Gay Tea Party Activist Bruce Majors: ‘It’s a Full-Time Job Being a Celebrity Racist’

Last week, a D.C. guide for out-of-towners attending the Restoring Honor rally was seized upon by the Left as evidence of Tea Party bigotry because it advised visitors to stick to the touristy parts of town, et cetera. Rachel Maddow got all snarky about it:

Here’s your first ironic denouement: The guy who wrote the Tea [...]

Glenn Beck for President?

It’s not an idea that ever crossed my overwhelmingly white mind, but such a possibility is explored at length by Michael at Jumping in Pools.

After A Brief ‘Reagan Tribute’ On
The Couch, Thoughts Return To
‘Restoring Honor’

by Smitty
First, one should offer some shouts to fellow bloggers:

Sorry to the TD of the Washington Rebel that my phone battery ran out, and we couldn’t get back together. The informal gathering at the Army and Navy Club with Wombat Rampant, which transitioned to the ever-tasty Shelly’s Backroom, and a conversation that we should [...]

Sarah Palin at Restoring Honor Rally

The world’s biggest Facebook page provides full text of her speech at Glenn Beck’s event in Washington, D.C.:
In cities and towns across our country, you’ll find monuments to brave Americans wearing the uniforms of wars from long ago, and look down at their inscriptions, you’ll see that they were so often dedicated by mothers. In [...]

Restoring Honor: Thank You, Warriors

by Smitty
REFLECTING POOL, WASHINGTON, DC–It’s an hour into the Restoring Honor event. What a great undertaking. This is a great exercise in American Exceptionalism. Beck’s religiosity is right out front, but mostly ecumenical. While no mention is made of anyone in office, one wonders if the monitors carry the word ‘Faith’ to [...]

Great Moments In Navigation: ‘Restoring Honor’ Edition

Smitty:
Are you sure this is where the Restoring Honor event was supposed to be?

Skippy:
Well, it’s what I read in a comment on a post somewhere on the DailyKos. . .

Guess it’s time to get moving if we’re to make the Mall.

Event To Build Character Scheduled On Ann. Of Famous Speech On Character Denounced By Those Lacking Character

by Smitty
This blog is looking forward to having a fine, American, a-political time at Glen Beck’s 8/28 event.
From the 8/28 page:
What can I bring?
You can bring small umbrellas, bottled water (plastic bottles only please), bag lunches, snacks (e.g. Stacy’s vanilla pudding), lawn chairs, cameras, blankets, small coolers, backpacks, and flags. Also, we advise that you [...]

Restoring Honor

Location:
At the steps of the Lincoln Memorial

Date:
August 28, 2010

Time:
10a-1p ET

Two months is enough time to get our ducks in a row as far as covering the event goes.
I’m not a regular Beck viewer, so Bluegrass Pundit’s post was news to me. BGP was reacting to Bill Press’s ludicrous assertion [...]

Newsweek Intern Attempts to Describe Hayek’s Road to Serfdom: Massive FAIL

Thanks to Kathy Shaidle for calling attention to this sophomoric effort by Princeton senior Isia Jasiewicz:
On June 8, Beck devoted an entire episode of his talk show on Fox News to The Road to Serfdom, a work of political theory written in the immediate aftermath of World War II by Friedrich von Hayek, an Austrian émigré to [...]

Gold Price Hits Record High

Nothing to worry about:
Gold futures closed at a record high on Thursday, handily surpassing the mark reached just last week as investors grew more concerned about the U.S. economy and its proxy, the stock market.
Gold for August delivery, the most active contract, added $18.20, or 1.5%, to settle at $1,248.70 an ounce on the Comex [...]

Obamanomics: Still Not Working

The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost another 115 points Monday, after losing 324 points on Friday, for a two-day loss of 439 points (4.3%) — and a cumulative loss of 1,389 points (12.4%) since April 26. In short, if your 401(k) is mainly in stocks, you’ve lost about 1/8th of that money in about six weeks. The [...]

Everybody Should Buy Gold, Even If Glenn Beck Gets Paid to Tell You So

Look, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost more than 300 points today, and the DJIA is down more than 1,130 points since closing at 11,205 on April 26. The Greek debt crisis is pulling down the European economy, more than 700 U.S. banks are now on the FDIC “troubled” list, and concern about a “double-dip” recession is becoming mainstream. Now, let’s look [...]
