    There is no better example why, WE THE PEOPLE, need to make a stand for our core beliefs. To mock and lie openly about a man, who has shined the light on the musty, dank and seedy pit that is the PROGRESSIVE movement; how has he done this, by using their words as corroborating evidence. So it is mystifying to me, why other “news outlets” (MSM) spend valuable time demonizing a man personally rather than challenging the facts he uses to make his point(s).
    I would hope that people, those who care about truth, will look at what is said from both sides and conclude one side is fact based the other emotionally based (no facts). It is true Mr. Beck has made stupid and emotional mistakes i.e. Obama is a racist (made on Fox and Friends) but unlike his critics when he realizes his errors, he as soon as possible, retracts and apologizes for his comments.
    I tried to watch Steward’s 15 minute attack video and it sickened me not because it was true but that it was lie-based and personal. This so-called bill mahr wanna be does an admirable job playing on Mr. Beck’s on-air idiosyncrasy’s but when Mr. Steward calls Mr. Beck’s statements LIES without facts to back-up; that’s when he becomes an ugly caricature of the humanoid bill mahr. The unintelligent replacement for Oberwhatever on MSNBC got his start on a internet show, young turks blah blah, where four letter words were thrown about like air; makes comments that are just incoherent, he tries to use videos to makes his point, but they are either heavily edited or he plays just the part he wants in order to make his convoluted twisted words appear as facts.
    Like the early days of our country, we had people who laid out the facts, those who pondered on them deciding the validity of said facts, wrote proclamation(s) based on them (Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence) and those who defended these facts, by not using words but by taken to arms (like our US Military has for 250yrs). These men believed that peace can only be sustained when one is stronger then its enemy. The founding fathers believed in that assertion with provisions in the Constitution 1). “2nd Amendment” 2). “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” These words apply to all Americans, who follow the strict adherence to the foundational document(s), the CONSTITUTION. That leaves out those who claim the CONSTITUTION is a living and breathing document; in order to believe such a claim would only lead to one awful and dreadful outcome—a living and breathing anything eventually DIES!

      I love your name Country_of_Arizona, I’m in Arizona too. I agree with what you are saying but for me, personally, what Glenn Beck has done is open my eyes to what a wonderful country we live in. The books that Glenn has suggested reading and his focus on the Constitution, Bill of Rights and Declaration of Independence has made it obvious what we have is worth fighting for and how far the enemy within has already gone to take it away from us. I will always have Glenn to thank for opening my mind to the fact that even back when I was in school the socialists were hard at work trying to change history and it makes me mad!

      @OneRepublic4us: really? the progressives,democrats are the ones trying to rewrite history? man get a grip! do you ever watch anything else besides fox 24/7? do you read? i would say did you see the Ken Burns series The Civil War?? it was replayed this week on god forbid,pbs,this week so i guess you never seen it,.funny thing,all those first hand accounts of the war and what brought this country to it,and not one word about how the south “was really trying to free the slaves” now,i know your going to say,well that damn commie Ken Burns left that part out! but,try real hard and think about why would he or anyone would do that? find me one credible book that was wrote about that war that says any thing even close to that stupid statement!! find me one letter that was written during that war that says that.
      not going to happen.just more rehashed,dis-proved john bircher crap-ola from the 50′s.now,ask your self,who is trying to rewrite history.i bet you can’t even tell me the real reason for the Boston tea-party! I can. as for mr.beck,how many of his verifiable out-right lies would you like me to post? glenn only cares for glenn.if you did some unbiased research on him,you would see that.he is just a modern day P.T.Barnum.don’t worry too much for him,he is sure to pop up somewhere as long as there are people out there he can fleece for $$$$$,he will be around.now,as for some people saying Jon is lying about glenn! well,”he can’t do that he would get fired”! like beck did! remember beck saying that?which in it self was one big whopper of a lie from the golden mouth of glenn.as for integrity,i don’t see Jon hawking seeds,freeze-dried mush,gold,ect,ect,or charging people on a website for critical information about the“end of America” if you asked me,if he truly believed in what he is saying and doing is for the common good,that info should be freely given out to the people,can you imagine if the founding fathers did what glenn does? say for only $29.99 you can read this here constitution we got! or say for only $9.99 a month we will nail up these here notices about the king of England! or even for the low,low price of $99.95 you too can own a genuine reproduction of the famous north church lanterns! so i guess Jon beats glenn for integrity hands down.now as for mocking his fans and t.v. audience,yes they are mostly younger,collage educated people,and it is true that the young vote for the dems.more that the repubs.and its the same with the minorities.but not all his fans are young,some are my age(50′s) and a lot older. but more and more Jon is being recognized for his interviewing skills and fairness to the person he is interviewing! not the slandering,yelling,hypocritical ones you see on mr.bill-o-show or anywhere on fox.

