That’s part of it to be sure, but it’s just so self-defeatist for folks on our side to enable the Left to do what it does.

Here’s why I have so much of a problem with what Beck did there.

If you get it right 90% of the time, you are enabling the Left 10% of the time. Not really all that bad a record to be sure. But what here’s what happens.

On every single important issue, we have some wing-nut or another enabling the Left on an issue that is a clear as can be. And then people on the Left, and even people who are confused in the middle think, “See even so and so knows we’re (or the Left is) right here.” It’s called chaos. It’s called chaos for a reason. Helping to create chaos on important issues, allows the Left to have it’s policies stand unrefuted by the Right.

There’s always some idiot that’s pretty sound on the Right, to buttress their (the Left’s) argument. And then those that are on solid ground on the Right, are marginalized. You might just as well say defeated. Nobody’s going to listen, because the ‘idiot stick of the day’ just buttressed the Left’s premise.

Bill Krystol has made an art form out of this type of thing. MeCain has honed it to perfection.

The Left wants to cut the military and Beck agrees. The Left wants to have abortion on demand. Laura Bush agrees. Obama wanted to close GitMo, and MeCain agrees. Obama wanted carbon mandates, and MeCain agreed with that too. The Left wanted to expand Medicare to cover prescription drugs, and Bush agreed.

The Left always has someone on our side they can play like a fiddle against us. With the exception of Lieberman (once in a while), we have no such pool of people we can draw on from the Left to get our agenda through. That’s why we continue to lose ground.

And so it goes, the Left getting Carte Blanche and we getting bupkiss for all our efforts.

So Glen, this why you deserve the triple raspberry treatment for those idiotic comments.

I don’t expect us to be unified on the small things, but the military..., good heavens man, buy a clue.
