Who Is Going to Restoring Honor 8/28?

Figured there may be a few from timebomb going.

My family is looking forward to it!

Anyone else?

(Note: I've never done a poll before and did the best I could, apologies if your choice is not represented).

I had firmly decided we would not be going until just over a week ago.

I cannot explain what changed my mind, but when I did it all fell into place for us.

We will not even be staying overnight, and we're flying.

We found roundtrip tickets for less than $190 per person.

There's just no way we could do the charter bus as the travel time would not fit our work/school schedules.

I cannot tell you how excited we are as a family to go, despite my original security concerns.

Not currently able to afford this kind of trip. Not an avid follower of Glen Beck, even tho I do like him and find him entertaining. As far as security goes, I would not feel any more at risk than if I had to travel to DC for any other event. I do think this is being hyped up a bit for effect and TPTB would love to intimidate possible attendees and keep them at home.

All these things are "bread and circuses" for the peons, i.e. you. Waste of time and money. TPTB have to keep the herd entertained, so they control both sides of the coin. Nobody with any sense really believes that people like Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, and all those on the other side would be allowed to continue unless they were useful tools, do they? All of it is propaganda, mind control, etc. Read the literature, be informed. But always keep in mind that God is in control of it all and His plan will be completed in the end.

As long as we believe that 'all is lost' ALL will be lost.
Yes.... TPTB have a lot of power but when I stand in the midst of my sheep and they get an idea in their heads EVEN though I am their PTB they carry through with their action.
Yes....there is a boatload of "bread and circuses" crafted to keep things under control because they understand how quickly the tide could turn.

But there are 300 million people in this country....and therein is our strength. We must believe in ourselves as a people...as a country.

Quisling...I am not taking you to task here....because I totally feel your frustration...it too is my frustration.
And if our Congress people totally ignore the grass roots movements in this country it will be the opening to sweep the floor.
Look at it this way.
Do any of us know individuals in our respective states that we TRUST enough to send to Congress?
If we do not know anyone these grass roots movements will help us find them.
Can't come to this event right now but you are in my prayers. :D

I'm not frustrated at all. That is just plain reality. I've studied it for 40 years, and even been "on the inside" to a limited extent on occasion. Someone once said, very wisely imo, if oversimplified in many respects, that God gives the people the leader that their hearts truly desires. We, we got a buch of them. There is not political solution. There is no military solution. If you really want a true solution, get down on your knees and repent before God. There is no other solution.

Go away. If everybody listened to you nothing would ever get done.

Bread and Circuses

There is certainly never any shortage of "bread and circuses," but that does not mean we should simply give up or become disengaged. Loved Dio's comment about the post number. One must maintain a sense of humor. I was only loosely aware of this event and will not be in a position to attend. However, I think it is wonderful that such an event can still be held. For how much longer remains to be seen. In a general sense I think Glenn Beck is an honest and concerned citizen. I do find some of his dramatics to be unnecessary and off putting at times, but I guess we live in a world that expects to be entertained while being informed. For all who can attend I pray that it proves to be an educational and enlightening forum. By the way, I also enjoyed the survey questions. Again, keep a healthy sense of humor.

seems appropriate to me that Lincoln said "To sin by silence makes cowards of men" and this will be held at his monmument. Quisling, do as your heart leads, but as for me, I will always try to make a difference! And I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!

I plan on being there. However, I might be mid-move out of state.

"All it takes for evil to succeed, is for good men to do nothing."

Not sure who said that, but it is appropriate at this time.

Again I totally agree with you.
I too studied all of my adult life. I have been politically involved and became convinced that my efforts were largely wasted...the time was not right.
But I will not give up...I will never give up.

This country was founded by some of my ancestors and I will not dishonor their efforts or memory by turning my back on their sacrifices.

So I became non-partisan, I only speak up when the time is right so my effort is not wasted and I wait and pray.

seems appropriate to me that Lincoln said "To sin by silence makes cowards of men" and this will be held at his monmument. Quisling, do as your heart leads, but as for me, I will always try to make a difference! And I WILL NOT BE SILENCED!

Eyes WIDE Open
We've seen the cost of complacence, he's sitting in the Oval Office laughing his scrawny ass off at these conservative demonstrations. He's got over 2 years left to complete his agenda of dismantling what was once the United States that most of us remember from our childhood.

The trouble is most conservatives are nice people. They think that the violent demonstrations that the lefties put on are just a bunch of whack jobs who the government puts up with. They put up with them because they can't control them.

Until the conservatives get truly pissed off and start this little revolution that we all keep hearing and wanting to take place, we're destined to sit at home, watch TV, and check our preps while the rest of the world collapses.

If you can't go to this event, then help somebody go! Support the organizations who are sponsoring it. Talk, Talk, Talk, to all you know about what the latest attack that o is doing to the country.

He and liberal lefties are the enemy. If some here think that kneeling down and praying will help then kneel down and pray. Everything helps.

But to ONLY pray and do nothing else I think is a cop-out. That's what got us into this situation of the far left getting complete control.

I'm going to check on the price of tickets. I'd really love to be there.

Good job on the poll!

I have bolded the lines that impressed me the most out of your tremendous statement. The bread and circuses sure isn't the patriots, it's the ENTITLEMENTS. Review the history of bread and circuses in the Roman Empire. It was not those who loved the Republic that were captivated by it, it was those who continually had their hands out for the freebies.

Well said, deb.

