Glenn Beck: 'No real Christian’ should support Trump
The Hill ^ | 3/24/16 | Mark Hensch

Posted on 03/24/2016 7:11:42 PM PDT by M. Thatcher

Glenn Beck on Thursday suggested that GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump is incompatible with Christians who take their faith seriously.

“No Christian, no real Christian – I don’t mean a judgmental Christian, I mean somebody who is living their faith – no real Christian says, ‘I want that guy, that guy is for me,’” he said during a broadcast of his radio show. "Nobody, nobody.”

Beck also argued America is moving away from its Christian underpinnings, causing myriad moral and social problems nationwide.

“I honestly don’t know what else to do,” he said. "We have got to be a people of principles. We are a Christian nation.

“Are we really?” Beck asked. "Then why are we in so much trouble? Why do we have the same kind of problems that non-Christian nations do with pornography and drugs and everything else?

“We should be setting an example if we’re actually living our Christian faith. The problem is we all say we’re living our Christian faith [and] we’re not living our Christian faith.”

Beck additionally vowed he would challenge any religion or denomination he believes is ignoring its own guiding principles.

“I’ll take on the Jews, and I’ll take on the Lutherans, and I’ll take on the Catholics, and I’ll take on the Mormons,” he said. "I’ll take them all on. You’re damn right. Where are you? You’re not living your principles.

“We’ve got to shore these things up,” added Beck, who backs Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and his GOP presidential campaign. "Somehow or the other, our side didn’t catch the memo.”

Beck has emerged as a vocal critic of Trump, arguing that the GOP front-runner does not represent conservative values.

Cruz, meanwhile, has repeatedly asserted he is the only Republican contender who can keep Trump from securing their party’s presidential nomination.

Glen, don’t tell me who to vote for and I won’t tell you what silly underwear you should wear. On second thought, your big mouth is helping to sink Cruz faster than the National Inquirer, so please keep talking, stupid.

He’s speaking to the die-hard Cruzlim 15%ers who don’t care when Cruz does crap like side with the MSM in blaming Trump for leftist BLM rent-a-mob rioters because “rhetoric”. They’re all for rolling over for the PC left and holding hands and singing kumbaya with the left because they’re “better Christians” than people who call BS on liberals and generally have zero tolerance for libs and BS DC lawyer-speak.

In other words, Beck and his devotees are cucks. Utah is New Cuckistan.

Sorry Glenn, what kind of Christian would accept his or her spouse to work for the CFR that wants to undermine the sovereignty of The United States?

Cruz will rue the day he allowed Glenn in his orbit.

You think a guy who uses naked pics of his opponents wife in campaign ads is going to have scruples about partnering with the likes of beck?

Mormons are not Christians. They are totally irrational-—as Beck is proving.

I am a profound Christian and Trump is my favorite guy for now——not because he is “perfect”—no one is—but because he promotes Common Sense (pure survival) of the greatest, most free nation in the history of the World.

“Non” judgmental people like Beck are suicidal and evil—Truth is CLEAR and you NEVER blur the truth-—NEVER. You NEVER support evil, vile behaviors to little children-—you NEVER pretend evil, vile worldview (islam) is “good” and “compatible” with REASON. It is an evil, irrational, sexist, vile, pederastic worldview.

Everyone knows that God designed us to be REASONED Beings. Without Reason, we are nothing but cattle........and that is what I see Beck promoting-—”No Reason Allowed”....no discernment of Good and Evil (Wisdom). NO Common Sense. Common Sense is what created this country and Freedom (Natural Law Theory/God’s Laws). NOTHING ELSE is compatible with Rule of Law-—like evil islam and communism.
