Someone To Bury Us

There was a profound difference between Beck’s and Colbert’s/Stewart’s rally. (I haven’ heard the numbers comparison yet.) The networks steered clear of this one because they felt embarrassed. So did most Democrat politicians.

The difference between Beck’s and today’s rally is the difference between old and new. In the pre-Obama days, a large part of the American Dream was perceived as our children doing better than ourselves. That’s why many of us risked everything to get here. Today, it can be summed up by the adage: We bear our children as to have someone to bury us.
