Just recently the nation’s attention was drawn to the Glenn Beck Restoring Honor Rally in Washignton DC. Now, it seems the internet population wants Stephen Colbert to host his very own rally, the Stephen Colbert “Restoring Truthiness” Rally.
Stephen Colbert, the host of the Emmy winning Colbert Report is seemingly idolized by millions of Americans who are tired of the way the news is broadcast as well as the politics in this country. From this, the ColbertRally.com website emerged to try and spread the idea of the Restoring Truthiness rally. On the site, it asks everyone to spread the word about the potential rally, on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites at noon today.The idea which originated on Reddit to, “see Stephen Colbert flip a mirror to the Tea Party and show them just how ridiculous they are,” has grown tremendously in the last few days, covered by numerous news outlets, and even getting over 100,000 fans on a Facebook page. Here is the reason why we need this rally, according to the ColbertRally website:
America, we are at a crossroad. Truthiness in this nation is at an all-time low since the inception of the concept was founded by the great American, Stephen Colbert. In its rich history over the past five years, Truthiness has become synonymous with American values such as freedom, honor, and Taco Bell. Recently our nation has suffered a truthiness drain. In fact, untruthiness is as common as measles vaccinations that cause cancer. We as a nation have stopped relying on our emotions and gut. We need to get back to what makes this nation great. Act on impulse not fact. Stop wasting time analyzing and just take what people say on face value. Why think when someone else can think for you. It’s superficial. It’s quick. It’s American. Restore Truthiness now!
