Ted Cruz’s star spokesman and campaign partner, Glenn Beck, promises he will support a socialist vs. the pro-life, pro-2nd amendment, pro-growth, pro-American GOP front runner… what’s conservative about that?…http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/…/wow-glenn-beck-i-prefer-…/
Beck would have chosen Hillary Clinton over the GOP nominee and evidently thinks Barack Obama is a pretty swell guy as President… what’s judicious about that?… http://theconservativetreehouse.com/…/must-watch-glenn-bec…/
Beck proclaims his hatred for the American victims of 9/11 – the innocent VICTIMS, mind you, not the evil terrorists.. what’s honorable about that?..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hf33g9ep4YU
Beck joins Cruz in inviting more illegals to break America’s laws as the two link arms to greet illegal immigrants at the border with rewarding gifts of soccer balls and teddy bears… what’s celebratory about that?…http://theconservativetreehouse.com/…/ted-cruz-visits-texa…/
Beck is known for his continuous mocking of Americans who may disagree with his puzzling antics, while crying just last night, "Why mock ME?"… what’s consistent about that?http://www.cnn.com/…/glenn-beck-god-killed-scalia-so-cruz-…/
Beck will go ballistic after reading this post and will ramp up his unjustified attacks against Donald Trump, me, my faith, and you – for acknowledging all this I’ve outlined, in his own words… what’s smart about that?
I didn’t post any Beck quotes before, so I think you may have confused me with someone else. It’s all good though.
To your question, of course I think we need a strict Constitutionalist, I just don’t think Cruz is the only person capable of nominating someone who is, and he hasn’t suggested anyone yet to back up his claims.
And as for this being a “precarious moment”, well, I’m going to have to refrain from using all the profanity I’m tempted to here, but let’s just say I’m sick to death of being told that RIGHT NOW is the MOST DIRE CRISIS EVER and I, personally, need to DO SOMETHING. We’ve had 30 years of this end-of-the-world nonsense and it’s been used as a bludgeon over and over and over again, and in almost every case, the “cause” is lost or at best breaks even somehow, and yet the world doesn’t end.
If people have a point to make, they should make their point without trying to get people hyperventilating with promises that the end is nigh if we don’t do this or that thing.
conservative movement.
What the hell is that? When did that start or even end? What fantasy land do you live in? In freeking detail explain the Conservative Movement....or decline and quit using that used up stupid ass term.
"Bernie Sanders is one of the guys in Congress that I think I would actually -- if I were president -- invite to the White House once in a while," Beck said on The Glenn Beck Radio Program.
Though Beck was quick to say he is an "anti-socialist," he insisted he would work to find common ground with Sanders, who now holds a commanding 27-point lead over Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire.
"He's at least honest -- everyone else is lying. He'll at least come out and say, 'Yep. I'm a complete socialist.' All right. So where can we meet on anything? Because I'm an antisocialist. I'm a capitalist, and I'm a constitutionalist," Beck said.
According to Beck, Sanders is resonating with voters because of his honesty because the American people are "tired of these politicians" for changing their positions. The radio host went on to take a shot at one-time Republican front-runner Jeb Bush, claiming the former Florida governor has changed over the course of his campaign.
"Several are changing their positions. Remember, it was Jeb Bush who was saying, 'You have to run to the center in this election, and just don't worry about the primary. You got to run right to the center and to the liberal side.' And now he's -- now, 'I'm the most conservative here on the stage,'" Beck said.
Glenn Beck Sets the Record Straight on Media Reports That He Supports Sanders Over Trump
The media report that he prefers Sanders over Trump was likely inspired by this quote from Beck's endorsement speech at a Cruz rally in Iowa over the weekend:
Honesty, faith and truth are basic requirements. And quite honestly, I have to tell you, this probably isn't going to go over very well, that's why I like Bernie Sanders.
-snip-
"The press is reporting that I like Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump. No. Would I vote for Bernie Sanders over Donald Trump? No, I wouldn't," Beck said on The Glenn Beck Radio Program. "[D]o I think Bernie Sanders will be better for the country than Donald Trump? No, I think they're both a disaster."
