I'd venture to guess that millions of people in his audience had never before had an introduction to the philosophical antecedents of modern political thought and legal theory, and now, because of Glenn Beck, they crave a deeper understanding. For which, they may go to Bill Bennett, and Mark Levin, among others. And for which, the latter ought to be thanking Mr. Beck, not attacking him in a manner redolent of the kind of envy they both purport to reject as conservatives.

That's it. That's exactly it. He's like the evangelist who comes through once a year and gets everyone fired up. Next Sunday you happily go back to your pastor, Rush, Sean, and Mark.

As someone else pointed out, Glenn works from the power of epiphany. A lot of us come from that same position, we're new to all this. We aren't all college graduate intellectuals. When Glenn says it's not about the parties, he wants us to understand it's about US, the electorate, and those who didn't used to vote at all. We have let this happen with our inattention.

God is at work in this nation and he is using secular voices. Mark is Jewish, focus on law. Sean is Catholic,focus on politics. Rush is Protestant, focus on culture. Glenn is Mormon, focus on economics. I don't think that's coincidence. I think it's important.

Mark, I love you, but Glenn's voice is needed. If we left the GOP to their own devices Mitt Romney will be the nominee is 2012. RON Paul just won the CPAC straw poll for crying out loud. Five years ago I did not know there was anything wrong with those things. There are a lot of people out there you should be criticizing other than Glenn. And you should have spoken at CPAC. Your presence would have done a lot more good than the JBS did harm.

I will bet money that Beck comes out in favor of Mitt at some point before the convention.

You think God is using these secular voices because of their religion? God is going to use different religions to get HIS TRUTH out? You think that's what we are about here - learning about our culture, the law, etc.?

No where in the Bible does it say - learn all you can about the world! We are to learn about His Kingdom and seek after that. And, when He does raise up someone, that person will give all the glory to God. If you want to learn about economics - go to the Bible! Learn His Way, not man's. And His way is very different than man's.
