Alveda King, Niece of Martin Luther King Jr, Speaks at Beck’s “Restoring Honor” Rally on Anniversary of ‘I Have a Dream’ Speech

“I have a dream too” … So said the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr. at the “Restoring Honor” rally.

As the liberal MSM and Al Sharpton condemn Glenn Beck for daring to have his “Restoring Honor” rally of the anniversary of MKK Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech, I wonder how they will respond to this “Restoring Honor” speaker? Alveda King,  the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., spoke today at the “Restoring Honor” rally honoring her uncle on the 47th anniversary of his “I have a Dream”.

This is a must see video … “I too have a dream too, its in my genes.”

“Faith, hope and love are not dead in America …. We still Trust in God!”

This must have driven the liberals and the Al Sharpton brigade to have Alveda King speak at Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally. As American Power stated, the libs heads must have exploded to have such an event occur. It’s kind of hard for ReverendAl and the bias and hateful MSM to claim that the Beck rally to dismiss it with MLK Jr’s niece attending. The following is from ABC News:

On the 47th anniversary of her uncle’s historic “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, politician and activist Alveda King has joined conservative commentator Glenn Beck at the same spot to bring people together in paying tribute to America’s soldiers and “restoring honor” to America.

King, the niece of civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr. and daughter of his brother activist A. D. King, is currently the director of African-American outreach at the pro-life group Priests for Life and has recently stepped into the spotlight after several appearances on Beck’s radio program.

“I am attending this rally to help reclaim America,” she told “Good Morning America’s” Ron Claiborne today from Capitol Hill. “I’m joining Glenn to talk about faith, hope, charity, honor. Those are things that America needs to reclaim. Our children need to remember to love each other how to honor each other, their parents, God and their neighbors. I agree with Glenn on all of those principles. So that’s why I’m here. For me it’s principles over politics.”

Amen sister!

Why the Moonbat Left Progressives Hate the 4th of July, Patriotism Leads to Fascism

Progressives and the LEFT hate the 4th of July and patriotism …

You just can’t make this stuff up and we do not have to when we have the loony LEFT moonbat progressives to quote. Just yesterday we posted about a Rasmussen poll where 63% of American voters considered the 4th of July one of the most important holidays. However, 5% actually considered the birth of our country and the signing of the Declaration of Independence the least important holiday. I always wondered what type of loon would fall into that demographic?

BINGO, we have a winner. That did not take long … enter nut job Matthew Rothschild, the editor of The Progressive magazine. Why am i not surprised? This screw ball actually believes that all patriotism leads to Fascism. Is it any wonder why the LEFT needs to be voted out of office and the sooner the better for the sake of the United States of America.

It’s July 4th, my least favorite holiday.
And I’m not referring to the bugs, or the crowds, or the traffic on the highways.
I’m talking about the mindless patriotic bubble bath we’re all supposed to soak in all weekend long.
Well, not me.
My heart does not beat faster at the strains of the Star Spangled Banner, much less at the sight of F-16s flying overhead to kick off the show.
You see, I don’t believe in patriotism.
You can call me unpatriotic if you’d like, but really I’m anti-patriotic.
I’ve been studying fascism lately, and there is one inescapable fact about it:
Nationalism is the egg that hatches fascism.
And patriotism is but the father of nationalism.

Is it any wonder why this poll might have been the biggest “NO DUH” ever one in the history of polling.

What a misguided nut job. We have been told for years that we cannot question the patriotism of the LEFT. Really, why not … this foolish flake is exactly the reason why patriotism should be questioned. The LEFT has such an ignorant definition of patriotism. These people actually think it means to follow a government without questioning it. Just the opposite, Our Founding Fathers provided the greatest for of patriotism in the history of America and that was to defy a King.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation

July 4, 2010: 63% of Americans Believe 4th of July One of the Most Important Holidays, 5% Say the Least

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA!!!