I would bet that Glenn will be laughing about this this morning on his radio show. Idiots like Stewart obviously aren’t looking at the facts. Glenn has been right so much of the time.

    Mocking is easy, refuting the evidence Glenn presents is hard. Just dismiss everything, life is a never ending coincidence of events. The future will be, and we should just wait and see what happens, instead of leading. Maybe if John took just one of Glenn’s conclusions and disproved it he would have a better bases from which to mock people who see farther than tomorrow.

      Great point, but John is a Comedian. He absolves himself from actual factual analysis purposely because…. its easier. As you point out, it is easy to simply refute in a mocking fashion. Hard to factually debunk, harder still to factually debunk Glenn Beck and the research team. I am sure his audience had a good laugh, some of Glenns audience could snicker at it I suppose. But they are going to be missing a MAJOR portion of the material for their shows. WHATEVER SHALL THEY DO??? OH THE HUMANITY

On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

    My 2 cents – It’s early April and Beck will be leaving in almost 1 years time, hardly sound like someone getting the boot. In all honesty, his ratings for his timeslot were pretty superb, I mean really? 5 o’clock EST, most people haven’t even left the office at that time. Now, for anyone that thinks Glenn is down and out you have to be kidding yourselves, he is on radio, produces books at a rather remarkable pace, has the his site the Blaze, has the insider extreme as well as his company Mercury Arts.

    Beck over the past several years has slowly been creating something of a Media empire and his “departure” from Fox is being cheered by his foes as a victory which will unfortunately for them be short lived. Beck’s not going anywhere other than away from his regular timeslot, and anyone who thinks differently will be sadly mistaken, so I wouldn’t be to worried

    That was brilliant and awesome. Of all who have sought to mock Beck, only Stewart has really studied him enough to do it right. Even though Stewart won, and some slight vestige of sanity has been restored to cable news, it must be a bittersweet victory. Never again will he have such an easy target – In turns glowering like Goldfinger and sniveling like a schoolgirl, thundering like a prophet, smirking like an evil child, babbling like Curly. Beck was truly every kind of crazy. We will never see his like again.

Perhaps you should go back to your “source of information” Jon Stewart and see the level of intellect your getting your information from. But you just proved my point as I said before, pot smoking hippies are the source of Stewart’s fans who consider his material as “news”.

      I believe the “journaliistas” admire Glenn Beck lot.

      He had the ability to break new frontiers in broadcasting and had the opportunity to do something completely different than has ever been done before in a time when the freedom of speech has been severely limited. Television in particular is just selling a bill of goods and it is going to be getting a lot worse in the coming days. Like Bill Hicks said “Watching television is a LOT like taking a can of black spray paint to your third eye”.

      “Bold and Fresh” aren`t just words………..it is the way he lives his Life. People are starving for Truth and he gave us all permission to wake up and decide what was our own Truth about what is going on in the world. How HUGE is that ???

      Can`t help but think a lot of Libs, socialists, communists, site pests, et.al. tuned in on a regular basis looking for some little bobble to criticize and came out with knowledge that will kick in later when they come to the realization of what it is they actually sold their soul for.

      Also I still haven’t got any logical answer from Chet Hempstead. Plus I would like to point out one thing that I already noticed he was wrong on. The fact that Glenn has invited guests to his show for an honest civil debate, in fact he invited George Soros himself and has invited the White House to call him directly to dispute anything he had gotten wrong. So that alone proves that Chet Hempstead has never listened to Glenn or has watched him but only gets his facts from Jon Stewart or some other “media outlet” like mediamatters.

      In case you didn’t realize you alone have proved yourself to be a hypocrite in your own words when you said that in the same sentence as “I watch him because he’s funny.”

      And you sir have proved yourself an illiterate since those were two different sentences. But seriously, I watch Mr. Beck all the time for the same reason that I watch Mr. Stewart – because he makes me laugh.

