This week the remarks Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:35:56 -0500 And that is the only problem with this guy?..he is not a Mormon he is moron.. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:40:32 -0500 Glen Beck is attacking against the social regime of Barack Obama who is suceeding to change us to a social state instead of a capital state that for over two hundred years has made us into one of the leading economic countries and is dispised by other nations because of our success. Don't be fooled by the backlash against Beck that are against our capitalistic success full ways Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:41:39 -0500 A liberal complaining about Glenn Beck and trying to get him off the air. So what else is new? Liberals are always trying to infringe on someones free speech or nanny us to death. It's what they do. http://none Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:57:05 -0500 Beck is basically correct. The church's only mission is to preach the gospel of Christ, when it gets into social issues it soon strays. The point is, after a person is a christian,then his activities in the world can address the problems of the world in a christian way. Remember pope John Paul admonishing the central american priests for being involved in the political changes there. Needed, maybe, but not the mission of the church or christianity. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:18:36 -0500 you are 100% wright don't change a thing Glenn Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:18:39 -0500 A liberal Christian is not an Evangelical.A liberal Christian does not believe in the virgin birth,Christ as the eternal Son of God nor that Christ is God in the flesh or that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God. Jesus said "The poor you will have with you always"No wonder we lost the war on poverty Glenn Beck is right on Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:28:41 -0500 Mr. Beck acts like everyone is evil except him, and all Republicans.I think he's a grown mamas' boy that needs his butt kicked. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:31:23 -0500 I read the paragraph about the christian's boycotting Glen Beck because if Christians hear about the words of social or economic justice that they should be running from the church. Since he said that code words for connuism or nazism. My thought on that if I hear those words that Glenn Beck warn people of, I could tell you that I would be walking out of church. Those issues do not belong in church. The only thing that belongs in church is that we are worshipping GOD and following his words. God did not talk about that stuff and why should we talk about that in church. When I watch Glenn Beck everynow and then during the week. I do not take him for his word, I get off my but and look up the facts. So instead boycotting why don't you go research it and have facts to deny or stand behind it. All that these people are quating is what they believe it is our job to research it to know what is true or wrong. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:42:33 -0500 Glenn is right, churches should be to engage Christians in community with other Christians and teach from Bible, too many stray from the purpose..usually the ones always asking for money and judging others. Glenn is right on, and if we arent careful we will no longer be able to elect a President, but be under the ruling of a dictator Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:45:55 -0500 You must be kidding? At one point Jesus was the ultimate socialist. He preached getting rid of your material things and living most simply and humbly. Beck made over $20 mill last year. Real Christ like. He's a boob and so are most idiots posting in here. Obama a socialist? Please. How? Please name me some ways. Taxes up? Nope actually lower than last year. Geez. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:46:16 -0500 Dave Beck often says things to just create contoversy. I'm not at all surprised by what he said, but I imagine most of his fellow Mormons are shamed by it. He has fee speech but he isn't a chosen leader or religious leader with any authority so I just laugh at his rantings. He used to be a clown and he continues to act like one who has lost some of his brain matter. Poor Dave. He is never happy unless he is the center of attention. Perhaps he hasn't really been to enough AA meetings to learn how to be humble and less divisive. I've got better things to do in my life than to listen to his caustic humour. I just flip the channel or get busy helping real people who need my genuine Christian help. Betty in WA state. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:53:56 -0500 If anyone dose not like what he is saying; turn the volume down or turn the power off.But do not infringe on his Amendments rights.Perhaps if you do listen, you might actually learn something. I never attended a church like revern wrights; but I,m sure I would have got up and left and never returned. