47 Hours from now

[guitar man]

47 Hours from now the news cycle will be moving on to the next shiny object it finds amusing

47 days from now few will remember that this sideshow ever happened

47 years from now no one will even know who Beckkk was


But 47 years ago today...and still we remember...

I will be astonished if Beck is on the network 4 years from now.

Probably heading his own Church by then.

20. I was 16. I wasn't into politics.

I was a little white boy living in rural America. I remember watching it live. "I Have a Dream" touched me. I will never forget.

22. I Get the Point !!....

Boy, I wish those "others" would get it. :think:

[tpsbmam]

23. Ditto SalviaBlue.....Perspective. Great post. My parents

were part of that march (I was 8). I remember the whole event and just feeling so damn proud that my white, WASP-y parents were part of that march. They talked to us about why they were marching and what the march meant. We lived in Washington (DC) at the time and I had many black friends from both the US and other countries -- when Mom & Dad put it in terms of my friends not being able to be my friends in lots of places (and with lots of parents), of them not being able to go to a diner and have dinner with us, of not being able to go to the same schools as I did, not being able to live in our neighborhood as 2 of my friends did......it sank in at the core of even a little 8-year-old. I got it and I was proud of them. Still am. It's one of the great days in history and one of the great days in my personal history.

34. Great freaking Post!

But I have to tell you I feel more pain about Birdie than the freak show in DC yesterday. Thanks and I hope you are getting new dog and he/she turns out to be as good for you as Birdie!!

[guitar man]

43. Thanks so much

It was hard losing her after 11 years, she was the best dog that ever lived IMO.

And yes, we found another dog, it was like lightning struck when I saw her on the Humane Society website. Same breed cross as Birdie was, 14 month old pup. She reminds me so much of Birdie sometimes it's uncanny. We still miss the old girl a lot but the new pup is helping the healing a lot, somehow life goes on. :)

[blue sky at night]

54. I love hearing that you adopted from the shelter...

way to go! Dogs are the best, take care and keep swinging for the fences like you did on this one!

[guitar man]

60. I always adopt

I'm a sucker for a dog with a hard luck story. Birdie was a few hours away from the big sleep when I rescued her from the city animal shelter. She had a great long life with us, I hope we get to do the same with Olive.

35. "47 years from now no one will even know who Beckkk was"

I'm not sure we know who he is NOW. I worry there might be a terrible cargo in the belly of this puffy, white Trojan Horse.

Really nice post.
Thank you..

[liberal N proud]

50. Well put

Absolutely well put!

[underpants]

52. Yes. Yes. Yes. and Yes.

[Ramulux]

53. I hope we still remember Beck

fifty years from now. As a reminder of how we as a country failed to stop an insane racist piece of shit from becoming one of the most important political figures of our time and how the media refused to stand up to his psychotic ravings. We will remember this time period in a negative light and Glenn Beck will be one of the main reasons for that.
