Glenn Beck: Reading Between The Coded Lines
NPR ^ | October 10, 2010 | NPR Staff

Posted on 10/11/2010 5:43:06 PM PDT by dalight

In the book Tears of a Clown: Glenn Beck and the Tea Bagging of America, Milbank says that line is a veiled reference to an obscure Mormon prophecy that Latter-day Saints will rescue the country from certain doom. It's known as the White Horse Prophecy.

Barlow, the Utah State professor, agrees that Beck's use of "hanging by a thread" is likely not coincidental.

But is he trying to deliver a secret coded message to his followers that an uprising is nigh?

Barlow says Beck is making conservative arguments by "drawing on this element that runs through Mormon consciousness."

When the Pravda Radio, aka NPRk, starts with with its ad hominem attacks, it means the person they’re out to get is making very good sense and NPR is afraid its listeners will start listening to other sources of opinion and as a result start thinking for themselves.

NPR? National Public Radio? These folks have gone bonkers. It must be the oncoming tsunami that has caused them to flip out.

Oh No God Help Us All. The good people of the Mormon Church who love, respect and honor the United States of America have once again stepped into the breech to prevent the menace of world socialism and satanic hordes from destroying what's left of our sacred country! May God Bless and protect Glenn Beck and the United States of America!

Amen

“On a mountaintop high above a large city stands the headquarters of a man devoted to the cause of freedom and justice, a war hero who has never stopped fighting against his country’s enemies, a private citizen who is dedicating his life to the struggle against evil men everywhere – Captain Midnight!”

Here in My Home Town, Cincinnati, Ohio, there is an annual Old Tyme Radio Convention. This year I got to participate in a readthrough ("Rebroadcast" without the broadcast!) of a vintage 12950's Gunsmoke. The "guestpro" was Bob Hastings, (Carpenter on the old McCales Navy show) who had a long and busy career in the last days of classic radio drama as well. I can recall his voice on the old "X-1" SF radio series. It was as close as I will ever get to my dream of actually doing radio drama, and a great weekend as well.

The Obama Smear Machine knows no bounds. Hey, I have theological differences with his core beliefs, but he had the guts to stand up and call out the chief liar as having no clothes. It is a measure of the Regime's desperation that they have to use the Liberal Pravda of NPR to cast "What if" conspiracy rumors. I'd rather have a Morman neighbor than the President or his pack of dogs anyday.

Anybody been brave enough to point out that Al Gore, darling of the left, took Red Chinese money illegally through the Buddist Monks, and walked off scott free? When did Al Gore become a Republican?

Sorry to be so hard.... but if “you know who” ever gets access to your message, then you know when he is going over to you know where, and do you know what he will do, to you know whom!

And we both know why he will do it!!!!

Your astute observation: "They have their puppet in the White House, and congress passes their laws without even reading them first." And since Glenn through research coming in from all over the globe, has exposed whom wrote the 2000 plus paged bills the democrat legislators didn't read, these same 'they' are now trying to destroy Glenn and dicredit the tremendous work he's doing.

Sadly, the guillotine deserving mainstream media will not report the facts that Glenn teaches on daily, so the progressive commies who are lusting for a one-world government of socialist empowerment who wrote the two most expensive bills in the history of this antion are not getting exposes anywhere except on FOX News, the Glenn Beck Program! The American people are becoming pissed off without even knowing the full extent to which the democrap aprty is working to end the Republic!
