What Makes Glenn Beck Run?
Ad revenue. Entertainment ya know. Sad for us. That so many lush up to this circus talk. In the simple animal house world of Glenn Beck. Of course capitalism rules. Ya know, that pure silent hand stuff. Winner take all. And, extreme conservatism. There is a pretty darn good article in Wikipedia. I tend to think that Glenn, living the capitalist dream, has sold his soul. To the highest bidder. Here is the latest episode in his ability to connect purely random dots. In reading this, keep in mind that our Pledge of Allegiance was written (in the latter part of the 19th century) by a Christian socialist. Don't tell Glenn. He might have a coronary ... On March 11, 2010, Glenn Beck noted on his TV show that social justice had been a theme of the controversial Father Charles Coughlin, as well as of American Nazi sympathizer Fritz Julius Kuhn who in 1939 called for a "socially just white gentile ruled United States". The media reported Beck was asking Christians to leave their churches if they hear preaching about social justice
because they were code words for Communism and Nazism. This prompted outrage from some Christian bloggers such as the Rev. Jim Wallis, leader of a Christian social justice organization, who blogged "What he has said attacks the very heart of our Christian faith, and Christians should no longer watch his show.” Beck later clarified that he meant that if confronted with a Black liberation theology church such that of Rev Jeremiah Wright, one should find another parish, and noted that Wallis had served as a spiritual adviser to President Obama." WOW. It should be noted that Rev. Otis Moss III is the senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ. Rev. Wright retired. Two years ago. Old news. And, I belong to that social justice (among other things) Christian denomination, and, the local church of which my wife is senior pastor. She preaches social justice (among other things) and I am damn proud of it. We don't make six-nine figures but we get by. Hmmmmmmm. Speaking of connecting the dots. Are SOCIALLY JUST and SOCIAL JUSTICE the SAME THING? Read the complete article on Wikipedia.
