Ahhhh; the counter to the Pride in America, Restore Honor Glenn Beck Rally in Wash. D.C. The people who support the President's agenda out in full force aching to bring the change to this country that Obama envisions. Watch this short 1 1/2 minute video and see some of your fellow Americans (?)

Thanks, Richie. Ya just gotta love them libs.

The video was made by Americans for Prosperity, an astroturf front group started by oil billionaire David Koch and Richard Fink (a member of the board of directors of Koch Industries). AFP works together with the Koch family’s other conservative foundations and think tanks to disrupt Barack Obama's presidency. According to an article in the August 30, 2010 issue of The New Yorker, the Kochs (two brothers who are both among the several richest people in the country) are known for "creating slippery organizations with generic-sounding names," that "make it difficult to ascertain the extent of their influence in Washington." The Kochs have "invested" many millions of dollars in this election cycle to try to bring about results that will benefit them and their company.

Thus, the makers of this video have no reason to be objective. I was at the rally Saturday and, of the tens of thousands of attendees, saw perhaps 30 - 50 people who seemed to be connected with or promoting socialism or communism. And they were on the sidelines passing out literature, definitely not part of any of the official presentations I saw or heard.

Most of the attendees were everyday patriotic Americans out to support, jobs, a better education for our children and grandchildren, and the kind of "justice for all" we affirm every time we say the Pledge of Allegiance.

Thanks for providing "the rest of the story" by someone who was there.
Koch et al are fast becoming propagandists in their own rite (or 'right' if you prefer).

You are most welcome .
There's only so deep (shallow) you can go news-wise with Fox and The Daily Sun .

And with the utmost respect for our beloved TV bubblemates, if we stay in the know, we'll enjoy greater health and keep the bridge salesmen away!

The only problem I have with your post is that you found it necessary to stop your critique with Fox and The Daily Sun. You seem to be somewhat "up" on what is going on in the world, but that left me sort of cold.

If you are implying that MSNBC or CNN for example are funneling items to us with no spin, you are not in anyway paying attention.

I find your post which is attempting to "mock" the video just as, if not more, extreme !!!

I have posted on here for years and always wanted to post some sources of what is called "news" but realize it is a two sided coin. YOU obviously have not realized that fact !!!

C'mon, Seriously!!! 30 or 40 people? Did you look at the people? There are hundreds in view in these marches, not just handing out literature as you say, but waving communist and socialist flags and chanting and marching, at least that you can see. That means to me that there are no doubt thousands in this video alone. Get real and own up to you own party's supporters. You can't spin me. This is the base of Obama's support and the direction that is envisioned by them. You are either naive of duplicitous if you claim otherwise. I know, I know; you will now say this is a personal attack. Well I think your dismissal of what you can see with your own eyes is a personal attack on my intelligence.

The comment about Fox and our local paper was sufficient to show me the NAIVETY of the posts, and the manifestation of party control !!!!

Think I'll wait for the Jon Stewart/Stephen Colbert rally on Oct. 30th.

Thanks L & L for the eyewitness account.

The "justice for all" comes after the pledge of allegiance to the Flag that represents the "Republic" for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all. Don't forget the important parts that enable Justice for all.

You can't pick and choose. Hope it isn't too deep to understand the meaning of Republic.

I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic for which it stands:
one Nation under God, indivisible,
With Liberty and Justice for all.

If you are worried about some socialists shouldn't we be worried about this:

How can a socialist be proud? By it's very nature socialism is mediocre.

Just some thoughts.

Oh, I most certainly pick and choose.

When I recite the pledge, I leave out "under god". It was added in 1954 in reaction to the "red menace" and "godless communists" clarion calls of the day.

To be honest, I never thought about it this way but - when people start talking nostagically about going back to America's glory days, they generall seem to mean the 1950s. Interesting how the 'glory days' start ending once "under god" is added to the pledge.

For the record, I believe that religion's place is in the home, not the House or Senate.

Let's see; a huge political and social movement to change the fabric of our lives and render the Constitution of the US as obsolete, and that is apparently the direction for the country favored by the current resident of the White House, vs. the strange actions of a man running for one of the many Congressional seats this November?

Oh yeah!!, I see the correlation. NOT!!!!

what do you have against God being mentioned in the Pledge of Allegiance? After all, it was written by a Baptist Minister.
