I doubt it's Gabu-Ex. He has a sig with a pile of **** on Marx's head, and a halo above Adam Smith's.

WRC has always fascinated me as well as 24hr Le Mans. Nascar is by far my least favorite, though...I mean back when it was actually stock car racing it was cool, but now its just a bunch of the exact same car with different fake bodies turning left in a somewhat speedy manner

I think you've got the wrong impression. He notices that people are slowly driving God out of this country! Which our forefathers would've not wanted. (Freedom of religion)

bbkkristian

a growing population of non Christians does not equate to Christianity being driven out of the country.it is sensationalism that him and others like him have generated to worry the masses and profit off of

Look, I can't pray publicly in school, My pastor can't ask how I am doing Spiritually unless I ask him first on school grounds (He worked there). Our New Life Club must follow specific guidlines on how they advertise their club or they will be shut down... you tell me thats not driving out Christianity. And don't you say that its not appropriate for school because some Christians apply God in Every Aspect of their life. Another thing, you can be apart of another religion and the school wont care.

You personally can pray in public while in school, but a public school cannot hold a mass prayer in the name of any one religion including christianity because public schools host a population of students from a number of world religions, and it is a professional standpoint not to preach any one religion over another in a public school. No matter what religion a person is a part of, that religion is a part of their every day life. The assumption that christianity is somehow special in that aspect is laughable. You can be a part of any religion and a public school is legally required to not care. If you would like to go to a school where christianity is celebrated, there are a multitude of private schools available for that purpose for every religion. I would once again like to stress that you are allowed to pray in a public school, in public, but that school and it's staff are not allowed to join you becaues it is unprofessional and would show support of any one religion over another in front of the children who do not share he same faith which can cause social development issues etc.

[QUOTE="longhorn7"][QUOTE="bbkkristian"] His 3 Priorities: 1. Faith (God) 2. Honor (Our Forefathers) 3. "Charity" (I put quotations around it because we are debating it.)bbkkristian

If he were honoring our forefathers, he wouldnt be attempting to force his own faith upon the masses by implying that it is the only way to be a true american on a regular basis. the majority of the founding fathers were christians, but a few were not and it is well documented. this country was founded upon freedom, not mob rule. Glenn Beck is a disgrace to conservatism and is milking the republican party for all it is worth until he can sit back on a fat retirement. he is a television personality. I say this as someone who is far from a "Liberal" or a democrat

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="longhorn7"][QUOTE="Snipes_2"] Racists Latching on Does not Equal the Movement being racist. The mere fact they're trying to Prevent any Racism is proving my point that their movement is in no way racist.

I even siad they are not racist if you reread it. just that racists have been outspoken at their functions, and that is what they are combating. it is a problem that they are trying to separate themselves from.Those people go to their rallies and functions, they consider this an issue and are proactively cxombating that because they do not want to be seen as having the same beliefs of those people. This means it is a problem that exists. That is all I am saying, not that the tea party movement specifically condones racism at their rallies.

I'm trying to say Racism isn't a problem with the Tea Party. They're trying to Prevent it it from becoming one, and being labeled as "Racist". I think that's what you just posted so..

pretty much lol i was just saying that it was a large enough problem to be concerning, not necessarily a rampant one within the movement itself. While i do have my own problems with the tea party movement that are actually political, i feel that this whole calling everyone a racist thing just as much nonsense as calling every politician one doesnt agree with the next coming of hitler hopefully its just a fad

[QUOTE="bbkkristian"] He was talking about his Rally. 8)

bbkkristian

I'm not talking about the rally specificaly, I'm talking about the man himself. He's a con-man, nothing more. He's selling himself as a political commentator, yet he admits that he doesn't care about politics. He's selling his audience one line of crap after the other and they keep lapping it up.

His 3 Priorities: 1. Faith (God) 2. Honor (Our Forefathers) 3. "Charity" (I put quotations around it because we are debating it.)

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"][QUOTE="longhorn7"][QUOTE="Snipes_2"] It doesn't mean it's a known problem. It's a preventative measure for a problem that can arise. "^use logic"

so youre saying that they are proactively combating at their rallies, something that does not exist at their rallies(even though it has been well documented that racists have latched onto the movement, even though the movement itself is not racist)? that is logic to you?

[QUOTE="Maniacc1"][QUOTE="bbkkristian"] Not with its history, its not a symbol of peace, its more like a REMINDER OF THOSE WHO DIED INNOCENTLY During the Holocaust. Seriously bad analogy. bbkkristian

I dunno, I thought it was a pretty good analogy. Mostly because recent historical evidence and documentation proves Abraham Lincoln is not the ultimate symbol for black liberation. His motivation was hardly to end racial prejudice; if it weren't for radical Republicans in Congress, nothing would have been accomplished during Reconstruction.

I didn't get the analogy till after I posted. He thinks Glenn is racist when he's clearly not with the clues and facts that I have presented. Lincoln as insignia. MLK date of speech. He does have African Americans on his show (if he would actually see it):roll:

Your logic with him using certain symbols as the ultimate proof is flawed. it was already pointed out. in no way am i saying the two parties are alike in any way, but if the kkk had a rally at MLK's memorial site and handed out fliers with his photograph on them to announce the rally does not mean at all that they are holding the rally at his memorial using his picture to show how much they love black people.these things are often used with ulterior motives. in the case that i mentioned it would be most likely to further offend people, and in the case of glenn beck, who is a television personality, most likely a public relations move which has nothing to do with what he personally does or does not believe.
