Principle 4
4.The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.
Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson
Wow. Here’s the thing with Glenn Beck. He makes a generally accepted true statement, then follows it with a tinfoil-hat whopper!
This sounds like something David Koresh might have said, or Jim Jones. It’s anti-government rhetoric that is ballooned into meaning anything the speaker wants it to mean, including setting up camp at Ruby Ridge. People who believe this one are the same types that hoard gold and ammunition. Every time there’s a natural disaster, instead of helping people, they grab a gun and go out on patrol looking for “looters” to shoot. You know, the nasty dark-skinned people who are looking for water and food to keep their kids alive. Them. Those people.
More to come…
4. “Family is the ultimate authority” sounds like the slogan of Ma Barker and her gang, and what the James boys used to say. And if that intrusive supreme being God or his liberal Jewish son says “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s”, that’s too bad because the Beck family would presumably have protested the Roman govt and it’s high taxes even while they enjoyed the nice Roman roads.

I wondered which of Jefferson’s families he was talking about the Jeffersons or Hemmings.
