HOWEVER, you know how there's always an exception to every rule? I have a house guest with me tonight, a gent & his wife, haven't seen the guy in 30 years. He's always been one of the most intelligent and perceptive people I ever met. He owns a major corporation in the US and is worth millions. We just got around to politics, and he says he likes Glenn Beck. I was just a bit surprised; I have a hard time believing that anyone with his experiences would give Beck the time of day, but he has always had a sort of apocalyptic view of the future, even 30 years ago. I am beat, I will try to address other points in your post tomorrow. Thanks for the comment. Wexler Hi, Dennis,

I am pretty much in complete agreement with you. HOWEVER, you know how there’s always an exception to every rule? I have a house guest with me tonight, a gent & his wife, haven’t seen the guy in 30 years. He’s always been one of the most intelligent and perceptive people I ever met. He owns a major corporation in the US and is worth millions.

We just got around to politics, and he says he likes Glenn Beck. I was just a bit surprised; I have a hard time believing that anyone with his experiences would give Beck the time of day, but he has always had a sort of apocalyptic view of the future, even 30 years ago. I am beat, I will try to address other points in your post tomorrow.

Thanks for the comment.

And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian. As someone with a graduate degree in religion, I can say with all qualifications that Mormonism fits all parameters of a cult and has none of the parameters of a religion. A cult is any group (regardless of its size) that interprets the doctrines of a religion in an unorthodox fashion. The problem here is the fact the most Christians do not understand the difference and they easily fall for the lies of Mormon missionaries when they come to one's door. On Beck's radio show and Fox Network program he consistent demonstrates all the unstable behaviors of a dry alcoholic which include grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, impulsivity, ADD and indecisiveness. Alongside that reality, Glenn Beck does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, has no college degree, has no qualifications and he is definitely not a true conservative. But then, what can anyone expect from someone who can't find anything filthier than their own personal reflection. Since people like Beck cannot survive on the basis of any personal merits, they survive by putting others down with lies and half truths in order to feel good about themselves. The truth about Beck is that he a dry mormon alcoholic who never got the counseling required for alcoholics. To further complicate things and confuse people, Beck flippantly throws around Christian terms like "God", "Jesus","Holy Spirit" as well as voices of other so called "Spirit Powers" on his radio talk show. Beck is a mormon in active standing with the mormon church and is not a Christian. Mormonism teaches many gods, that the god of the earth was once a man who attained godhood status, there is no trinity, the cross of Christ means nothing and that Jesus Christ and Satan were brothers. Because Beck does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, he is the perfect abortion poster child for Fox Network. The people who love what Beck says are no different than the impressionable sheep who loved every speech made by Adolph Hitler in his early years when he brought Germany into an era of economic prosperity These same sheep also blindly followed Hitler into one of the darkest chapters of world history. Beck and the Fox Network both cater to the same lowest common denominator of demagoguery. Beck would not know the first thing about God as he is a mormon. Someone should ask him which of the many mormon gods he kept talking about during his argument with himself on Saturday on the square in DC. Like a typical dry alcoholic, Beck even lied on national television when he spoke about holding a document signed by George Washington. That event never took Place. Unfortunately, people who love being led around by the nose do not realize that Beck is talking about a different god than that of Christianity, Judaism or Islam and that he has been a product of mormonism cultism from the day he started doing a radio talk show as an opinion pusher. You don't have to have a degree in psychology to see that he exhibits all the signs of a dry alcoholic. The only reason this unstable impressionable idiot fell into mormonism was because the woman he wanted to have sex with would not do so unless they got first got married and from that point, they joined the mormon cult. Glenn Beck is as big a charlatan as Joseph Smith or that 5th grade graduate (Charles T Russell) who started the Jehovah's Witness cult. This is Glenn Beck in a very accurate and concise nutshell. Considering the fact that Becks personal views are extreme Marxist Libertarian, his form of patriotism is false and he is a person who has no real substance or depth. It will not surprise many of us when Beck’s next big thing is to come out of the closet and announce his homosexuality to the nation. Simply put…he is just another predatory neocon who is pushing the buttons of very ignorant & impressionable people who love being told what to think and believe. We live in a period of history where it has become very socially acceptable to be stupid and follow extremist idiots like Glenn Beck, Adolph Hitler, Sarah Palin, Karl Rove, Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh. Chicanery and lies are their middle names.

You're right about the distasteful part (and everything else, too). Sometimes it just grates on my sensibilities to listen to Beck's show and try to keep up with all of the people in the periphery. It seems like he can churn up a new batch of lies and chatter them up every day. There are a lot of other people who are doing their part. Quinlan and I are two of the many. I feel as if my country has been hijacked by people who can't think any more, only react. So many Americans have so little time to stay up with current events, and even if they did the press is failing us miserably. Our country lives in a veil of propaganda where Fox News Corporation is now synonymous and an active financial supporter of the GOP. The response of papers like The NYT and WaPo has been to hire right wing columnists to nod to the idiotic notion that news and opinion has to be "fair and balanced". A story has facts. They are not left wing nor right wing, they are facts. You don't have to make up right wing talking points and present them as facts with equal weight as the real facts. That's the problem with the so-called "MSM". Of course there are exceptions. Opinion shows on MSNBC fall into this category, as do web news sources Mother Jones, Truthdig, and DemocracyNow! There are others as well, but they are few and far between. Oh, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the links on the right hand side of our page. I especially thank StopBeck.com, who has taken the Beck sponsor fight to the wall and still keeps up the pressure. Thank you again for your comment. -Wexler Thanks for your very kind words, Bryan.

I've felt like chicken little for the last 30 odd years, and reading your site helps to get rid of that sometime feeling that maybe its me that must be insane in this insane irrational world. I am enjoying your great intelligence. At times, confirming what I think I know, and learning some more from the product of your obvious diligence. Thank you, Thank you. Important work. I'm glad to see someone is dedicated enough to take the time and effort to do the hard (and at times,distastful) work. Bryan Leinwand Thank you, I love your site.
