I like Beck. His show is incredibly entertaining AND informative. I think he is basically a good guy, who is helping to educate people on our history and what is going on this country. He is waking up the masses who have been asleep at the "Wheel of Fortune" for too long. In this sense he is serving his country. Is he making a lot of money while doing so? Absolutely. And what is wrong with that? This is America - its what we do! God Bless America!

I agree it's loaded, for myself I as with any of these guys I make up my own mind, I've seen Beck and thought he was ok but then seen him as a little out there also. I couldn't vote because none of the answers fit for me.

Glenn Beck is wanting to be the Joseph Smith (LDS) of his day, without all the wives
He his not original, and he is an opportunist.
The apple doesn't fall far from the original Mormon Tree
Beck is a Fraud. He should have a disclaimer
that this is Mormon Doctrine - not something he's brainstormed himself.

Beck says “Divine Destiny.”

“The United States of America is the greatest nation in history. It is truly a nation of divine destiny! …A few short years after this great preparatory work had been accomplished by the Founding Fathers of the United States, Joseph Smith Jr. was born, and the stage was set for the gospel to be restored for the blessing of all mankind.” Scott Bradley, Mormon historian

Beck says “Constitution hanging by a thread”

"Joseph Smith, the prophet, was inspired to affirm and ratify this truth, and he further predicted that the time would come, when the Constitution of our country would hang as it were by a thread, and that the Latter-day Saints, above all other people in the world, would come to the rescue of that great and glorious palladium of our liberty" Joseph F. Smith (nephew of founder Joseph Smith)

Note to all: If you don't like Beck then don't watch him. It's a simple solution to a simple problem.

Sorry to say, you make me see his point.

By the way, Greece and France are two different countries, just to let you know.
