When you learn about mormonISM, get back to me.
That ‘confection” has everything to do with Beck’s support of Romney (regardless of what he is saying).
Beck will endorse Romney formally and it will be BECAUSE they are both mormon.
—That’s your take on Glenn Beck and Mitt Romney. I am incapable of caring less about their professed religious affiliations. —
Problem is, Pyx, that for a mormon they go hand in hand. I know a lot of mormons. Every single one of them is in the tank for Romney, even though they can’t really articulate why.
—My own criticisms focus instead on Glenn Beck’s behavioural flaws towards his audience ...—
I think it is BECAUSE of his support of Mitt based on religion rather than political qualifications. It leaves Beck kinda stuck. He can’t say “Mitt is great because he is a good, obedient tithing Mormon”, and there is nothing else for him to articulate that is convincing. He’s left with emotionalism, or avoiding the subject altogether. And the latter is not an option.
IOW, his religion is a foundational reason WHY he is exhibiting those “behavioral flaws”.
At least, that is my prognosis. ;)
My own criticisms focus instead on Glenn Beck’s behavioural flaws towards his audience and Mitt Romney’s continual shifting of political positions.

BOTH OF WHICH ARE A RESULT OF THEIR SHARED MORMONISM. I’m not kidding. Arrogance, entitlement and flip flopping are all a reslut of Mormon theology and culture. I can give you details.
Been there, done that, read the book of Mormon, saw the endowment movie, wore the holy underwear.
