Glenn Beck: The government saying who can get married more of a threat than gays getting married
Why doesn't Glenn Beck cover gay marriage? Because he doesn't believe it's a threat to the nation.

In a conversation with Bill O'Reilly on why he avoids culture war issues, Beck admitted that he doesn't think marriage should be a political issue.

"Honestly, I think we have bigger fish to fry," Beck said. "You can argue about abortion or gay marriage or whatever all you want. The country is burning down...I don't think marriage, that the government actually has anything to do with...that is a religious right."

"Do you believe gay marriage is a threat to the country in any way?" O'Reilly asked.

"A threat to the country? No, I don't," Beck said, laughing, adding mockingly, "Will the gays come and get us?"

Beck quoted Thomas Jefferson: "If it neither breaks my leg nor picks my pocket, what difference is it to me?"

Just to remind you, Glenn Beck said this.

1. Mixing lies with truth is the hallmark of the Devil hisownself!
I'm betting the GOP backs away from many of these hot ticket issues. If they "solve the problem" they have nothing left to probe the haters with. Can't get rid of abortion! Can't get rid of immigration! Can't get rid of gay marriage! Nothing stirs the shit with their hating masses like bigotry!
