I hate having to write editorials like this. Because every time I do, some idiotic liberal takes what I write and twists them to suit their own means. I have personal experience with that sort of a thing, as you can see by clicking here. However, one must accept the things that go along with being someone who speaks the unspeaking truths that are often covered up by those who wish to remain “Politically Correct” — let me be blunt about that; I do not know the meaning of the word.
Looks like Glenn Beck pulled off his big rally in Washington D.C. today. Even the far right’s resident shrieking harpy was there; Yes, I am referring to Sarah Palin. From reports that I have read, Glenn Beck’s rally outnumbered a rally planned by the resident black race hustler Al Sharpton by 5 to 1. From the reports that I have read, Al Sharpton could only muster about 3000 people at his rally. Which is not too awfully surprising, as many within the black community have said that Al Sharpton’s brand of racial incitement is old hat and many young black people consider him to be nothing more than that of a race hustler.
Now back to Glenn Beck’s rally; there were a few things, which I noticed about his rally — I watched a great deal of it, before turning off the feed and going to take my daily afternoon nap. Now, unless I missed something, I noticed a great deal of black singers, black speakers and so forth. I have to ask the question, which most likely no one else will ask, because they are scared or fear retribution, which I do not — The question is where were all the WHITE Gospel singers or Christian singers? Where were all of the great-impassioned white men to speak of Christianity and Love and the greatness of America? What I saw at Glenn Beck’s rally was nothing more than the largest capitulation to the black race. Like we White people actually owe them something. Did not America already do that when Congress signed a law in December of 1865, when the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified? Did not America already do that in 1964, when the civil rights act was signed into law? Then why is it, that Glenn Beck is using a rally to say to the black community, “we surrender?” My point is here is this; do we as Americans allow political correctness and a desire to heal wounds that were not even afflicted by any White Americans alive today, cause us to rewrite and surrender the TRUE history of America for the sake of political correctness?
Ladies and Gentleman, we have to be real about this, we cannot go around revising history. America was not settled and founded by blacks. American was settled and founded by White Puritan Christians from Great Britain! They were White Puritan Christians who were tired of having to live under the rule of tyranny. In 1619, America began importing blacks as slaves into the United States of America. This practice continued in the south until the passage of the thirteenth amendment. Now, do I justify this ugly, awful and elicit activity? Of course, I do not. In fact, If I had anything to do with the founding of America I would have entreated to the founders of America, that we could never be a true free Nation as long as Blacks were being held captive against their wills and being forced to labor for the White man.
However, we cannot sit and act like the black race or any other race had any part in the founding of America, because they did not. Anyone who says anything other than that is feebly trying to revise the true history and the founding of America.
Furthermore, another thing that troubles me about this rally is this, the over Christianizing of the founding of America. I do realize that the founders of America were men of faith, but to say that America is in fact a Christian Nation, is a mere fallacy. Most of the founders of America were, what most would call today, “Religious,” but they were hardly “Pew Jumpers.” Furthermore, I find Glenn Beck’s use of a rally to turn people to God extremely troubling. Glenn Beck is, as some of you know, a Mormon. Now in the interest of full disclosure: I am a Fundamental Baptist — a King James Believing, Independent Fundamentalist Baptist. I make no bones about it, when I say to you, that I do not believe, for one second, that Mormons are actually Christians. They are not; they are false believers, who believe in an extremely dangerous religion, which closely resembles another dangerous practice: Free Masonry. One only need read “The Enchanter” by Jack Chick to learn the dangers of Mormonism. Further, one only need read this site here, to learn about dangers of the practice of Masonry.
So, to Glenn Back: What is it sir, that you were trying to achieve? Because this white, libertarian-minded, Conservative is unconvinced. Further, I found your blatant attempt of Christianizing of the political square, to be sickening. I believe that Christianity, as well as any other religion, should be kept in the Churches, Synagogues, Mosques or other places of worship —- and not in my face.
