Susan, please don't believe that everything that Glenn Beck says is Mormon theology. Glenn Beck speaks for Glenn Beck. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints and there is nothing in our theology indicating we should take titles of God for ourselves.
You also make a reference to the so-called "White Horse Prophecy." The White Horse Prophecy is an alleged third hand account of something written down many years after it allegedly happened. It is far closer to urban legend within a small subset of the Mormon community than it is to Mormon theology.
Mormon theology contains a belief that the founding fathers were divinely inspired (including in the writing of the Constitution). That does not mean that the founding fathers and the Constitution were perfect. The Constitution is not considered to be on par with scripture in Mormon theology.
Think whatever you like about Glenn Beck. That's your choice. That said, he is not any kind of spokesman for the church. Glenn Beck speaks for Glenn Beck.
I would probably have additional concerns, but I stopped reading after the first couple of paragraphs based on a lack of confidence about the accuracy of what would come next.
