Who in heck ever said Beck was like Reagan?
I’m seeing a pattern with these posts.
levin is just jealous of beck’s success.
Glenn Beck is a celebrity. He’s not a serious thinker. A nice chap, but no intellectual.
Long as everyone knows that, we’re fine. And I think he’d be the first guy to admit it.
Beck gave a heckuva speech at CPAC and days later the caterwauling hasn’t stopped.
Beck’s rather simple message: conservatives, you need to take back your party. Its the same thing you hear here on FR 365 days a year.
Levin’s got his role to play, and so does Beck. Sarah’s got her role to play and so does Hannity. If we’re in the process of turning around a rout, we’ve got a lot of people to thank, and if we aren’t going to bankrupt this country, we’ve got to be very clear about our principles. Electing more Dem-lite politicians will only break this country five minutes slower than electing Obamists who give us the full dose. We need to insist that supposed conservatives act like it. And the “bipartisan” Repub hacks need to be retired from office once and for all.
One would have to be brain dead not to know that both parties are to blame for excessive spending, but only one of the two parties plans on stopping.
That’s a straw man title if ever there was. NO ONE would remotely compare Beck with Reagan. Or any radio yakker with him for that matter.
Levin should stop this pissing contest because at the end of the day, he won't win it. I've seen several articles now from him slamming Beck and not one peep from Beck about Levin...at least that I know of. It sincerely does smack of jealousy now.
Beck cited the very reasons I didn’t vote GOP in 2006. The Hasterts and Delays of that era screwed all of us. President Bush’s lack of fiscal restraint also led to the debacle of 06.
If you refuse to fire those that are spending us into bankruptcy due to party allegiance...I don’t understand you.
My hubby and I both went to Rand Paul for eye exams ONE TIME. I also took my newborn (2.5 pounds, 3 mos. premature) to him for an eye check as advised by Vanderbilt UMC. He was extremely rude to all of us, and not gentle with my son. We have since found an equally qualified doc who actually treats people well. Have been with her for 4 years now.
No votes for him.
This is what a Congressional Declaration of War sounds like:
The advantage of securing a Congressional Declaration of War, is that if a liberal votes for a Declaration of War as per the Constitution, he can't very well go back after the fact and wail, "IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!" Hey, buddy -- you said "WAR" and you voted for it, capische?
The whole idea is to get Congress to make an up-or-down commitment on War, and not allow a bunchy of weaselly wiggle-room. Rand Paul (who, as a simple matter of fact, is more hawkish on Afghanistan and on military tribunals for Terror suspects than is dear old dad Ron Paul) is not advocating an outlandish position here, IMHO.
I didn’t have to read any further than the contrary to fact “carpetbomb” statement to know Levin is making it up so he can find a problem to have.
It’s not like Reagan’s most famous quote regarding liberals was a generalization or anything....
I am sure you know more than me when it comes to Beck through your contacts with Mark but I too have been concerned about his convoluted message for a very long time.
Both parties are the same comments are nonsense and like Mark says destructive to this Conservative ascendency.
Going on tour with Oreilly who is in the tank for this administration and using his show to help rebrand him to conservatives as a good and funny guy?
I have listened to Beck respond to this criticism and back off some of this both parties rant in the last couple days.
In your opinion do you think he can change and be trusted ?
Or will he continue to disrupt our attempt to elect as many of Conservatives within the party come this November?
Thanks
Beck put on a good show!
“Ronald Reagan would never have loosely generalized about conservatives and the Republican Party because like a surgeon, like a real thinker, and like an activist”
More importantly, he was a politician, who wanted to use the party to get elected.
Oh, and he had no problem loosely generalizing about A LOT of other things. That was his appeal: the Plain-Talkin’ Guy.
“he wanted the distinctions to be clear, he wanted to promote our principles, and he wanted to contrast them with those who either had no principles or were promoting something else”
What if we lived in a world where there wasn’t a clear distinction between the major parties? Or at least not to people who had principles other than growing the government slower than the other guy and policing the world. Hard to promote your principles via a mechanism controlled by people with whom you disagree.
What Levin ought to be doing here is telling us how Republicans are still—or still could be—Reagan Republicans. Instead, it’s all about Beck’s manners and unity and blah, blah, blah. Which is all well and good if Levin’s right. But I don’t have much reason to think he is. And certainly, he doesn’t explain why he thinks Republicans have any principles.
My guess is we’ll end up with nothing better than another Nixon or Bush, which is not good enough. Unless this Bush can do what the other Bush couldn’t. Namely, “privatize” entitlement programs. But Bush didn’t, so why should we expect another Bush to?
I suppose I could just go with the flow on FR if I just fell in line and attacked Beck since he is a raving nut... no I mean I hate Levin.. he is a danger to America .... or is it Hannity I'm thinking of? Ya... he doesn't do near as much good as the REEEEEEAL conservatives like the ones here on FR.... or it is the craaaazy Rush Limbaugh that is the worst? Ya thats it! None of these people do anything worth while in educating people about the principles of Liberty! Or is it only one of them is right and the rest are nut-jobs?
Im not sure.... I cant keep up with all the whiney perfect REEEEAAAL conservatives here on who to despise in the conservative talk radio community.
