Bump (again).
Links to support what you say would be nice.
To think I left the upper west side to move in with you!:)
I don't know what Levin's "stuff" is Beck is supposed to have "borrowed".
And, though I like reading his books, 10 minutes of hearing Mark Levin’s voice is all I can take.
My quote: "The Levin drones are like we personally don't like Glenn's presentation..." was a reply to reaganaut's quote: "but either way his presentation turns me off."
I love Mark Levin dearly - don't get me wrong. I see goodness and cleansing in Beck's speech. If he needs to go well off in one direction for the Country to meet him 3/4 of the way...I say it's a smart move. If he wants a third party I will be the first to go against him.
You sure youre not talkin bout Levin. There are people on this thread who worship him. And he definitely is an egomaniac who thinks it dont stink. Maybe Levin needs a reality check, to make sure he doesnt think he is God.
Well...I was trying to be nice. To make up for my FB post last night.
“Egad...’Suggestions’: Become a fan of John McCain! 544,717 other people can’t be wrong! Ditto Glenn Beck, 676,355. Put em together, get John Glenn, send him on a one-way trip into orbit, and at least 1,221,072 people won’t know what to do for the next week or so. I’d rather see the ads about hot Asian women looking for a guy just like me! I won’t click on it, but I’ll sure look at it!”
A trifle mean, perhaps...
I’m sorry you misunderstood.
The living don’t marry the dead, the living stand in proxy for the dead who are then married for eternity to each other.
Lets say you and your wife/husband are Mormon converts, married before you join with 2 kids.
After one year, you both go to the temple and take out your ‘endowments’. This is where you learn secret handshakes, get a new name and take oaths (they used to be violent blood oaths but they have toned them down). Then you and your spouse are “sealed” to each other, this means that although you were married your marriage was for this life only, once you are sealed you are married ‘for time and all eternity’ meaning you will still be married in the afterlife.
Then you will have your kids ‘sealed’ to you so they will be part of the family unit in the next life as well.
After that, you and spouse decide to do the ‘temple work’ for your never mormon grandparents who died several years ago.
So you and your spouse (or someone else) is baptized in their name so they (after death) become mormon (but not counted as a memeber), then you and your spouse go through the endowment ceremony in proxy for them (as them using their names) to they know all the handshakes and take all the oaths and get THEIR new name.
Then you and your spouse are sealed or married for eternity in their names as well so THEY will be married in the next life, and then you will have your dad and aunt and uncle (only the ones that are dead) sealed to your grandparents as their children.
This is the main reason why Mormons are so obsessed with genealogy. They believe everyone who has ever lived HAS to have this work done for them in order for that person to get to the Celestial Kingdom (mormon heaven).
Is that any clearer?
It’s what it do. /sarc
Correction: It’s what I do. /sarc
When Beck came out with his book on “Common Sense” that is when this started and I would listen to Mark and wonder except for Mark personal legal knowledge (which Beck ever talked about) everything else was public domain.
I still could never figure out what it was that Beck took from Mark!
And when you think about it I don’t think there wasn’t enough hours to get stuff for a radio and TV shows and all the books he read and of course his family life so where would he get the time to listen to Mark?
Try Googling it and a trip to the library to get the books of Beck and Levin, plus the writings of Thomas Paine. Then check out Breitbart vs the YouTube videos of Beck’s shows. Also, I can get from Mark’s show archives to back up what I say what Mark said that’s prove Beck said nearly the same soon thereafter.
Agreed.
Well said. It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that there’s a conservative in him who will awaken.
The sooner the better, under the circumstances.
Wow, resty invoking fear? really. I am allowed to post on any thread I choose (except caucus) and you are allowed the same. I have no idea where you get the idea that I am restricting your freedom. Sounds paranoid.
And as I have told you many times, I don’t hate Mormons, I don’t trust many of them but that is based upon experience.
If I hated them, I would adopt a ‘live and let live’ attitude rather than try to teach them the truth.
Although I am always intrigued by how so many of the LDS will vote for another LDS (even a RINO like Romney) over a non-mormon conservative candidate.
Politics and religion are tightly intertwined in Utah. Too tightly.
