OK.... > Tonight, we're going to spend an hour talking about faith, because this has been so grossly distorted by progressives How has faith been distorted by progressives? I disagree with this point. > Most people will tell you now: *Oh, we're not a Christian nation. We're a Judeo-Christian. What? These people were deists, they were atheists*. Most were deists. I think some were atheists. And if most people would say that, then most people would be right. However, i'm not convinced that MOST people would say that. I bet most people think we were a nation founded by Christians, and established as a Christian nation. Just a guess. > America, if you want to restore our country, we have to look at the foundations, find out how we were built, and repeat the process. Again, I disagree. First, that our country needs "restoration", and secondly that we need to repeat the process of our foundation. In fact, I don't even know what the hell that means...does he want a second revolution? > We also need to find the things that unite us. Hey, I agree! > I don't care if you're a Republican, Democrat or independent: Faith, hope and charity we can unite on. Oops, and now he's wrong again....we cannot unite on FAITH, obviously...unless we all agree to ignore faith...then we can agree on it. > Politics will divide us. That's the nature of the game. > We are on the verge of collapse. Let's rebuild it. And here's his biggest bullshit point. We are not on the verge of collapse, and this is classic fear rhetoric...meant to get followers riled up. I see this shit all the time in right wing speak. WE are always on the verge of this, or the cusp of that, blah blah blah. Sooooo...in just this small blurb of Beck, I'd agree with the folks who have said that he's pretty much full of shit. Or....maybe he was just off his game in this piece? -- No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown In the end there is one dance you'll do alone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:325981 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
