Christians Rip Glenn Beck Over 'Social Justice' Slam

[FL Patriot]

Glenn Beck has stirred the pot again, but President Obama can rest easy for a few days because he was not the central target this time.

Backers of the concept of Christian "social justice," however, were not so lucky. Beck compared it to communism and Nazism -- and at least one religious leader is calling for Christians to stop watching the conservative broadcaster, radio host and best-selling author.

On his radio and television shows, Beck suggested any church promoting "social justice" or "economic justice" merely was using code words for Nazism and communism.

"I beg you look for the words social justice or economic justice on your church Web site," he said. "If you find it, run as fast as you can. Social justice and economic justice, they are code words. ... Am I advising people to leave their church? Yes! If they're going to Jeremiah Wright's church, yes!

"If you have a priest that is pushing social justice, go find another parish," he said. "Go alert your bishop and tell them, 'Excuse me, are you down with this whole social justice thing?' If it's my church, I'm alerting the church authorities: 'Excuse me, what's this social justice thing?' And if they say, 'Yeah, we're all in on this social justice thing,' I am in the wrong place."

Later, Beck held up a picture of a swastika and one of a hammer and sickle, declaring again that "social justice" has the same philosophy as the Nazis and communists and that the phrase is a code word for both.

Stu Burguiere, executive producer at "The Glenn Beck Radio Program," sought to clarify Beck's comments today.

"Like most Americans, Glenn strongly supports and believes in 'social justice' when it is defined as 'good Christian charity,'" he said. "Glenn strongly opposes when Rev. Wright and other leaders use 'social justice' as a euphemism for their real intention -- redistribution of wealth."

Neo-cons have just about hit rock bottom...it looks like a good time to start up a wave of White Nationalist incursions back into the political scene.

Social Justice. It is an interesting term. What it REALLY means when used by those in American academia today is get Whitey's money or find ways to break down our society with ridiculous laws treating homosexuality as mainstream, making English a second (or third or fourth) language in America or letting a Black mass murderer off because the arresting cop used a slur in the seventh grade.

I am personally are for giving legitimate opportunites to those with less money and not having a society run by robber barons. It's a trade off between personal rights and societal rights.

So Glen Beck does have a point in the sense that what social justice to the Obamites is not legitimate social justice. But then neither is what he preaches, either.
