      Keep sticking with the perversion story? Glenn Beck was talking on his radio program about how the Democrats plan on passing this bill on the Sabbath during Lent...

      What does he care? Lent is a Catholic holiday and he is a Mormon. Last time I checked, Mormons don't observe Lent. Is he trying to gain back some cred with the other faiths? It seems more like he is perverting faiths to fit his political agenda...

          I'm not exactly sure how much Catholic education Glennie got when he was a kid. He seems pretty ignorant of Catholic tradition.

                    Yes.

                    Pirates are all about the health care.

                      Pirates do like taking from the rich, but I'm not sure how they would feel about the whole spreading the wealth to others, or how they would feel about oversight. But on the other hand I like their environmental policy, They most definitely believe in global warming and that it is a human made problem, so I think I'm split on if I would follow the teachings of the flying spaghetti monster when I go to vote.

                        Pirates firmly believed in sharing the spoils of plunder equally (with a double share for the captain, because he earned it).They also believed in burying some treasure, just in case they ran into money trouble later. You could do a lot worse than work for pirates.

      It's so clear that Beck doesn't know what he's talking about. He has no background in theology or in any kind of cultural studies needed to really discuss these matters deeply, respectfully, and with full understanding. No wonder he refuses to have that public discussion with Rev. Wallis that the reverend had suggested.

      Beck clearly doesn't know that the simplest act of charity (giving or doing something to benefit another in need regardless of what it is) is also an act of social justice.

      On his show he made the joke about a " Party in his pants" this broke up the people he had in the room.

      In this clip jokes about Church-Government and Pants again!

      I did not see it as being FUNNY!

      Jesus lived under Roman domination, not a democratic republic like us. Beck is mindlessly taking what he said as what he literally meant for America 2010, and what he didn't say as what he didn't mean for us.

      I'm pretty impressed with Beck. First he's a learned historian, then a constitutional lawyer, a climatologist and now he's not only a theologian, but he actually communicates with Jesus and is dead sure about what His message is.

      Either Beck is one of those rare divinely inspired geniuses that comes around every century or so, or he's a lunatic. I'm nearly certain it's the latter. Either way, I'm impressed.

      I'm so sure the conservatives have it right. Screw the poor because they are lazy, screw the unemployed because they'd rather collect unemployment, screw liberals who want to help because they're just wrong. I'm sure Dr. King, Gandhi and Mother Teresa were conservatives.

      Beck defies logic with his stupidity. How does his body even perform visceral functions like respiration and digestion with that kind of limited brain capacity. Ill be surprised if he doesn't suffocate after forgetting to breathe one day.
