I look for Glenn Beck to be the first one to put a conservative TV network together. I'll bet he's rounding up investors already.

Remember, you read this audacious prediction in my post first!

Like him or not, Beck's got more raw gut courage than all the talk show hosts put together. If the others are becoming more hard-hitting and open lately on their formerly taboo/touchy subjects....like naming names of Communists in the administration , it's because of Glenn....no one else!

God love and protect him if Beck is putting together a conservative TV network. We sorely need one. I do respect him for getting the real stuff out there, especially the communism enemy-within stuff. His show is educational and should be seen by every high school kid in America.

Everyone, if you haven't seen this trailer, go for it: Agenda: Grinding America Down

You have to understand about liberals--they sincerely believe they are objective, and "nonpartisan" for that matter. Their bias is so implicit in their world view they have long since forgotten that there is a real world out there that does not care to conform to their visions.

This is why I have dubbed liberalism "the politics of denial." They can distort the facts with amazing tenacity and still tell themselves that "that's just the way it is, I'm not distorting anything."

Consider how they swoon over their own wonderful intelligence, and look up to their first string, cadres of Ivy Leaguers, who have run this country since Reagan left office. Look at the quagmire these geniuses have created--economy screwed up, foreign policy a mess, culture going down the tubes, a wall of hatred erected against their fellow Americans. And yet they continiue to believe they are "the achievatrons" To use the idiot expression of liberal suck-up David Brooks.

So if Garret or VandenHeuvel or that wretched Schiller skank at NPR asserts their purity, it is not exactly a lie--it is more like a genuine delusion--a false belief resistant to modification by exposure to reality.

Thanks for your good post.

I heard Glenn drop an almost inaudible, offhand comment on his TV show within the past couple weeks that he had something really big in the works which we'd all learn of later down the line.

I've wondered ever since if a conservative network is what he has in mind....because this would be REALLY BIG!

Remember how Ted Turner had an idea for a new concept in cable news (round-the-clock, non-stop news) and with this concept he started a network from scratch. How it turned out politically is irrelevant to the conversation.......the fact is he had an idea, ambition, a willingness to work hard and to take a chance....and the rest is history.

I personally feel that Beck's drive would result in something equally as successful.

It's interesting to think about, actually.

Who's "Obama Flack?" Is he related to Roberta?

I didn’t see it because we quit watching BOR about 6-8 months ago. He kisses leftist ass and then tries to claim he was tough on them. He also insists on having that commie twerp Lamont Hill on there plus a number of other leftist jerks. He is particularly rude to women guests, demeaning them by lecturing them and interrupting them even more than he does male guests, which is a lot unless they’re lefties. I just think he’s a train wreck. He never knows the details about the topics he chooses. Never. So many times I’ve known a great deal more detail about a subject than he does and so want questions about those details asked and aired, but he doesn’t have Clue One. The only thing I give him credit for is the charity donations he raises for our troops, such as Wounded Warriors and Fisher House. I credit and appreciate him for that effort very much.

If you remember, what happened with Laura?

A Conservative Network. . It's interesting to think about, actually.

That it is. Why not go for it? Millions of people would watch it. The ad revenue would be fantastic. The American people see what's going on with our country and Obama's (and D.C. in general) current and future Marxist/New World Order plans. We also see that most of the politicians aren't like the rest of us. America isn't courtrooms, ivory academic towers or chronic inertia in Washington D.C.

People are thirsty for "the real news" and want to be more educated. Since the sleeping giant is now fully awake, we want more. We want to be an 'informed electorate without spin', to hear real conservative news, (we don't need fair and balanced, we've already decided we Want Conservative!) The elections in November were a start and we're on a roll!

The Conservative Cable Network would be factual, double sourced and triple checked. Other topics: tons of American History ideas, in depth Constitution review, original documents, 'decade studies', 'citizen debates', specials on Reagan and other famous conservatives, 1776 series, core conservative values shows, the hardships of the early settlers, Judeo-Christian origins, Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers, the Frontier and struggles therein, early state governments, conservative book reviews and ongoing live 'book club' discussions, segments on conservative activism, voter education, Tea Party segments, 2nd Amendment issues, the Fed, government corruption, flat or fair tax alternatives, current conservative news and electoral candidates.

Let all the top Conservatives have a daily hour show or a weekly hour show. I can think of a bunch of people right off the bat. Seems to me you could do a 24/7 conservative meme with not enough time in a week.

I hope Glenn is maybe talking with Trump and other entrepreneurs about getting this started. The libs will fight it including the FCC, but We the People shall prevail.

that commie twerp Lamont Hill
As big a racist as either of the Justice Brothers or Farrakhan.

If you remember, what happened with Laura?
Libya I believe - can't recall, but she refuted most of his 0bama @ss-kissing comments. He was livid and barely let her finish a sentence.

give him credit for his charity donations ... Fisher House.
I'd never heard of FH until he mentioned it. I wanted to become a volunteer but there isn't one within 250 miles of me.

Beautifully put, Art. I've printed out our correspondence here and will save it for the day of the Grand Opening of the Conservative News Cable Network.....at which moment I shall direct a fine wine toast in your general direction.

Fisher House is for lodging near the VA hospitals. You might be able to do volunteer on-line coordinating.

Oh, about Laura.....was he yelling at her? Was his face turning red? I’ve seen him really, really, for-real/not acting red-faced mad just a couple times. Was he like that with Laura? Did she handle him as deftly as she handles other assholes?
