Glenn Beck: The New LDS Apologist?

To the headline: you betcha!

[dalebert]

who wrote this...

[Migraine]

...and most of his US history musings are liberally laced with some of the Freemen Institute/Cleon Skousen premises and conclusions, distinctly mormon apologia.

[WestwardHo]

Visit a Mormon bookstore and take a look at their maps of early America.
“A man is, as he thinks.”

[Hodar]

If you can’t attack the message; then attack the messenger.

[Monkey Face]

And your argument is....?
Glenn Beck is not allowed to be human because he is a “MORMON?”

Islam is the greatest threat we have. Why are you whining over this?

[infidel29]

I don’t know about Glenn and his methods or motives, but I’m pretty sure it’s provable that the left is constantly rewriting history. Hence the quote: “History is kind to those who write it.”

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

If this article truly states Beck’s position, then his silliness flows from a silly theology. However, Mormons are generally political and socially conservative and this renders them helpful. Ignore Mormon theological silliness when we are dealing with grave political or social matters. “We hang together or we hang separately.”

11th Commandment.

[WAW]

Amen...We have bigger problems than to even discuss Mormonism.

Mormonism isn’t a death cult. Radical Islam is. Radical environmentalism is. Communism is.

“If you can’t attack the message; then attack the messenger.”

Fine, tell us about Jackson County, Missouri.

The Mormon sponsored research into the DNA of both the North and South American Indian population, ruled out any connection between the ancient Hebrew (Semitic) peoples and the peoples both living and dead, in the “New World.”

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

You mean: “Thou shalt not speak ill of fellow Republicans?” Agree. We need to follow that rule right now! Our country is teetering on the abyss.

As a Native American, I'm personally aware of more than a few attempts to alter ancient history in the Americas:

1. Kennewick Man
   
2. Pre-columbian burials in North Dakota which show the distinct presence of TB in human remains, a disease supposedly unknown before the arrival of the white man.
   
3. Iron and bronze artifacts, also found in pre-columbian burials, a technology also supposedly unknown in the Great Plains before the arrival of the white man.
   
4. A more than ample amount of evidence that southwestern tribes including the Hopi and Anasazi practiced cannibalism and fairly sophisticated warfare, practices also supposedly unknown among people in that region before the arrival of the evil white man.

I'm not familiar enough with archaeological orthodoxy and fables connected with every tribe in America, but I am familiar with enough of them to know that the so-called experts don't tell, much less know, the whole truth.

Why do you suppose there has been no hue and cry lately to return all human remains, regardless of tribal origin, to the nearest tribe claiming ownership without regard to further study or actual facts? Hint: It has nothing to do with actual archaeological study and everything to do with preserving politically correct fables.

Great job posting another thread so we can all come out and bash those on our side.

[Pete]

I watch Glenn beck on Fox when I can. I don’t hear very much about Mormonism. I do hear quite a bit about the Progressive agenda and the danger associated with it. Also, I hear about the Founders. If he was coming on Fox everyday and discussing the things you mentioned, I think you would have a case.

[Monkey Face]

Thank you!

Islam, “the religion of peace,” is neither, and before we address our hatreds/biases for those who have a different view, and live in this country, we need to make sure that we aren’t beset from the outside/inside by a foreign invader.

The Muslims will never quit trying to subdue the world, and anyone who thinks Islam is “peaceful” is in denial.

Nothing, and I repeat NOTHING, is more important that expelling the killers from the Sacred Soil of America.

Were I young enough, I would be on the front lines. I would be wherever I needed to be in order to prevent the insidious invasion of Islam onto the shores of America.

[flowerplough]

Islam the greatest threat?

No. The greatest threat is debt, and a government of idiots who keep on borrowing.

[jonrick46]

This beating the drum of Mormon hatred is just the tired old religious bigotry that has gone on against Mormons for decades. Give me a break!