You are correct Quisling, and you do know the world MUST be as it is meant to be. We are but watchers in the stream of time, let it be for now.

Isn't it always was a bit funny?

If someone is a total unknown on the web, he's the real deal.

If someone is successful and get's on TV, the radio, or a podcast that starts making money, their suddenly shrills, traitors, sell-outs, and phonies.

I have no doubt as to Who is in control. But, your attitude is one of those that got us into this mess.

I can't make a difference.
It doesn't matter what I do.
All of it is planned out and there is nothing to be done.

It will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

He gave us a will. He gave us a choice. It is up to each and every one of us to make a difference, in whatever way we can.

I'll be the last person to tell someone how to live their life. But, I'd also be the last person to say that I think you are correct.

* Winter is Coming *
What I know about 8/28 Restoring Honor:

    • The biggest cost of this event is security
    • The security is being provided by the same people who provide personal security for Glenn Beck
    • Capital Police will also be part of the security detail
    • Apparently secret service are also participating in security
    • Charity auctions have been going on for several months now to secure funds for this event
    • You would be surprised at the people who've donated to this auction
    • There are many backers/supporters of this event that Glenn will not publicly name at this time to prevent them being attacked/smeared, but we will know at this event who they are
    • NO signs are to be taken/waved at this event
    • It is not a political event, but about RESTORING HONOR
    • Military hero's will be honored at the beginning of this event
    • The gal that sings "I am America" will be there (GREAT song/video)
    • The artist who painted the pic in my sig had donated a lot of prints of this piece to be auctioned to help pay for 8/28
    • He died a week before he was to sign these donated prints
    • I heard Glenn break down at the end of one radio show when he was given a note of support from the head of an organization....he was blown away, but will not "out" them to protect them from attack (I'm sure we'll know on 8/28)
That's all I can think of off the top of my head for now; I am posting this off of memory, and am pretty sure it is accurate.

I want to thank those of you who have given me kudos for posting this poll.
Part of me really didn't want to as I've seen just how controversial Glenn Beck has become, and I didn't know what kind of reception I'd have here.

The last thing I wanna do is feel like I have to walk around on egg shells at home, and tb2k is my home, ya know?

Another event that will be worthy to support.

http://freedomactionconference.com/

An excerpt from the above link:

Freedom Action Conference
Early Bird Registration is Extended Through July 30th!

Dolce Hotels and Resorts
301 West Dekalb Pike, King Of Prussia, PA 19406
The Forces of Freedom Return to Valley Forge!

Dear Freedom Activist:

In the winter of 1777, George Washington’s tired, starving, defeated army escaped to Valley Forge, Pennsylvania to regroup and train for the fight ahead.

On August 12, 13, 14, 2010, the new forces of freedom will return to Valley Forge to meet, network, learn, train and prepare to stand against the growing American government threat that is destroying our economy, our currency, our free enterprise system and our ability to be free in our personal lives.

How to fight back! The 10th Amendment movement is catching fire as states begin to demand their sovereignty from the tyranny of the Federal government; Sheriff Richard Mack is teaching local sheriffs that they have the power to say no to federal agents; local communities are learning how to expel international organizations like ICLEI that are enforcing top-down unelected control from the UN’s agenda 21 blueprint; a new approach to federal and state intrusion called “Coordination” is being used to regain local control. All of these processes lead to diminishing the power of the Federal Government over our lives – and all are based on local power of the people – just like the Constitution intends.

There’s one place where Americans can learn about all of these efforts. There’s one place where Americans can start the process to diminish the growing tyranny of government – the Freedom Action National Conference.

Join us on the hallowed ground of Valley Forge, and begin the drive to Take America Back!

Larry Pratt, Executive Director, Gun owners of America, “No feds beyond this point,” how gun rights are a major part of the Tenth Amendment Movement.

Scott Tips, President, National Health Federation, fighting Codex Alimentarius and protecting our rights to natural supplements and cures.

And no, I'm not a real fan of Beck personally...nor Palin for that matter....but I truly appreciate the tone and theme of this event.

There is an EVIL darkness moving across America and I intend to shine my LIGHT in the midst of that Darkness in Washington DC on 8-28 :D

I've been to Tea Party events before and have always come away with a sense of awe and thanksgiving that there are still people out there that love and honor America.

And no, this is not a Tea Party thing, but I expect the same kind of folks to attend. :usfl:

If someone is hurt it would be a shame, but as for me and my house, we will stand and be counted. I did not shirk from what I believe is a duty of every citizen when I served voluntarily in our military, nor will I shirk the duty of standing and being counted now.

For those who think glenn is a "sellout" or whatever..fine...what have YOU ever done to show the country the traitors President Obama has hung out with in the past (and now)??? What have YOU done to warn the entire country of our economic disaster yet unfolding?

As far as I'm concerned, Glenn Beck is a Patriot. Eventually he will be brought down, or We the People will gain some freedom back...either way, I've listened to him for years and believe he is doing what he can for the country.

So, all the "internet commandos" can bitch and whine about everyone who does anything being a sellout or traitor or whatever...just because they disagree. Fine. I'll do what I've allways done and thats to actually DO something rather than sit on my kester and moan about everything. If you don't like where the R's are going, join and work to fix it. Or be a L. Or try and fix the D's. But sitting on yer tail and bitching aint gonna do anything.

and feel free to keep praying...maybe God will give those of us who actually DO stuff the energy to keep up the fight for all those lazy worthless "citizens" who just run at the mouth, er, keys.