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:54:31 -0500 We should all pray for Glenn Beck and others that are like him.They are certainly not reading the Bible I read. I would like to know if Mr. Beck, knows how many different places in the Bibles where God wants us to help the poor. God Command it, and He expect it.Here is just a few of many places in the Bible I would ask Mr. Beck to read. When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. You shall not strip your vineyard bare, or gather the fallen grapes of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the alien: I am the LORD your God. (NRSV, Leviticus 19:9-10) He who despises his neighbor sins, but happy is he who is gracious to the poor. (NAS, Proverbs 14:21) "Feed the hungry! Help those in trouble! Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you shall be as bright as day. And the Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy you with all good things, and keep you healthy too; and you will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring. (TLB, Isaiah 58:10-11) And the crowds asked [John the Baptist], "What then should we do?" In reply he said to them, "Whoever has two coats must share with anyone who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise." (NRSV, Luke 3:10-11)But whoever has the world's goods, and beholds his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him? (NAS, 1 John 3:17) He who gives to the poor will never want, but he who shuts his eyes will have many curses. (NAS, Proverbs 28:27) And [Jesus] looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury. And He saw a certain poor widow putting in two small copper coins. And He said, "Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them; for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on." (NAS, Luke 21:1-4) Finally, our good deeds should be motivated by a sincere desire to help others. Public recognition should not be the goal. "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. (NIV, Matthew 6:1-2) Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:18:15 -0500 This pastor should not fear Glenn Beck warning people about words that have no place in the church, but should rather fear the words of God that say "woe to the pastors that lead my sheep astray"This is not about the church helping those in need. That's what the church has always done and will do. It's not called social justice or economic justice, but brotherly love. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:18:29 -0500 Some people who posted here bashing Beck are afraid of what he's saying the truth! The church is no place for politics, and preaching for socialism or whatever other garbage these liberals are trying to brainwash churchgoers of! they should be preaching religion and that's it! Beck Should NOT be boycotted! Not for speaking the truth and the right things! The people who bash him obviously are not thinking right! Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:41:37 -0500 I feel sorry for Glenn Beck. I've met people like him. He needs to read I Corinthians, Chapter 13. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:45:21 -0500 I believe many are missing the point of Becks statements, and how any of it relates to the Bible. Just as being saved is your choice so is how, or how much you give to help others. None of the statements just quoted say's its ok for a corrupt government to take your money to give it to others. You can help all you want, please do so, but don't let our government mandate it. If so then you are not giving as Christ did anyway, it is being forced. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:55:15 -0500 He who despises his neighbor sins, but happy is he who is gracious to the poor. (NAS, Proverbs 14:21)And this from a nation where people support a progressive income tax so the govt. can take from the rich to provide for everyone.Helping people in need should come from the heart of the individual and not from a collective group being led by someone who wants personal recognition for themselve or their religion. Churches have become nothing more than another form of politics claiming one form of religion is better than the other.I will not be indoctrinated by Glenn Beck but I will listen to him and examine the truth to make my own decisions. From what I can see anyone who would say that the politicians of this country have not been corrupted and that we are in danger of losing the country our founding fathers gave us certainly is choosing to be blinded by a desire for leadership. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:56:33 -0500 Yeah, boycott Beck! If you don't agree with someone, then they should be censored or shut down completely! Free speech only applies to liberals, you know.. everyone else should be imprisoned or shot. One day even you liberals will be sorry because YOU will not have free speech either. