Et Tu, Glenn Beck
The story of Glenn Beck is a classic rags to riches one. Glenn Beck is presently one of the most popular talk show hosts, best-selling authors, and the darling of the conservative movement. Rather than tackling all the research to give you a concise look at his life from his beginnings to his present place in American politics, let me quote Wikipedia.
Glenn Beck was born in 1964 in Everett, Washington. His parents, William and Mary, lived in Mountlake Terrace, Washington at the time of Beck's birth and sometime later moved their family to Mount Vernon, Washington where they owned and operated City Bakery in the downtown area. Beck was raised as a Roman Catholic and attended Mount Vernon's private Immaculate Conception Catholic school. At 13, he won a contest that landed him his first broadcast gig as a disc-jockey for his hometown radio station, KBRC.
Beck's parents were divorced in 1977 and the 13 year-old Beck moved with his mother to Sumner, Washington, attending school in Puyallup. In 1979, his mother died in a mysterious drowning in Puget Sound, just west of Tacoma, either accidentally or as a suicide. A man who had taken her out in a small boat also drowned. A Tacoma police report filed after the drowning stated that Mary Beck "appeared to be a classic drowning victim", but a Coast Guard investigator speculated that she could have either fallen or jumped overboard.
After his mother's death, Beck and his older sister moved to their father's home in Bellingham, Washington, where Beck graduated from Sehome High School in 1982. In the aftermath of his mother's death and subsequent suicide of his stepbrother, Beck has said he used "Dr. Jack Daniel's" to cope.
At 18, following high school graduation, Beck relocated to Provo, Utah and worked at radio station KAYK. Feeling he "didn't fit in", Beck left Utah after six months, taking a job at Washington D.C.'s WPGC in February 1983.
While working at WPGC, Beckmet his first wife, Claire. The couple married and had two daughters, Mary and Hannah; Mary was born in 1988 with cerebral palsy, the result of a series of strokes at birth. The couple divorced in 1994 amid Beck's struggles with substance abuse.
Along with being a recovering alcoholic and drug addict, Beck has been diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. He cites the help of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) in his sobriety and attended his first AA meeting in November 1994, the month he states he stopped drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis.
In 1996, while working for a New Haven-area radio station, Beck was admitted to Yale University through a special program for non-traditional students. One of his recommendations for admittance came from Senator Joe Lieberman. Beck took one theology class, "Early Christology," and then dropped out.
In 1999, Beck married his second wife, Tania. They joined The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in October 1999, partly at the urging of his daughter Mary. The couple have two children, Raphe and Cheyenne, and currently live in New Canaan, Connecticut. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Beck
Glenn Beck: a Polygamous god in Embyro, with attitude
If one can believe what Glenn says about his marriage, his wife and children and his newfound faith; that this is what pulled him out of his drug and alcohol addictions, he is a committed Mormon who accepts the LDS doctrine that it is the only true church in earth, with a true prophet at its helm.
Since the goal of every worthy LDS male is to hold the priesthood and earn his own godhood, polygamous goddess wives and his own planet to people and maintain, we have to believe that he accepts these precepts as from God and has tuned his spiritual life into attaining these goals.
Since the bedrock of LDS theology is that the Constitution is as sacred as scripture and that America will become an LDS theocracy, then we have to understand that behind that manic guy on TV and radio every day, behind all the books and the sloppy feel-good movie, The Christmas Sweater, there is a very serious man who believes that this nation, as we know it, is doomed.
Glenn Beck either believes that this nation a will become a Mormon theocracy or he is a liar about his family and faith. Knowing this, we need to evaluate everything that come out of his mouth with this in mind. To do so, opens the door to deception at a very large scale.
His devotees may be chickens in the hen house, quivering at the socialistic horrors about to befall the country, but they are taking instruction from a ravening wolf. Should his prophets' words come to pass, America will beg for something as simple as socialism.
