Glenn Beck: God Prolonged GOP Primary So Every State Could Choose...

[polychronopolous]

...Between Good and Evil








In a fiery rally speech for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on Sunday night, Glenn Beck expressed his belief that God has sent us Cruz as “a man who was raised for these times,” and that God has deliberately prolonged the GOP primary season so that every state in the union will be forced to choose between “good or evil.”

Beck opened his speech by affirming the importance of the Indiana primary, which many political observers regard as a make-or-break moment for Cruz.

“This is going to be a place of miracles,” Beck said. “This is the place that’s going to change the course of American history, and it’s all going to come down to you.  The question is, are you ready?”

He went on to make clear what he regards as the divine importance of this moment in American history.

“Make no mistake, we are being watched,” Beck stated. “We’re being watched by the whole world, but we’re being watched by our Maker. And as Thomas Paine said, ‘Heaven knows how to attach a proper price to something as so sacred and celestial as freedom.’”

He was apparently paraphrasing “The Crisis,” where Paine writes: “Heaven knows how to set a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed, if so celestial an article as Freedom should not be highly rated.”

Beck continued, “It’s not going to be a small price we pay. But He is asking each one of us. Tell me another time in our nation’s history that you have witnessed where Indiana matters? Where your vote counts? Usually by the times it gets to Texas we’re like, ‘Whatever.’”

“Every single state is being required and I believe — and they’re going to rake me over the coals for saying it; so be it — I believe that’s the Almighty God saying, ‘Each one of you, I want you to stand and you choose: good or evil? Which way will we go? Am I still your God and are you still my people? Choose who you serve,’” Beck declared to loud applause.

“Before I walked out on stage, Ted and I got down on our knees and we prayed. And we didn’t pray for us, we prayed for the nation and for you. He is a servant at heart. He is a man who was raised for these times. People don’t believe that stuff any more, but I do. If God raised George Washington and Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Paine, if He put that collection together, He is the Almighty; I think He can send us one guy!”

“But even more importantly, He didn’t just send us one guy. He sent you, and you, and you, and you, and you,” Beck concluded. “We’ve all been born for this time to do the right thing and stand and make a logical decision. I ask Tuesday, you go out and get everybody you know. You be on the record as going out and doing absolutely everything you can. This will decide the course of the nation.”

Beck’s speech was filled with overt religious imagery, particularly in regards to George Washington, who he idolizes with a reverence usually reserved for saints. Beck has declared Cruz “the next George Washington.”

At Sunday’s rally, the radio talker said, “George Washington made a covenant with the Almighty on the day of his inauguration for four hours in the church that now sits right across the street from the World Trade Center. And four hours in prayer after his inauguration he made a covenant: We will be your people and you shall be our God. And I truly believe those things.”

“This country took a 5,000 year leap,” Beck explained. “Man was warming himself around a fire. For thousands of years we had no light, we had no electricity, we had no heat in our homes. People starved. There was no medicine as we know it now. And something magical happened. In 1791, the Constitution was given birth. The Constitution! Man’s rights that came from God were enshrined in a document, and the government was established for the sole purpose of protecting those rights. And because of that – because now you lived in a place where somebody could have an idea. You could have an idea or I could have an idea. I could be poor, but I could put sweat equity into it. And I would work day and night, and I would pursue my happiness. And no one could take that away from me.”

Beck’s thesis comes from a controversial book originally published in 1981 titled “The 5,000 Year Leap” by the late Mormon author W. Cleon Skousen. The book, which has been discredited as pseudo-history, was largely forgotten until Beck re-introduced it to America after penning a new introduction to its re-release.

Beck, who seems to view history through the prism of his own unique religious interpretation, has declared Skousen’s book “essential reading.” The radio talker seems to base a number of his unusual historical declarations on the book, including his statement in his last CPAC speech that the Industrial Revolution “was born” in America, not the United Kingdom, as a result of the U.S. Constitution.

In a Facebook post on Sunday night after the rally, Beck encouraged Americans to join him in a fast in the run-up to the Indiana primary. The last time he encouraged a fast was following Cruz’s defeat in South Carolina.

It’s been a difficult past week for Beck, following news of another round of mass layoffs at his troubled media empire. On Friday, after giving an impassioned “farewell address” of sorts to his 40 laid-off employees from his replica Oval Office, the former radio shock jock joined his co-hosts in donning swim goggles and rubbing his face in a bowl of crushed Cheetos to see if they could “look like Donald Trump.”

bahahahahhahaah   awesome.

so he said it was bullshit a year before Fox News started picking it up only to be told over and over by Republican led investigations that it was all bullshit

Good for Glen

I would have assumed he was as batshit crazy as you on that one

Given how crazy he is and how much he hates Trump I'm surprised he's not on board with your idiotic CT about Trump being a plant

That kind of moronic CT seems perfect for him and his braindead listeners

This is how your Modern Day Republican Party is perceived.