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:28:39 -0500 Glenn Beck should have said, "If your church or your government starts using words like economic justice or social justice or saying things similar then look closely and discern what is being said as it may reflect ideas of communism or nazism". Nothing's free but so many think that. The church needs to tell people they need to help others in need, to help others to make good choices, to rise up and get into school or training of some type and to do smart things to make and save money and to raise a family properly, etc., etc. We need to do these and other good things...maybe the government needs to act similarly. But, we can not fall prey to a system of taking from the 'haves' and giving to the 'have-nots' to improve society. If these latter types of things are done, we are all going to pay for them and suffer for them. We simply can not start taking from those who do the right things to give to those who do not do the right things and so often are not willing to do so. We can not do those same things ourselves to get ahead, to improve ourselves, and then allow the government to turn around and rob us to do what is ridiculous. I can't exactly quote the saying but it is said that to give someone a fish feeds him for the moment but to teach him to fish will enable that person to take care of himself for life. If we happen to get a President or Congress which does these giveaway things over and over, it is not Christian, it is not right and it fails. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:03:29 -0500 As Glenn Beck has a right to speak his mind, so does anyone who doesn't like what he is saying has a right to no agree with him.Beck has a lot of interesting things to say. Most of it is true especially when it comes to what progressives are doing to our country. Beck is in no way a spokesman for conservatives. How quickly yall forget him being on CNN bashing what the bush administration and conservative in congress were doing to our country.He has said many times Bush and Obama are progressive. So he isn't speaking for political parties. He's speaking out against what is happening to our country. He has great passion when he does this. There is another right we all have, the separation of church and state, remember that one.I think Beck is trying to warn people about preachers and churches trying to influence people on how to vote cause it's "god's will"Personally I think the churches would benefiy from our country becoming socialist. Things would get way worse for the united states, misery would be wide spread and lots more people would likely seek religion, driving up attendance and revenues. http://MSN Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:39:23 -0500 Beck is right on. The church is not in the business of influncing the government to the work of Christians. Individual Christians can do what they want to do. If a group wants to help the poor, then they should be free to do so. However, there is a big difference when a group of Chritians do something and the church as an official body does something. Someone said earlier and they are correct, the church as an official body is to proclaim the gospel and educate its members to follow the teachings of Christ. The church as an official body is not to engage in social issues per se. You will not find this in the Great Commission of Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20 nor in Acts 1:8. Much of the confusion I have read on this blog is a result of ignorance of the New Testament and extremely poor interpretation of the Holy Scriptures. Radio News Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:49:51 -0500 On Jan. 21, 2009, every ultra right conservative in this country took every single major problem we have and immediately began to blame it all on Obama. These people are woefully shortsighted and apparently have a very poor memory of the bush-cheney years. Radio News Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:39:12 -0500 in the mouth of a godly man, social justice is a good thing. the godly man uses his own money to help the poor. the men in politics are calling for help for the poor. are they willing to use their own money? in the mouth of a perverse man, social justice is evil. GOD does not force people to do anything. it must be from your heart. social justice from a perverse man is robbery and deceit. the perverse man wants to take your money to pay his bills. there is nothing wrong with social justice, if the justice is not corrupted. Radio News Sat, 13 Mar 2010 01:38:33 -0500 I’m creating a new category of political perspectives. I’ll be known as a ‘backgrounder’. Te reason is because I do not affiliate myself with a party but I utilize common sense and am not influenced by partisan popularity. Let me summarize my views: It is apparent that people will follow/believe someone’s views so long as they have a prominent platform (fox news) I dub this the Jim Jones Syndrome. People are easily influenced so long as the inciter is convincing & expresses conviction in their delivery. I’ve listened to Glen Beck/Sean Hannity and they are SO convinced they’re right they project this. It doesn’t need to be right. When they are fact checked it isn’t accurate but even the facts are questioned cause your influenced beyond rational. Glen Beck, I heard a radio broadcast where he was promoting a ‘revival’. A caller called in and Glen spoke to him & understood him completely until the caller expressed he felt uncomfortable with an event entitled ‘revival’ being headed up by a Mormon. Glen quickly hung up & proceeded to discredit the caller by labeling him as having an ’agenda’. I thought to myself; wait a minute; you’re saying he has an agenda because he has an opinion? Isn’t that the basis of your show? Your success? Yet when someone has a different view you sever it instead of allow him to express it. The very basis of your position is being an American yet you stomp out free speech on your show? Sean Hannity, where do I begin! You are an inciter! All the stories in the news and your program focuses primarily on discrediting democrats. I remember when the little girl was missing & the news covered the story extensively. It seemed like a segment you were so eager to end so you could move on to hating the democrats. Will your show end when Republicans take power? You’ll have nothing to discuss! Maybe then you’ll have a panel of more than one democrat in your ‘great, great, great American panel? I don’t understand how someone so ‘apparently’ intelligent can be so stupid. Again, I’m not a democrat but your views/opinions are so outrageously partisan it makes it difficult for rational thinking “INDEPENDENTS” which is who you’re trying to influence correct? Cause your party will understand your radical views anyway since no one seems to want to have their own opinion but merely follow their party. So tell me, what happened to the people who had a conscious? The ones that say, my party has NO influence on me I’m here for the people I represent. They no longer exist. Sean, yes you believe your opinion! BUT, you refuse to believe that Others have & are entitled to theirs. And lets take a trip back in history real quick. Union/Confederacy. If there wasn’t different opinions where would we be? I have a feeling if you existed back then me as a black man would have feared your ‘opinion’. Sometimes Sean compromise is the best solution. Stop thinking your ‘opinions’ are fact! You’re contributing to hate! You say you’re a Christian man? Seriously, Could you walk along side of Jesus and spew the messages you do on air? How do you think he would respond? In agreement? Jesus would sit back & say, wow Glen/Sean, you really make valid points? Maybe you guys should lead these people to salvation! Do you EVER think of things in realistic terms or your ‘opinions’ are so strong you can’t reason beyond them. I can justify anything I do within my own mind. I kill a person I can say convince myself they deserved it. I abandon a baby; I can convince myself the baby deserved it. This is your reality. Convincing yourselves. Your crime, attempting to convince others! These are NOT facts. You do not prove everything you say you merely believe it just as Jim Jones did! You know philosophy teaches a diverse array of possibilities but I always believed that you can believe the most outrageous things in life but the only way you can prove the truth is to die and see for yourself. Until then we’re all just guessing. But once someone has a platform/education etc they feel entitled to ‘know’ the truth. As a ‘christian’ man is there no concern that these incitements will be challenged someday? Or is it so important that this is a sacrifice you’re willing to make. Sean you’re willing to advocate Sara Palin? You have to admit it’s simply because she’s a conservative! She is not an intelligent woman! You would seriously rather an unqualified person be in office simply cause they shared your views? Ridiculous! It’s funny to me observing from a neutral standpoint. I have no vested interest. I don’t belong to a party. But I see the reality in situations & it would appear that there is no longer anyone with power/influence that truly represents the interest of the people without pushing their own agenda! SHAMEFUL. I’m sure you’ll edit my remarks, discredit me by whatever means, its part of my point. You can’t just represent the people without an agenda. Make me look bad so my credible point no longer has validity. Here’s my opinion! You believe in ‘GOD’ yet he’s just an image, an idea. Cause if you truly believe he existed & his beliefs were credible would you sincerely push the views you do? If he was physically on your shows critiquing would you have the same content? If you answer yes you’re lying! He would be disgusted. BUT, he would forgive you…..unlike your positions! HYPOCRITES! It's funny how as long as someone closely resembles your views on any topic you'll defend their rediculous position....Glenn Beck/Sean Hannity lie...and stupid people belive them. Radio News Sat, 13 Mar 2010 01:44:30 -0500 Social Justice and Economic Justice have nothing to do with helping the poor. It is take what the rich have earned and give it to the poor. If we choose to help the poor it should be on our own terms and not the government forcing us to do it.That is the very deffinition of Socializm. We should help the poor and the needy, because God has commanded it. But for the government to take that choice away from us and proclaim it into law is unconstitutional and against the law. Glen Beck is not saying don't help the poor. He is saying that the government shouldn't be able to make that decision for us, and that