Glenn Beck and The Christian Right

“Something beyond imagination is happening. America today begins to turn back to God.”        Glenn Beck

 

    That was FoxNews Channel's own pundit Glenn Beck while he was speaking at a rally up in Washington,D.C. on this past Saturday in which 10,000’s of thousands (100’s if you ask Beck) of people attended.  Just what you and I need, another Republican rally, which is exactly what this event was.

   It was not to long ago that the Republican diehards where out touting about how godly they were and that the GOP would be turning America back towards God and that this country would once again become a great nation.

   The Republicans might have actually pulled it off if it wasn’t for all of that greed,graft,and criminal activity that they perpetrated getting in the way of things.

    Of course, the Obama administration has not been all that great either. They haven’t gotten to the corruption and crime part yet. Not that we know of yet. Give it time, the game isn’t over.

   The Democrats cannot seem to get anything accomplished in the Senate or the House for that matter. Nobody likes anyone else's idea’s because they didn’t think of it. Then of course, those darned Republicans keep sticking nails in any idea from the Liberal side of the isle. Lest you forget, there are many Republican politicians whose sole purpose is to see to it that President Obama goes down hard with as many other Democrats as possible.

   The Republicans are winning this war against you and I. Mr. Beck does his best to disparage the President at every chance that he gets.

    Sara Palin also got her shot at running her mouth at this gathering.

    When Sarah Palin, the Republican populist and former vice presidential candidate, launches into her speech, the crowd chants “USA, USA, USA.” “We must restore America and restore her honor,” demands Palin. She addresses the people as “patriots.” In recent months, Palin has emerged as the leader of the “tea party” movement and is mentioned as a possible 2012 presidential candidate. But she says she is speaking in front of the Lincoln Memorial not as a politician, but rather as the mother of a soldier. For this, too, there is warm applause.

   This is the stuff that the GOP has always been great at and I see no reason for that group to fail this time around either.

   The Dems are in deep shit and they are going down a little bit deeper if they do not get it together.

   Then there is also the influence of the Tea Party movement, another group supporting the Republicans. Easy to do since they are mostly GOPer’s in the first place.

Windows Live Writer Beta 2011…

    … is on my list of blogging software as a must have.

    Over the past few days I’ve been having problems with getting “Live writer” to work properly on my computer. I did uninstall and reinstall it at least 5 times. After the last take out, the

Windows Live Essentials installer kept telling me that I already had “Live writer” installed, which was not correct. Hell! I deleted all of the files that had anything to do with the program and still I could not install another one.

   At my wits end, I went  and Goggled the “Live Essentials'” and I was led to the newer 2011 version. Got a new “live writer” and it looks pretty darned sleek!

    I posted this in order to see how it works.
