Christians being led with a ring in their nose to D.C. Beck rant , by non-Christian organizers.
Who are these non-Christians? The Koch brothers, Rupert Murdoch, Roger Ailes, Bill Kristol, and the saudi terrorist prince. These are just a few of the non christian Pied pipers leading our christian country into war and social decline.
From now on I am asking myself what religion is this talking head?. What religion is funding this groups political adds?. I suggest all Christians start doing the same.

2. That Saudi prince would likely be a street beggar without the American owned Vinnell Corporation

Those are the thugs who keep the Saudi citizens beaten down and the Saudi ruling family in power for perpetuity.

Vinnell Corporation
From SourceWatch

Vinnell Corporation, a Northrop Grumman Company, founded in 1931, performs services for governments, international agencies, US military and private clients, including Oman, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. On May 12, 2003, it was targeted for attack by terrorists in Saudi Arabia.

Vinnell's corporate headquarters, in Fairfax, Virginia, provides the operational base for marketing and for financial, personnel, data, and project management. Logistics, procurement and transportation support for Vinnell's overseas operations is provided by Logistics and Transportation Services, Inc. (LTSI), a Vinnell subsidiary in Baltimore, Maryland. snip

At various times both the American press and lawmakers have criticized Vinnell's operations in Saudi Arabia as an effort to protect the country's autocratic rulers from the democratic aspirations of their own people. The National Guard has a chain of command independent of the Saudi Defense ministry. The 75,000 strong force can operate as a mobile complement to the tank-heavy divisions of the Saudi army in wartime, but its primary mission is protecting the ruling Saudi royal family from peacetime internal political unrest. To suit this purpose the Guard still recruits primarily from the tribal desert interior of Saudi Arabia. In this sense the Guard is a direct descendant of the Bedouin warriors who helped the Saud clan take control of their country early in the twentieth century.

Over the past 22 years Vinnell employees have become an integral part of the Guard. One U.S. military officer who monitors Vinnell's Guard activities said in a recent interview that "It's a big mission. We have responsibilities and tasks in every functional area there is to run an organization . . . everything from management training to logistics to medical." But he made it clear that Americans do not "run" the Guard. Despite such statements, some suspect that Vinnell agents have at times gone beyond mere training and consulting. In 1979, for example, Saudi rebels took over the Grand Mosque at Mecca and demanded that the royal family relinquish power. As the Saudi National Guard prepared to storm the mosque, U.S. military personnel and Vinnell employees helped plan the attack. Finally, when the initial attack failed, there were unconfirmed reports that Vinnell "trainers" were brought in to provide "tactical support" for the final successful assault.
