Glenn Unveils Letter to British Parliament Conservatives Over Their EU ‘Rebellion’

There was a major vote in UK’s parliament on Monday, and it’s caused Glenn to write an open letter of support for its conservative members.
What happened? There was a referendum that would have allowed Britain’s citizens to vote on whether to be a part of the European Union. Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron and the Conservative Tory Party instructed its members to vote against the referendum, thus taking the decision out of the hands of the people. But despite the instructions, 81 members defected and voted in favor of the referendum. It’s a move the London paper The Guardian described as an embarrassing “rebellion:”
David Cameron has described the Conservative colleagues who took part in the largest postwar rebellion on Europe on Monday night as “valued” colleagues, insisting there was “no bad blood, no rancour, no bitterness” over their actions.
As the prime minister sought to play down the divisions that saw 81 Conservatives – nearly half his backbenchers – defy the Tory whip to support a referendum on Britain’s membership of the EU, strains in the coalition government came to the fore.
[...]
The Conservatives focused on seeking to limit the fallout from the vote as the government confirmed that two parliamentary private secretaries, Stewart Jackson and Adam Holloway, had been removed from their posts following their decisions to rebel.
Glenn applauded the action, and on Tuesday’s GBTV program read an open letter to the conservative members of Parliament:

Posted on October 27, 2011 at 11:45amFolks it almost doesn’t matter who votes which way at this point. A personal question to anyone out there? How many children do you have?
URGENT READ is “America Alone” by Mark Steyn.
The average birth rate in UK is 2.0 per woman BUT many of these are Moslems.
“Consider first at a few chilling statistics. Europeans are failing to reproduce. Just to keep the population steady, you need 2.1 live births per woman.
However, in 2005, the European average was 1.38. In Ireland it was 1.9, France 1.89, Germany 1.35 and Italy 1.23. Britain scored in the middle of this range with 1.6, but that was because – like France – we have a large Muslim population with a high birth rate. Indeed, Muslims are outbreeding non-Muslims throughout Europe.”
Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-452815/Will-Britain-day-Muslim.html#ixzz1bztE8ImC
The average birth rate of Moslems in UK is about 3-3.5
When they are the majority will they join the European Union? or Eurabia as Steyn calls it?
GET IT?

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 5:55pmGreat Britain is one of the most dhimmified nations in Western Civilization.
They are under constant pressure to discard their identity and become assimilated by the borg-like freaks in Brussels.
Jihad, through rampant and unchecked “immigration” of muslim warriors from Pakistan, has left the country a place where piggy banks are forbidden and the politicians appease the muslims and treat the citizens like crap. Where The Archbishop of Canterbury says the adoption of some aspects of of Islamic Sharia law seems unavoidable.”
WAKE UP!!!!
If you want to see our future should we decide to ignore and deny Islamic Jihad, look at Great Britain.
Where has everyone been for the last 1,400 years?!!!

Posted on October 26, 2011 at 1:14pmPeople should stand up an face the music, we are losing our country to radicals, is it easy to hate a rich man, you bet, growing up poor, I often hated rich people, I often wanted what they had, I said why lord cant I have that, and then it dawned on me, what is it that made them rich? What did they do to earn there wealth? The answer is often in your own question, I see my fellow countrymen hate …each other, instead of helping, I see evil as good, and good as evil, I think to myself wow how much easier it was when I was poor, people helped, loved, and did for others, as I grow older, I hate now what I see, people hating on another for what they have, people filled with greed, people who want it all, yet earn not, I say to you the 48 friends I have on here, and the 4 people in real life friends I have, will you stand in the face of evil, will you stand up and say, evil is not good, will you proclaim that you know and love thy Lord Jesus, will you end the hate, and extend the hand? That is at the end of the day the hardest thing to do, love those that hate you…

I guess that how liberals would describe history. History is hard to swallow when it proves your cause fails every time. Harmful advice is my favorite. Remember when he told the people at his restore honor rally to clean up more trash than they left (that’s harmful). Or when he tells people to do their homework and study these things for themselves (very harmful). Have you ever even listened to Glenn in context and not just what MSNBC shows you?

He may claim to be the “savior of the American middle class” and the leading force against “liberal, elitist America” yet is, in fact, a corporate-adulating, affluent elitist who, with other right-wing news hosts, attempts to portray practical, necessary measures such as public option health care and the extension of gay rights as Marxist pervasion of our society. In addition, anyone who refuses to listen or capitulate to Glenn Beck’s right-wing propaganda is, according to him and his brainwashed teabagging followers, either one of the following epithets: a Marxist, a socialist, a Nazi, and/or fascist (especially when fascism and Nazism are clearly RIGHT-WING ideologies) In addition, Beck is schizophrenic and perenially intoxicated, as shown in such instances as him claiming to have spoken to God and asking the aforementioned deity for support in his so-called crusade against secular “liberal America.” Overall, Glenn Beck is idiotic and should be avoided at all times.
