Glenn Beck: Ted Cruz Is Divinely Anointed And Has Been 'Raised From Birth' To Save Nation

KILL ME!!!!


Glenn Beck dedicated an entire segment of his radio program today to responding to a Breitbart article criticizing him for telling Mormons while campaigning for Ted Cruz in Utah recently that they must rise up and save this nation because evangelical Christians in the South "are not listening to their God."

Beck took issue with a comment from Baylor professor Thomas Kidd, who said that while "there are many reasons why devout Christians should hesitate to vote for Donald Trump ... God has not revealed Ted Cruz as the divinely anointed alternative."

God has, in fact, revealed Cruz to be His divinely anointed choice, Beck insisted.

"To you, Dr. Kidd. To you," Beck responded. "To you God hasn’t revealed Cruz as divinely anointed. I understand that. And I respect your opinion on it. But here’s mine: I have seen this man’s life. I have watched this man. I have prayed about this man. I have prayed about it by myself, out loud, in quiet, with my family, with my staff, and I happen to believe that Ted Cruz actually was anointed for this time. Would there not be someone that was in the pool that might have the right qualifications for God? Is He that disinterested in all of us? Or is it perhaps possible that just like in the Bible, people were raised from birth for a specific time? Are we that inconsequential, Dr. Kidd? Are we really not that important enough for Him to raise someone up, at this critical juncture?"

I hope this "scandal" is true and the real press digs hard and uncovers it all


I don't care what people do in their personal lives-until they try to come off as saintly pious and then tell the rest of the world how to live

I have always gotten a pedophile vibe from lying ted

Cant stand the rodent

Go out and keep watch for the bunnies!! Anyone who thinks Cruz is divinely anointed probably also believes in bunnies who bring chocolate eggs. Cruz closed down the government and costs us millions in the process. No one who works with him even likes him.

Thing is I'm acquainted with some evangelicals who believe this insanity.

It's all fun and games until they organize enough. Then innocent people's lives are being harmed, you know, like now. Just look at some of the insane state laws via gays/lesbians/trans and women's rights to choose.

I'm not laughing. I'm scared for my brothers and sisters out there on the front lines.

For these type of ideologues, this is just a beginning. They really do think they can create a theocratic government which suites their desires. And, if we don't stop them, it's actually possible they will. I've already seen it happen on state levels.

Although I do prefer that these religious whackos openly discuss their sickness. A more frightening thought is one getting elected to a position of power before revealing themselves.

And well...yes...I'm worried about Cruz too, BECAUSE of his daddy.

His father is certifiably FUCKING NUTS!

He thinks his son is ordained by god to lead this nation and then the world, for fucks sake. Cruz's dad has said publicly that his son is one of the "Anointed Kings"

He's a whackjob extraordinaire and if he gets within spitting distance of the White House, we are all fucked.
