Cartney Playing in the Firetruck Water
The family went to downtown DC this morning to show our support for the Restoring Honor Rally. We ran late and ended up missing Sarah Palin’s speech. She was the only part I really wanted to see. I think she is the most powerful conservative political force in America today and wanted to hear what she had to say. Pity I missed her.
While it was still cool to see so many other Americans dedicated to conservatism gathering together to show real hope for a better future, I have to admit that there were very few parts of Glenn Beck’s speechifying that I thought was inspiring. And those parts were mostly attributed to Lincoln and our founding fathers. Beck used the platform to borderline proselytize to the crowd, and frankly, it was boring. Hey, he admonished everyone to speak the truth, and the truth was- it was pretty boring.
On the way back to the Metro stop in Foggy Bottom we passed a firetruck that was kind enough to provide cooling water for the crowd. We stripped the shirt and shoes off the boy and let him cool off a while.
We also got the best hotdogs in the Nation’s Capital, from a hotdog truck outside of George Washington University. Everyone we met was super nice, polite and kind, and it made for a pretty good way to waste a Saturday morning.
