So will Marcus Luttrel (the Lone Survivor), some bands will be there....he won't say who else.
He said just the security for the event is going to cost 6 figures. I know he has had many death threats (as well as his family and his employees and families). Pretty scary, but I'm glad he has good security.
You must be mistaken. His only enemies are on the left. You know, the tolerant and peaceful people. The ones to look out for are tea party people and they mostly like Glenn.
I don't read those sites. I doubt it will amount to much of a protest. Maybe they will take up a street corner.
He said WE ALL should strive to be like Lincoln and Washington who had great HONOR. You disagree?
Or I'm going to be like Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.
He's easier to listen to than read. Do you ever listen?
The charity is for the the troops.
It's NOT a protest.
Why all the negativity? The guy just wants to take a day and bring people together. If it turns out differently I'll admit I was wrong.
If I'm not mistaken what Mellie posted was part of his radio show. I don't think he mentioned Palin either but that doesn't mean she's not going to be there. Sorry you feel the need to have all t's crossed and i's dotted. I'm doing my best to help you out with your confusion.

Ya know it really baffles me the way the left attacks the right everytime they do things for charity. I remember how Hannity got attacked and investigated about his Freedom Concerts and where the money was going. Maybe we should investigate and try to disparage the lefts good causes......ummmmmm.... after we find some.
Don't you think our troops deserve our undivided attention while at war?

He said "I'm". I know you are talking about everyone should strive to have honor. I agree. I am talking about Beck's placing himself in the same category.

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

It's ironic to me that he chose the Memorial to the President who presided over the most divided time in our history. I'm not attacking his charity. I don't believe that it will be non-partisan and non-political.
