Fodder for Glenn Beck's War on the Number 5


Never mind that Obama didn't actually use the word "pillar." He mentioned five things and according to Glenn Beck that means he's a Muslim! So here you go Glenn, good luck with your War on Five. Believe it or not Five (and therefore Islam) is everywhere!

Five branches of philosophy: metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, aesthetics

The Five Books of Moses

The Five Wounds of Jesus

The Committee of Five delegated to draft the Declaration of Independence

The Fifth Element (1997)

Babylon 5

The Final Five and the Temple of Five (Battlestar Galactica)

The Five Rings of the Olympic symbol

Five players on a basketball team

Five cards in a hand of poker

In radio, "Five by Five" means perfect signal strength and clarity

Five senses: sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste

Five basic tastes: sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami

Five permanent members with veto power on the UN Security Council

22. From Beck himself: The 5 Pledges (2010 candidates must make to be Beck-approved)
Edited on Wed Jan-26-11 11:16 PM by Skip Intro

Not sure about Beck's war on 5, don't really pay much attention to that guy, but googled beck and 5 out of curiosity after reading this thread, and found this:

http://www.glennbeck.com/content/articles/article/198/29864/



On edit, in Pledge one, he actually demands a freeze on federal spending similar to Obama's goal from the SOTU...
