A Liberal Disguised As A Man of The Cloth

Interestingly, HE never mentions Jesus, nor points out where Beck is wrong.

Hey folks,

Happy Hump Day. So they are still talking about the "Restoring Honor" Rally in Washington DC this past Saturday. As I told you before, Liberals ALWAYS attack what they fear. Some are still attempting to get you to believe that this was nothing more than a few thousand White, Racists. Notice how NO ONE is talking about the numbers of the Rev. Sharpton Rally? {Smile}

They HATE the fact that nearly a half Million of you were there. They HATE the fact that Glenn Beck, well, breaths, was there. They HATE the fact that the word GOD was mentioned. They HATE that this was actually a successful Rally.

So this Liberal, disguised as a Man of God, and I know a few, gets his Op-Ed published in the Washington Post. Entitled Glenn Beck's generic God. Oh yeah, they HATE Fox News too. It starts off with this.

Fox News host Glenn Beck muddled biblical references with fragments of American history, recreating a pottage of civil religion that says America has a divine destiny and claiming that a national revival is beginning.

Well, he is RIGHT. This guy HATES the fact that Beck DARED to invoke God, and put God in America again. He HATES that Beck talked about the Founding Fathers and the whole reason that they formed this Country. FREEDOM. With that FREEDOM, the number one component is Freedom OF Religion. This guy obviously knows nothing about the REAL History of this Country.

At the very beginning of the "Restoring Honor" Rally at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, Beck proclaimed, "Something beyond imagination is happening. Something that is beyond man is happening. America today begins to turn back to God."

I have talked about the Moral Decline in this Country for years. I did a whole series on it. It is happening right in front of us. From Liberals attempting to remove God from Schools to all Public places, to the incorrect and non-existent "Wall," we are left with what we have now. Beck talked about America, and even some Churches appear to be asleep, and this slumber is what is allowing all this to take place. This slumber is what causes people, even people of Faith, to allow someone like Obama and his Regime to come in and take over. This is how Tyranny begins. Good people doing nothing.

Beck compares America's history with the Jews that were lead to the promised land by Moses. He talked about what happened after God's chosen people got to the promised land. They fell asleep. They forgot WHY they we there. They forgot WHO it was that freed them. They turned to idols and lust. You all know the story. Well, Glenn compared that to the way America seems to be heading today. We forget that we are here because of FREEDOM. We are here because of God. We ARE a Christian Nation. Sorry, but we are.

He went on to highlight what I guess he found incorrect. I don't. Beck was a hundred percent on the money. He is correct on his comparison. He at no time said America was the Promised Land. He said that America is the story of Humanity. Then this Liberal said this. THIS is one of the things that Liberals fear most.

Warning that Americans were at a crossroad and had to decide what they believed, Beck said, "Abraham Lincoln found God in the stars of Gettysburg. He was baptized and gave the second inaugural. He looked to God and set men free. America awakened again."

He soon segued to Moses.

"Moses freed them. Then they forget. They wander until they remember that God is the answer. He always has been. And then they begin to trust," said Beck.

"Have trust in the Lord. And recognize that Moses and Abraham Lincoln and George Washington were men. They were just like you...Man makes a difference. What is it that these men have that you don't?...The answer is nothing...They relied on God...America is great because America is good...We as individuals must be good so America can be great. America is at a crossroads...Look to God," pled the TV talk-show host.

Liberals HATE God. That means that A - there is something bigger than them. B- there are truly consequences for actions. THEY want to be the final authority in all things. They can't be, if there is a God.

Then he illustrates another thing Liberals HATE. The Military. The fact that we are here, Free, and that Freedom comes with a price.

Mixing Christian faith with military images, the rally included video clips of soldiers, flags and eagles. The Bible was also read.

Yup. Men and Women have paid the ultimate price for this Freedom. They will still defend it today, because it is WORTH defending. Even if those that are receiving the benefit do not understand it, nor appreciate it.

C. L. Jackson, pastor of Houston's Pleasant Grove Missionary Baptist Church, prayed for the "ministry of Glenn Beck."

Wait a Black guy? Quick, say that doesn't matter. Look, look. Nothing but White people.

The crowd - as viewed on Beck's own streaming video broadcast - had very, very few people of color.

The white audience listened at one point as two African-American men read different passages from the Bible and two Africa-American women sang solos with recorded tracks.

Another African-American woman, Alveda King, a niece of Martin Luther King Jr., gave a sermon, referencing "Uncle Martin," failing public education, the "womb war" and hope that prayer would one day be welcomed back in public schools.

{Laughing} Nothing but White Racists, uh, listening to Black people over and over again. Must have been rough for them. Then Dr. Alveda King? She decided that THIS Rally was more important than the one for her Uncle MLK Jr. over there hosted by Rev. Sharpton? These White Racists must have hated that even more. {Smile}

Truth is, there were people from EVERY walk of life. Every Color, Faith, "Class," every where. But I know, I know, that doesn't fit the narrative.

No amount of Bible reading, sermons masquerading as prayers and Christian hymns can cover up Beck's civil religion that slides back and forth between the Bible and nationalism, between authentic faith and patriotic religion.

