Runnin' Down the Dream
Paul Harvey
Glenn Beck is restoring honor: that is, restoring Martin Luther King's movement back to its true conservative, white roots. Stephen Colbert explains (starting at 2:53 below -- although earlier in the segment the Vatican endorsement of the Blues Brothers as a good film for Catholics is worth watching for sure). As Colbert explains, the date (August 28 -- the anniversary of King's speech) is divinely inspired because "whenever I tell people what he's doing, they always say, 'holy sh##t!'" As Jake and Elwood would say, he's on a mission from God. Actually, this Blues Brothers dialogue is more appropriate for pretty much any Beck-related post:
Jake: You lied to me.

Interestingly, Beck's latest antics represent a departure from his two Mormon heroes, Cleon Skousen and Ezra Taft Benson, both of whom were quite outspoken in their dislike of MLK, Jr.
Also, Paul or Christopher, have either of you moved through Beck's writings? If so, I would love to hear what you think.
