In the following video clip (from Huffington Post) Glenn Beck takes a look at some artwork around Rockefeller Cneter.
In the first piece of artwork, there is art of a hammer and sickle and some wheat.
DXang those communist farmers.
But wait, there's an LDS scripture that comes to mind:
1 Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men.
2 Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.
3 Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work;
4 For behold the field is white already to harvest; and lo, he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
And an even better one, from the Book of Mormon:
Behold, the field was ripe, and blessed are ye, for ye did thrust in the sickle, and did reap with your might, yea, all the day long did ye labor; and behold the number of your sheaves! And they shall be gathered into the garners, that they are not wasted.
Dang Communists!
Oh, and then the second piece of artwork Brother Beck looks at has a strong leader leading Industry (in the form of a horse) to a bright future for the youth.
In Mormonism, we had a strong leader (Brigham Young) who lead an industrious people to a bright future where they focused on their youth.
The third piece of art proves that beating your swords into plowshares as stated in Isaiah (and second Nephi) is Communist also.
But where are the people beating their swords into plowshares? Why in XZion, established in the tops of the mountains......
But in the 4th piece of art, we learn that police beating people and armies wearing gas masks are communist also. JM Bell will be glad to know who got him in Denver last year.
And, well, if we are going to look at symbolic artwork converting the thousands that walk by it every day, let's look at all the people converted to paganism walking past that Salt Lake Temple, shall we?

P.S. and don't get me started on the Law of Consecration....

It's nice to see the spirit of Joseph McCarthy alive and well. Seriously, this guy is a nutjob. I can forgive him the hysterical anti-socialist fearmongering. What has pissed me off about Glenn Beck the most has been the race-baiting he's done- Calling Obama a racist, saying he hates white people, the Van Jones stuff, saying healthcare reform is about reparations. That stuff is inexcusable. It's unfortunate that so many Mormons just eat up all his words. Although President Benson was a great man that taught some great things, he kind of screwed up the church politically for a couple of generations (the whole John Birch Society stuff, his anti-communist rhetoric (such as saying the civil rights movement was a communist plot), etc). Maybe those of us with different ideas need to speak up more, but it's pretty tough to be in such a minority.
Amen, brother!
And it's no secret, well, maybe to some people it is, that Benson was partially sent to the European area presidencies to remove him from the influence of the Birchers. I take everything Benson said before he was prophet with a large, heaping, trough of salt.