He treats the "American scripture" - such as the Gettysburg Address - as if it bears the same revelatory weight as Christian Scripture.

One of the problems that we have now. We have forgotten, or most, do not even KNOW what the Gettysburg Address, Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the REAL American Ideal is all about. They do not even know what they say. That is one of Beck's points.

Then this guy, decides as Liberals do, that he knows better what is in Glenn's heart and mind than Glenn does.

What is important to Beck is belief in God - God generically - not a specific understanding of God revealed in the biblical witness, but God who appears in nature and from which one draws universal truths.

Then he repeats Liberal talking points in reference to the Bible. None of it true. Not the way Liberals want you to believe. He says Beck and implies, anyone that believes as Beck, do not listen to the Bible when it talks about "the practice of social justice, the pursuit of peacemaking, the protection of the poor in the formation of community." Sorry, but this is some of the things that most "religious" Liberals, or better yet, those that seek to manipulate the Faithful with the Bible, use to promote Liberal agendas. Problem is, they are not correct in their, uh, shall we say interpretation? Just not.

Now all through this, I have been pointing out what Liberals HATE. Substitute the word HATE, for the word FEAR. You can always know what Liberals FEAR, because that is that of which they attack.

America IS starting to wake up. The Obama Regime is not going to have a good November. The Liberals have governed AGAINST the Will of the PEOPLE for way too long. The PEOPLE are tired of it. We have tried it the Liberal Way, time to get back to basics.

DLA For Sunday 082910

I absolutely love this. I'm not going to mess it up by adding anything to it.

Hey folks,

Here is our Winner of the Display of Logic Award for Sunday 082910.

In front of the Lincoln Memorial in June, a group of students caught up in a moment of spontaneous patriotism broke into song. But the US Park Police were quick to shush the members of the Young America’s Foundation, saying singing is not allowed at the memorial. The song that was stifled? “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

So much for freedom of speech.

At the Martin Luther King, Jr., Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta this July, an official at the memorial to one of the greatest civil rights leaders in the world – my Uncle Martin – removed a bullhorn from the hands of Father Frank Pavone, an internationally recognized leader of the pro-life movement. We were a group more than 100 strong, in Atlanta to declare that abortion is the greatest violation of civil rights in our day. We brought a wreath to lay at Uncle Martin’s grave while we prayed, but due to a King Center official’s barricade at the gravesite, we weren’t allowed. The National Park Service said that would constitute a demonstration.

So much for freedom of assembly.

Symbols of liberty

Americans are hungry to reclaim the symbols of our liberty, hard won by an unlikely group of outnumbered, outgunned, underfunded patriots determined not to live in servitude to the British Empire. If we want to sing the national anthem at a memorial to the man who led this fledgling nation out of slavery, and made my people free, we should be able to send our voices soaring to the heavens.

Glenn Beck’s “Rally to Restore Honor” this Saturday will give us that chance, and that’s why I feel it’s important for me to be there.

Before the words were out of Mr. Beck’s mouth announcing the Aug. 28 rally, The New York Times noted that it would be at the same place and 47 years to the day since my Uncle Martin gave his “I Have a Dream Speech.” When asked why he chose that date in particular, Beck said he had not realized its significance, but in thinking about it, he saw it is an auspicious day to rally for the honor of the American people. He has said, and he’s right, that Martin Luther King didn’t speak only for African-Americans. He spoke for all Americans, and his words still ring true.

Other groups are planning rallies and demonstrations in Washington that day, and freedom of speech gives them the right to do so – and to criticize me for not jumping on their bandwagon. But Uncle Martin’s legacy is big enough to go around.

A rally about character, not politics

Though critics see it as partisan, Beck’s rally is not a political event, per se. Instead, it is designed to be a refreshing exercise of freedom of speech.

The rally will be a celebration of who we are as a nation and a chance to stop for a moment, reflect, reorganize, and re-energize. It’s a chance to think about character; both our character as a nation and our character as individuals.

Delineating ourselves as red state or blue, liberal or conservative, minority or majority, we have not quite reached the day when men and women are “judged not by the color of their skin but on the content of their character.” We are still marching toward that day. As Uncle Martin said, “we cannot turn back.”

The rally will also give America another chance to honor and thank the men and women in our armed forces for the dangers they face every day in our stead. Unless you have a loved one in Iraq or Afghanistan, it’s too easy to forget that tens of thousands of Americans are far from the comforts of home, are directly in harm’s way, facing an enemy who hates us precisely because we are free. And coming just days before the ninth anniversary of 9/11, the day that roused us from our complacency, we could use another wakeup call, one of our own devising.

When I join Beck and all gathered at the Lincoln Memorial this weekend, I will talk about my Uncle Martin and the America he envisioned. I will talk about honor and character and sacrifice. I will be joined by those who represent the diversity of the human race.

On Saturday, Uncle Martin’s dream of personhood and human dignity will resound across America. And the Park Police should consider themselves forewarned: As we stand in the symbolic shadow of the great American who signed the Emancipation Proclamation, we just might sing.

Dr. Alveda King is the director of African-American outreach for Priests for Life, and the founder of King for America.

Speaks for itself. Be right back.
Peter