Well, yeah, not your best post, Patrick. Ever heard of Crispus Attucks, for example? That’s something having to do with the founding, and while no, slaves didn’t “found” the country, their struggles — and blacks more generally — has certainly helped shape who we are. It’s not politically correct to mention it, and I can’t even stand political correctness. I didn’t watch the feed. Perhaps having black singers and musicians is a sign of unity in this era. But I wasn’t there. Looks like a great event all around.
From the Wikipedia Entry of the person you mention:
So, in other words, it’s a legend, that has no basis in fact.
I stand by my words.
Wow, man, you have lost some followers since I last visited your site. As far as the Restoring Honor Event, I attended and found it very refreshing. The only message was turn to Christ. We cannot change people. The Lord has to do a work in their heart. I really doubt someone who did not believe in the divinity of Christ would encourage people to turn to Him. I believe Christ said a house divided against itself would not stand. Christ and all those who have followed Him have been labeled everything in the book. Thing is, Christ is not politically correct and His Righteousness will trump our will and desires every time. No matter what Beck’s “agenda” is, turning to Christ and asking Him to guide us is the best advice anyone can give.
….and you base this smear on what????
I’m happy for you. Mormon’s ain’t Christians, period. End of discussion.
Good Day!
I appreciate your discernment, when somebody says turn to Jesus if they have a different view of who / what Jesus is then it means something different. However, most people do not know that much about the Mormon faith, so it fails to be effective Mormon recruitment.
I’m afraid I did not watch the event so I risk being way off course on my comment. Which is 1/2 in agreement and 1/2 in disagreement with your post. I think there can be to little religion in the public square as well as to much. Out here in California we have a desert with 10000s of hills. One of the hills had a cross on it – which is no longer there. I think we are a long way from to much religion. And we are suffering the ills from being so demoralized or de-religionized … de-religionized is not the correct word, there is no lack of religion there is a lack of biblical truth – de-biblicalized.
To heal we need to realize how sick we are and that we are in desperate need of a savior. We can not save ourselves by good works, and this one of the problems with false Christianity in all of its many forms is they want to change the terms of salvation.
However all false Christianity draws from the the real thing, even the antichrist tries to deceive. We do need to turn to God, this part is true. But watch out for the false gods. If God uses Beck to bring more people to turn to scripture and find a scriptural Church that is a good thing.
For those seeking a better understanding of the differences between Mormonism and Christianity I would suggest Mormon Coffee http://blog.mrm.org/ or Ed Decker’s http://www.saintsalive.com
Thanks Wayne! I appreciate the support. 😀
Basic Christianity denounces Mormonism as preaching another Gospel. Neither do they share the same Jesus of the Christian Bible.
They reject the Old & New Testament Christian bible and embrace the book of Mormon which was racist Joseph Smith (founder)false 18th century vision of an angel that he claimed gave him another bible. He has some nerve questioning whether Pres. Obama is a Christian since he is not a true authentic Christian at all!
2nd Corinthian 11:13-14
“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ.But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light”.
Quite True and thanks for the comment.
I’m glad to see there’s someone else out there who is tired of Glenn Beck’s Mormonism infomercials. I don’t encourage South Park watching, but their Mormonism episode truly does describe what they believe – that’s why I won’t vote for anyone who is a Mormon. If they don’t have the discernment skills to not follow a religion based on secret scrying stones, they don’t have what it takes to represent us. The Great Apostasy is here, ya’ll!
Amen.
Patrick: I don’t claim he was the first killed, and besides, you don’t include the next passage at Wikipedia: “Little is known for certain about Crispus Attucks beyond that he, along with Samuel Gray and James Caldwell, died “on the spot” during the incident.” Some “legend,” eh? Dying on the spot, first, second, third … doesn’t matter as much as that that he was MASSACRED, a black man at the opening of the revolution.
And, Patrick, you write, ” America was not settled and founded by blacks. American was settled and founded by White Puritan Christians from Great Britain!” But did I ever discount that? I said that “blacks helped shape who we are.” But you don’t rebut that, or do you? Look, there’s way too much PC BS all around, but that doesn’t mean folks should be hostile to blacks in return. No?
I ain’t giving them shit. End of discussion.
