A word on Beck's 8/28 rally & tea party protests in general ...

During this global economic crisis we have seen protests in many parts of the world as public coffers feel the pinch, Greece and France come to mind. But everywhere else those protests are against the proposed cuts in public programs, services, and spending. Only here, only AMERICANS, are out protesting against the continuation of such spending. They take to the streets at the idea of government withdrawing its' support ... we pour into the streets with the notion that government does too much.

And that gives me a particular sense of pride in my nation.