The radio show host said he would vote third party if the general election were between Sanders and Trump.
Beck did, however, say that he believes the election should be between Sanders and Cruz, because he says both senators are "honest men" -- a case he made earlier Monday morning in an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo.
"Bernie Sanders is at least honest about who he is -- and I've said this for years. I actually have respect for Bernie Sanders because he's not afraid to say, 'I'm a socialist,'" Beck said on CNN, adding that he "vehemently" disagrees with the senator's worldview.
"[Cruz and Sanders] should be the two candidates in the United States of America, and let the people decide. Are we going socialist, or back to the Constitution -- that is a fair and honest debate," he continued.
The term "Conservative" has become so bastardized that all it means now is a clever attempt to discredit anyone who does not agree with you and allows you to proclaim "I'm smarter than you and if you don't agree with me then you're not a Conservative".......Sheesh!
Agree.
The Tea Party Movement that gained ground in 2010 and 2014.
Where have you been since 2008?
WHAT? conservative movement?
The one in our halls of government?
First and foremost, my apologies. I did not intend to haul you into someone else’s conversation. I will have to watch my mouse-clicking closer.
As for the “precarious moment”, you are, of course, absolutely correct. As Rahm Emanuel famously said, “Never let a crisis go to waste.” It is a technique that is terribly over-used and we need to devolve power from the government so that every time they start the fear-mongering, our natural response is going to be, “so what?”.
I hope the balance of the Supreme Court isn’t as much of a disaster that I fear it may be, but you are correct in that I need to make the case for my position without resorting to such techniques.
Found the Katie Couric one..

Somebody needs to tell Beck he’s not running (He has a model of tje Oval Office). This is the role he’s playimg right now. Before....it was Walt Disney and MLK.
No worries. All is forgiven. :)
Just to be clear, I wasn’t necessarily railing against you, so much as the talking heads that continuously employ the desperation tactics.
Hey once you let Glennie and the five voices in his head up on stage with you you end up getting sworn in on a Mormon compass. :-)
He’s always been like that. Ever since his early days as a ‘shock jock’.
“WHAT? conservative movement?
The one in our halls of government?”
The one where Sarah Palin and Glen Beck shared a platform at the Renew America Rally in 2010 and helped, together, to usher in the first salvo against the Obama regime and GOPe.
The one where they supported a beleaguered Governor in Wisconsin, who was standing up to, and winning against the unions and liberal interests, yet was shunned by the GOPe - the the movement won and real progress was made in rolling back the leftist establishment in Wisconsin.
The one where Ted Cruz and others held out to shut down the Government and Obama thought he would be so smart that he would close the WWII Memorial and close Mt Rushmore to show us all who was boss, only to have the images of the vets locked out and the roads closed spur righteous anger in the electorate and have the Democrats lose both houses.
Now it’s time to continue on and get rid of GOPe leadership, like Ryan and McConnell and the revolving door of uniparty cabinet officials.
But an outsider comes in to feed off what was made by us, an outsider who did not support us, did not care, and even supported those against us. And who still speaks out in praise of the liberals and Vichy Republicans.
All we are going to have is a cult of personality that is smaller and less effective than what we had without Trump.
This is how movements are destroyed.
“Spoken like a true beck lover”
I used to like Becks beer.
But, no. I am not a Beck fan. I never listen to or watch him. Never have.
When I scan around the radio in the car and do listen for a bit, I never know who is talking and don’t know what they’re talking about.
Don’t understand why Palin after all of her media silence is attacking Beck. He isn’t running, Cruz won’t defend him. I don’t think Cruz will fire back.
This is definitely the silly season.
Palin has certainly worn out her Tea Party standing. Sad to see her support DT, what happened to her moral Christian character anyway? Guess some people just pay better. Palin is a no more.
Good one.
They own conservatism don’t forget
And righteousness
