Glen Beck announced today that his "Restoring Courage" event will be held in Israel, August 24th, at the southern wall of the Temple Mount. The event, which was first announced a few days ago, is now far more significant given Obama's speech yesterday, in which he called for Israel to return to its pre 1967 borders. This event is going to be huge, no doubt about it. And I'm wondering who will be the first GOP candidate to annonce that he, or she, will attend.
BECK is now a POLITICIAN?
Who knew!!
Is it time?
I know he has managed to IGNORE Mormon stuff so far; so I don't want to change the dynamic of this thread; but, as a CRAZY!! in a pack of them, here goes:
MORMON
ATTITUDES OF SUPERIORITY
1. I’m Superior; I have a special gift of the holy Ghost -- you don’t!
2. I’m Superior; I have God’s true priesthood power -- you don’t! 3. I’m Superior; I can go in God’s secret Temple -- you can’t! 4. I’m Superior; I’ve been Endowed with special Gifts and Knowledge -- you’re just normal! 5. I’m Superior; I’ll have my family with me in heaven -- you’ll be with strangers! 6. I’m Superior; I’m becoming a God -- you aren’t! 7. I’m Superior; My women know their place as servants of man and yours don’t. 8. I’m Superior; YOUR creeds are wrong because they come from man - mine comes from God (you can find each one printed in our Scriptures). 9. I’m Superior; I don’t HAVE a creed - I’ve got 13 Articles of Faith. 10. I'm Superior; I have 4 "Bibles"-- the standard works (5 if you count the JST) -- you've only got one: in as far as it is translated correctly. 11. I’m Superior; I can lie with impunity about such things as church membership, church growth, church doctrine, church history, church influence, etc. — -- You can’t. 12. I’m Superior; I am right (everybody knows) when I say 'evangelical' Christians are lunatics -- -- You’re a hideous narrow-minded bigot, who is persecuting me by practicing discrimination by saying I'm not a Christian.
13. I'm Superior; I have a testimony about a prophet -- you don't. 14. I'm Superior; I have a Scripture-producing Amos 3:7 prophet -- you don't 15. I’m Superior; I have a Living Prophet who talks to god every day -- you have a dim-witted hireling of Satan who only talks to himself. 16. I'm Superior; I have my calling & election made sure -- you don't. 17. I’m Superior; I have magic underwear to protect me from the bogey man -- you don’t. 18. I’m Superior; I have secret clasps and grips to give the angel so I get admitted to the celestial kingdom -- you don’t ;so you can’t. 19. I'm Superior; I know secret handshake codes for afterlife entrances-- you don't. 20. I’m Superior; I will see Joseph Smith setting on the right hand of GOD, when I get to Mormon heaven, and he will recognize me and judge me favorably -- You’re on your own; when you get to wherever you’re going! 21. I’m Superior; I’m going to hie to Kolob -- you’re going to who knows where. 22. I’m Superior; I get to have a harem and act like a celestial stud for time and all eternity -- you don’t. 23. I’m Superior; I have sun stones, moon stones, sky stones, cloud stones, Saturn stones, and the evil eye of Osirus guarding my temple -- You have nothing but a stupid cross.
24. I’m Superior; My church has billions in assets stashed away -- yours has taken a stupid vow of poverty. 25. I'm Superior; Last - we have the power to keep a whole race out of our priesthood if we wanted to reinsert our 148-year legacy (we ARE still keeping an entire GENDER at bay!) 26. I'm superior; I have the "higher law" -- everyone else "lives under the "lesser law' because I say so...(over and over). Revision 46.5
Semi-Official creed of the EXclusive club of Freeper Flying Inmans.

" My point is, ... this thread isn't about Romney. It isn't about anything now..but that's par for the course once a thread has been hijacked.And YOU HIJACKED it in 17 as was pointed out to you just a few posts ago.
And you attacked a FR member with false accusations.
I tried to read your posts, but after getting the agenda behind them, they bored me tremendously.
Kind of like an Obama speech, or listening to Schumer, Barney Frank or Harry Reid talking.
But I did notice that your were posting as if your were Jim Thompson, only infused with narcissistic arrogance.
To: Admin ModeratorI notice you don't mention if this one is reasonable or not:2). And if you don't change your ways of mentioning "actionable" or "libelous" posts - it'll be you who won't be here.Noted. That is reasonable.
1). We'll decide who belongs here - thanks.A Jim Thompson you are not.
#10 I would hope that Gov Sarah Palin doesnt appear to give any credence to this sham...
OOOooohhh!
That Nana IS a Crazy Bird!!
