Glenn Beck

[Nadiine]

Sheeple: Those who sign the back of checks. Republicans sign the front.

I define sheeple as 'drones'

hey, don't be so sure repubs. are the only ones signing
fronts of checks; the democrats just voted themselves the
biggest tax hikes they'll ever see.

WILLINGLY NO LESS!
they cannot WAIT to sign the fronts of their checks going out.

brilliant

I like Glenn Beck, but I like Rush even more

Beck is fast approaching #1 with a bullitt in cable news polls.

He's one of the "few", very few, that speaks out loud in TV land about what conservatives actually think and are concerned about.

It's not PC to speak against the policies of the ONE in the media. Beck has the guts to do it, (with relish).

Really doesn't matter cause very few Dems pay taxes from what I've seen in the news.

if you like that, you might enjoy this little video
I was sent in my Email.

There's also a push to get people to mail a teabag on April 1st
to Wash. DC (just the label of the teabag) to let them know
you don't approve of the spending bills w/ earmarks.

Plus a red envelope to be sent to Obama for his abortion
reversals... I'll get the links
I'll probly do the teabag thingy.

Santelli of CNBC was reined in after expressing his truthful feelings.

The parent company of CNBC, GE, shut him up. They're a supporter of the Messiahs administration. BTW, General Electric was downgraded from AAA status this week to AA+ on Wall Street. They're the parent company of NBC & MSNBC. GE has a very liberal agenda and will unquestionably be bailed out by this administration.

Interesting. (not real surprising is it) - I knew NSNBC was as liberal
as it gets... I didn't know about GE.

I have to keep remembering that God has predicted that these
events have to happen to move into the global unity we have to
get to and I think a world market crash is just the catalyst to
force it. (Obamas spending bills are just the icing on the cake
to keep the country from recovery).

I dont' think it's going to be easy watching this get worse -
I think we need prayer to cope with the events that will be
coming soon.

But hey, wouldn't it be wonderful to be wrong and we get
the country back like it used to be?

 

[-~Truth_N_Trust~-]

oh man Nadiine, that video is hilarious! Gold! I've seen a few instances lately on our shows where people have started asking the sensible, obvious questions of 'spending our way to prosperity?' as Santelli put it...

btw, hi Nadiine good to see ya! Love your new sig...

...ever wonder if maybe, since he is part of a non-nicene cultic religion [Mormon] that perhaps he would be better left unwatched...thought just crossed my mind...does his "super patriotism" trump his cultic faith to be accepted as a legitimate news commentator with Christians?

 

[Auntie]

Jim, I'm not sure it makes any difference?

I mean, his main message is how we were all in unity Sept. 12th, 2001.
We put away, temporarily, all the things that separated us as Americans.

As long as he's not selling Mormanism, I don't think it matters what his personal faith is.

I would think a person's faith always matters

...except perhaps when it comes to nationalism~then we can compartmentalize faith...faith is just for the "religion" box, then there's the "patriotism" box, and as along as we can keep things separated then it's cool? Dude's a mormon, a religion dangerous cultic enough that even CF keeps it at bay...just thinking out loud here..

I don't see that it makes a difference here. Mormons and conservative Christians disagree on theology, not on politics. Beck isn't talking about the nature of Jesus as God, or whether the Book of Mormon is divinely inspired scripture, but about government power grabs and profligate spending. Beck could be an atheist, a Buddhist, a Hindu or a Muslim for all I care. So long as he talked good sense about politics, I'd continue to listen to him.

Still, sounds awfully close to fellowshipping with the unfruitful works of darkness...or is it just a case of "The enemy of my enemy is my friend" sorta thing...?

People of other religions aren't the enemy, but fellow children of God who don't understand all of His revelation yet. They may know some of it: all religions contain some truth, else no one would bother to follow them. But the others lack the most important thing, the resurrected Christ. We can and should preach the Gospel to them... but what will make them want to listen? Treating them as the enemy... or as prodigal sons?

I meant more along the lines of Conservative vs Liberal cultural war..as far as all religions "containing some truth"....not enough to unite with.

On that level, I think conservatives can consider Mormons allies in the culture war. They may be in theological error, but they're solidly in favor of conservative moral values.

 

[MrJim]

..and it sounds like "conservative moral values" trumps truth every time when it comes to defense of the American Way Is "conservative moral values" the Christian faith?

Funny thing is there are some "liberals" clinging more truth but considered the "enemy" because disagreements with "conservative moral values", and yet they would be brothers and sisters in Christ whereas a Mormon (or maybe we'll get a popular conservative Jehovah's Witness radio guys soon) is not.

..again just thinking out loud...

 

[Auntie]

Jim, going back to your original question:

...does his "super patriotism" trump his cultic faith to be accepted as a legitimate news commentator with Christians?

Honestly, I usually don't know a commentator's faith. Unless they talk about it, or I happen to hear about it. I know O'Reilly and Hannity are Catholic, and that's about it. The only reason I know Beck is Mormon is because he has said he is Mormon.

What is Rush Limbaugh's faith? I don't have a clue, never heard him mention it before. But a lot of the time, he has some good things to say, so I listen to him.

It sounds as though faith really has little or nothing to do with "conservative moral values"...that it really isn't an issue, not important, an insignificant role, of little value...and therein may be a clue to follow. When something as important as "conservative moral values" really has no truth in faith required, perhaps it isn't as important as we may think it is...perhaps it truly is a distraction from the real calling, the real work, the real battle...again, just thinking aloud here..

Paul does not tell us not to associate with non-Christians, although he does tell us not to associate with immoral Christians who refuse to repent. I think that what he writes below would say that where our and non-Christian interests coincide, we can cooperate together.

1 Corinthians 5:9-13 (NASB95)
9 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; 10 I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. 11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one. 12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church? 13 But those who are outside, God judges. Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.

It would seem though that we're going beyond mere association (which I would understand as general contact and interaction) when uniting with those propagating "conservative moral values" when they are not of same faith...it is as though as long as they meet an "issues litmus test" regardless of faith they are validated in some way as being acceptable.

Just sayin' (Glenn says that a lot), maybe if we don't have core beliefs in common there may be reason to suspect motive...and my earlier thought, that these "conservative moral values" arguments are a distraction, perhaps good stuff on the surface, but not key to what the faith is about..
