Glenn Beck's coded language may refer to obscure LDS doctrine

Love Glenn.
Almost love more how people freak about him.

Beck will get booted off Fox because his program is getting too much rooted in the truth for Fox News, and apparently Madison Avenue, to handle it. I told you before that his biggest problem is that he is not extreme enough, but he is progressively getting there quickly . Some might mistakenly read that as him being crazy, but they'll learn that's not the case. He's right.

Rupert Murdoch isn't this conservative monster that some people would have you believe, he's a progressive globalist. Roger Ailes has always had problems with Beck. Maybe they'll push Glenn out and he'll get involved with politics. God only knows CT could use him, they couldn't even get Peter Schiff elected over there.

I think the question is not where he gets the message/themes from, but if he is sending the correct interpretation.

Well, of course it is uniquely difficult in Mormonism to call a particular interpretation correct or incorrect, being rooted as it is on the principle of personal revelation. Hence the old Mormon adage about putting 100 Mormons in a room, and having a room full of people who believe 100 different things.

But can you find sources for them?

Glenn Beck has the 100% support of Fox News management."

https://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=2703651

Whatever the reason, his popularity is astonishing. Since joining Fox News from CNN last year, he has attracted nearly three million viewers for his 5 p.m. television broadcast, a time slot considered one of the worst in the industry. His radio show is aired on more than 400 affiliates and he has had six bestselling books.

I don't think Beck has to worry about his popularity or salary wavering.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck

In June 2009, estimators at Forbes calculated Beck's earnings over the previous 12 months at $23 million, with 2009–2010 revenues on track to be higher.[65] Although the majority of his revenue results from his radio show and books, his website's 5 million unique visitors per month also provides at least $3 million annually, while his salary at Fox News is estimated at $2 million per year.[65] Additionally, Beck's online magazine Fusion sells an array of Beck-themed merchandise,[65] while his website offers a web subscription service called "Insider Extreme" where for $75 a year one gets access to behind-the-scenes footage and a fourth hour of his daily radio show.[1] In April 2010, Forbes calculated Beck's earnings for the previous year (March 2009 - March 2010) to be $32 million

Funny, it's always the conservatives I see with teh yellow stripes anytime a Mulim gets within 100 miles of them.

So you admit that you liberals are scared of Beck instead of refuting my point? Cool

Because you're killing the tax on tanning booths and premium health plans? Outside of that, Obama's plan (which is nothing like socialized medicine) was self-funded. Killing those two revenue streams won't change that.

How is it self funded when it adds trillions to our national deficit? Deficits that our kids and their grand-kids will pay off? How do you give health care to the lazy for free? The savings you're talking about are made because the CBO predicts that Medicare will be cut by $2 trillion over the next 10 years. Want to bet me to see if that happens?

https://biggovernment.com/pferrara/2010/03/19/the-obamacare-deficit-fraud/

America today suffers the spectacle of a President of the United States, and Democrat Congressional leadership, proclaiming to the nation that their socialized medicine plan will reduce budget deficits, based on fantastic assumptions of trillions of dollars in intractable cuts to Medicare that would leave that program unworkable in delivering health care to the America’s seniors.

https://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/cbo-obamacare-would-cost-over-2-trillion

But $2.0 trillion wouldn’t be the total ten-year costs. Instead, that would merely be the “gross cost of coverage provisions.” Based on earlier incarnations of the proposed overhaul, the total costs would be about a third higher (the exact number can’t be gleaned from the CBO’s analysis, which is only preliminary and is not a full scoring) — making the total price-tag between $2.5 and $3 trillion over the bill’s real first decade.

How would we pay for all of this? According to the CBO, by diverting $1.1 trillion away from already barely-solvent Medicare and spending it on Obamacare, and by increasing taxes on the American people by over $1 trillion. Among the Medicare cuts would be cuts of $25,000 in Medicare Advantage benefits per enrollee — up from $21,000 in the previous scoring. To be clear, those living in South Florida wouldn’t have to worry about this, as the newly politicized nature of health care would cause them to be exempted. These cuts would affect only less-fortunate seniors, namely those living in just about any other part of the country.

Medicare already suffers an unfunded liability of $38 trillion according to Medicare’s own government actuaries. What Obama and Congressional Democrats are proposing is to loot $2.5 trillion from Medicare over the next 20 years to spend on new entitlements under Obamacare, and leave Medicare with that overwhelming unfunded liability.

Still, since the conservatives have almost no chance at winning the Senate, and no chance at all of getting 2/3 of either the house or the Senate, your bravado seems to lack support in reality.

