Beck: Social justice is a "perversion that started in the early 1900s to get the Progressives into the church"

Glenn Beck is a perversion that started in 1964.

Hey Glenn, if social justice doesn't exist how come you keep bringing it up?

Is this guy for real? I guess the greatest social justice movement of our time, the civil rights era, was just a ploy to take the church away from racists and zealots.

No, more likely this is an attempt by the right to head off reform and government regulation of abusive business practices.

Actually Beck, you canfind the term social justice in founding documents. Try the Federalist Papers... or does that not count?

"perversion that started in the early 1900s to get the Progressives into the church"

When I hear the words "church" and "perversion", the above isn't what first comes to mind, if you know what I mean and I think you do.

From the Federalist Papers, No. 51 (Madison):

Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It ever has been and ever will be pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit. In a society under the forms of which the stronger faction can readily unite and oppress the weaker, anarchy may as truly be said to reign as in a state of nature, where the weaker individual is not secured against the violence of the stronger; and as, in the latter state, even the stronger individuals are prompted, by the uncertainty of their condition, to submit to a government which may protect the weak as well as themselves; so, in the former state, will the more powerful factions or parties be gradnally induced, by a like motive, to wish for a government which will protect all parties, the weaker as well as the more powerful.

The genius of it is that there's really no way to even dispute his "claims", because they have no meaning. Which I guess convinces his listeners that he has made an irrefutable argument.

But can his listeners at least have the curiosity to ask him for examples of what means, so they can, err, know who the enemy is? I guess they know they're not supposed to.

Abortion cant be find in the bible either. Neither can physician assisted suicide or contraception to prevent STDs. Neither can gay marriage for that matter. How is jesus against any of them?

Why didn't they just use naked virgins and wine? Always worked before.
