Glenn Beck vs. Jesus

Glenn Beck:

Beck exhorted the crowd to "recognize your place to the creator. Realize that he is our king. He is the one who guides and directs our life and protects us." He asked his audience to pray more. "I ask, not only if you would pray on your knees, but pray on your knees but with your door open for your children to see," he said.

The Bible says:

Matthew 6:6 - But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

What's wrong with this picture?

How the Nation’s Only State-Owned Bank Became the Envy of Wall Street

via motherjones.com

Who knew the American hating socialists would have started their revolution in North Dakota.

Please read this! It's a fascinating article and is sure to give you a new found respect for ND.

The Bank of North Dakota is the only state-owned bank in America—what Republicans might call an idiosyncratic bastion of socialism. It also earned a record profit last year even as its private-sector corollaries lost billions. To be sure, it owes some of its unusual success to North Dakota’s well-insulated economy, which is heavy on agricultural staples and light on housing speculation. But that hasn’t stopped out-of-state politicos from beating a path to chilly Bismarck in search of advice. Could opening state-owned banks across America get us out of the financial crisis? It certainly might help, says Ellen Brown, author of the book, Web of Debt, who writes that the Bank of North Dakota, with its $4 billion under management, has avoided the credit freeze by “creating its own credit, leading the nation in establishing state economic sovereignty.” Mother Jones spoke with the Bank of North Dakota’s president, Eric Hardmeyer.

The 92 Republicans Who Voted Against Laws to Prevent Rape

The House passed a bill that would make it easier for tribal courts with limited sovereignty and jurisdiction to prosecute non-native rapists who rape Native American women on tribal lands. There’s a huge jurisdictional mess when it comes to crimes involving natives and non-natives due to confusion between tribal, federal, and state court authority. It basically results in non-native rapists going free because it is difficult to ascertain what kind of court they should stand for trial in. This bill helps to clear some of that up, and make it so rapists can be dragged into court much easier and made to stand for their crimes when the act is committed on tribal land by a non-member. This is something pretty much anyone can get behind right?

Nope. Not if you’re a conservative Republican apparently, as the only people who voted against this anti-rape legislation (all 92 of them) are card-carrying members of the GOP.

Apparently the GOP just can't get enough of screwing over Native Americans.

Obama announces $2 BILLION in solar power investments

Today, I’m announcing that the Department of Energy is awarding nearly $2 billion in conditional commitments to two solar companies. The first is Abengoa Solar, a company that has agreed to build one of the largest solar plants in the world right here in the United States. After years of watching companies build things and create jobs overseas, it’s good news that we’ve attracted a company to our shores to build a plant and create jobs right here in America. In the short term, construction will create approximately 1,600 jobs in Arizona. What’s more, over 70 percent of the components and products used in construction will be manufactured in the USA, boosting jobs and communities in states up and down the supply chain. Once completed, this plant will be the first large-scale solar plant in the U.S. to actually store the energy it generates for later use – even at night. And it will generate enough clean, renewable energy to power 70,000 homes.

How long does it take to wrest control of a government from the citizens and into the hands of big business? Oh, about thirty years give or take a few.