      What has he been wrong about? Well, even though the watered down health care bill largely written by Republicans and insurance companies passed over a year ago, this is still pretty much the America I always knew, not the People’s Republic of Unrecognizablestan. His exaggerated reputation as a prophet rests on the fact that he makes at least 100 dire predictions a week, always tempered by a statement that he hopes he is wrong. So pretty much any time anything lass than optimum happens he can take credit for predicting it. He’s kind of like a guy who shows you an old coal shovel and tells you it’s Thor’s magic hammer. He takes it into his backyard every day at five and swings it around his head and slams it on the ground. A couple of times a year there’s going to be rain or lightning or thunder just after he slams it and then he looks up with a smug grin and says “See, who’s crazy now?”

      And I don’t say he’s a liar, but he’s not honest. He is as scrupulous about the facts he reports as he is careful to leave out any that wouldn’t support the narrative he is trying to sell. For example, he’ll tell you a hundred times that George Soros has funded revolutions and overthrown governments, but he’s a lot stingier with the fact that they were all in Communist countries, or he’ll give lots of history lessons about the Progressives, but never one on the period before them – the late nineteenth century when business was much more powerful than the government and workers really were badly exploited, because you might think twice if you knew what to expect under the kind of limited government and powerless unions he tells you you’re supposed to want.

      The President and George Soros, okay I’ll give you those. Bill Maher has never gotten the Pope to come on his show and debate religion either. Has Beck ever invited anyone he might have been able to get, and before insulting him and caricaturing his views?

      Oh, and I’m sorry you were “still waiting” for a response seven whole hours after your first post. Arguing with other Blazers is just a hobby for me.

      The fact that you say of the one interview you cite that he “never released the full clip online even,” shows that you are aware that he usually does – as in the case of his several genuinely spirited and civil debates with Mike Huckabee. Oh, and I think he did pretty well in the Goldberg interview. I suspect he didn’t release the full clip because he made mincemeat out of the guest, not the other way around.

      Oh boy you just gave me a bunch of material to work with as this will indeed be fun.

      Chet Hempstead:

      “And you sir have proved yourself an illiterate since those were two different sentences.”

      Lets start with this sentence. You claim that I am illiterate because you used…. 2 different sentences? Even though how you used those sentences was incorrect. Here is a little English lesson for you, when you say:

      “I’m confused, where did I say that I rely on Jon Stewart as a source of information? I don’t. I watch him because he’s funny.”

      You made a huge mistake as when you said “I don’t” it should of been followed by a comma or nothing at all but instead you insert an unnecessary period which shouldn’t be there. With a period you have broken off from your last statement which should be read like this: “I don’t, I watch him because he is funny.” The words I don‘t doesn’t make a full sentence thus proving your illiteracy. Plus judging from your statement you can’t dispute the fact yet admit how you are an avid fan of Jon Stewart yet at the same time have no argument other than – your illiterate? Really, that is what you liberal mind can come up with. I thought we were going to have a debate not a kindergarten come back.

      Second, I would also like to point out your next line of words:

      “And I don’t say he’s a liar, but he’s not honest.”

      Wow, just wow, there is no end to what is wrong with this statement. For one while the word “and” can be used at the beginning of a sentence in certain cases this was completely out of line. You cannot use the word “and” at the beginning of a paragraph as even preschoolers are taught this. Next the line “I don‘t say he’s a liar, but he is not honest.” I mean holy cow. For one you used “I don’t” instead of I didn’t which would of been the correct term. Next instead of using an unnecessary period this time you used an unnecessary comma which may be a common mistake but is still a very big mistake. Let me correct this sentence for you – “I didn‘t say he’s a liar but he is not honest.” Now read that out loud to yourself and tell me that doesn’t sound better.

      Alright so we skipped a paragraph but I wanted to get this whole “illiterate” debate out of the way, now we can move onto bigger and better things. Your previous paragraph which I will quote of course leads to this:

      “What has he been wrong about? Well, even though the watered down health care bill largely written by Republicans and insurance companies passed over a year ago, this is still pretty much the America I always knew, not the People’s Republic of Unrecognizablestan.”

      First of all what are you referring to the “watered down health care bill”? How could the Republicans have watered anything down when they were neither in charge of the house, senate, nor presidency during the year the health care law was passed? What fax do you have to basis this claim on other than liberal idiocy? In fact you have no basis and anyone can already tell you are a fan of Stewart as only his fans and those on MSNBC could actually say and believe something that absurd.

      Next is this line:

      “His exaggerated reputation as a prophet rests on the fact that he makes at least 100 dire predictions a week, always tempered by a statement that he hopes he is wrong.”

      This already stands how you have not watched Glenn at all. Usually Glenn sticks to one topic for days if not weeks on end. There is no “100 predictions” a week or even close to that many. So instead of coming up with something logical you have made another liberal progressive flaw in just using the old exaggerated grade school comment which doesn’t work and gets awfully old after a while. Honestly I thought you progressives were supposed to be smart.

