On his Monday show, commentator Glenn Beck made the extraordinary prediction that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton would be elected president in the 2016 election.
According to Beck, that prediction is based upon a conversation a “friend” of his had with so-called “Hillary people” about the strategy she will employ in the 2016 campaign.
“They said, ‘The right is so stupid. They just don’t get it. You guys are going to all be fighting on Benghazi and everything else, and here’s what Hillary is going to do: ‘Do you remember when America was good? Do you remember when we had jobs and we were building towards a brighter future, and things were really happening? Clinton administration -- we had it under control. Things were good. They weren’t great but we’re going to do better. We’re going to replant our flag in the traditional things that you understand.’”
Beck also added that Republicans would ill-served in running on a Reagan theme because “nobody remembers Ronald Reagan,” but they remember the Clinton era as the “golden years.” And that is what on which he based his prediction....

// Mormon beliefs are all messed up.//
You have NO idea. Try living it. On average it takes 3-8 years to deprogram and that is with help and support.
I never liked Beck, didn’t trust him and for a long time I didn’t know why. Then I found out. Don’t see why people still think he has anything valuable to say
He’s still miffed Romney lost
//I read that a lot of his subscribers on facebook cancelled Blaze subscriptions recently after Beck said he believed Jesus might have been married to Mary Magdalene. That segment is on youtube://
That is Mormon doctrine, Jesus was a polygamist in their minds. They even did their ‘temple work’ just to be sure.

BTW the friend who wrote the above piece has a new one she is doing on how LDS genealogy records blaspheme Christ. One list even has Jesus’ and Mary’s supposed children listed.
See link in my post above. They even did the temple work for them. In Mormon theology the wedding at Cana was Jesus’ wedding and he was married to Mary, Mary and Martha. I have quotes plainly stating this. Beck is just stating his church’s doctrine.
I stopped paying attention to Beck a long time ago, and then he came out defending gay propaganda for kids (opposed the Russian law) and I just shook my head. There is a thousand reasons to bash Russia and he picks that one?
Harry Reid is a mormon in good standing last I heard

They consider it a ‘fall upward’ and required for Adam and Eve to procreate and bring forth the ‘plan of salvation’. The Fall is a GOOD thing in Mormonism.
, “Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient” (PGP, Moses 5:11).
The Book of Mormon (BM) says the same: “...if Adam had not transgressed.... they would have had no children; wherefore they would have remained in a state of innocence, having no joy, for they knew no misery; doing no good, for they knew no sin....Adam fell that men might be;” (BM, 2 Nephi 2:22-23).
“’TRANSGRESSION’ NOT ‘SIN’ OF ADAM,” Mormon apostle and prophet Joseph Fielding Smith, Jr. wrote, “I never speak of the part Eve took in this fall as a sin, nor do I accuse Adam of a sin” (Doctrines of Salvation, (DS), vol. 1, p. 114). Again, “This was a transgression of the law, but not a sin in the strict sense, for it was something that Adam and Eve had to do!” (Ibid., p. 115). “The ‘fall’ of Adam and Eve was not a sin but an essential act upon which mortality depends” (Smith, Answers to Gospel Questions, vol. 5, p. 15).
Bruce R. McConkie wrote, “We do not know how the fall was accomplished...” (NWAF, p. 85; emphasis added). He goes so far as to cast the Fall in terms of obedience rather than transgression: “After they had thus complied with whatever the law was that brought mortality into being,...” and “He [Adam] chose the Lord’s way;” (Ibid., pp. 86, 91; emphasis added). Assistant to the Twelve Apostles Sterling W. Sill spoke of Adam’s fall: “Adam fell, but he fell in the right direction. He fell toward the goal.... Adam fell, but he fell upward” (Deseret News, Church Section, 31 July 1965, p. 7).
Since the mortal condition was essential to the Mormon plan of salvation, the act which introduced mortality of necessity becomes a great blessing. “We can hardly look upon anything resulting in such benefits as being a sin, in the sense in which we consider sin” (Smith, DS, vol. 1, p. 115). “Properly understood, it becomes apparent that the fall of Adam is one of the greatest blessings ever given of God to mankind” (McConkie, NWAF, p. 87).

that he is. Temple worthy, full tithe payer, well respected in his ward (I know some people who were in his ward) even does his “Home Teaching” every month.
“The Fall was a glorious necessity to open the doorway toward eternal life.”

No problem. Mormons own words condemn them. The sadest part is they do not even see how their teachings blaspheme Christ.
I'm glad you got out, reaganaut.
I went to the link. That is just plain sick. I didn't know it was a tenet of Mormonism.
Beck should stick to making prank calls to convenience store clerks. That’s more his speed.
