on what planet is encouraging people to pray and fast cheapening a day?

Its supposed to be a day for prayer and atonement of SINS related to one's personal spiritual life.

Not turning it into another political rally to fight against the "fascists" from taking over the Republic.

most of the planet is not Jewish and encouraging people to turn to God hardly demeans the day, or those who who celebrate it in another way.

Who watches the Glenn Beck show? He brings up some stuff that even Hannity or Rush doesn't cover. Some of it is actually frightening. I suggest people watch it, or TiVo it if you're at work.

I don't trust Glenn beck or Fox news. I trust Alex Jones and infowars.com

I don't think there's a reason to "trust" anyone in journalism. I do think there's a reason to consider carefully their points.

I read "The Conscience of a Conservative" in the 70's and was dismayed at how well it had predicted the conditions of the 70's from 1964. Liberals claimed the 60's had changed the world. Conservatives knew that wasn't true, and their predictions proved out in the late 70's

Don't mistake Beck's longterm predictions as being outlandish. They're not.

I'm not worried about his predictions. I'm worried about his mental state.

I'm not worried about his mental state. I'm worried about the direction of the government's latest power grab, and I see he is, too. I've seen precious little oppression coming out of non-government organizations, in comparison with government organizations, throughout history. The political rules haven't changed; we haven't become more enlightened. The end result of usurpation of the power of the people is deprivation of the people. Beck just sees it as it is.

Beck is a loon. A stark raving loon.

I say this not based on his views, but based on his behaviour.

Simple math.

So was Goldwater in his day.

He was a stark raving mad truth-teller.

Beck's in good company, actually. Prophets, Jesus, Apostles, bishops, martyrs.
haha I thank you for the comedy on this Monday morning. I needed that.

Thank you for not providing substantial evidence for your opinion. 'Makes it so much easier to make jokes about it.

As if your last couple posts were chocked full of links, sources and documentation. Right!

^_^

Just following your shining example.

Actually, your response this morning set the tone of my response. But I see through your postings that you were here long before I responded.

How prescient of you. Tarring & feathering, and then blaming someone else. Hm. Not that I haven't seen a whole lot of that kind of irrational argument in recent years .... I've found people are accustomed to dislike being labeled, and yet they slap labels on those they oppose. Sure, slap away. But don't expect others to avoid slapping a few on ya as equal & opposite reaction.

To require your opposition do other than you have done, is to prejudice your response.

Just read my posts for what they actually say and you'll do fine. You're talking quite a liberty judging my charater here.