      Moving on:

      “So pretty much any time anything lass than optimum happens he can take credit for predicting it.”

      Did you mean “less” in this sentence? Seriously your vocabulary skills need work. Anyway what would you consider less then optimum in your book? When Glenn said 2 years ago that Europe would be heading down a financial crisis that would effect other European nations and how it would all start with Greece. Well I hate to post links here but:

      “In early 2010, fears of a sovereign debt crisis, the 2010 Euro Crisis[1] developed concerning some European states,[2] including European Union members Portugal, Ireland, Greece,[3] Spain[4], (sometimes referred to as “PIGS”) and Belgium. This led to a crisis of confidence as well as the widening of bond yield spreads and risk insurance on credit default swaps between these countries and other EU members, most importantly Germany.[5][6]”

      Quoted from:

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_sovereign_debt_crisis_%282010%E2%80%93present%29

      Also if that is not enough for you then you can easily find out yourself how much debt Greece, Portugal, Iceland, Ireland, Spain and other European nations are in trouble including France and England. There are literally thousands of articles and just about each nation.

      Or do you complain about the fact that Glenn mentioned there was a caliphate started in the middle east starting with Tunisia and Egypt. There have been protests over in Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Western Sahara which are on going. It has started with Muslim Leaders including the Muslim Brotherhood claiming to want a caliphate in the middle east. There are reports everywhere on it with the own words of the leaders for a caliphate but does the liberal press deny it? Well those who despise Glenn do, but surprisingly there are some that actually do agree with Glenn on this one.

      Moreover those like George Soros, Van Jones, Francis Fox Piven, Cass Sunstien I urge you to tell me what he has been wrong on with these people? As he uses their own words to prove what they believe and if you ever I mean ever watched Glenn you would know this. So tell me again what “predictions” has he made more so then he just reads and believes what the progressives say their agenda is from their own mouths.

      “He’s kind of like a guy who shows you an old coal shovel and tells you it’s Thor’s magic hammer. He takes it into his backyard every day at five and swings it around his head and slams it on the ground. A couple of times a year there’s going to be rain or lightning or thunder just after he slams it and then he looks up with a smug grin and says “See, who’s crazy now?””

      Thor’s Hammer? Ok, obviously your are either a 13 year old comic book reader or a liberal blogger who lives in his parents basement wearing underwear all day.

      “And I don’t say he’s a liar, but he’s not honest.”

      We’re back to this terrible, terrible sentence. I mean not only is it horribly written but it just doesn’t make any sense. You didn’t say he is a liar, but he’s not honest? Those two statements completely contradict each other. Isn‘t someone who isn’t honest to be called a “liar”? That is what the dictionary says at least. But alas I ask thee what Glenn hasn’t been honest on? You say this:

      “For example, he’ll tell you a hundred times that George Soros has funded revolutions and overthrown governments, but he’s a lot stingier with the fact that they were all in Communist countries”

      First of all the countries that Soros overthrew were indeed evil countries. However Soros also claims that America is an evil country as in the same category of the countries he has overthrown such as Georgia, Ukraine, and Yugoslovia. He is as we speak using the same 5 step process on America as the countries he did in the past. Does that not compute with you?

      The five step process is as follows:

      In his five-point regime-change strategy Soros, 1) infiltrates countries with his operatives, under the cover of humanitarian aid; 2) takes control of the air waves by creating “independent media” under his own control; 3) destabilizes the targeted country with financial manipulations and political agitation, 4) waits for an election, then disrupts it with charges of voter fraud, then; 5) takes the streets with armies of activist youth whom Soros has recruited, trained and funded, all demanding that the incumbent step down.

      “or he’ll give lots of history lessons about the Progressives, but never one on the period before them – the late nineteenth century when business was much more powerful than the government and workers really were badly exploited, because you might think twice if you knew what to expect under the kind of limited government and powerless unions he tells you you’re supposed to want.”

      “Weak points of the economy in 1907-1914, link them to public demands for more Progressive interventions. The Panic of 1907 was followed by a small decline in real wages and increased unemployment, with both trends continuing until World War I. Campbell emphasizes the resulting stress on public finance and the impact on the Wilson administration’s policies. The weakened economy and persistent federal deficits led to changes in fiscal policy, including the imposition of federal income taxes on businesses and individuals and the creation of the Federal Reserve System.”

