Glenn Beck To Pope Francis: I Need To Teach You About Capitalism

Conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck said Thursday that he wants to give Pope Francis a lesson in free-market economics.

Speaking on “The Glenn Beck Program” on his own network The Blaze, Beck said the pope’s experiences in Argentina left Francis skeptical of “cronyism.” As a result, the pope “has not seen ‘let-me-serve-you capitalism,'” Beck said.

Beck said he wants to rectify that.

“I’ve asked the Pope’s people if I could put together a team of people who could actually teach the Pope, and find examples, left and right, and go visit the Pope and say ‘This is what capitalism is.”

  4. Maybe the Pope can teach you a bit about Christianity, because you ain’t one.

    Wasn’t GB on his death bed a few months ago?

    Thought he might have shuffled off this mortal coil by now.

    Guess Je$u$ didn’t need him as much as GB thought.
