PARENTING FREEDOM

carol | August 30, 2010

My husband, two oldest sons, and I watched Glenn Beck’s Kennedy Center service on Friday evening, as well as the Restoring Honor rally on Saturday. Both events were very encouraging and inspiring. We loved hearing Dave Roever at the Kennedy Center. My husband and I heard him speak on abstinence when we were teenagers. I knew Chuck Norris would be speaking (homeschooling parent). He was so nervous.  It was nice to see video of Glenn Beck’s wife, Tania, on his website. Sarah Palin (mom of soldier) was awesome at the Restoring Honor rally. I loved hearing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, Dr. Alveda King speak at the rally. She is a strong, brave, pro-life advocate. I appreciated the prayers at the Kennedy Center and the singing at the Lincoln Memorial – both things they were warned about. The bagpipes playing Amazing Grace was touching. It was encouraging to see all the people of different faiths and backgrounds come together.

“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Watch Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor (3 hours)
http://www.therightscoop.com/watch-glenn-becks-restoring-honor

You can’t tell from the aerial photos, but people were standing under all those trees, right around the tree trunks. I will update the crowd estimate when Glenn gets the final numbers, but the number is most likely 650,000 people. Wow. (They only had a permit for 300,000, so I hope they don’t have to pay more if they admit there were more people.)

[This must have been exciting:] Geese Fly By Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally

Edited to add this note and two more geese videos:
I LOVED that they said that it was a military flyover (planned by the King of Kings). Before the event, Glenn asked all around for some kind of military representation (cannons, etc.), but everyone refused, so that is why he got the boyscout (which was better anyway.) (Note the kids’ conversation in the second video below.)

“Now for some ‘compare & contrast’ as far as cleanliness goes. Here’s the National Mall, post Restoring Honor rally, where hundreds of thousands of anti-environment, non-green, polluting right wingers had been gathered:”

“And here’s the Mall after Obama’s inauguration — the ironic aftermath of a party consisting of a million environmentally conscious progressives who voted in 2008 in part for a cleaner planet in order to fight climate change:”

Charts of the Day: Employment

“The financial collapse also battered our northern neighbor, Canada, although not quite to the same extent it did us. (Canada has more conservative banking and lending policies, which shielded them from the worst of the problems.) Instead of using a blizzard of government spending to correct a downturn in unemployment, Canada tightened its belt and rode it out.”

Levi Johnston Apologizes to Palin Family for ‘Youthful Indiscretion’

“Last year, after Bristol and I broke up, I was unhappy and a little angry. Unfortunately, against my better judgment, I publicly said things about the Palins that were not completely true,” he tells PEOPLE exclusively. “I have already privately apologized to Todd and Sarah. Since my statements were public, I owe it to the Palins to publicly apologize.”

I wonder if he is getting big bucks to get back in the good graces of the Palin family in order to give the media dirt.

S.E. Cupp: Liberal Media Can’t Deal with ‘Pretty, Conservative Women’
http://newsmax.com/Headline/cupp-conservatives-media-women/2010/04/16/id/356010

“‘Conservatism rightly resists the changing tide, the changing social mores. The whole idea of conservatism is to preserve what we think is good. So these flag bearers like Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, women no less, I think are really throwing mud in the eye of the liberals who would rather see them locked up in some museum..’”

“‘CNN is pretty bad. The New York Times is pretty bad only because of the clout and influence that paper has. You would expect them to be a bit more responsible. MSNBC is terrible. Some of the talking heads there like Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews — these guys really have it out for Christianity…’”

“Cupp has said Barack Obama has an ‘affinity for radical Marxist theology.’ Asked to elaborate, she says: ‘If you look at some of his own testimony about his religious education, whether in his book or his speeches, he discusses at length his decision to follow black liberation theology, the kind of Christianity espoused by Reverend [Jeremiah] Wright and a number of other well-known pastors around the country.’”

“‘Obama describes it as not particularly a Christ-driven move on his part but as sort of a recognition of the black social causes of the time. That’s what really drove him into Christianity. When you actually read about it, it’s far more radical than the Pentecostalism of Sarah Palin or the Baptism of a Mike Huckabee. Yet those folks are constantly painted by the liberal media as being fanatical and fringe.’”

“‘If anyone bothered to look at Obama’s black liberation theology, they would have no choice but to recognize that it’s an incredibly radical — and I would even say extreme — version of Christianity.’”

I was disappointed when I heard that Bill Gates pledged to donate $10 Billion of vaccinations, but I hadn’t realized he was of the same “population reduction mentality” as people like Ted Turner. Yikes.

Bill Gates talks about ‘vaccines to reduce population’
http://www.financialsense.com/editorials/engdahl/2010/0304.html

Quote from Bill Gates: ”‘First we got population. The world today has 6.8 billion people. That’s headed up to about 9 billion. Now if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent…’”

From the article:

“Some organizations have suggested that the true aim of the vaccinations is to make people sicker and even more susceptible to disease and premature death.”

“In the aftermath of the most recent unnecessary Pandemic declaration of a global H1N1 swine flu emergency, industrial countries were left sitting on hundreds of millions of doses of untested vaccines. They decided to get rid of the embarrassing leftover drugs by handing them over to the WHO which in turn plans to dump them for free on select poor countries. France has given 91 million of the 94 million doses the Sarkozy government bought from the pharma giants; Britain gave 55 million of its 60 million doses. The story for Germany and Norway is similar…”

“A new form of eugenics?”

“The idea of using vaccines to covertly reduce births in the Third World is also not new…”
