Beck urges viewers to stage candlelight vigils: "Demand that your rights come from God, not from a politician"

Very well said,

What is this idiot running for now: Pope.

Absolutely, Irony. It can't be said enough times.

One of the interesting things about the crucifix, some christians are opposed to using it as a symbol for Jesus. They use the 'fish' emblem instead.

Atheists are cretins!

Beck is not fluent in english enough to pass a simple philosophy 101 class at the local university.

No you don't. The Texas Education Board removed it from the history curriculum.

LOL!

The Founders despised democracy...and wisely so. It is the very worst form of gov't and always fails leading to a dictatorship.

That's why they even refused to use the word "democracy" in either the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution.

The US is a republic and the Constitution guarantees a republican form of gov't.

Yet they don't really understand it, nor do they comprehend the Declaration of Independence. They certainly like to mimic King George.

Easy The_Cat, they'd say America is a christian country so of course Islam, Jews and Atheists aswell as any other religions are tolerated in they're world and equals of course, they'd ideally have Beck holding the prophet Muhammad in a headlock on t.v saying "remember muslims, we own you".

Publisly they're open to all religions, as long as they know they're place in BJ Fan and Becks world, below them as a lesser religion.

But, but, but, wasn't it BJ Fan that said that Beck's 9/12 principles are just like the Ten Commandments? Beck has become his fans' god.

Consumer rights?
Right to fair trial?
Right to seek asylum if a country treats you badly ( Thats most likely dreamt up by a government and not God I'd imagine)

I think they didn't all just fall out of the sky you know

Rights don't come from anywhere. That's what makes them RIGHTS.

Agreed. We're born with them. But government can withhold people's ability to exercise the rights they were born with, and government can grant access to those rights.

Does that make sense? I'm thinking, as a for instance, the government originally withholding access for women to vote in elections, only to later grant "the right" (so to speak) to exercise the right to vote.

How about a bonfire instead! Yippee!

He may have attended, but I don't think he paid much attention.

The part about the declaration of independence and the bible not standing up in a court of law. The part about our creator not doing crap for the thousands of americans that are dying because they dont have insurance. The part about acting like religion and government are interchangeable whenever it is convenient for beck to do so. The bible in fact tells that one is judged by how the treat the sick, the poor, the elderly, the weakest in society. That we should open our homes and hearts to those in need. Why does beck not talk about what the bible actually says instead of just talking about some nonexistent interventional type god that supposedly would come to earth and grant everyone health insurance if he deemed them fit. This is not reality - this is delusional. The government is acting because the insurance industry is a joke - god will not help in this matter. The only reason to look to god is to perhaps find some morality or humanity to realize why this is important for this country.. But of course, glenn completely misses the boat once again.

"What part of "endowed by our Creator" don't you understand?"

Actually it's "their creator" a tremendous difference. Our implies one, their implies one to many.

I'm not a "progressive." I'm a lifelong conservative. Beck's not only not a conservative, he's also one of the most uneducated, unintelligent people I've ever seen on an alleged "news" program. He says nothing, but you buy it. What does that say about you?

He drives us nuts because he's shallow and irrational (and, yes, regressive), and some of us just can't stand to think that so many of our fellow citizens are joining him in abandoning reason in favor of the hyperbolic crypto-conspiratorial bullsh*t that he spews every day.

Incidentally, have you ever noticed that the phrase "endowed by their creator" in the DOI is immediately followed by the following: "That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed" ??

What part of the Declaration don't you understand that it has no force of law behind it. That's what our Constitution is for. The Dec was a well written press release declaring our intentions to England.

Oh, maybe Dionysus.
