"I can’t control what people think this was. I can only tell you my intentions. This was not a rally to ridicule people of faith, or people of activism, or to look down our noses at the Heartland, or passionate argument, or to suggest that times are not difficult and that we have nothing to fear– they are, and we do. But we live now in hard times, not end times."
Good quote and good line at the end.
But that's to say it was really the only quote from the whole rally that I cared for. It wasn't the action on stage that mattered for me, just that a call for everyone to calm down and recognize your enemies as not really extreme but sensible human beings who also believe they have a good answer to the problems that face us all had almost 150k people show up in that spirit.
