With every passing day, Glenn Beck’s transformation into the self-appointed prophetic leader of a doomsday cult grows more pronounced as he uses his network to issue increasingly dire warnings about the impending and inevitable destruction of America while literally thumping his Bible.

Just take a look at yesterday’s morning meeting where Beck harangued his staff that “the system” is in a full-fledged nosedive.

“It’s in a straight pitch down,” Beck proclaimed. “That’s what our society is doing right now. Straight pitch down!”

The only solution, of course, is the Bible.

“This has all the answers,” Beck said while smacking his hand upon his Bible. “This is the only answer. Period. We are too far gone. Any other fix won’t do it … This is the only parachute. Jump out of the plane!”
