The Restoring Honor rally in Washington"As you have now heard 1,279 times, Glen Beck's 'Restoring Honor' rally at the Lincoln Memorial was held on the 47th anniversary of Dr. King's speech. ... Glenn Beck created a non-political (he asked that no one bring protest signs and almost no one did); pro-American, and pro-religious event. ... The attempt by the Left to paint the event as racist was pretty seriously undermined by the appearance and speech by the niece of Martin Luther King, Alveda King, a noted Black conservative activist.... Then came the claims that Beck's call for a religious renaissance in the United States was somehow anti-Constitutional. The First Amendment, as you well know, does not forbid the mention of God in American life -- even official American life. In fact, it appears to say just the opposite: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof (emphasis added).' Our Declaration of Independence ends with these words: 'And for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.' Renewing our 'reliance on the protection of Divine Providence' doesn't seem like such a bad idea, even after 234 years." --political analyst Rich Galen