I suppose it hasn't ocurred to you that instead of ignoring the posts that inflame you and moving on, or injecting a reasonable point of debate to the posts by whom you describe as "lesser lights"...{pretty condescending description, BTW} you have Instead attacked by name and accused FReepers of libel { SEE: The Law: Libel Liability: Test for Public Figures}. Beck and Mitt ARE public figures.
Your attempt at trying to disprove the label of Joseph Smith as "rapist" was pitable. If you were to really look into his history, you would find he used coercion and threats against any woman who denied him sex.
You have attempted to "school" long-time FReepers on not only the rules of the forum but the wishes of the forum owner and by doing so have provided everyone reading this thread with a portrait of yourself as one who is indulging in "self aggrandizement".
You state: "I have been mostly ignoring crap on this thread"...and I state that a good deal of the "crap" has come from YOUR keyboard.
Whether it was your intention to paint yourself as a defender of Romney on a forum where the owner has made it plain that there will BE no defense of Romney, you have done so.
The Flying Inmans have done battle on FR against the religion of the Romneys, the Becks and now the Huntsmans for several years and faced opponents who have attempted to see us banned, and who have threatened FR with the loss of their donations if that did not succeed. We have been called Nazis, jihadists, arsonists, and of course your favorite, "bigots" innumerable times. This is nothing new to us.
You really have brought nothing to the conversation except an unusually vivid picture of someone who lets his alligator mouth overrun his hummingbird hind end.
STRAW!
Git yer Straw for YOUR strawman right here!
Golly!
I will now forever wonder what this thread would look like if you'd really put your heart into it!
You're damned right it's not. So knock it off!! And if you are threatening anyone with any kind of legal action, you're headed for a permanent zot! Quit pinging me to your damned flame wars!!
Very nice overview, GF, from a veteran poster.
Read the link. It is pretty ok. I can't agree 100% but it gets to the deeper issues that we face when confronting Islam.
I believe ultimately, Islam has to come down in a gale of laughter, which it cannot withstand, as the Cartoon thing showed. But, it will take courage we haven't found yet.
Attack Mormonism by attacking the tenets of the faith, which are a hard sell to anyone.
Attack Romney through his record, but, just understand, the guy is going nowhere.. he stood up and made a horses tail out of himself trying to defend RomneyCare and it was the most impassioned defense of ObamaCare made yet.
Newt fried himself in exactly the same way.. stick a fork in both of them.. they are done.. only the MSM believes they are relevant. I lost all interest in Newt when he supported Dede Scozzafava. But, his attack on Ryan, then support of the individual mandate woke everyone up. But, in the end, as much as he sucks (Romney).. I will take him over the guy in the Whitehouse.. but I won't like it.
And frankly, If they all showed up in Israel on August 24th, I would be cool with it. After losing hope, I have secured the possibility of getting there.. but not on any of the expensive tours.. and not to any of the Christian events.. but, I loved the Restoring Honor Rally and I think this is important too..
Some folks rightly wonder if attacking our President's policy from Foreign soil is acceptable for a Presidential Candidate.. I just happen to think the policy is such a horror that in this case it justifies it. Just as if some president in the future would propose destroying the Vatican, yea.. be there and say no.. seriously. I am sure lots of folks would say good riddance.. but for me.. I like the Pope. The institution is on balance a source of good and I will defend it, just the same way as I ran to Washington when the Dems were organizing to make Iraq into another Vietnam. And this, even though, we armed and trained the Iraqi's so that they are potentially the most formidable force in the Mid-East other than Israel. This may come back to haunt.
Yet YOU are the one who brought romney into the thread, bucko. Its right there in #17 for all to see. Yet you lecture us on doing the exact thing that YOU STARTED.
Nope, the only silliness is on your part.
Next time maybe YOU will stick to a thread topic - instead of accusing others of what YOU started.
Good enough. I am familiar with these legal terms. I have been encouraged not to discuss the issue.
This is the first time I have crossed the Flying Inmans, and you have clearly and cogently stated the chaos that follows you. I am now and will continue to be a supporter of this site. I like some of the things that I have seen you post, but on balance I don't care for the lot of you. If that gets me banned, then I will join that crowd.
It's not a popularity contest. When there are false messages being sent out by the millions day by day by the mormon church, bringing the truth to light is serious business.
Attack Romney through his record...
I have: WE have.
Some folks seem to get upset when we do that and fly off the handle.
Quit while you’re behind doesn’t register with you does it...
WHY not?
Is it our Substance or Style that get your sensitivities up??
Uhm, TN asked why Beck didn’t join the military, your response...
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2722645/posts?page=17#17
You injected mormonism into this discussion, not TN.
However unpalatable the topic may be to you, you are the one who initiated this thread hijack by using a pernicious and thinly veiled swipe.
Sorry, epic fail in attempting to accuse others of the actions you took.
