Let the Duel Begin...
Glenn Beck has been 'covering' himself for quite a few years behind this little 'religion' thing.
Constantly pointing out his 'friends' and 'ties' with the fundamentalist Dominionist set.
He's like "Howdy Doody meets John Birch Society meets Armageddon-R-US"; a trifecta of testosterone bottled and wrapped inna US flag, sitting on a bible.
Or a Book of Mormon.
Or whatever that mixture of "White Horse Prophecy" plus "shock jock" passes for 'free speech in the name of religion' (make sure to note that 501c3 on your 'donation' ThankUVeryMuch) today.
It's called tribalism and nationalism disguised as a religion.
Known as Dominionists.
Using religious ideology as a form of national government. A theocracy.
Definitely UN-American.
From today's 'message', it seems Glenn has decided to cut bait with any sort of 'normal' Republican entity, and double-down with his Hagee.
Will Glenn renounce his membership in the Mormon religion?
Can't have it both ways.
You are either a Christian or a Mormon.
Nothing 'slightly pregnant' about this.
We're talking a REAL 'apples and oranges' situation of utmost importance.
It has much to do with 'good and evil' ~

Let's Review: Dominionists and Their Enablers
Many were wondering about the latest episode of Beck's show, with him appearing before the camera at the beginning, dressed in a rather ill-fitted brown 'robe' and fingering a rather over-embellished 'rod' (which was hand-made for him by an eager fan).
Well, wonder no more. This interview will clear up any questions you might have.
Here is Glenn Beck interviewing a familiar figure from the "Armaggedon and End Timers Club" , John Hagee ~ 'minister' of the Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Tx.
He is also a powerful figure in social battles ~ pick a social issue to scream about, and Hagee's money and backing is behind it.
He is the face of fundamentalist Dominionists. And a real bane to mainstream religion.
There are 7 sections to this ~ take your time.
Stop, walk away and go smell the flowers for a bit.
But, do try to go through the whole thing.
It will clear up many questions many of us have about Glenn, his motives, and his enablers.
