That doesn’t mean giving them a pass when they say things the vast majority of us consider to be incorrect, false, and in many cases, ridiculous.

We can still support Glen on the things we agree with him on.

There is no one man or woman we have to shut up about, conservatives don’t put their faith behind any mortal man or women. Our philosophy doesn’t hinge around Beck or Limbaugh or Levin or Hannity. If it did it would be the shallowest movement around. It’s in ideas, not people.

Look what happened to the knobs who put their faith in men. We’re paying for it now. Obama. Clinton. Carter.

We recognize people on both side have warts. Some have wacky ideas. If you don’t believe them, be on record about it and don’t cower from your conscience.

It doesn’t mean he’s not right on most other things. But we need to separate ourselves from the wrong stuff. If Beck isn’t strong enough to take conservatives (ie friends) saying “He’s wrong on Mormonism” then he’s not strong enough to take criticism from his enemies. And he’s also not worth much to our side if we have to have areas where we have to shut up about and not discuss or be silent and just go along with him when he starts saying junk we don’t believe. That’s not a guy I want to represent me. He speaks his mind, I will speak my mind.

What a well-reasoned and well-spoken post. Thank you.
