Bob’s Musings: Can I Have An AMEN!

-In light of the things Glenn Beck said at the Restoring Honor Rally and the day before to the Freedom Works Conference and the reaction of the crowds, I wonder if we are not witnessing another one of those uniquely American moments in history whereby a great religious/spiritual reawakening is beginning, one that will sweep the country and effect our culture and politics for a least a generation? 

Bob's Muse

Each century has had one since the 18th.

-While I am not a big fan of the Evangelical/Revivalist way of speechifying [I was brought up Roman Catholic and believe in getting there less demonstrably through, say, quiet discussions with a priest over cigars and whiskey], I must say that I am very, very impressed and delighted to see it happening [BTW: As a Minister in The Universal Life Church, I can tell you that I have been to the moun-tain].

-Speaking of the Rally, here are some eyewitness accounts and commentary that are well-worth reading…

=Smitty filed a report from the Rally and an after-report.

=Over At The Point Of A Gun, Dave C was there and did the same here and here.

=Admiral William Teach of The Pirate’s Cove, here and here.

=Over at The Sundries Shack, Jimmie Bise has published a damn fine aggregation of folk’s accounts and offers some fine commentary.

=Though not at the Rally nor at Al Sharpton’s pale imitation race huckster gathering, Stacy filed some good city desk reports here, here, and here.  A highlight from one of them:

…Sharpton’s crowd wanted a confrontation, and the Restoring Honor participants just smiled, probably thinking to themselves: “We’ve got Sarah Palin and 300,000 people. Who do you have? Al Sharpton, SEIU and a bunch of freaking Code Pink losers? Nov. 2 is just nine weeks away. Have a nice day.”

Beautiful.

=DaTechguy has some analysis-from-afar, here and here.
