Christians form a ring around Muslims to protect them during their prayers at demonstrations in Cairo, Egypt.
In Cairo, Christians protect Muslims while they pray; in America, Christians protest Muslims building a Community Center. Makes one ponder the question, “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
According to Reverend Beck, progressives are now “enemies of God”. It simply wasn’t enough ( meaning he had to up the ante to earn better ratings) to call progressives socialists, communists and Nazis – which of course is a complete oxymoron, but then again so is Beck – now progressives are labeled “enemies of God”. And of course if Reverend Beck says it, well, then it must be so.
On his 21 Jan 11 edition of Premiere Radio Networks’ The Glenn Beck Program, Beck stated the “Founding Fathers” sought to promote enlightenment, empowerment and entrepreneurship.
“There are another set of founders in America — the founders of the progressive movement. They know this system as well,” Beck said. “And they also know all thought is creative. So now let’s just quickly look at what they’ve (progressives) done. They have distanced God from people. They have discredited him, distanced him, made him into a joke, denied his existence or, at best, just confused him with social justice and everything else — just confused him.”
This is the whole; they’re “enemies of God” stuff. After all progressives – according to Beck – have “discredited” God, “distanced” God, made God “into a joke”, “denied” God’s “existence”, or the best, progressives have “just confused” God “with social justice and everything else.” The “social justice” and “everything else” of course would be those evil parts of the progressive movement where we’re all supposed to help each other, help pull each other up and lift one another, nothing like the conservative view of Christianity, which is screw your neighbor, if you want to find a righteous man look for a rich man, after all if he’s rich God must have blessed him with it, and of course that means if you’re poor you must be sinful. Let’s just forget about the whole Sermon on the Mount, and that camel fitting through the eye of the needle nonsense.
Reverend Beck is as obtuse as they come when it comes to the subject of God or religion. He chooses to ignore all the best tenants of Christianity because they get in his way, just as they get in the way of Limbaugh, Hannity et al. If the top 2% (meaning those who have the majority of the wealth in our country) spent more time creating jobs and helping to take care of the poor, then the government wouldn’t have too. Unfortunately their credo is becoming more and more, (in my very rudimentary Latin) “Ut quod mei est mei, quod ut quod vestri est mei, sic combibo is sursum” or “That which is mine is mine, and that which yours is mine, so suck it up”.
