WOW! Glenn Beck: Nobody Can Understand the Moses-Like Burden Ted Cruz Carries

Radio host Glenn Beck told his audience last month that Ted Cruz was “anointed for this time.”

Beck also brought a fasting child on stage in Utah and declared, “This is the priesthood rising.”

On his television program last week, Beck told his studio audience that he sent an encouraging note to Ted Cruz a couple weeks back because nobody knows what it is like to carry the Moses-like burden that Cruz bears. Transcript via RWW:

“Imagine being in a position to where you believe it, you believe the country is at the end, you believe that God is telling you, ‘Step up to the plate.’ You believe that you, just like Moses, may be slow in speech and not the perfect guy, but you know if you get in there, you can actually do something and you’ve tried to stay loyal. Do you know what that life is like for two years of tearing yourself apart, of ‘please Lord, just tell me, just tell me, just tell me, I’ll do it, just tell me.’ And the burden of I blew it? Oh my gosh, I don’t want to be them.”

Wow!

What is the Old Testament’s position on false prophets?

I think Joseph Smith found out...

Mental illness is never pretty,but Beck’s affliction is painful to see.

Except for me.

I’ve been nuts for a LONG time.

At least since there was a rich Mormon in the race 4 years ago.

Other World “leaders” speak about “peace and security”:

Klaatu: I am leaving soon, and you will forgive me if I speak bluntly.

The universe grows smaller every day, and the threat of aggression by any group, anywhere, can no longer be tolerated. There must be security for all, or no one is secure.

 

Now, this does not mean giving up any freedom, except the freedom to act irresponsibly. Your ancestors knew this when they made laws to govern themselves and hired policemen to enforce them.

We, of the other planets, have long accepted this principle. We have an organization for the mutual protection of all planets and for the complete elimination of aggression.

 

The test of any such higher authority is, of course, the police force that supports it. For our policemen, we created a race of robots. Their function is to patrol the planets in spaceships like this one and preserve the peace. In matters of aggression, we have given them absolute power over us. This power cannot be revoked. At the first sign of violence, they act automatically against the aggressor. The penalty for provoking their action is too terrible to risk. The result is, we live in peace, without arms or armies, secure in the knowledge that we are free from aggression and war. Free to pursue more... profitable enterprises.

 

Now, we do not pretend to have achieved perfection, but we do have a system, and it works. I came here to give you these facts. It is no concern of ours how you run your own planet, but if you threaten to extend your violence, this Earth of yours will be reduced to a burned-out cinder.

 

Your choice is simple: join us and live in peace, or pursue your present course and face obliteration.

 

We shall be waiting for your answer. The decision rests with you."

 

 

Helen Benson: I need to know what's happening.
Klaatu: This planet is dying. The human race is killing it.
Helen Benson: So you've come here to help us.
Klaatu: No, *I* didn't.
Helen Benson: You said you came to save us.
Klaatu: I said I came to save the Earth. 
Helen Benson: You came to save the Earth... from us. You came to save the Earth *from* us.
Klaatu: We can't risk the survival of this planet for the sake of one species.
Helen Benson: What are you saying?
Klaatu: If the Earth dies, you die. If you die, the Earth survives. There are only a handful of planets in the cosmos that are capable of supporting complex life...
Helen Benson: You can't do this.
Klaatu: ...this one can't be allowed to perish.
Helen Benson: We can change. We can still turn things around.
Klaatu: We've watched, we've waited and hoped that you *would* change.
Helen Benson: Please...
Klaatu: It's reached the tipping point. We have to act.
Helen Benson: Please...
Klaatu: We'll undo the damage you've done and give the Earth a chance to begin again.
Helen Benson: Don't do this. Please, we can change. We can change.
Klaatu: The decision is made. The process has begun.
Helen Benson: Oh God!

 

Oh What a Savior

Rasputin-like.

Nice one.

There’s some kind of pull. More than a groupie. Like a Twirling dervish.

Anyway, it’s beyond weird and more like pathological. Definitely off-putting.

[Elsie]

Well what do we expect from a Mormon that thinks the Bible is a joke??

About the same as one who does NOT think it's a joke.

[Elsie]

Tony Blair was required, AFAIK, to be a member of the Church of England while in office.

Does the Prime Minister of Britain have to be a Christian?

 

 

Seems unlikely...   https://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100419100432AAS5WNW

[Elsie]

the bill to remove the Church of England as the official “religion” was numbered 666.

 

Oh??

 

 

Why can't I find anything about it?

It is too late now, we need more righteous anger and wrath these days, things are just so far gone.

What America needs is...

REPENTANCE!!!

[SaveFerris]

Dunno - keep looking

[SaveFerris]

Perhaps the more accurate statement was he was a member of the Anglican Church.

There was something about it long ago, but it’s been too long.

That being said, I wouldn’t rely too much on Yahoo! Answers. There are people out there that think Booker T Hillery was innocent.

[SaveFerris]

[Oh??]

Gee, I found lots of links. You may have to make just a wee bit more effort. And no, you’ll have to find it yourself.

Slow down with the attitude and maybe learn something.

You can be a helpful resource, when you’re not just on a mission to be a smart-aleck.

[VerySadAmerican]

“Slow of speech”? Is he talking about the pauses between each sentence?

[VerySadAmerican]

You remember how we got angry that Clinton was renting out the Lincoln bedroom and giving people rides on AF One? Well, I just learned the other day that in 1976 Ford gave delegates rides on AF One. They’re all just alike.

Except Trump has his own AF One.

[VerySadAmerican]

A friend told me that he was sitting in his office one day and he could see through the door that some guy was talking to his secretary. After a few seconds she came in and said the man said that God had sent him. So my friend told her to send him in.

The man walked into the office and said “God told me you were going to give me twenty dollars.”

My friend said “I don’t doubt it one bit that God told you that I was going to give you twenty dollars. But He hasn’t told me yet and if He does I’ll look you up.” Then he politely ask the man to leave.

[VerySadAmerican]

I fully expect Beck to be taken down by a SWAT team one day.

[SaveFerris]

He wasn't helping David Cerullo raise $100 million dollars through constant late-night infomercials, was he?

[Pelham]

First, you take one part bipolar disorder, mix in a healthy shot of Mormon theology, shake well, then top it off with delusions of grandeur. Serve over ice. That’s the Glenn Beck Cocktail. Cheers!
