        Gina likes to quote C.S. Lewis from Screwtape Letters. Here is a quote from some of his other writings for ya.

        "When you invite a middle-aged moralist to address you, I suppose I must conclude...that you have a taste for middle-aged moralizing."

        --The Weight of Glory

      "God is under attack. . . . It is the oldest battle of mankind. It has happened since the beginning of time."

      So it was taking place back during the hunter gatherer stage of development? It was taking place when people were practicing the second oldest profession--farming? Why didn't they just take care of it then? Well, maybe it wasn't such a big deal.

        Exactly. The Universe is almost 14 billion years old; humans' concept of God a few thousand. Beck is only off by how many orders of magnitude?

          Maybe he didn't appreciate the Hubble showing the real age of the universe when George had his own proof it was only 6,000 years old ....

      Latest ratings for glenn beck's show are in!

      [http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/files/2009/07/down_graph-blog_thumbnail1.jpg]

      An analysis of these ratings reveals that beck's audience is down to those few people, maybe three hundred in the whole country, who are delusional enough to think "God is under attack", or other similar crazy thoughts (like "the U.S. government is coming to get you, barricade the door and arm yourselves!"), but the same ratings graph reveals also that this is now glenn beck's target audience... he has gained such a fast and wide reputation for nonsense, that he has decided to target just those people, just crazies, and never mind anybody else or anybody sane, his reputation is ruined with them and is ridiculous among the sane portion of the population... please note that the graph falls beneath the baseline or zero point: this is to reflect that glenn beck has resorted to pretending he has an audience when none actually exists, like in the above audio clip, where the shill referred to as "Gina" is obviously someone that beck has arranged to call him, someone contrived and in league with him, it may even have been Sarah Palin it kind of sounded like her.

            You people are hilarious! You will glom on to anything to denigrate any conservative. Beck,a Libertarian, believes in God as do I, and he is trying to get through your thick craniums that we are all human beings and there is no color, nor political boundaries that separate what we need to understand to get back to God and lead more moral, principled lives. We need restoration of our country's values not transformation of our fundamental beliefs and certainly not our liberty and freedom.

      Glenn really screwed up this time. C.S. Lewis' wife was a communist.

      http://www.cslewisinstitute.org/cslewis/JDavidmanProfile.htm

      Always the radical with somewhat of an obsessive personality, Joy Davidman, like many intellectuals in the 1930s and 1940s, proclaimed herself disillusioned with capitalism and the "American system." Joy flirted with Communism during these tumultuous years. And while she never came close to becoming a doctrinaire Marxist, she did advocate socialism over capitalism, especially since the latter system, to her mind, had failed and caused the Great Depression. Joy actually joined the Communist Party but found the meetings and most of the members quite boring. If she never advocated or expected the overthrow of capitalism, she did indeed enjoy criticizing both Democrats and Republicans who she believed were less enlightened than the supposedly heroic socialists who led the U.S.S.R.
