    no its just Canada invading...

    I hope the geese brought their papers, or else they'll be asked to go home again.

    The Beck Rally was a bible-thumping, back-to-God rally. Plain & Simple. It was not political. Beck is a Mormon. He believes, first & foremost, that God is the answer to all of the nation's problems.
    I really screwed that up. I really Schruted it.

    And now comes word that he's holding an event in Anchorage on 9/11 where both he and Palin will speak. I'm sure he didn't realize the significance of that date either...
    And I listen for the voice inside my head... nothing. I'll do this one myself.

    Similar to Earth Day being held on Lenin's birthday... but they're environmentalists not communists, right?

    Well, I laughed... at the absurdity of the statement.

    Earth Day is April 22 for a reason. To celebrate the great Lenin's birthday. Yay Earth!

    It also happens to be the birthday of one of the Earth Day founders. And Jack Nicholson (maybe they just liked On The Waterfront). Or 90210, since it's also Aaron Spelling's birthday. It's also Peter Frampton's birthday.

    OH MY GOD! THEY'RE NOT ENVIRONMENTALISTS, THEY'RE GUITARISTS! RUN FOR THE HILLS!

    how is telling everyone that "today america turns back to god" and professing that god is the answer to all of the nation's problems NOT political????? i mean, after all, we were founded on maintaining a separation between church and state, hence god should have no bearing on our laws or policies...

    You're the one who tried to say Beck doesn't realize the importance of 9/11.

    I don't think he was talking about laws & policies, but about God. It was a religious rally, not political. That's why he didn't want signs.

    he said we are taking the country back to god. how is that not political? he had sarah palin speak, how is that not political? it was in the national mall in the capital of this country, how is that not political? he made up a story that he held a significant historical document from george washington, so how was that not political? he had a religious revival on the steps of the lincoln memorial, how is that not political? he held a rally for the troops and their children, and these wars are very unpopular, so how is taking a side on that situation not political? it was sponsored by fox news, and again, how is that not political? i can do this all day if you like...

    I already said it, but "he wasn't talking about politics." That's how it wasn't political. He was talking about God & probably the Bible. He's a religious person so I'm sure that God has a lot to do with his every day life. He probably fears for the people of this country, just like most church-going people. That doesn't make it political. I'm sure you know that most churchy-type people worry about other peoples souls or those of their family & friends. Billy Graham probably talks about his country, too, when he has his religious events.

    ...
    Instead of the Glenn Beckesque connection between Earth Day and Communist take over of the children... let's put some facts in the mix:
    "[Advertisment Executive, Julian] Koenig was on Senator Gaylord Nelson's 1969 committee that established Earth Day on April 22. The date was Koenig's own birthday and "Earth Day" rhymed with "birthday." "
    ref. http://finance.kosmix.com/topic/Julian_Koenig
    ...
    There is more of a link to 'Mad Men' than Communism... wait... if there is a link between Earth Day and 'Mad Men'... there is also a link between 'Mad Men' and Communism... that would mean there is a link between Advertisment and Communism... or Consumerism and Communism... or Capitalism and Communism.
    Oh my gosh... Capitalists are really COMMUNISTS!!!

    newsflash...glenn beck does not care about you...he is a shameless self promoter who's schtick is to act like he does as he laughs (or cries) all the way to the bank...and it is inexcusable that he is using religion to earn his millions while his sheep fall for it....

    How about churchy-type people get their own lives in order... before going around trying to fix everybody else's? When their lives are in perfect order... they can come save my wretched soul.
