Turn Back to God

Bible:
“My brothers, as believers in our
glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don’t show favoritism. Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, 'Here’s a good seat for you,' but say to the poor man, ‘You stand there’ or ‘Sit on the floor by my feet,’ have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are
poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him? But you have insulted the poor. Is it not the rich who are exploiting you? Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? Are they not the ones who are slandering the noble name of him to whom you belong?

If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself,’ you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.” —James 2:1-9 (NIV)

Glenn Beck:
GLENN: Your church is there and that's why I said I don't care what church you go to. I don't care. As long as that church is telling you and helping you be a better person, be more honorable, be more honest, be more giving. But once that church starts to preach social and economic justice, especially through the structure of a giant government, well, now that's something totally different. Now, now you are talking about a church that is getting involved in government itself. We don't do that. We don't do that.

The unspoken truth is that this bill is simply a first step towards universal healthcare. It starts with the poor children, then moves to middle-class children, then to the elderly, and then, before you know it—poof!—everyone is covered. And guess who gets the privilege of paying for all that? You do! So remember, despite what the SCHIP cheerleaders say, you don’t have to choose between helping poor children or being an “evil” conservative—you can actually do both.

“Abolish Medicare”

And this:

Has anybody seen John Edwards speak? That guy gave that same damn speech last week. He gave another speech last night from New Hampshire. It was the same speech: "Let me tell you about little Johnny Muckenfutch. Little Johnny Muckenfutch who doesn't have a face. If it wasn't for this healthcare system, Johnny Muckenfutch would have a face, but it's just Sally Muckenfutch, oh, boy. She was without legs or arms. She had only a finger for an eye, and I brought it up. I started talking about Sally Muckenfutch with the little 8-year-old girl with a finger for an eye and those insurance companies, they wouldn't do anything. Oh, they didn't care that Sally Muckenfutch would have to pick her nose but she couldn't because she couldn't reach down the nostril because her little eye finger wouldn't go all that way because she didn't have a hand. She just had a finger for an eye. I mean, shut up, John Edwards.”

He also made fun of people who’d lost everything they owned and had been starving for days after Hurricane Katrina and said he “hates” 9/11 victims. Maybe that was before he found Jesus.
