Discernment indeed.
A few months ago the Spirit of Discernment got me wondering the same thing: “What is this guy Beck all about?”
I started seaching out Mormon prophecies just on a hunch. I soon came up with Joe Smith’s 1843 White Horse Prophecy which, in essence, says that one day in the future the US Constitution would be hanging by a thread and the LDS church would ride to the rescure like a great white horse.
The only inconsistency is that Beck seems to mock the importance of presidential NBC eligibility per the Constitution.
But I still think overall that Mormon prophecy and greed are his two main motives.
And being a corporate worm also.
I think you may be right. I haven’t looked into Mormon stuff, but the “spiritual” bent to so many of Beck’s shows makes me think it would be wise to do so.
