It isn’t easy to stand behind your principles. But when I find a set of principles inherently American that I recognize and can identify, I easily stand behind them. If I learned nothing else in the U.S. Army, I did learn that you must stand firm on your instincts when you know you’re right, and those principles dictate you’re right. I found those principles in conservatism, and I was introduced to them formally by Rush Hudson Limbaugh III.

It's annoying. Please put "satire" in the headline.
Yeah, go ahead and pimp my blog. That’s the whole idea. Nothing more annoying than people who have nothing better to do than to cruise threads and criticize the way they’re posted without having the slightest clue of why they’re even posted at all.
Please put “I’m annoying” in your future posts.
I am pleased with your essay and I am pleased I read it properly!
:)
First time I read you. I knew it wasn't satire. Then someone replied to me..."Hey dude...you fell for it". So I read your piece again. And again. Then I read your other pieces on Levin and other topics. So some here skimming your article and attacking us as dupes (when we weren't duped) worked out well for you. Got some people to read you in depth. Good stuff.
The literary equivalent of sqee-geeing your windshield and demanding a dollar.
Thank you for reading. And I can see we agree on Beck. But I do a lot of satire, and sometimes people try to out think themselves with these things.
And thank you for reading. I appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it.
I just think you're blowing it out of proportion.
Glenn Beck is not big on third Parties. He's big on holding Republicans' feet to the fire. You're not opposed to that, are you? Of course you're not. Stupid question. I withdraw the question.
Glenn Beck and Mark Levin have the same goal. A United States governed my men and women of honor, integrity and soberness.
They're just going about it in different ways.
I will say this though. If it takes the THREAT of a third Party to get the Republican Party to straighten up and fly right, well, I'm on board with that.
I know, and I'm willing to bet Glenn Beck knows, we will NEVER find a candidate that is 100% ideologically pure.
In order to settle for less, one must first demand more.
If we demand less and then settle for even less, then I will say this with all the eloquence I can muster....we're screwed.
Why don't you go worship at the altar of Beck, and email him your snippy comments.
I’m sure he does, but for my money, I’d rather listen to Mark Levin.
I wasn’t seeking attention, but you made the leap without having a clue. As you did before. I posted here for a reason. You can comment all you want, but while you’re at it, why don’t you write a piece that we can read so I can in turn become an expert like yourself.
I like listening to both.
In fact, I wish FOX would get rid of Whorealdo and give Levin a show.
And Mark Steyn, too, for that matter.
The more the merrier as far as I'm concerned.
No it wasn't. Its an opinion piece the same as any others posted here. As usual I skimmed the article (sorry writer33). Then you and Texas Eagle said I had been duped. So I went back reread the article and checked to see other articles by writer33 to make sure I had it right. Which I did of course (admit on the second reading I was still thinking...wow...this is pretty subtle satire...I still don't get it).
I don’t know that Levin would do television; although I’m sure he’s been asked to do it. I’d be for Levin and Steyn doing a show as well.
I agree, I love them both! And each, like everyone I know, has areas I disagree with. And that is just fine with me, being I can think for myself ;)
He got me too, that’s what I get for not looking at the author!! Duh!
No problem. The main reason I posted here is that I reach my ping list without having to mail everyone and tell them to go to the blog to read it.
And the reason I excerpt it is largely because I throw pictures up at the blog and it makes it easier on the eyes to read. Not surfing for dollars. My motives were only honorable in their intentions.
And for those that are not on my ping list, thank you sincerely for reading. I appreciate it. And I didn’t demand a dime from you. LOL!
HOORAY Glenn Beck! Glenn Beck is OUTSTANDING!
Glad you enjoy Glenn Beck. I’m now removing you from my ping list. LOL!
