Last weekend, I had the privilege of attending the “Restoring Honor” Rally in Washington D.C. While I’m proud to be an American everyday, I was especially proud on that day. The feeling I had being amongst so many people that love and appreciate the blessings of liberty was at times overwhelming. The purpose of the event was simple. We wanted to express our love for our nation and dedicate ourselves to practicing the values that has made it so strong. Unfortunately, this simple lesson appears to be impossible for liberals and the media to comprehend.
The media coverage and the liberal spin stopped short of calling the event a Ku Klux Klan rally, attended by racist tea partiers whose sole purpose is to suppress minorities, destroy the environment and worship big business. To no surprise, all the media coverage reflected this tired narrative. As usual with the media, they got it all wrong.
There’s no denying that the majority of the attendees were white, so is the majority of America. Blacks were free to attend and many of us did but for some reason the media chose not to show us. There is no surprise that the liberals once again have terribly flawed logic. Consider this. I went to a predominantly black college. Whites are free to go to school there. Despite being heavily recruited in many cases, many still choose to get their educations elsewhere. Many black colleges offer scholarships specifically for white students. Does this make black colleges racist for not having more white students? The point is that the lack of attendance isn’t the same as exclusion.
So, let me make sure I understand Beck. He claims that God told him to pick this date. So, this same God couldn’t have told him the significance of this date to the civil rights community? Beck was asked by many in the Black community to move the date of his event in deference to our feelings about this date. He refused. But, he wants the Muslims in New York to move the location of their future mosque in deference to him and others who think the location is too close to ground zero. Hmmm, how do you spell hypocrisy? I looked it up in the dictionary and found a picture of Glen Beck!
He wants conservatives to reclaim the civil rights movement. Well, I can’t find any history of Beck being involved in civil rights—either historically, or recently. This is the same person that called a sitting president “a racist…with a deep seated hatred of white people.” The day after his event, he gave a simi-apology for making that statement. But one would have thought if he really was regretful of what he said, he would have used the national stage he had during his event to make the apology. But maybe he didn’t want his white friends in attendance to see him apologize in front of a national audience. Afterall, we wouldn’t want people to call him an “apologist” for America like they say about President Obama.
Remember, you can’t have unity without “u & i.” But everything about Beck does just the opposite. Am I the only Black who felt somewhat uncomfortable during the “Black” portion of the program? This was near the end of the event; before Beck’s self indulgent, meandering, narcissistic, rambling, tortuous speech.

The new book The Last of the Imperious Rich: Lehman Brothers, 1844-2008, by Financial Times journalist Peter Chapman, gives a fairly cursory treatment to the once-great financial institution’s pathetic demise, with CEO Dick Fuld desperately phoning around Wall Street and Washington for a bailout that never came. Lehman Brothers’ bankruptcy — initially touted as free-market tough love — soon raised the prospect of banks collapsing like dominoes and thus ushered in an era of massive bailouts.
Chapman’s book takes a much longer view, tracing the bank’s history from its humble origins (it began as immigrant Henry Lehman’s peddling business in the mid-19th-century South) to soaring heights of wealth and power for much of the 20th century, and subsequently through a decline over several decades that culminated in the 2008 collapse.

Is America only for white people? The question stuck in my mind following yet another e-mail exchange with a friend of mine, regarding my conservatism. For this particular gentleman, being black in America is at odds with conservatism.
Jack Kemp was everything the Republican Party should be but isn’t.
Genuinely inclusive; knowledgeable about various groups contributions to America and unafraid to denounce discrimination and shortsightedness on his side of the aisle.
Where is THAT kind of Republican and conservative after the Obama victory? We’d be hard pressed to envision Kemp leading the ” Birther ” brigade or demonizing Muslims as campaign policy.
I’ve met a few Kemp-esque conservatives at the grassroots level but nationally they often resemble Pat Buchannan’s best bromides. The Inclusive Right does exist but isn’t in high rotation on FOX NEWS or other outlets controlled by what I term the Imperial Right.
The Inclusive Right has to be as loud, though not as crass, as its opposition within the GOP.
