Glenn Beck's March (of White People) on Washington – Restoring Honor…Or Segregation?

From watching Beck’s show regularly, I think they want some kind of return to the America of the Founders — which happened to be a time when America was mostly an agrarian society on the move (i.e. widespread poverty plagued with pirates on the high seas plus legalized indentured servitude – slavery for white people), women couldn’t vote nor hold elected office (i.e. completely dependent on their husbands’ will – slavery for white women) and slavery was legal (i.e. black and Indian slaves could more or less be beaten, raped, murdered or worked to death with impunity). Ah…such a simple, glorious, value-packed bygone era. Why can’t we bring it back?

The author of this piece hit the nail on its head in describing what Beck, Palin, republicans-teabaggers want.

Don’t be fooled. Beck’s March of White People on Washington aka “Restoring Segregation” is an undercover Klan rally but instead of hoods, they wear flags. I’m ok with it though. You and I here at JJP have flushed them out for the hate-mongering, fear-triggered racists that they are and within Beck’s apparent victory lies the seeds of defeat — his real discomfort, mission and goals have been driven so far underground and are so opaque due to their unpopularity and injustice that soon, we won’t have to worry much about what Beck’s white people have to say about anything at all…

I was there and it sure looked like a meeting of the Klan to me!
