The Restoring Honor rally, headlined by Glenn Beck, was held at the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. The most pessimistic, and ridiculed, attendance estimate comes from CBS, who said 87,000. Most other estimates are considerably higher.
In any case, a bunch of folks, dig?
Now there is much to be said about the rally’s content, and it will surprise no regular reader of this blog that I find a lot of agreement with this crowd. I have never been more concerned for my country, and I’m thoroughly confident Mr. Beck, Mrs. Palin, and their supporters have a lot more of the answers that will genuinely restore America’s greatness than do Mr. Obama and his supporters.
So there’s a post in that, for sure. However, I’m not going to write it. Tens of thousands of bloggers already have, and as I mentioned above, there is no shortage on WmWms of what I think about the current state of things.
Many have also posted about the level of trash left by the Restoring Honor attendees, and I am going to join that chorus, because it ties in with something I discussed previously. Have a look at the Mall, post-rally:
Wow, what a bunch of careless swine! Can you believe that enormous mess they left? But what else would you expect from that slack-jawed drooling bunch of hicks who pray to invisible men in the sky and hate black people, right?
I really enjoyed this little data point, because it reminded me of when I posted about how surprised “everyone” seemed at how well-behaved the Obama inauguration crowd was. Didn’t surprise me at all. By and large, the folks who would cause a scene with base or boorish behavior were happy. It’s no more complicated than that. As then, so now.
Now I’m certainly not saying to my liberal friends that, solely by virtue of their politics, they’re disruptive slobs. I am, however, asserting that a disruptive slob in such an environment is likely to be liberal.
Oh, and I’ll throw a link back to this post in for good measure, in case there’s any nonsense about “poisonous rhetoric” or similar.
How long until November 2? Here we come. Boo!
