The Argument Against Idiots: Right-Wing Religious Nuts

September 15, 2008
 Radio Clips

The Glenn Beck Program

How to win the argument de jour with logic and facts



 


The issue:

'Right-Wing Religious Nuts'

What the liberal whiners say:

'Like Charlie Gibson pointed out, Sarah Palin is a nutjob that believes we are sending U.S. soldiers to Iraq on a "task from God"...we don't need ANOTHER religious zealot just one heartbeat from the presidency, who thinks this is a Middle Ages Crusade!'

'We don't know ANYTHING about this wackjob! Like Matt Damon, I want to know if she believes dinosaurs roamed the earth 4000 years ago, she'll have the NUCLEAR CODES!'

'It's just more of the same from the religious nutbag kooks! Babbling about God and the Bible all the time...that has NO PLACE in our government...what about separation of church and state!'

Your winning, logical, reasoned arguments

1. Sarah Palin explained all that. She doesn't believe this is a holy war....This is what Charlie Gibson said, our national leaders are sending U.S. leaders on a task that's from God. Are we fighting a holy war? She said, 'you know, I don't know if that's my exact quote. Gibson said, 'exact words'. Well, unfortunately not the exact words. Her exact words actually were, "Pray that our leaders are sending our soldiers out on a task that is from God." Pray that that is the case, that we're not just higgledy piggledy sending them out for oil or whatever. Pray for that. And then he even took her completely not only out of context but then he changed what she said. Gibson said, 'there is a plan and it is God's plan'. That's not what she said. Palin said, "Pray that there is a plan and that it is God's plan." He had to change the words to be able to give her that exact quote.

2. No one believes dinosaurs roamed the earth just 4000 years ago. Maybe you and Matt Damon should check your Biblical timelines. But if she does believe in Creationism, as 100's of millions of Americans do...what does that have to do with access nuclear codes? Are you saying that all people of faith should be disqualified from office?

3. FIrst of all, there is NOTHING in the Constitution about separating church and state, look it up. Second, if you're so concerned about candidates not talking about the Bible, why aren't you disturbed by Barack Obama, who brings it up a LOT? On June 28, he said: "Which passages of Scripture should guide our public policy? Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is ok and that eating shellfish is abomination? How about Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith? Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount - a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application? Let's read our bibles. Folks haven't been reading their bibles." Isn't that troubling to you?

Glenn Beck: Cyberattack on US pipeline points to 'Axis powers' of a 'digital World War III'

The largest American gas pipeline shut down on Friday due to what experts told the media was the "most dramatic cyberattack on U.S. soil to date." Investigators are looking at a group believed to be based in Russia known as "DarkSide."

It's time our leaders in the White House take national security seriously because this isn't the first time enemies of the U.S. — namely Russia and China — have used the cyber world to attack our nation and weaken our infrastructure, Glenn Beck argued on the radio program. Between Russia, China, and Iran — which President Joe Biden is now trying to make another nuclear deal with — it looks like the "Axis powers" of a "digital World War III" are lining up

"The journalists seem to care about the price of gasoline for the first time. Is it because they actually care? Or is it because they're trying not to focus on the fact that this was an attack most likely from Russia? And it isn't the first cyberattack from Russia of the year ... maybe we should be paying attention, to Vladimir Putin," Glenn began.

"And by the way, the pipeline going down, that's not the only [cyberattack] happening now," he added later. "Thirty thousand U.S. victims, small businesses and local governments, were hacked by cyber espionage units backed by the Chinese government in January of this year."

"There is an 'Axis power.' It is Russia and China. And, by the way, who is also aligned with Russia and China? Iran. Wow, this is weird," Glenn surmised. "But don't worry about that. Just leave your dog tags on another table. Let's not talk about China. Let's not talk about who actually crashed the jugular of our oil pipelines. I don't want war. But I got news for you ... this Biden administration is doing the job for our enemies."

'It's a death by a thousand cuts': Jordan Peterson on why staying silent is WORSE than facing the woke mob

Image source: Video screenshot

Canadian clinical psychologist, author, and cultural firebrand Jordan Peterson is no stranger to cancel culture. Ever since he was thrust into the culture war, he has faced one controversy after another, stirred up by the woke elites who hate him with a passion. But although they have tried to make him pay for speaking out so fearlessly against their message, he refuses to back down and he believes you should, too. He joined "The Glenn Beck Podcast" this week to explain why.

"There is a growth of the reluctant hero in all stories ... so many people think that they don't have what it takes, that they're not the hero," Glenn said to Peterson. "How do you get people to recognize and then have the courage to stand? You've taken a beating ... why is it worth it and how do you get there?"

"I think it's worth it because I believe the alternative is worse ... to stay silent when you have something to say," Peterson replied. "You don't know what it is within you that requires your voice, right, because you feel like 'I have something to say.' Where does that come from exactly, that feeling that you have something to say?

"Maybe you're disgruntled at work and you're choking on your own bile because the situation is not just in your estimation," he continued. "You're dying to say something, but you won't. Well, you'll die if you don't say it. Maybe it's a death by a thousand cuts. I don't like deferred punishment. I'd rather take it now and keep the future clean, which is why I encourage people to have the fights now, not to hide things in the fog for later. They grow and metastasize. It's better to confront what you need to confront when it's small and you have some possibility of victory."

Bank of America warns of HYPERINFLATION 'at the very LEAST'

Top officials at the Federal Reserve are doing what they can to sugar coat what's ahead for our economy, telling Americans we may hit a "transitory" period of inflation that will settle by 2022. But Bank of America is saying something different. The bank's latest earnings call commentary warned "at the very least" transitory hyperinflation is ahead.

Watch the video clip below to hear Glenn Beck explain what this means for prices and for our economy.

WATCH: Race-Baiters Be Damned: 3 Big Lies About Racism DEBUNKED

Straight from the Marxist con of critical race theory are three big lies about "systemic racism" in America that are debilitating to our nation: the lie that policing in the U.S. is thoroughly racist, the lie of voter suppression, and the lie of equity as the solution to solve "racism." Despite the evidence disproving these lies, they grow stronger, thanks to Democrats and activists with selfish interest in these narratives, who, along with their media partners, spread the sinister message that everything in America is racist by default and only massive government intervention can save us from ourselves. President Biden, Vice President Harris, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi – every Democrat on the national stage sees racism in literally everything at this point.

In this precarious time for America, Glenn Beck and North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson join together with data and the truth to fight back against the race-baiters ripping us apart.
