Would someone be able to tell me the difference between what Glenn Beck has and Macular Degeneration?
Dunno, Lg, but I did find this on macular dystrophy:

Glenn has a to-do list for each and every person to take on leading up to the August 28th Restoring Honor Rally in Washington DC. Pray on your knees once a day. Covenant with God that you are going to stop telling lies - ANY lie. Do not tell an untruth - even to yourself! Think you can do these tasks and more like them?

Change: Freedom of ‘worship’
In the Constitution, it’s the ‘Freedom of Religion’. The President has quietly changed the wording of this phrase to ‘Freedom of worship’ which to some may seem like a matter of semantics, but Glenn says there is much more than just a word game. What difference can one word make? Glenn explains on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio, FREE Insider Extreme clip)

Obama’s assassination list?
A story that somehow slipped Glenn’s radar screen - the President (according to the oh-so conservative Salon.com) has a “presidential assassination program,” where “American citizens are targeted for killings far away from any battlefield, based exclusively on unchecked accusations by the Executive Branch that they’re involved in Terrorism.” This is particularly baffling coming from Obama, who complained about listening in on phone calls to terrorists. Now he wants to shoot Americans suspected of terrorism? Glenn explains on radio today. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)
Glenn going blind?
One of Glenn’s favorite speeches he’s ever given happened in Salt Lake City over the weekend at the final American Revival event. Of course the media only picked up on Glenn talking about the problems with his eyes - check out this FREE CLIP of that segment - but you can catch the rest of the speech on Insider Extreme. All the American Revival archives, along with all the Beck University classes to date and the latest Czar-at-Large episode with Brian Sack are all now available on demand for members.

Wow, Obozo is losing Salon?

That one nearly knocked me off my chair.
Glenn is kicking behind again today.
Hey! I would like to know about Mrs.Calabash. Please tell me.
I am old so I remember the Jimmy Durante show on TV. His sign-off line was “Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are.” I was a kid at the time, and when I asked my mother she told me that Mrs. Calabash was a name that Durante was using for his deceased wife.
The real issue is where are the protests from Code Pink and International A.S.W.W.E.R.?
He very nicely exposed the propaganda techniques being used against him and others. Also the fact that the NAZIs learned propaganda techniques from American Progressives. He has done that before and used the NAZIs own words to prove it.
Thanks very much!
I spot the propaganda almost instinctively now. I don’t always put it all together quickly but I do spot it.
For instance, the black panthers case was making a bee line for the oval office when suddenly the NAACP decided out of the blue to vote on their idiotic meaningless resolution.
Prayers up for Beck’s eyes.
I read that too. Here’s the context within which he mentions us.
From Chapter 12, page 80, 81:
“Name-calling also works like a charm.” He pointed to a different patron with every smear that followed. “There’s a Birther, and a Truther, two Paulites, a John Bircher, a Freeper, a white supremacist, a pothead, three tea-partiers, and that guy there is the jackpot, a Holocaust denier. From there it’s easy to roll you all up together so that no one in their right mind would want to join you. Why would they? According to the network news, you’re all borderline-insane, ignorant, paranoid, uneduated, hate-mongering, tinfoi-hat-wearing, racist conspiracy theorists.
“That’s how they keep your eyes off the big picture. All the while the gradual overthrow that you’re so passionate about exposing is happening right under your nose. Yet you stand around here preaching to the choir, as if that’s going to do anything at all to stop it.
“There’s no respect for you in Washington. They laugh at you. You say you want a revolution? That Constitution the lady was holding up a while ago? It gives you the power to revolt at every single election. Do you realize that in a couple of weeks every last seat in the U.S. House of Representatives will be up for grabs? And the presidency? And one-third of the Senate seats?”
It will not end with me.
There exist several types of macular degeneration that affect children, teenagers or adults, that are commonly known as early onset or juvenile MD. Many of these types are hereditary and are looked upon as macular dystrophies instead of degeneration. “Degeneration” is the term used for descriptions of the diseases of age related macular degeneration, which is more common in the older generation.
Macular dystrophy is a condition which appears earlier in life, and causes a reduction in central vision found in the macula, the central portion of the retina. Macular dystrophies are usually inherited in a predictable pattern within families. There is a genetically determined abnormality causing either the loss of the normal pigment associated with the photoreceptors in the retina or the accumulation of an abnormal protein.

Wow, Glenn is an inspiration. The first thing I thought of when this was reported was his passion for reading , self -education and teaching us. He has 100 times more character than the people running our country.
I think, maybe the bust was Caeser?
Glenn revealed today that his has been diagnosed with macular degeneration. His Dr. said he may...or may not, lose his sight in the next year.
Unbelievable how we are challenged in our lives.
Rush loses his hearing, Glenn losing his sight? If only Pelousi would lose her voice?
God Bless us All...
G
Pelousey lost her mind. Does that count?
My ex wife’s grandfather had some kind of macular degeneration.
He had a chart on his kitchen wall that looked a bit like a target. He stood just a few feet away to chart the affected vision for reporting to his doctor.
Oh — Ceaser, yes you’re probably right, Thanks!!
Glenn had me in tears at the end. Prayers up for him!!!
