TRENDING: At rally, Beck positions himself as new leader for Christian conservatives

Re: TRENDING: At rally, Beck positions himself as new leader for Christian conservati

So? Did they also mention that the Black Robe Brigade isn't just Christians?

why do you people love to name things the way you do? how many imams are in that brigade? btw, stupid name.

He didn't name it, silly. There was a Black Robe Brigade in the 1700s. I don't know how many imams there are in there. I just know there were pastors, priests, rabbis and imams on stage with him and in the audience. There are 240 people in the Brigade. Do you think there should be a list of them so that people who disagree can target them?

Watch the video and you can see some of them behind him right at the very end of the rally.

What's the point in telling you? You'll just ridicule it like you're doing right now.

I was actually thinking, since we're talking about an imaginary place anyway, that we could have cold imaginary beer, hot pizza, and a glowing fire. ;)
A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,
A keg of ale, a large pizza, and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness—
O, Wilderness were Paradise enow!”

You don't consider it rather silly?

People of different faiths coming together for good? Why would I think that silly?

Catholics and Christian fundamentalists are hardly 'different' faiths.

Also, that's the overview of the event, but the clips of interviews I've seen still show a good number of fringe types who are all about Obama and the Muslims.

I think Newtie opened a can of worms with the Islamic Cultural Center comments. There were many instances of vandalism toward Muslims over the weekend. So, things may have been all "God Loves Us All" on the National Mall, but in Tenn., some Americans were not feelin' the love.
 
Re: TRENDING: At rally, Beck positions himself as new leader for Christian conservati

Yeah. One guy around here shot off a gun outside a mosque (a rather non-descript structure, it wasn't singing to the world HAI THAR I BE A MOSK), and when people came out to investigate he ran one of them down.

Obviously you didn't watch the rally or you'd know it wasn't just Catholics and Christian fundies.

Oh, I don't know...

The "black robed regiment..."

It's so Star Wars Episode 1.

Sure I do, I just won't spend my time explaining it to someone who couldn't care less.

because your time is valuable.
 
Re: TRENDING: At rally, Beck positions himself as new leader for Christian conservati

So I did a little research. The Black Robe Regiment was actually restarted, as a concept, by Chuck Baldwin of the constitutionalist party back in the mid 2000s.

http://www.thenewamerican.com/index.php/history/american/1789

Chuck Baldwin has a rich history with American militia groups and just last week was urging armed revolution against the federal government on his website...

Chuck Baldwin Live | Fighting for Constitutional Government in America

And, Chuck is headed out west, to MOntana, to join up with like-minded "Patriots."

Therefore, within the next few weeks, my entire family will be moving to the Kalispell area of the great State of Montana. By my family, I mean my wife and I, my daughter and her husband and their 3 children, my oldest son and his wife and their 3 boys, my youngest son and his wife and their one child, and my wife’s mother and her husband. That’s 5 families and 17 people. Yes, my grown children and their spouses have felt the same calling. We are not only a family; we are a team. And we are headed to Montana.

God has led us to the conviction that Montana (along with other Mountain states) is going to be the tip of the spear in the freedom fight; and we believe God wants us to be part of that fight. We plan to start a new ministry where I can preach and my family can sing and minister (you should hear them sing!). Once we get established and can raise the funds, I definitely plan to livestream my messages on the Internet as we have been doing at Crossroad for the past year and a half. And if God opens the door, I will not rule out a run for State office. Yes, the freedom message is both spiritual and political; and I am afraid of neither!

For years, people have been asking me, “Chuck, what can we do?” Well, this is what God has led my family and me to do. We are convinced that the only way freedom has a chance to survive in these States united is to recapture the spirit of liberty–one State at a time. (To continue to focus on Washington, D.C., is a waste of time and energy!) And God has led us to the conclusion that Montana (and nearby states) is the place where freedom-minded patriots have a fighting chance to prevail. Instead of telling you what to do, my family and I are showing you what we believe we should do.

What message do you think that Glenn Beck is sending by co-opting this existing entity/idea?

Re: TRENDING: At rally, Beck positions himself as new leader for Christian conservati

I'm wondering why ANYONE would think this is a good idea.
 
Re: Beck reinventing himself

I don't approve of our country's direction but I don't WANT another spiritual movement which only will exclude those who aren't quite on 'the holy-board'

I want real, substantial beliefs and actions which require PEOPLE to stand up for what is RIGHT purely on the basis *that it's right* - not on the guise of what some human-construct of a 'god' wants them to do. . .

Not because i have serious issues with religions in general. . . but you cannot stand on a religion when you're trying to lead a people - who don't ALL BELIEVE in your faith. You know - common sense anyone?

That's how divisions in faiths happen. That's how country's fall apart.

The country's direction has evolved into too many different factions for Congress, stimulus, or any other artificial boost to put it back where it was. All we can realistically do is hope things get better...

We recovered in the 80s when unemployment was 10 percent, so there's good reason to believe it will happen again.
