The Southern California Young Communist League YCL, a branch of the Communist Party USA CPUSA, announced on its website that it’s launching a “National Red School-Bus Tour.” The YCL calls each stop on the tour “weekend long schools” for “young activists.” So what exactly is this tour all about?

(As a kid I learned that Communism was bad.  Supporters of these hateful dictatorships were responsible for the worst mass murders in all of modern history, Mao, Che, Stalin ad nauseum.  So what is different now? WHy the celebration? Parents you need to keep an eye out for the sake of your children.)

I knew it was coming. Despite Mr. Glenn Beck’s pleas that all denominations find a way to energize their  congregations and work hard to restore faith with the  end result being the restoration of our history and our country, the religious fanatics cannot look beyond their own dogma. Beck himself said on his radio show and his TV show that he did not care what people may or may not think of the precepts of his Mormon faith.  Why then do we have religious damning Glenn for his views and his efforts toward bringing us together to save our country.

I have been a Presbyterian, a Baptist, an agnostic, and finally a Catholic. I am happy with my faith and my choice. I have Mormon friends, Baptists friends, friends that have no religion. The things that bring us together are our friendship and tolerance of one another.

When I am condemned or ridiculed because of my beliefs, I experience religious intolerance. It angers and frustrates me. This country of ours was built from the ground up by the prayers of many denominations none of whom might accept the self righteous of today yet the fires of intolerance are yet fueled by those that cannot accept or tolerate any belief but their own when our community requires cohesion.

There is no religious benefit to publicly shame another because of what he or she believes.  Jesus walked among the least of us, the poor, the poor in spirit.  Those of you intent on making sure you put the Mormon in his place should consider re-evaluating your position.

Mr Beck never asked that you become a Mormon. He never placed himself in the role of prophet or savior. Mr Beck is an American patriot. He asks that you personally evaluate whether your personal faith is strong enough to accept the challenge of restoring our country because those who would transform our country have been busy removing God and faith from the public discourse.  That’s what you need to get focused on. I could care less what you think about Mormonism and only what you can do with your congregation toward restoring honor and our country.  That is a challenge all faiths can pray for and work toward.

“ATLANTA, Aug. 20 /Christian Newswire/ — Dr. Alveda King, Director of African American Outreach for Priests for Life, issued the following statement today on her upcoming appearance at the August 28th Restoring Honor Rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial organized by commentator Glenn Beck.

“Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s legacy, like the Lincoln Memorial itself, belongs to all Americans. I am participating in Glenn Beck’s Restoring Honor Rally not to advance any political agenda, but to advance the concept of honor in our nation.

Politicians will not read it so maybe YOU SHOULD. Read the bill. All 1017 pages of it. Whether you support it or don’t support it, your Congressman is not going to read it so you should and then call your representative. When you ask them if they have read it they will call you an idiot, a zealot, or a disruptive influence but if you know more than they do all criticisms bounce off.

I don’t support the bill and:

• I am not a racist.
• An ideolog.
• A socialist.

I am:

• A Constitutionalist.
• A Conservative.
• A concerned American.

We will get nowhere copying the failed health care systems in the UK, Canada, and elsewhere.

This is a an eye opener.

“This paper presents the first-ever comprehensive ranking of the American states on their public policies affecting individual freedoms in the economic, social, and personal spheres. We develop and justify our ratings and aggregation procedure on explicitly normative criteria, defining individual freedom as the ability to dispose of one’s own life, liberty, and justly acquired property however one sees fit, so long as one does not coercively infringe on another individual’s ability to do the same.”

” New York is the least free by a considerable margin, followed by New Jersey, Rhode Island, California, and Maryland.”

The 912 Project I watched Glenn Beck tonight on Fox and I was deeply moved. When I tried to visit the new website for The 912 Project it was down or too busy. After I wrote this post over ONE THOUSAND people clicked here apparently thinking my article link was a way to get to the project.

In all my years on the net I have never seen anything like this. Glenn’s impact has been extraordinary. Thousands of people are trying to connect to his domain and it is still showing an error 403 – Forbidden. We will all have to wait and take a more orderly approach to joining Glenn in the project.

What struck me the most was when he looked into the camera and said that it wasn’t the media that mattered. It wasn’t the politician that mattered it was US. The American people.

I really hope that tonight a message was finally received in Washington. A message that we are going to expect that principled people are actually solving our nation’s problems.

God bless America.

As of 0827 this morning Glenn’s site is still down and I don’t see any news about it at FoxNews.com. We can read about the 9 Principles to Believe In. and Glenn’s twelve values.

Links here almost brought my website to its knees because people REALLY wanted to connect with Glenn on this. This is nothing short of phenomenal.

The 9-12 Project.
We surround them.
