Glenn Beck: Guy Who Wants Change and is Executed is Ultimate Progressive Story
File this one under not funny, and inappropriate.
On his radio show this morning, Glenn Beck and his crew discussed the controversy in Massachusetts over the boy who drew a crucifix and may or may not have been suspended because of it. During the discussion, Glenn Beck described a progressive’s “ultimate story.”
Well, let’s think like someone in Massachusetts. Okay. Let’s think like the progressive movement here. It’s still, even if you don’t believe in the whole Jesus story and you’re like ‘whatever.’ Let’s, can we learn anything from this. Let’s just assume that you’re a progressive and you’re like ‘he didn’t rise from the dead.’
What was the story. A guy who wanted change. He speaks out against an oppressive government. And, they execute him. What? For progressives, that’s the ultimate story.
Why this is inappropriate seems self-evident to me.

Good on them!
Beck and his TEA Party Jacobites who are morphed from the white supremacist John Birch society can launch their coup on the republicans without corporate enablers. Those of the malcontent TEA Party who are organized through a few equally extremist Christian denominations do not represent mainstream Christian values. This is a holy war of another kind. They say they will incite the bullet box (as through unloading, discharging) in any failed ballot box: Threatening and intimidating Republicans to go their way or go away. Pushing the right farther just like in the 60′s: Barry Goldwater and the Birchers. The TEA party are conservatives with roots in other so-called patriot political groups, but they all point to the Birchers. Now a few churches or denominations want to seize political power like Lenin took Moscow. NOT ON MY WATCH, NOT IN AMERICA! The TEA’s should read the Patriot Act, and if they are not in alignment with it, they are against it. They promise civil unrest and blood shed? They are not the only ones with bullet boxes to empty. The enforcers of the Patriot act do too. The TEA’s wish to cause riots and capitalize on every malcontent’s energy. Jacobite’s! Anarchists! Religious Insurgents! JACOBITES!

That’s just weird. Who even thinks of something like that? God that’s warped logic.
Yes, that’s why liberals are less inclined towards believing in Christ’s resurrection, Glenn. Because we think that without the whole rising-from-the-grave thing, it makes really good propaganda.
What? I mean… WHAT?
Christian progressives in this country have it hard. Having to listen to something like that.

There is no doubt in my mind that if Jesus were the leader of a country today, that country would be a social democracy in the Western European mold.
Jesus said many times:
Take all you have, and give to the poor.
It is easier for a cames to pass through the eye of a needle, than fora rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are the poor, the hungey, the peacemakers, etc.
Pretty sure he NEVER said:
Blessed are those who accumulate wealth and hoard it.
Blessed are those who fight against diversity and progress.
The poor are lazy and incompetent – don't support them.

What he won't tell you is that progressives are responsible for the NAACP, the 19th amendment, Child labor laws, laws limiting the amount of rat feces allowed in our food, National Parks, the salvation army, the Pure Food and Drug Act, which called for truth in labeling, and much later, the civil rights act.

Also Beck's second out of his nine points is God is the center of my life. Kinda a big middle finger to the 16% of America who is atheist or agnostic, not to mention Wiccans, Hindus, Scientoligists, etc.