      Huh, sounds like Obama in a nut shell. Yes the progressive era, no matter how much you try and point out how it was a good thing it indeed hurt America very much. The reporters that tried to expose the corruption in the progressive era were called the “muckrackers” by the progressive president Teddy Roosevelt. He gave these journalists their nickname when he complained they were not being helpful by raking up all the muck. Does that sound like someone who wants to expose corruption? Progressives have always been lying corrupt politicians who want more power in their agenda. Take a look a Woodrow Wilson whom was a racist. Or how about Franklin D. Roosevelt who said unions were bad for the country when at that time is when some company’s did treat their workers poorly. Now unions are indeed corrupt but that is another story as you didn’t mention that.

      “The President and George Soros, okay I’ll give you those. Bill Maher has never gotten the Pope to come on his show and debate religion either. Has Beck ever invited anyone he might have been able to get, and before insulting him and caricaturing his views?”

      Actually yes Glenn has had many people on his show before. A spokesman from Acorn, corrupt politicians, Al Sharpton and others have been on Glenn’s program in the past and if you were indeed a listener of his you again would of known this. But Glenn changed his program in 2010 to suite more of a source of corruption rather than just the cronies. This was due to the fact that Glenn could dispute anyone who would come on his show in fact one politician called him the toughest interviewer on TV or something to those standards I can’t remember the exact wording.

      Anyway at this point I am very tired and would like to go to bed. Judging from the fact you have brought nothing at all to dispute Glenn on yet still mock him, and by the words that you have spoke I think I understand the type of person you really are. You aren’t an avid listener of Glenn Beck, you are a fan of Jon Strewart, you don’t know anything about Glenn other than what you have read and heard on liberal progressive blog sites, and the fact that you love comics and need to go to English class. So I have wasted enough time here I hoped you would of brought something more than you did and hoped it would of been a better argument. As always liberals cannot find any facts on their accusations of “Glenn is wrong” or “Glenn makes me laugh” which is of course all bologna.

      First of all “I don’t” is a whole sentence, it has a subject and a verb and makes a statement. I could have combined it with the next sentence to make one longer sentence, or left them as two sentences – neither is incorrect. Second those aren’t the two sentences I was talking about. I meant that saying Stewart was funny and saying he engages in debate with people of opposing viewpoints were two different sentences, Those were the two thoughts that you had stated were in the same sentence. Of course that simple error does not make you illiterate. I was making a joke by insulting you based on flimsy evidence as you did when you repeatedly called me ignorant.

      I’ll admit that starting a paragraph with and is bad form. I originally had one long paragraph and later decided to divide it up. When I chose that sentence as the breaking point I should have deleted the word and. Other than that my sentence is better than yours. I said that I don’t say that Beck is a liar rather than that I didn’t say it because you never claimed that I had called him one. Therefore, it was entirely appropriate to express that thought in the present tense. That comma belongs there, it separates two clauses each with a subject and verb. You may consider it optional, but it is certainly not incorrect.

      You are correct that the health care bill was not literally written by Republicans and insurance companies. What I meant was that it read as if it had been, because it incorporated many ideas that Republicans had suggested and supported in the past, and the individual mandate which only the insurance companies ever wanted, and left out the public option which is the main thing that Democrats wanted. Believe me, I fully understand that this was more owing to the weakness of the Democrats in the face of opposition than to the strength of the Republicans. My main point – that Beck predicted that passage of even this pale imitation of health care reform would have dire consequences which have failed to materialize remains valid.

      Okay, 100 dire predictions a week was obviously an exaggeration. I should have said 100 predictions a month. I do watch Glenn Beck regularly, so I know that while you can claim that he sticks to one topic for weeks at a time, it would be equally accurate to say that he never sticks to one topic for five minutes at a time. It all depends on whether you believe that the overarching narratives he forms out of seemingly unrelated facts and incidents are valid, or whether you think he is just a typical paranoid who sees patterns where none exist.

      Of course I meant less. So what? Nobody’s perfect. In your first post to me you typed a your that should have been a you’re, and you started a sentence with albeit, which is at least as bad as starting a paragraph with and. We’re not writing for the ages here.

      It makes perfect sense to draw a distinction between lying and not being honest. A lie can be caught, exposed, refuted. The dishonesty of cherrypicking facts to lead to a desired conclusion, instead of honestly presenting all the facts and examining all the conclusions that they could lead us to is more subtle, sneakier, harder to call someone out for, and potentially more destructively deceptive. The fact that you might agree with the conclusions that a dishonest man leads his followers while I might disagree with them does not mitigate or excuse his dishonesty.