religions shouldn't ask its members to vote for laws that will remove our agency. I fought to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, and I will be damned if some jackass that made it to the White House on false pretenses is going to take my freedoms that I defended from me.I will ask for his impeachment before I will allow him to remove the very principles of this country.I will find a way to lead a march against him if he tries to make us a Socialist country. If you want to be a Socialist, move to China or North Korea. That is a perfect example of social and economic justice. If that is how you want to live then be my guest to leave. I think Glen Beck was right, but he did a crapy job at getting his point through. He could have explained it a little better for the simple minded liberals out there. Radio News Sat, 13 Mar 2010 02:42:27 -0500 I don't know why Beck and others like him are so hateful and bitter towards people that have different views than they do. I feel sorry for all of them Radio News Sat, 13 Mar 2010 02:49:58 -0500 Glen Beck is a horrifyingly nasty, miserable, useless blowhard that lives for the sound of his own voice. His 'opinions' cannot even be termed that as they aren't something that a reasonable, clear thinking individual would ever form. He speaks of the bad Nazis but given half a chance he would be waiting in line to get the job of Ovenkeeper at Auschwitz. Mr.Beck is nothing but a crazed, unintelligent egomaniac that spews hatred and racism. Radio News Sat, 13 Mar 2010 04:36:38 -0500 Wow William, write a book next time. I do not know you,nor shall I will judge you, lest me be judged. quote: "I don’t understand how someone so ‘apparently’ intelligent can be so stupid.", or how people can (believe in them), as you state What a generalization of about 30-40 million people. STUPID PEOPLE!! You say you listen to Glenn Beck but didn't know that he colaborated on a series of painting that were titled: FAITH - Sam Adams; HOPE - George Washington; and finally, Finally - CHARITY - Ben Franklin. Charity, get it? Also what facts have you checked that Glenn quotes that are not accurate? I believe he has a whole team working on those. Now to lump in Glenn Beck along with Sean Hannity, two different opinions; exactly, OPINIONS!! I do think that Sean is politically biased, Glenn -I don't think so. (Personally I think Rush is a racist and a narcissit.) I empathize with you being black and how some people come off as slighty racist, but I have never hear one racist comment come out of Glenn's mouth that is racist. As a person raised in the south and growing up in a poor neighborhood I can understand how that can sometimes be a generalization of conservative white people, but this is not the 50's. I was born in the 70's and my best friends in elementery and middle school where black and continued to be my best friends until high school and they decided to hang out with their "own". No problem. Married a Puerto Rican and have a son togther and have a happy, loving marriage. But I consider myself a conservative; IE: It is not government's job to raise my kid, support me, give me a job, correct the mistakes I have made myself(I find myself making 10$ a hour after being layed off and not improving myself when I was making good money) or giving more of my income to support other people who haven't made the right decisions for themselves or their family. but I also do not drink the koolaid that a lot on the "right" ("left", who cares)But one thing that Glenn does and the others don't, is that he encourages you to do your own research, don't just take his word for it. It's his opinion, take it as a grain of salt until you can prove it yourself. He asks you to research what he says, research our countries founders and what the country was founded on, (liberty, independence, free interprise). I do believe that the US gives more to charity and worldwide disasters than any one else(see Haiti), and look up the history of progressive/socialist countries and decide which one you would want to live in? I think you will find that "If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." and "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master". George Washington Radio News Sat, 13 Mar 2010 20:58:48 -0500 Glenn Beck is very intelligent, researches the facts and presents them to his audience. He is a True Patriot who loves the USA. What a great country this is to live in. No, we are not perfect but all other countries are not either. We are always as a country coming to the aid of other countries. We do need to come together as a nation to once again make her the best nation in the world. God bless AMERICA. Radio News Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:52:10 -0400 ...yawn..... Radio News Mon, 15 Mar 2010 10:39:18 -0400 Glenn Beck: Entertainer. A very sly and wiley one. He makes money by stirring controversy and has hit on a successful combination of tent revival and morning zoo. He started this long ago but found the easiest marks are rabid conservatives, and I hope he keeps it up because he and the others like him make me a lot of money.Y'all keep listening, ya hear? Radio News Mon, 