Glen Beck has been real "extra" for last two years. At least as far I have can tell. Not sure if he is looking to become the next Rush or O'Reilly.

He is doing exactly what he is supposed to do: Telling America how whites really feel right now.
I do not agree with him, but he is a voice for many white folks who feel they have been cheated out of white privilege in today's society. The ironic part about it is that it is whites who have cheated themselves out of opportunity by being complacent and remaining ignorant of changes in the world.
Many white Americans had grand opportunities to perpetuate their legacies. But they chose to stay lazy and be consumed by cheap entertainment, cheap food, cheap thrills, and cheap credit.
What is happening to many whites here is similar to what happened to whites in South Africa when apartheid ended. Those lazy and greedy white folks that benefited were left on the streets because they always thought that being white in and of itself would be enough to live the good life.
It's too bad that the same people listening to him still will not wake up and make the necessary changes to progress. They will rally and cheer when he speaks. But at the end of the day, the majority of his fans will go back to their little lives and grovel until death.

The earth has stopped again! I agree denny, but I'm actually suprised to see that you feel that way. Now...as far as WHY he's dangerous (since someone asked "to who?") well, screaming freaks like Beck who advocate such anti-government sentiments so passionately have viewers/listeners out there who feed off of that kind of rhetoric on 24/7. Those kinds of folks are then led to believe that they are doing the work of God when they blow up federal buildings, organize militant groups with guns and weapons and then hold up in compounds, or inspire neo-Nazi orgs and militias to bring guns to town hall meetings and other gathering just feet away from Capitol Hill. Some even are led to believe that an ELECTED president is some kind of Manchurian candidate, a Nazi and is planning secret FEMA camps and will take everyone's guns away and come into our homes and kidnap our kids.

Number one- Beck is a mormon and religious pluralist. Anyone that does not advocate moral absolutes will not believe that his religion is the only way, thereby acquiescing to other beliefs. He has managed to get some spineless Christians to go along with his agenda. If he had me on his show, we would be doing a history on his Anti-Black, Polygamist religion and its founders. I am gald Beck is trying to give us a history lesson. Has anyone EVER wondered why you only take ONE year of U.S. History? ? How do governments take control of a people? By rendering them educationally impotent. They do it in two ways, indoctrination and historical abscence. I guarantee you that 99% of school children 9-12th grade believe this country is a Democracy. I wonder how many of these kids have ever read, MORE THAN ONCE the Declaration of Independence and U.S. Constitution. I gave two of my sons a copy of both before they left to go to college. I had good reason to. Now for indoctrination I leave you some quotes, "THIRTEENTH: Religious humanism maintains that all associations and institutions exist for the fulfillment of human life. The intelligent evaluation, transformation, control, and direction of such associations and institutions with a view to the enhancement of human life is the purpose and program of humanism. Certainly religious institutions, their ritualistic forms, ecclesiastical methods, and communal activities must be reconstituted as rapidly as experience allows, in order to function effectively in the modern world." Humanist Manifesto II "The battle for humankind's future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: A religion of humanity -- utilizing a classroom instead of a pulpit to carry humanist values into wherever they teach. The classroom must and will become an arena of conflict between the old and the new -- the rotting corpse of Christianity, together with its adjacent evils and misery, and the new faith of humanism." John Dunphy "John Dewey, remembered for his efforts in establishing America's current educational systems, was one of the chief signers of the 1933 Humanist Manifesto. It seems the Humanists have been interested in America's education system for nearly a century. They have been absolutely successful in teaching children that God is imaginary and contrary to "science." www.secular-humanism.com/Now the earth hasn't stopped moving. Beck and Obama are no different religiously, nor do they differ much politically. Obama and Beck are both religious pluralists and political extremists. Obama is a socialist bigot, while Beck is a capitalist bigot. If I was forced to choose sides, Obama would not be the one. I value freedom more than bringing everyone down to my level. So Robe, I am sure you have problems with the black panthers, correct? I hope so! You don't think Obama is inspiring extremist groups? Look at his Czars, his appointments, and the people he quotes and learns from. Who are you? Who are you? Who are you?

I typically suggest that those who scream out about how the US Constutition and their rights are being trampled on are usually those who don't know too much about the Consititution. They typically stay focused ONLY on the Bill of RIghts as if that is the ONLY part of the constitution...anyway, I digress...
"Anyone that does not advocate moral absolutes will not believe that his religion is the only way, thereby acquiescing to other beliefs"...Denounce. Im wondering how the First Amendment plays into your analysis. Specifically the freedom of religion and association. As someone who respects FREEDOM and the CONSTITUTION, how would suggest the government implement the First amendment if being open minded to other religions other than your own is "immoral" to you?
You mention indoctrination, but you seem to imply its a bad word. But FYI, ALL INSTITUTIONS INDOCTRINATE! Can you provide me some examples under which my conclusion is incorrect?