      Though I am (or was) a regular viewer of Glenn’s television show, I don’t get to listen to the radio show. I’ll take your word for it that I was probably out of line when I said he was afraid to debate opponents one on one.

      Okay, one more thing before I give up. You talk about the danger of a caliphate. This is a perfect example of how Beck is both a very smart guy and a little bit crazy. The danger exists. He is right to point it out. People who denied that it was a real danger were naïve, but he goes off into paranoialand when he starts analyzing the response of our government. He hates and fears the current administration so much that he reflexively tries to look for the worst possible motives for all their actions. In this case the worst possible motive would be a secret sympathy with the goal of creating such a calipate. Why did the administration give moral support to the Egyptian rebels even though Mubarek had been an ally? Why do we give material support to the Libyan rebels? Why do we do nothing about the rebellions elsewhere, even in Iran which is our enemy? He asks these questions over and over because for him the answers have to fit into the most sinister possible theory, even though to everyone else the most obvious answers are ones that are perfectly consistent with the theory of an administration doing its best to look after the interest of this country in a difficult time. The President tried to remain neutral on Egypt at first, but had to express support for the rebels when it became obvious that Mubarek had lost the support of the army. This meant that he would lose and the rebels would win, and the sooner we came over to their side the better our chances of a good relationship with the next government. We intervened in Libya because an entire city full of people was about to be wiped out, and we were the only ones who could stop it. We stay out of all the other conflicts because they are none of our business and we would have stayed out of all of them if we could. We don’t even express moral support for a rebellion in Iran because when President George H.W. Bush did that without being able to follow up with material support it got a lot of people killed, set the freedom movement back many years and greatly damaged our reputation in the eyes of the Iranian people. These may turn out to have been the right decisions. They may turn out to have been the wrong decisions, but they are all decisions that make sense without having to look for secret sinister motives.

      Oh yeah, if I made any typos in either of the last two posts or left out a comma somewhere, before you mock me for it you should know that in the last paragraph of your last post, “by the words that you have spoke” should read spoken, or more logically written. “I hoped you would of brought something” should be “would have brought something.” That would be the same paragraph where you say I “need to go to English class.”

      Listen kid, it’s not hard to figure out when someone makes an alt account. Few reasons as to why.

      You log onto this certain story and scroll all the way down to this specific argument, then just so happen to read everything I said only to make up a one line sentence insulting me with no reason behind as to why. Then you prove that you are on the same whiny level as Chet Hempstead referring him to his first name providing that you need to acknowledge him for a rise in morale. It’s not that hard to figure out considering no other normal progressive would come all the way to this blog just to do that.

      You are walking on a thin line Chet Hempstead and need to consider you have no basis to back up your theories. In fact you have resorted to childish behavior with this alt account of anniyan428 proving just how much a kid you really are. The fact that you couldn’t even come up with any intelligent answer other than:

      “Wow, who is this Templar Knight lunatic. I suggest you look at your own statements before making hypocritical and, quite frankly, stupid accusations.”

      Just goes to show your level of maturity. Liberal Progressives are the same whether they be 12 or 62 their tactics remain the same. It‘s a sad case but I don’t have to argue with you anymore when you resort to this level of behavior. If you wanted to continue with a logical debate I would have been more than happy to oblige. But since you can‘t nor haven’t been able to come up with any logical defense it makes it all seem sad and worthless. I have wasted my time with you and won’t bother to even talk to you any further.

      ————–
      Well, maybe you interpreted it as my wish. Not so. I am just pointing to a spiritual fact. People think that spiritual laws don‘t exist or don’t have consequences. We have thought that as Christians we should only talk about the love of God and never about His justice. We are doing the unsaved a disservice. I have seen prominent people pay the price for mocking God — more than once. If I had had the chance to warn them of the consequences of their actions, I would have done so.

      Unfortunately — Allah is feared but God is not (what irony, considering who Allah really is!), and one of the reasons for that is that the Christian church has allowed the ungodly to build a very powerful narrative in which any mention of God’s justice is considered both judgmental and stupidly primitive. You do understand that it is a wile of the enemy and that the Church will be held accountable for buying into it. We are entering an age of great darkness, and either we allow God to show up for real, or we ourselves will be lost in that flow.

      Thanks for your comment.

      Straw Men make for great comedy–but unsatisfying debate.

      Please teach your kids how to think critically–that‘s something we can no longer just leave to the education system and trust that it’s getting done.