15 Mar 2010 12:47:55 -0400 Posted for Barry D. Wood:Philip Barlow is correct if the focus is on individual action rather than state action. Glenn Beck was talking about those who use the phrase "social justice" to mean the exercise of the confiscatory power of the state. Most graphically, it is the forcible taking of assets from one group of people (who earned them) for redistribution to another group (who did not earn them) through the exercise of governmental power. Jesus Christ advocated no such thing. Rather, he sought to persuade the wealthy to give to the less fortunate -- voluntarily. Converting the gift to a tax deprives the giver of any merit for the act of giving, and deprives the recipient of appreciation for the sacrifice that the distribution represents. The Mormon Church has never advocated high taxes and additional government programs to support those who cannot or will not work. Instead, the Church operates a network of farms and factories that, along with cash offerings from Church members, provides for the needs of Church members out of work as well as disaster relief in all parts of the world. These are mainly staffed by volunteer labor and, to the extent possible, by those receiving the aid, so that able-bodied recipients can maintain their self-respect.Members of the Mormon Church contribute a higher proportion of their incomes (typically more than ten percent) to charity than any other religious group in America. The Church has no paid ministry on the local level, so a higher proportion of those resources are available for the relief of the poor and disaster victims than would be true of churches with professional clergies. Presumably Glenn Beck pays a full tithe on his income, at a minimum. If so, he is a better position to discuss this issue (having walked the charitable walk) than those who give very little of their personal funds to charity, but who would force you, through taxation, to finance the "social justice" causes that they favor. http://junkgohere2hotmail.com Radio News Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:39:31 -0400 Wholly cow, folks are NOW upset that the church is being mixed up in politics? Where was this outrage during the past administration in which they embraced pretty much nothing but faith based organizations? Glenn Beck, Hannety, Rush, Oberman, Oreilly are all entertainers, nothing more (albeit really bad entertainers). But really, who takes any of these ad kings seriously other then the pawns who never actually read any books? This is nothing new people. My own church drives me nuts with politics and at times I choose not to even go on election times due to the nonsense of the "reading between the lines" messages. Heck, my church still likes to pump their chests that the founding fathers were all 100% Christian when it is quite proven not to be true, yet they always want to brainwash us that the country is going down the drains and there is a big evil agenda out there to destroy Christianity. And why? Because not everyone drinks the coolaide. Radio News Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:40:01 -0400 Beck is a good addition to the national discussion. We forget that for years, all we got was Walter Cronkite, Chet Huntley and whoever ABC had anchoring at the moment.Fox has some good current events programming these days, except some of their news bunnies are all hair and no brains. Radio News Wed, 14 Apr 2010 09:52:01 -0400 Having watched Beck's T.V. show on Fox news and listened to his radio broadcast for over a year now, I can tell you with ABSOLUTE certainty that this article is dishonest and misleading. It's probably written by a person who has never watched Beck or really has done any kind of REAL journalistic research. DO NOT trust this kind of garbage. The RBR-TVBR author doesn't even have the courage to put his name down. It's these kind of drive-by articles that mislead people who trust (blindly) that the person who writes articles (like this), have done their research and are giving you a TRUE, UNBIASED report.Watch his show, then research what he says, and draw you're own conclusions.IMO, Beck is an honest and TRUTHFUL man. Any man that says (as he does) Don't just believe me. RESEARCH what he says. His favorite saying that is a quote from Thomas Jefferson one of our GREATEST founding fathers.... "Question with BOLDNESS". Although the original quote was about GOD, you can apply this to ANYTHING!!! Beck talks about the founding fathers and wants America to go back to their ORIGINAL design which did not include the government to force people to give to charity. It was based on (as elegantly said here by many posts) a FREE people to DECIDE through the kindness of THEIR heart to VOLUNTARILY give to charity.This guy (Rev. Jim Wallis) has already been exposed by Glenn. He's a Marxist. Check for yourself. Now if you think that Marxism is good, look it up. Bottom line is, WE ARE NOT SOCIALISTS!!!! Read up about Socialism and why it doesn't work; Communism and Marxism!!!!It's no surprise that a Marxist like Rev Jim Wallis (who is the new spiritual adviser to Obama) is telling people to not listen to Beck."QUESTION WITH BOLDNESS"!!!!!
