Read my comment again. I characterized myself and other conservatives of that era as accustomed to a style established by Buckley and National Review. Limbaugh clashed with that style, but Buckley and NR warmly embraced Limbaugh -- which eased his acceptance by the white wine sippers among NR readers.

My larger point is that Beck has a following that adds to conservative strength. Taking a clue from Buckley, we ought not to be too critical of Beck on stylistic grounds.

I read your posts, you must be a kid or something if you think that the 1990s was long ago, many of us had been watching firing line and reading National Review for decades by then.

We Buckley fans and National Review readers and firing line watchers liked Rush Limbaugh and Fox news from the beginning, You sound out of touch with the majority of conservatives of the time.

Beck is an idiot and a hustler, and you are still out of touch.

There is nothing conservative about supporting homosexual marriages and laying down our arms. That isn’t style, that is liberalism, that is Glenn Beck.
