EMBED

GLENN BECK: The Lord will always send a people wake-up calls. And he has been sending us wake-up call, after wake-up call, after a wake-up call. And it has been through the Republicans and the Democrats. It's all of us. All of us.

He has been sending us wake-up calls, and you can send two kinds of wake-up calls. One through fear, like 9/11. Nine-eleven woke us up, and we stood shoulder-to-shoulder for a very short period of time. Politics didn't matter. Color didn't matter. It didn't matter if you were poor or if you were rich. We were Americans together. Beyond that, we were God's human creation standing together.

      For a short time 9/11 united us until Beck decided that he hated the 9/11 families.

        AND HE'S ON THE FOX "NEWS" CHANNEL!!!!!!! PUH-LEEEEZE, America, Please listen to what Glen Beck is saying. God sent us a wake up call when Mohammad Atta flew an airplane in the World Trade center, supposedly doing so in the name of Allah! So, in Glen Beck's mind, the 9/11 hijackers must have simply been God's operators ringing our phones. And, ironically, they were working for the same God who blessed everyone today at the rally with beautiful weather. It's ABSOLUTELY INSANE!

      Can you imagine if even the most moderate Muslim in the world said this?

      I Glenda finally saying that Reverend Wright and Imam Rauf were correct when they stated that America's actions abroad did play a role in the attack on 9/11?

      So is beck suggesting that god attacked us on 9/11? Jeepers creepers...now I have proof that Beck has no idea of what he's saying. How sad for the oldsters who think Beck is the new Messiah.

      Becks finaly right about something, "Politics didn't matter. Color didn't matter. It didn't matter if you were poor or if you were rich. We were Americans together." What he leaves out of course is that fact that Bush and his cronies blew that opportunity and and then turned the world against us.

      It appears some people missed that wake-up call:

      So God made those people hijack planes and fly them into buildings to kill 3,000 people.

      Like I have said all along: God is a royal a-hole.

        Well he already promised he wouldn't do the flood thing again. Seems his genocidal tendencies have weakened over the eons of time.
