Conservative Media's Darkest Secret: They're Closet Liberals
Mark Dice on Youtube ^ | 12/23/2024 | Mark Dice

Posted on 12/25/2024 8:21:13 AM PST by ducttape45

I know folks don't like to view videos to get an explanation for the post, but listening to it will give you far more insight than my simple explanation, but suffice to say Mark Dice is really on spot here. He goes into detail about how he views many so-called conservative voices as actually being closet liberals but not willing to come out as such.

I know not everyone we listen to or read about is going to check all the boxes and that conservative hosts are never going to completely satisfy our desire for a purely Christian conservative viewpoint, but I believe there is merit in what Mark is saying.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks, and Merry Christmas to all.

I know cloning is illegal—but we need to clone a thousand Howie Carrs.

The guy is amazing.

Give them another try. There is plenty of pithy insight and analysis, especially around the Marxist origins of CRT, gender theory, and all that crap ... the goals of Marxism to tear down the West all over the globe.

One listen isn't enough. Try for a few weeks and see if you like it.

No matter how conservative someone might be, there will be a person pop up and start ranting about RINOs and traitors.

"Controlled opposition" was one of their favorite smears of Alex Jones.

20 years later and I’m still here to say, Hannity is god awful. I just don’t get it. He’s still a lightweight.

Baier, Benson, Dominich, McCallen, Perino... to name very few. Then there’s Levin, former Trump hater and neocon war goon. Also all of GHWB’s CIA embedded assets. Nearly everyone on the weekend shows are trash - that’s just getting start on Fox.

Everyone at the WSJ, almost everyone at the Washington Times.

Everyone at the National Review, including Pavlich and Davis-Hanson, who both signed-off on the “Hate Trump” issue.

I could go on, and on, but you apparently read nothing here to even ask that.

” Conservative Media’s Darkest Secret: They’re Closet Liberals”

You and I have discussed this in detail for at least 20 years. Paleocons have known it since forever.

“Conservatism, Inc.” as some have called it. Salem Media has been one of its main promoters, and of course the bastardized version of National Review.

Well, they’re not serious people. Buckley’s original crew at least had some education when education still meant something. Jonah Goldberg — not so much.

“I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism,” Reagan said in 1975.

“The basis of conservatism is a desire for less government interference or less centralized authority or more individual freedom and this is a pretty general description also of what libertarianism is.”

Ask yourself - rhetorically - why every single commentator, talking head, expert etc. on Fox always has and always will have their lips sewn directly to Israel’s ass.

Every single one without any question whatsoever.

Baier, Hume, and Goldberg haven’t been conservatives in decades — if ever.

On our station in Knoxville, Bongino replaced Rush. I’m happy with that.

“Armstrong & Getty out of Sacramento KSTE.”

One of those two is a Nikki Haley fanboy and he still makes digs at Trump.

The other is a libertatian at best.

Both think that the Ukraine war is America’s war and that we need to keep it going.

It is a coincidence.

Lol.

Getting fired from National Review in the old days was a badge of honor.

James Burnham and Sam Francis led the rebels—some of the greatest thinkers of their time.
