Note 2: Is there no end to the idiocy of Glenn Beck? And the perfidy of this man? Millions of people too dumb or blinded by fury to know what sense is, hang on this creep's every word. Here's the latest stream of evil shit issuing from his mouth: he's telling his viewers that they should immediately leave their church if they hear the words "social justice" being preached or urged. Because these words don't mean what they say, they are code words for communism(!) and Nazism(!!). How much more idiotic can one be? But as I've stated so many times before, creatures like Beck influence millions of people. He stokes their hatreds every day, along with all his other colleagues on Fox news.
You need to hear it from his own lips, and I quote:
I'm begging you, your right to religion and freedom to exercise religion and read all of the passages of the Bible as you want to read them and as your church wants to preach them . . . are going to come under the ropes in the next year. If it lasts that long it will be the next year. I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes!Later, Beck held up cards, one with a hammer and sickle and other with a swastika. Listen, there's a religious word for this kind of unmitigated evil. Sin. And that's what this is, sin. If there is a hell, there's a special place in it for guys like Glenn Beck. But let us leave room for charity, we can acquit Beck of moral culpability if he's a lunatic . . . and that's a strong possibility, too. However, I'm going to resist the urge to charity . . . I hope the son of bitch burns in hell.
Communists are on the left, and the Nazis are on the right. That's what people say. But they both subscribe to one philosophy, and they flew one banner. . . . But on each banner, read the words, here in America: 'social justice.' They talked about economic justice, rights of the workers, redistribution of wealth, and surprisingly, democracy.
Update I: Rev James Martin, SJ, the editor of America magazine, blasts Beck saying he's basically telling people to leave Christianity, not to mention of course attacking hundreds of years of Catholic social teaching.

It has been long apparent that there is a serious anti-Christian strain in this country, and I do not mean atheists who deny God's existence, rather those who deny the basic tenets of Christianity, and the other Abrahamic religions as well.
They act as if they wish all religions should exist in a Homeland Patriotic Version, like the Nazi version of the Lutheran Church - while it was still tolerated.
They have been given a home on the mass Media, and they come right into your home, thanks to Murdoch.
And this is one of the objectives of the state of constant war: to engender such constant fear and anxiety, that the weak and isolated "rugged individuals" that float in our society, finally break and flee to the monster-state to protect them...having lost faith in the discredited God of religion!!
"Homeland Patriotic Version"--that's perfect, Montag. You're absolutely right about this. The basic tenets of Christianity are so obvious and plain to me that I'm constantly befuddled and amazed that people who profess this faith, go to church every week, and put money in the plate will still vote for people who defile the very notion of a man who taught us to love our neighbor, a man who's been the model for countless people who actually tried to do this for a couple of thousand years now.
The state of constant war feeds the Beast on so many levels . . . it serves the "religion," "patriotism," "democracy," "capitalism," and national delusion.
