Glenn Beck Urges Listeners to Leave Churches That Preach Social Justice

03/8/10

On his daily radio and television shows last week, Fox News personality Glenn Beck set out to convince his audience that "social justice," the term many Christian churches use to describe their efforts to address poverty and human rights, is a "code word" for communism and Nazism. Beck urged Christians to discuss the term with their priests and to leave their churches if leaders would not reconsider their emphasis on social justice.

"I'm begging you, your right to religion and freedom to exercise religion and read all of the passages of the Bible as you want to read them and as your church wants to preach them . . . are going to come under the ropes in the next year. If it lasts that long it will be the next year. I beg you, look for the words 'social justice' or 'economic justice' on your church Web site. If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. Now, am I advising people to leave their church? Yes!"

Later, Beck held up cards, one with a hammer and sickle and other with a swastika. "Communists are on the left, and the Nazis are on the right. That's what people say. But they both subscribe to one philosophy, and they flew one banner. . . . But on each banner, read the words, here in America: 'social justice.' They talked about economic justice, rights of the workers, redistribution of wealth, and surprisingly, democracy."

This is exactly how Glenn Beck and his ilk play on peoples ignorance and prejudices. Beck would make Joseph Goebbels proud with the way he's perfected the "Big Lie" technique. That's the technique of propaganda, which is based on the principle that a lie, if audacious enough and repeated enough times, will be believed by the masses. Hannity, O'reilly, Limbaugh and others use the technique...teaching the listeners to hate and fear Liberals. Same as Goebbels whipped the the German masses to hate and fear the Jews. Same thing. They can do it here because there is about 30% of the population that is ignorant of what Liberalism or a Liberal really is. Most all Americans take something from a Liberal philosophy....but Beck, Limbaugh and the others aren't about to let their viewers consider that.

The most successful tyranny is not the one that uses force to assure uniformity, but the one that removes awareness of other possibilities, that makes it seem inconceivable that other ways are viable, that removes the sense that there is an outside. --Allan Bloom
