Faith-Based Group Fires Back at Glenn Beck

One hundred thousand faithful Americans are telling Glenn Beck that enough is enough. This summer as Beck travels the United States solo and with Bill O'Reilly, Faithful America--a multi-faith justice organization--has rallied its members to push back against Beck's anti-Christian-social-justice message. When Beck makes stops in South Carolina, New York, New Jersey, and Washington D.C., the group's provocative new ad will follow his trail and challenge his words as “piecemeal gospel” on local Christian radio stations.....

He’s exposed their game. He’s shining a light on them and they don’t like it.

He’s doing what no one else in television is doing. God protect him.

Of course it’s not a “faith based group” it’s a socialist Soros funded smear group.

Beck blew them out of the water on his radio show this morning.

The forces of evil do not like Glenn.

God Bless Glenn and protect him as he fights for the truth and for America.

The premise of this blog is wrong. Beck is right.

He is saying is that this so-called “social justice” gospel attempts to turn over our personal responsibility for good works to the collective, i.e. the government.

It’s a socialist/Marxist ploy to twist scripture.

Jesus spoke often of our responsibility to take care of each other, to help our fellow man. But he was NEVER talking to government. He was talking to individuals, preaching individual responsibility.

This article is socialist propaganda.

Wow, 100,000 "faithful" Americans!

Encouraging, that means only 1 out of 3,000 is an outright Socialist/Progressive! LOL

Let 'em have it, Glenn!

Sir, you are dead on right! These commies will feign anything and anybody to discredit those speaking out for truth!

"Faithful America--a multi-faith justice organization--has rallied its members."

Progressive Propaganda is an understatement:

What is Faithful America?

Faithful America is an online community of tens of thousands of citizens motivated by faith to take action on the pressing moral issues of our time. We come from diverse faith traditions but share a unifying commitment: to restore community and uphold the common good in America and across the globe. In service to this core commitment, we seek to:

* end poverty and promote economic security for all
* promote peace and restore America's commitment to human rights and diplomacy
* prevent the catastrophic effects of climate change
* counter hate speech and misinformation in the media pertaining to people of faith
* work for welcoming communities where immigrants and people of all faiths are welcome


By speaking out, mobilizing and taking action in the public square, we are building a powerful grassroots movement to put justice and the common good back at the center of the American values debate. At this critical juncture, when our actions or inaction will have profound and permanent global consequences, our faiths demand nothing less.

Beck's anti-Christian-social-justice message

Since when is he anti-Christian? The social justice message needs to be exposed for what it is. Reallocation of wealth, hand in hand with the socialists....

...prevent the catastrophic effects of climate change

Faithful America was founded on June 15, 2004, when Americans of faith raised $36,000 to place an advertisement on Arabic-language satellite television expressing regret to Muslims for the abuse committed by Americans at Abu Ghraib prison.

...Since its foundation, Faithful America has mobilized its tens of thousands of members to take action on issues ranging from poverty to health care to Iraq

These people are as liberal as it gets. They are the liberal far-left with a Progressive agenda. Tell me if you see anything about abortion, homosexuality and pornography as part of the immorality they are fighting.

These people are counterfeits.
