Friday August 13, 2010First Rush, then Coulter, and Now Glenn Beck ... Whats Happening?
Commentary by John-Henry Westen OReilly asked Beck, Do you believe that gay marriage is a threat to the country in any way? Beck replied, No, I don't, adding sarcastically, Will the gays come and get us? The Glenn Beck revelation comes on the heels of two other startling announcements by conservative celebrity pundits in the last couple of weeks. Earlier this week it was announced that conservative pundit Ann Coulter would headline a fundraiser for the homosexual activist group within the Republican Party, GOProud. And on July 29, although his position had been revealed before, talk radio host Rush Limbaugh again came out in favor of homosexual civil unions, while being opposed to same-sex marriage. To be fair, it must be pointed out that Beck said he was looking at the big picture and promoting faith, the answer to all such things. Moreover, he added that he was okay with gay marriage with a caveat. As long as we are not going down the road of Canada, where it now is a problem for churches to have free speech. If they can still say, hey, we oppose it, he said. But even to have suggested, as strongly as he did, that he was not opposed to gay marriage is detrimental and demonstrates a small picture approach. Beck seems like a good guy. Hes thoughtful. Hes right on many matters in the culture war. For instance, when OReilly followed up and asked if Beck thought abortion threatened the United States, Beck replied dramatically in the affirmative. Abortion is killing, its killing, youre killing someone, he said. So I thought itd be worth it to calmly and persuasively share concerns with Beck on his approach. He may not read my email, but Im sure if enough pro-family folks were to get the message to him, hed reconsider his outlook.

I don’t condone it either.
I just have more important personal life issues to cope with.
Trust me there is allot of sin and temptations out there for all of us.
In my life gay people, other than Obama just are not part of the issue.
Got too many other sinners to keep off the property.
I DON’T SUPPORT THE GAY LIFE!
And I don’t like rainbows anymore but I would not run over a gay couple with my car either.
Now if I see a FR anti-Catholic on the sidewalk ya might have to counsil me brother.
By the way...this is Beowulf’s husband, not Beowulf...she doesn’t want me writing on her forum without a disclaimer....
“For me, the issue is the arrogance of the federal judiciary.”
Wait until freedom of gay marriage conflicts with freedom of religion and a priest, pastor, or JP refuses to perform a gay marriage. Place your bets on the ruling of the arrogant judiciary.
And yet with hate crime laws they are trying to silence the church.
For those who think it won’t happen, consider all the pharmacists who are forced by law to provide the morning after pill against their personal beliefs.
“I don’t condone it eitehr.”
BS, you’ve been pushing gay marriage in this thread.

In response to:

Which is pushing gay marriage.
So, you condone it.
You are a liar.
Yeah Glenn, when they have enough power, when they've broken down all public morality to their level, which is lower than the sewer, they will be coming to get you and everyone in your house. Haven't you ever read Genesis 19?
1 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground. 2 And he said, Here now, my lords, please turn in to your servants house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way. And they said, No, but we will spend the night in the open square. 3 But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. Then he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.
4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally. 6 So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7 and said, Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! 8 See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.
9 And they said, Stand back! Then they said, This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them. So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. 10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11 And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door. Sodom and Gomorrah Destroyed
12 Then the men said to Lot, Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the citytake them out of this place! 13 For we will destroy this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of the LORD, and the LORD has sent us to destroy it.
I don’t visit Gay sites.
This is your personal fight not mine.
I have other issues to fight against.
The internet forum arguements are not part of what I want to entertain.
wanker
But you're on this thread pushing for "gay equality".
In my life gay people, other than Obama just are not part of the issue.
they will be if they win and government forces you to accept them as normal.
And I dont like rainbows anymore but I would not run over a gay couple with my car either.
Show me where someone on said they would.
Now if I see a FR anti-Catholic on the sidewalk ya might have to counsil me brother.
I have nothing to do with that nor is it pertinent to this discussion.
Cam’t you already SEE what is going to happen? They will strip the churches of vested power to perform marriages.....
Which ends up making sense because churches SHOULD have refuse to marry people as protest agsinst easy, no-fault divorce years ago...
women run to the church for a big white wedding on daddy’s dime, then
run to the state for a divorce because they fell in love with somebody else or because they don’t like how their husband jingles his pocket change or something......
And it is wrong.
Geeze.
But it is your fight not mine, I have other issues that actually directly effect my life.
I don’t have any Gay people in my life.
I don’t give a hoot about what some entertainer making lots of money while on tv/radio claiming they are pro Conservative/Christian supports.
I don’t give them money, do you?
I don’t even get them on a radio signal where I live and if I watch them on tv it is for entertainment and some agreement on issues that they parrot.
Dumb isn’t it to WANT the Govt. to reconize you.
Your response should have got a number of replies..that is absolutely my experience as well..magritte
They can raise their swords to any judge, teacher, fake minister, governor, etc. that pushes the gay agenda in this country. They have my permission to activate that part of sharia law.
It won't take long before talk about gay marriage disappears, and sex ed disappears in any school.
The government shouldn’t recognize groups at all, only individuals.
For what it’s worth, I want to post my two cents on the topic of “homosexual marriage.”
#1 Based on natural law, homosexuality is dysfunctional and unnatural. This is simply not debatable.
#2 We can argue whether or not government should ignore (libertarian) or encourage (social conservatism) good behavior, but government shouldn’t exist to encourage destructive and/or dysfunctional behaviors.
#3 Anyone who thinks this cultural barbarism stops at the legalization of “gay marriage” is simply not thinking it through. This is a major FIRST step toward government ENFORCED normalization of homosexual behavior. It doesn’t take a lot of imagination to see the end game.
#4 Like another poster wrote, Christians need to understand the signs. There is a WORLD WIDE effort to normalize homosexuality, almost like a great delusion, and “gay marriage” is just the first step as noted in #3. The world WILL be like Sodom and Gomorrah at the end. That means aggressive homosexuality and perversion in the public square while moral people cower in fear in their homes.
Sorry for the typos....again this is Beowulf’s husband....
I can’t see this morning....I just woke up!
What is going to happen is along the lines of Howard Dean....”I don’t believe in same-sex marriage...leave marriage to the churches...I believe in civil unions” which is really “civil marriage”.....then there will be a move to ONLY allow civil services and disallow church weddings as a violation of “separation” of church and state....
Actually this makes sense, because I think church weddings are a FRAUD that should come with a disclaimer......ie “this “death do us part and God stuff is not meant to be construed as a contract of any sort and the state can nullify this marriage at any time upon resquest of only one party.....”
*Coffee out nose! Coffee out nose!*
Quite frankly, then why are you on the thread supporting and cheering those that support gay rights?
