Beck Speaks Truth on Israel

Glenn Beck has the courage to speak the truth and stand tall with Israel in a morally confused world where most cannot decipher Good from Evil.



"...A Jewish man was walking down the street in midtown Manhattan over the weekend. He passed by a group of people protesting on the street.

They were holding up signs, criticizing Israel. He was wearing a yarmulke. So they called him a “dirty Jew.”

We’ve seen this move before. We’ve seen the terror before. We’ve seen the sirens…and the bombs… and the threats.

We’ve even seen the insults. “Dirty Jew.” Nothing original there.

So I think we know what’s really going on here.

It has nothing to do with embargoes… or borders… or anything else that CAN be solved. It’s because Israel exists. And it’s a Jewish state.

Let’s be honest with ourselves. There are some people who can’t get past that.

The world’s oldest hatred. Anti-Semitism. It’s alive in our time. And it’s not hiding. It’s right there in Gaza.

More Dangerous than Barack Obama

I received this quote in an email which claims that it came from the Czech Republic . Someone over there has it figured out. It was translated into English from an article in the Prague newspaper Prager Zeitungon on 4-28-2010.

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president."