The guy is a fucking cartoon character.

Good luck winning elections with him being front and center.

Glenn Beck Invites America to Join Him in Another Fast



Cruz surrogate Glenn Beck is once again encouraging Americans to join him in a fast in the run-up to a crucial primary vote and to spread the word with the hashtag #Tuesdayfast.

In a Sunday night Facebook post, Beck wrote: “I would like to ask that you, your family and friends join me for a day of prayers, fasting and humility. To beg the Lord to not remove His hand from us. To turn to Him and ask that He will heal our land. Beginning Monday night and running for 24 hours ending on Tuesday will you pray and if possible fast like you have never done before?”

Beck noted that, “I have asked for this in the past and was mocked. It is okay.”

Beck is a fervent supporter of GOP candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)97%
 and has been campaigning with the Texas senator for months across the country, including in Indiana on Sunday and Monday in advance of the primary there, which many regard as a make-or-break moment for Cruz.

Following Cruz’s defeat in the South Carolina primary, Beck invited America “to join me and my family Monday in a fast for Ted Cruz, our country and the Nevada caucus.” Cruz lost the Nevada caucus three days later.

It’s been a difficult past week for Beck, following news of another round of mass layoffs at his troubled media empire. On Friday, after giving an impassioned “farewell address” of sorts to his 40 laid-off employees from his replica Oval Office, the former radio shock jock joined his co-hosts in donning swim goggles and rubbing his face in a bowl of crushed Cheetos to see if they could “look like Donald Trump.”

It was on April 30th 1789 when George Washington raised his right hand and placed his left on the Bible which had been opened randomly to Genesis 49 due to running behind.

He then walked a few blocks to attend a service as passed in a congressional resolution two days prior:

Resolved, That after the oath shall have been administered to the President, he, attended by the Vice President and members of the Senate and House of Representatives, shall proceed to St. Paul’s Chapel, to hear divine service.

This chapel is now known as “the little church that stood”. It still stands as the oldest Church in NYC across the street from the World Trade Center.

It is here that Washington spent four hours in prayer and made a covenant with God.

“He will be our God and we shall be His people.”

I believe this covenant is still in effect. It has protected us and this land for a great while.

We are shunning God, and now openly mocking Him. We have chased Him from our public spaces and conversations, His laws are not recognized anymore in most of our courtrooms, schools, business’ nor our homes and not only can we as a people not name the basic ten laws of God, we break them as individuals and as a nation on a regular basis.

We have become lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, and haters of good.

We wonder why our nation is in trouble. It has nothing to do with DC as they are nearly a reflection of us.

Have you ever seen an election like this before?

I am in a courtyard inn in Ft Wayne Indiana after speaking to maybe 6 thousand people today. I will be away from my family and my business until Wednesday night.

Because I believe that this may be our last chance. The Supreme Court judges that will be appointed are enough to seal our fate alone. But, I believe this is an individual choice. There is no collective salvation and He is asking each of us to choose.

We all agree, America is at a cross roads. If we choose a King, he will give us one. He always does.

But because we are the only nation since ancient Israel to have actually made a covenant with Him, it must be broken, I believe by all of us.

I realize many will mock this theory, but in a way that will prove my point. We have become such an unholy people that he wants to see each of us, each state to choose – who will you serve?

Principles, truth, kindness, and decency or those who deal in greed, hate, anger and fear.

Tuesday Indiana is making its choice. All will be counted. It strikes me as an important “coincidence” that the election will be held just a few days after the anniversary of the original covenant.

I have asked for this in the past and was mocked. It is okay.

I would like to ask that you, your family and friends join me for a day of prayers, fasting and humility. To beg the Lord to not remove His hand from us. To turn to Him and ask that He will heal our land.

Beginning Monday night and running for 24 hours ending on Tuesday will you pray and if possible fast like you have never done before?

“Cry out to Him”. Join me and my family in praying and fasting for our nation and our God to look down and forgive us of our misguided ways.

“Help us Lord to return to you and have the bravery to do the hard thing – to Trust in You and to do our part by standing firm in the eternal truths that Got us here in the first place.”

Let us renew our covenant with Him and as George Washington did and humbly seek his face, guidance and protection.