You're about to lose your Senate Majority Leader....

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Nevada finds Angle with 49% support and Reid at 48%.

Mike Lee ousted long term liberal Bob Bennett here in Utah. All around we're seeing a revolution. People are beginning to remember the Constitution. This is the cycle that is explained in the book 5,000 year Leap. You should read it.

Free markets are very good at creating wealth for the wealthy and keeping the poor poor.

It also keeps people motivated to work. It's also the foundation of our country. Sorry, we aren't socialists here. This country was founded upon freedom. You can be rich here if you want, just work at it. You can be a bum if you want, but just don't expect me to pay for it.

Since there have been taxes.

Yeah, because the government takes our taxes. That doesn't mean that they generate money or jobs. The private sector creates jobs and money, not government.

I understand the bleeding hearts in today's discussion. But the bottom line is, we cannot allow the government to hijack the auto industry, take over the health care industry, and tax us all to death. This country was founded upon freedom. And if the people of this country do not hold leaders to uphold the Constitution, then we give them unlimited power.
That's why I love watching Glenn Beck. Hate him if you want, but he's out there warning us about the dangers of giving one man, Obama, complete and unlimited power. Our government needs to get back to the principles that the founding fathers established.

Freedom, free market, and small and limited federal government.

lol Did you really feel the need to respond to that? Big Fundy doesn't get what the most liberal senator and the entire world do. There are all those studies that show pretty much zero economic growth for 9800 years, then KABOOOM! Laissez faire released human capital. But yeah, it only made rich folk like Warren Buffett, George Soros, the Rockefeller family, the Kennedy's, and Billiam Gates (all libs) better off. We're all surf's bro. I'm so ****ing serious. Life sux. I want a sickle, a horse, and flint and steel. That was the life bro. You're a moron.

Using the quotes of seven months ago to refute a story two weeks old? Not effective.

So you admit that you liberals are scared of Beck instead of refuting my point? Cool

What am I supposed to scared of?

How is it self funded when it adds trillions to our national deficit?

The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act has been rated to very slightly reduce the deficit, compared to the situation before it passed. Your question is based on a false premise, and is therefore moot.

The savings you're talking about are made because the CBO predicts that Medicare will be cut by $2 trillion over the next 10 years.

I refuse to believe you really think the CBO is that stupid. Relying on a site by Brietbart for you information is naive. If I recommended a site by Michael Moore, how seriously would you take it? How many times does Breitbart have to show his untrustworthiness before you realize what he is?

You're about to lose your Senate Majority Leader....

Even if Nevadans will actually vote for Angle over Reid, why should that bother me? Reid has hardly been an effective leader of the Senate. However, saying he is "about to lose" when the race is too close to call is what I would expect from Breitbart.

People are beginning to remember the Constitution.

It's about time. Liberals never forgot about it.

It also keeps people motivated to work.

Name a country where people are not motivated to work due to "socialist" policies.

Sorry, we aren't socialists here. This country was founded upon freedom.

Socialists believe in freedom, as well.

You can be rich here if you want, just work at it.

Anyone who paid attention to the last half of the 19th century knows that, for the vast majority, hard work offered no relief from poverty.

Yeah, because the government takes our taxes. That doesn't mean that they generate money or jobs. The private sector creates jobs and money, not government.

Government spending winds up creating jobs with more efficiency than private wealth. If you really want more jobs, you'll support higher taxes.

I understand the bleeding hearts in today's discussion. But the bottom line is, we cannot allow the government to hijack the auto industry, take over the health care industry, and tax us all to death.

The government is trying to sell it's share of the auto industry. Should it have let GM and Chysler close shop instead? Many world economies thrive with much greatergovernment involvement in health care than Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act grants our government. We are a long way from being "taxed to death".

That's why I love watching Glenn Beck. Hate him if you want,

Why would he be worth hating?

but he's out there warning us about the dangers of giving one man, Obama, complete and unlimited power.

Most of that power was given to Bush. All of a sudden, it's scary that Obama has it. Hmm....

Hence the old Mormon adage about putting 100 Mormons in a room, and having a room full of people who believe 100 different things.

I think that is less true of Mormons than almost any other religion. Trust me, you cannot get a group of Church of England members to agree about even the most basic doctrines of their church. Mormons have had a lot of instruction in the basic doctrines of the church and basically believe in all of them if they are participating members.

I have never been able to listen to Glenn Beck for more than 10 seconds at a time - I think I am up to about 30 seconds total so far.

Disagree. Since there's no professional clergy there's a significant amount of lay-doctrine and substantial regional differences in emphasis.
