A More God-Centered Country

The “Honor Rally” Saturday was about Christian values.  The theme was a more God-centered country. The theme struck a chord with Americans who are more religious in nature.  The rally drew an estimated 400,000 or more people.

The “Honor Rally” was an idea of Glenn Beck.  The socialist left hates him and have attacked him and conservative Christians as racists.  This rally though showed young, old, black, white all united.  The rally was designed to honor people based on the content of their character and not the color of their skin, the very idea Dr. King spoke of in his speech at the Memorial almost half a century ago.

Conservative black leaders who participated in the rally at the Lincoln Memorial said the event honored the legacy and vision the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., who delivered his “I Have A Dream” speech on the same date and at the same place 47 years ago.

Alveda King, MLK’s neice, said the purpose of the rally was “to focus on honor and on the content of our character, and not the color of our skin,” echoing the words of her uncle’s famous speech of 1963.

 “We’re here to honor Uncle Martin,” she said, surrounded by black clergy and gospel singers on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. King further said that her uncle would have approved of “Restoring Honor,” which was billed by Beck as a non-political gathering to honor America, Americans like King, and the military men and women who have made great sacrifices for the freedoms that U.S. citizens enjoy today.



Tim Johnson, chairman of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, said that the presence of King’s niece and many other black leaders showed that Al Sharpton’s statements about Glenn Beck’s rally were unfounded.

“[Beck] is actually extending the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., which is fantastic,” Kebreau said. “You know, Al Sharpton should be here. This is where he should be. We’re trying to create a unifying effect, and create a unity.  “We would love for him [Sharpton] to be here because we’re honoring Martin Luther King Jr.,” said Kebreau. “We’re honoring Frederick Douglass. We’re honoring the idea of looking at people based on the content of their character, and not the color of their skin."

We applaud all who want to bring conservative Christian values back to America.
