This is an astute article and I believe it is spot on.

Rather than direct confrontation, change the paradigm.
Beck is inside the OODA loop.

It’s a good starting point.
Every society needs a sound foundation on which to build. Man needs to be tethered by natural law not his own whims.

Beck realizes the problem is much more than just ridding ourselves
of communist representatives, senators, and the president;
we must change the hearts and minds of the people who put them there.

Very good.

My comment to those that wondered what was Beck’s point?

“If you have to ask...”

If Beck is so strong on the religion and moral part -- then why did he come out in support of same-sex marriage instead of what the Bible says:

 
Marriage = One Man and One Woman

God can be invoked in public places by citizens, who vote and assemble and speak and freely exercise their religion. They are supposed to be too browbeaten to do this. Gathering hundreds of thousands of them to peaceably assemble shows they are not. But showing that the people who believe in God and practice their religion are fellow-citizens who share political and economic values with majorities of Americans is a critical step.

Oh, the "Moral Majority"....never heard of it.

Beck is unabashed that God can be invoked in public places by citizens, who vote and assemble and speak and freely exercise their religion. They are supposed to be too browbeaten to do this.

I think you are right on; we HAVE been too browbeaten to do any of the things that free people should be doing -- praying in public, exercising rights, being proud of this country. The left has done an excellent job FOR DECADES at keeping freedom-loving people quiet -- because THEY'RE the experts -- they know best how to govern, how to teach our kids, how to be an American.

But I think a corner has been turned. I think we're in the middle of another Great Awakening and the forces of darkness are going to go nuts now. But let them. The forces of light ALWAYS conquer the darkness -- if enough people carry the light inside them.

Beck sees himself as fulfilling Joseph Smiths “White Horse” prophecy and saving the constitution

All well and truly stated ... not to mention, having 700,000 of your fellow conservative Americans stand up and defy political correctness run amok tends to encourage you to do likewise. THAT is possibly the greatest benefit from Glenn Beck's Faith, Hope, and Charity Rally.

The race hustlers can no longer cower we the people with the fake race card, since Alveda has shown it is a sham.

Leftist progressives can no longer tell we the people that they may not worship God openly, because 8/28 proved we the people cvan do it!

Leftist societal engineers can no longer tell we the people that there can be no mingling of religious belief and political empowerment, while deopending upon doing just that to manipuyalte black people in their churches because we the people have these unalienable rights that God grants, not leftist societal engineering pukes like infest the Democrat Party and the elit of the Republican party.

Great analysis. I just wrote a piece yesterday along the same lines called What was Glenn Beck's 'Restoring Honor' rally really about? (Maybe not what you think)

I need to do a rewrite based on some of the responses but some got through it (a little too mathy up front, apparently)

I don’t perceive Glenn to be a “calculated” individual. I think he does what comes from the heart.. And America is desperate for it; God, Freedom, Our Forefathers and their great legacy.. That America is GREAT. It’s really quite simple.

Beck is building solidarity and cultural confidence in America, its Constitution, its military heritage, its freedom. This is a vision that is despised by the people who have long held the commanding heights of the culture.

Really good article. Thanks for posting.

I have a question: What is the one component that threatens and/or checks the power, the rolling thunder, of world government machinations?

Religion, of course. Not even religious faith, but religion itself, organized religion. Kill that and you control mankind.

I believe Glen Beck is very astute to understand that. Religion — yes, even islam — is what stops world government machinations from advancing. Religion must lose its legitimacy and grip on mankind before The One World Government can succeed. IMO, that is why culture wars have become so virile and incessant in this country.

** Also, as much as I despise the islamists, islam with its sheer intensity of fervor (how can the elites get a toe in; begin to contort it; begin to warp it? Perhaps “western” imams is a piece of that puzzle???) is indeed a big thorn in the side of the world government kingpins.

The Glenn Beck rally is confusing people.

I doubt that but i think you. You make excellent points but you couch it in confusing rhetoric. Regardless, thanks for being on our side.