On this July 4th, 2010 … the 234th birthday of the United States of America, according to a Rasmussen poll, 63% of Americans believe that the 4th of July is among one of the most important holidays. Even though July 4th and Christmas are considered the most important holidays, it is rather shocking that only 6 in 10 Americans consider the holiday that commemoratesthe birth of the very nation they live in is important. Ah folks, with out a July 4th there is no America and “Declaration of Independence”. Some might want to brush up on their American history and the following, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA … Happy Independence Day: July 4, 2010

HAPPY JULY 4, 2010 … Happy Independence Day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMERICA … To the greatest nation, the land of the free and the home of the brave! As you spend your July 4th with family and friends at picnics, get-togethers community or church functions and watch firework displayswhile waiving your American flags with deep feelings of emotional pride … Please remember that so many have sacrificed and continue to do so to keep America free. God bless our troops and God bless our fore fathers who made this country possible.

As Hot Air stated, “On July 4th, 1776, Great Britain’s colonies united not to depose a king but to declare him irrelevant to their land, and to make the clearest declaration in history of the right of a people to self-governance”.

America is not perfect, nor do we claim to be. However, the United States of America is the greatest country that God placed on this good Earth, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

On this July 4th, 2010, our countries 234th birthday, let us not forget of the sacrifices made by so many to make the United States of America independent and free. Because freedom is never free and there is a tremendous cost to remain independent. Our Founding Fathers brought before us a great nation of hard work and sacrifice, it is our duty as citizens to continue that dream.

Never more than since the birth of our great nation has the notion of “WE THE PEOPLE” been more important. For years we have allowed government to usurp their authority and take away our liberties. However, on this 4th of July I would like all to think about this great land and what made it great. America fights a war on terror for a reason. We the People want to protect our borders and our rule of law for a reason. We the People seek life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for a reason.

 It is not government that enables you to do this … it was the unalienable rights endowed by our Creator.

Remember the words of John Adams who said the following regarding the future remembrances of “Independence Day.”

“I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding generations, as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God almighty. It ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other, from this time forward, forever more.”

Signing of the Declaration of Independence July 4, 1776

Please read the Declaration of Independence and understand what our Founding Fathers put forth the birth of the United States of America. There are many today, namely today’s politicians who need to tale a good look at this brilliant document and understand that the United States was not founded on government dependence. In 1776 the colonies fought a war against British control and dominance. We fought a war for independence against taxation without representation. The point of the Revolutionary War was not to trade an over-reaching, egregious English dictatorial rule for one located in Washington, DC.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

The Boston Pops performing the 1812 Overature, a New England 4th of July tradition

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world.

Washington, DC Fireworks as seen from the Iwo Jima Memorial

He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of representation in the legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. (read the est HERE)

The Shot Heard ‘Round the World

Happy Birthday America!!! Remember this July 4th what this day means … A Declaration of Independence was signed. We today as a nation need to ask ourselves, are WE THE PEOPLE independent or dependent.

More Hope & Change You Can Believe In … Obama Blows Off D-Day Anniversary

Priorities, priorities, priorities … mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama.

How is this for more Hope & Change, President Obama ignores the Anniversary of the D-Day invasion and opts for other higher priorities. Instead of honoring the brave men who lost their lives on the beaches during D-Day, Obama instead goes to a gala theatre event. 

On June 6, 1944, the D-Day invasion of Europe took place during World War II as Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy, France. America lost 2,499 of its finest men that day.

Maybe Obama needs a history lesson as to why the world actually is free and who’s blood made it that way. From not attending a wreath laying ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery this past Memorial Day to this … Commander in Chief, eh? From the Gateway Pundit comes the follwong comment that Obama made at the gala on the Anniversary of D-Day …

Here is what Desmond Tutu told the party crowd tonight:

“Security is not something that comes from the barrel of a gun.”

And, he said this on the anniversary of D-Day?
By the way… Isn’t that some version of a Mao quote?

Hey America, how’s that “hopey, changey” stuff working out for you?

To the brave souls who gave there lives on D-Day, God Bless you and your families for making the ultimate sacrifice for not only the freedom of America, but the world.
