One Nation Rally - The hodge-podge of disgruntled socialist rant
This rally, billed as being planned before the Restoring Honor Rally was planned and held, was a disorienting and divisive collection of speeches and music without a clear direction to it except an "I Want More From You" chant of bigger Government socialist utopia.
One by one, Communists the likes of Van Jones, Union Leadership operatives from SEIU, AFL-CIO, and etc., and single Race representatives from American Indian tribal associations political landscape operatives (Al Sharpton), La Raza (which translates to "The Race") hispanic rights over all others ... especially legal citizens, came to the microphone to exclaim their injustice and ax to grind in the name of unity ... with all of this being moderated by MSNBC's Ed Shultz. Can you feel the love?
More than 400 organizations, including liberal faith, environmental, union, and gay rights groups, sponsored the "One Nation Working Together" demonstration on the same end of the National Mall where a month ago tea party activists and sympathizers met to hear conservative TV and Radio commentator Glenn Beck, Former Governor Sarah Palin, and a host of other speakers talk to the issue of "Restoring Honor" to our broken nation.
Organizers claimed they had as many participants as Beck's rally. But Saturday's crowds were less dense and didn't reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck's rally. The National Park Service stopped providing official crowd estimates in the 1990s.

Figures. CSPAN Uses Tea Party Rally Crowd Shot for Leftist “One Nation” Rally Article
CSPAN is airing the leftist “One Socialist Nation” rally today in Washington DC.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have a good crowd shot of the turnout… So they used a photo from a Glenn Beck tea party rally.
Notice the Gadsden flags in the background.
(Hat Tip Editor)
This is despite the fact that thousands of supporters were given free rides by unions and the NAACP to the rally.
The actual crowd is a little sparse at the One Nation rally today.
Despite the free rides and T-shirts the leftists just couldn’t match this crowd.
This photo is from the Glenn Beck rally last month.
AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka urged participants, including his union's members, to band together. "There is nothing, and I mean nothing, we can't do when we stand side by side, shoulder to shoulder," Trumka said. "We will stand together. And we will win together. And we won't let anyone — and I mean anyone — stand in our way."
"Coming out of here, we've got to go home and ask our friends to vote, ask our neighbors to vote," NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said.
Socialist protesters and paraphernalia dominated today's left-wing protest rally in Washington, DC. The so-called "One Nation" rally was led primarily by labor unions as an attempt to counter Glenn Beck's Restoring Honor Rally, which took place in DC on 8-28-2010 [VIDEO HERE>>].
Rose Dixon, a health care worker from Pawleys Island, S.C., said she hopes the rally sends a message to lawmakers on Capitol Hill. "Stop the obstructionism. Work together," Dixon said. "Stop playing politics as usual and to put the American people first. We're tired of the politics and the posturing and the games."
This quote sticks out because of its absurdity ... we have been governed since January 20, 2009 by an Executive Branch and Legislative Branch that has a single political party with a voting super majority - and they have passed legislation that has expanded Federal Government by nearly 25% and added more taxpayer debt in 19 months that it took forty previous Executive and Legislative Branches to amass in over 200 years (over 3 Trillion Dollars).
The "obstructionism" Rose Dixon is referring to, of course, is having the Federal Government release money directly to her and people like her. These people believe all power and income comes from Government as opposed to the fruits of one's own labor or intellectual property.
Not once during the rally did we, at LA Conservative Examiner, see or hear anyone stand up for the Constitution of the United States or the Bill of Rights.
Organizers insisted the rally was not partisan. They said the message of the rally is about job creation, quality education and economic justice. However, the 400 organizations, such as the AFL-CIO and the Service Employees International Union, Code Pink, the ACLU, and etc. always back Democrat Party candidates. We have to ask ... what are they rallying for? Their political party currently controls all of the power of this current Federal Government and unfortunately it is "One Nation"!
NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous was right as it relates what is needed to change things as they are in Washington today ... "we've got to go home and ask our friends to vote, ask our neighbors to vote" ... that is, we have to go into our neighborhoods and ask each of our neighbors to vote for a person that will go to Washington and vote to uphold working to have a smaller government, the Constitution of the United States, and the Bill of Rights here during Carter's Second Term.

I used to support this kind of democratic soapboxing. Because quite frankly, democracy belongs to those who can yell the loudest.
But since my youth, I've come to learn that this system is rotten to the very core and should be discarded. Democracy is basically a smokescreen for people who are programmed through their controlled media and then told to vote what they think about it. It's worthless. But your opinions as Americans carry international weight and implications, so it is carefully cultivated and harvested as needed.
How does it feel to be milked without your knowing it?
Your votes will NEVER do what needs to be done here. Because those who actually control this country are beyond your ability to touch them with votes alone.
You need to get your granny's shotgun from out under the bed. Encourage your neightbors to do likewise, and then start heading towards Washington to restore order.
Most of you will just roll over and go back to sleep.

Your frustration is valid but the fact of the matter, marching on Washington with guns will not be the answer. Voting with teeth, the attitude the Tea Party Movement brings to the discourse, is really the best way.
This deal is Class Warfare but NOT the class warfare the Democrats or the Republicans may want you to believe it is - it is the RULING Class versus those who love this country and how it was created ... the COUNTRY Class. Insist that the Constitution and the Bill-Of-Rights are looked at as first principles and REDUCE the size of this (or any layer) Government.
Take down the spending and the money they collect and reinstate citizen control.
"Democracy is basically a smokescreen for people who are programmed through their controlled media and then told to vote what they think about it. It's worthless."
Actually you are wrong. We are not a democracy, we are a REPUBLIC. The Dem's from the past have been pushing the word Democracy for awhile now to get the people "Like you" in believing we are but in reality we are a Republic.
Got something to say?