Denounced This is where the thin line must be drawn. I understand freedom of religion and have no problem with it. But there is a higher law at work here, divine law. I understand it would be best for people to follow a biblical worldview.

Denounced But Secular Humanism seeks to indoctrinate without regard to the first amendment. This is why Christians are persecuted if they even mention intelligent design in public schools, yet evolution, with all of its proven fallacies is still taught without the biblical worldview.

Sorry Cam, but these dudes do not follow a biblical worldview. Scott Roeder did to Tiller what Tiller did to babies. He was deceived. You say absolutes, but I mean moral absolutes based on a biblical worldview. You want me to give you some examples of those who held relative morals and how many they killed? You don't want me to go there..........

The gift of freedom for me is in Christ Jesus, which is why I do not have to go out and shoot abortionists. They are a dime a dozen, and are already under divine judgment, lest they repent and stop killing. You think that I am advocating a National Theocracy. I am not, and do not subscribe to it. You said indoctrination should be obvious to me, but persecution of Christians should be even the more apparent. I advocate that civil laws be based upon moral law. Well where to humans even get the ability to judge morally. See it depends on what you believe. If you are a Secular Humanist, you believe in natural law, where right and wrong are based on human judgments (i.e. morals are relative and laws are discovered via human logic and reasoning). Biblical Law is centered around the God of the Bible. We make laws based on his laws. If biblical law is applied to human beings, the good are rewarded and the evil punished. Not so with relative morality. Relativism falls on its own face. It's so bad now that students are not willing to say that Hitler did anything wrong.

That goes for the Black Panthers as well. Tell me on any occasion when the Black Panthers have ravaged the country and assaulted and killed white folks. When you can show me where either Pres. Obama or the Black Panthers have done any of these things, you may just recover a granule of redemption.

Obama or the Black Panthers have done any of these things, you may just recover a granule of redemption. I will answer more completely when I get the chance. As for violence, vitriol, etc. you truly do not understand a socialist agenda. It takes over things little by little through back door legislation. I am sure you have heard of re-gentrification? I saw it happen in D.C., and was told how it would happen. Well it happened in Harlem where my dad used to live, and it is happening here in North Carolina. No guns, no violence, just kicking blacks out of their homes with promises of section 8 housing elsewhere. As for OBAMA, he is an abortionist, I need to say anything more about that. Peppermint- Your a Christian, have at it. I will say that if governments would use biblical law as a basis for our laws, this world, this country would be a lot better place. Your question can be answered by several Supreme Court decisions over the past 50 years and the attitudes against Christianity for the past 100-150 years by people, lawmakers, etc. What happens in the absence of Biblical Law? DEATH by the millions!!!!!!!!!!!!

Laws for a country that believes in freedom of religion can not base its laws from the Bible because then you are infringing on the rights of those who do not subscribe to Christanity. People kill me with this socialist nonesense. We do have the right as Americans to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but your pursuit to obtain these rights cannot infringe on anyone else's right and that is what people fail to understand.
The Bibical World View works for you and me Denounced because we are both Christians but all Americans are not and it would be unjust to make non-Christians adhere to Bibical law.An unjust law anywhere is an unjust law everywhere.

The first amendment and its policy does not and will not support your thinking. It's not Obama's fault it's the fault of our forefathers! (I am being facetious) Also, your argument is not wrong because you suggest limitations. Limitations are already attached on our freedoms. We can't just say whatever we want if it will cause or create a dangerous environment, and our practice of religion can't involve breaking of laws (e.g., rasta's and weed). But your suggestion is "misplaced" because it goes against the very purpose of freedom of religion and that can not be supported. Other religions are not infringing on your ability to practice Christianity do not infringe on theirs.

If you want to boil it down to it's essence, religion is just philosophy (which really calls into question why so many people are as hostile to it as they are). In that regard I think you could argue that any religion (not just Christianity) is on par with Secular Humanisim within this context.
That being the case, why should the tenants of Secular Humanism be perpetuated in school while the tenants of [insert any religion name here] are not?

Laws are always going to infringe on someone else, so it is always best to choose the laws that punish the wicked and reward the good. "People kill me with this socialist nonesense. We do have the right as Americans to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but your pursuit to obtain these rights cannot infringe on anyone else's right and that is what people fail to understand."
