to watch MSNBC, or CNN, or whatever. They’ll be there for you.

I like Beck. So do apparently several million others. I also think he’s right on the money about 95% of the time. So apparently does Hannity, who does at least one story a day that Beck initiated…only, of course, several days after Beck got the ball rolling.

O’Keefe brought him the ACORN videos simply because Beck had been pushing the need to investigate ACORN long before anybody else did (he did at least four shows on ACORN before O’Reilly got involved with it, for example, and that was only after Beck came on O’Reilly’s show and started talking about what he was doing (which led to the O’Reilly’s weekly “At Your Beck and Call” segment.)

And , by the way, Rush takes Beck very seriously too, as indicated by having come on his show and by the fact that he has made several very laudatory references to him on his own show and during interviews on others’ shows.

So please don’t include ‘me’ in the ‘we’ you claim is conservative. You’re the kind of conservative that has given us complete Democratic Legislative and Executive branches, and is working on turning SCOTUS liberal as well. Your kind of conservative is happy to let groups like ACORN keep on truckin’, never would have exposed Van Jones, never would have made the links between Jeff Jones and the Apollo project, never would have pointed out the facts behind Obama’s radical associations (that Hannity always said should be looked-at but that he never went any deeper on than William Ayers and Reverend Wright).

You are free certainly to have your opinion, but since you chose to publicly express it, I’ll express mine.

As far as I’m concerned, Beck’s in, you’re out.

.

Perhaps you should watch him for more than 3 minutes. I have been a Beck fan for years. I guess I’m just ‘crazy’!
The man has balls, and is exposing the progressives for what they are, and what they are attempting, in their own words…… We need more like him!!

Bon voyage. I don’t how we lived without you for a couple of years, but we’ll try to man up and get along on our own again.

It’s just a rule change is all. We’re not going to be nice as we get b*slapped repeatedly by the left. Their own rules are being used against them, and we’ll be relentless.
Beck isn’t anybody’s leader here, but he is a focal point, an attention getter, and a mobilizer.
You had to have noticed the Teaparty crowds?
They are growing exponentially and will continue to do so as more and more people find out what’s going on and get their dander up.
And, unlike a lot of the astroturfed left, the Teaparty folks are legal to vote.

At least not in my view. Buckley just did it with stinging wit. He wasn’t into comity, heck he told Chomsky that he would punch him in the face.

He’s doing a job that few really want to do simply because of the level of inaccuracy (wouldn’t want the fellas at the faculty club to think that you could err, after all), and crucifying one of our own after he has “hit the big one” just discourages us as a political movement from innovating, for fear that our own comrades will disown us.

then why would he have disagreements with Libertarians? He’s never stated that he’s Libertarian on TV or radio, so I don’t know where your coming from on this?

Not I sir. I’m not a troll either, just trying to promote some discussion. But I do suppose I could be branded with the “elitist” label since I have degrees in polisci and English Literature. Let me tell you, that was hilarious fun; being the only conservative male in the entire school getting an English Lit degree. And I rubbed it in their faces every chance I got.. and graduated with honors to boot!

I’m more libertarian than Beck, at least I think I am. I’m more authoritarian than say, Penn & Teller, but way more permissive than Hannity for instance. I’m opposed to gay marriage but also opposed to a federal law against it. A constitutional amendment? Sure, not that it will pass. But marriage laws are state matters. I’ll vote against gay marriage (and did last year when FL put it up) but I don’t care if other states pass it since what civil laws declare valid is immaterial in the eyes of God.

I push for a federal ban on abortion, however, because of the equal protection clause. Unborn children are just as human as the rest of us and since the Constitution has declared all are equal under the law regardless of what the states say, then that protection should be given to the unborn.

Maybe it’s because I hate extreme invectives and arguments that aren’t well-reasoned and balanced. Maybe it’s because when I saw Lefties protesting in the streets against the war with their hatred of Bush and America it made me want to throw up. Maybe it’s because I really, REALLY hate 9/11 truthers. I don’t know. But they all seem to follow the same playbook of blatantly ignoring facts (see also: birthers), protesting in the streets to get attention while spewing those same untruths, and going for the throat every time they got three seconds of airtime.

I think there’s plenty of room to play hardball, to refuse to back down to those who would see this nation turned into a pathetic and dying welfare state and to proclaim the goodness of America without resorting to lines and actions that make our side seem ignorant, rude and just plain mean.

I’ll close with an example. Standing up in townhall meetings and telling off your congressman? Good. They need to be held accountable. Yelling “you lie” in the midst of a joint session of Congress no matter what the POTUS says? Bad form. Telling it like it is that co-ops are the public option lite and what the public option REALLY is all about is not competition but a government takeover? Good. Because that’s the reality. Saying that a televised address to students amounts to indoctrination? Bad, because that’s absurd.

Sorry to ruffle the feathers of all those that love the hero du jour. I just don’t see it.
