Why America may be one of the craziest nation ever and good competition for Rome in the future. Madness is more prominent when your are Nation Number One - Read this in the Huffington Post : Mormon Prophecy Behind Glenn Beck's Message : By Dana Milbank

.
There may be crazy cults in India, Brazil or Africa, but those nations are not so important or powerful as the USA.

Glenn is a member of the "Latter Day Saints" Mormons, a cult that has generated a lot of Racism, Polygamy and Violence throughout its History

Is America a Crazy Nation ??? -- Sometimes, I do believe that : a nation that has generated such a cult of Racism and Polygamy like the Mormons, with such Fairy Tales and Ridiculous anti-Scientific Legends - And why millions of Americans follow such cretin or hypocrite as Glenn Beck ??

Because Glenn Beck has to be a ( family ) dysfunctional idiot and cretin or the Greatest Hypocrite that the World has seen, surpassing John McCain, Meg Whitman and Lou Dobbs.

And why Britain, Canada, New Zealand and Australia have not generated such Religious Madness and Cretins of the size of Glenn Beck ??

This is a mystery to which I can not find an explanation.

Arthur Connan Doyle, the author of "Sherlock Holmes" felt great repugnance and revulsion towards mormons. "A Study in Scarlet" is a detective mystery novel written by this Scottish author, which was first published in 1887. It is the first story to feature the character of Sherlock Holmes and it featured the Mormons as Bad Guys.

Mormons are the topmost in "Machism" and "Male Chauvinism" ..... I read "A Study in Scarlet" being an adolescent and it marked me for life with a revulsion against cults and bastards that say that they are prophets of God or representatives of God.

Mormon Prophecy Behind Glenn Beck's Message


Some excerpts :

In one of his first appearances on Fox News, Glenn Beck sent a coded message to the nation's six million Mormons -- or at least those Mormons who believe in what the Latter-day Saints call "the White Horse Prophecy."

"We are at the place where the Constitution hangs in the balance," Beck told Bill O'Reilly on November 14, 2008, just after President Obama's election. "I feel the Constitution is hanging in the balance right now, hanging by a thread unless the good Americans wake up."

The Constitution is hanging by a thread.

Most Americans would have heard this as just another bit of overblown commentary and thought nothing more of it. But to those familiar with the White Horse Prophecy, it was an unmistakable signal.

The phrase is often attributed to the Prophet Joseph Smith, founder of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormon Church. Smith is believed to have said in 1840 that when the Constitution hangs by a thread, elders of the Mormon Church will step in -- on the proverbial white horse -- to save the country.

"When the Constitution of the United States hangs, as it were, upon a single thread, they will have to call for the 'Mormon' Elders to save it from utter destruction; and they will step forth and do it," Brigham Young, Smith's successor as head of the church, wrote in 1855.

Was it just a coincidence in wording, or was Beck, a 1999 Mormon convert, speaking in coded language about the need to fulfill the Mormon prophecy? A conversation on Beck's radio show ten days earlier would seem to rule out coincidence. Beck was interviewing Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, also a Mormon, when he said: "I heard Barack Obama talk about the Constitution and I thought, we are at the point or we are very near the point where our Constitution is hanging by a thread."

"Well, let me tell you something," Hatch responded. "I believe the Constitution is hanging by a thread."

Days after Beck's Fox show started in January 2009, he had Hatch on, and again prompted him: "I believe our Constitution hangs by a thread."

.....................

Before the Mormons went west, Smith traveled to Washington seeking help for his oppressed followers and received nothing but frustration. Rather than turning on the government, however, "They considered themselves the last Real Americans, the legitimate heirs of the pilgrims and Founding Fathers," Pat Bagley wrote in the Salt Lake Tribune. "And, they believed, the very survival of the Constitution depended on the Saints. From Smith on, LDS leaders prophesied the Constitution would one day hang by a thread, only to be saved by Mormons."

A compilation of church leaders' statements over the years by the journal BYU Studies shows this strain of thinking. Though there are doubts about whether Smith actually wrote the phrase "hang by a thread," his successors left no doubt about the theology behind it. Orson Hyde, a Smith contemporary, wrote that Smith believed that "the time would come when the Constitution and the country would be in danger of an overthrow; and said [Smith]: 'If the Constitution be saved at all, it will be by the elders of this Church.'"

The church's fifth presiding bishop, Charles Nibley, believed that "the day would come when there would be so much of disorder, of secret combinations taking the law into their own hands, tramping upon Constitutional rights and the liberties of the people, that the Constitution would hang as by a thread. Yes, but it will still hang, and there will be enough of good people, many who may not belong to our Church at all, people who have respect for law and for order, and for Constitutional rights, who will rally around with us and save the Constitution."

The prophecy was renewed with each generation of church leadership. "The prophet Joseph Smith said the time will come when, through secret organizations taking the law into their own hands . . . the Constitution of the United States would be so torn and rent asunder, and life and property and peace and security would be held of so little value, that the Constitution would, as it were, hang by a thread," church apostle Melvin Ballard said in 1928. "This Constitution will be preserved, but it will be preserved very largely in consequence of what the Lord has revealed and what this people, through listening to the Lord and being obedient, will help to bring about, to stabilize and give permanency and effect to the Constitution itself. That also is our mission."
