When did Beck become a GOP establishment RINO? The guy is a lot of things, but certainly not that.
Beck simply sees that the younger generations are more libertine and is dumping social conservatism in favor of a more libertarian brand of conservatism. Nothing more than. He sees a market share that Fox isn’t capturing and is trying to grab some of it.
Beck is wrong. The coming generation is not ‘libertarian’. It’s simply morally bankrupt, brainwashed, and moronic. I don’t blame them. Growing up in this society will do that to you, but I’ll put my money on the last election being only the beginning of a continuing slide in terms of voter volume. People don’t give a crap about politics anymore. It’s all, ‘I’m alright Jack,’. As long as they get to tune into “all my babies’ mommas’ and junk like Jersey Shore, watch Django Unchained at the theater, get to smoke weed all day and not have to worry about anybody taking away their sacred right to murder any unwanted children they have along the way, these kids are fine. Rush made a good point today raising the NYT idea that ‘wanting less government control decreases life-expectancy’. These kids will eat any crap fed to them by their sneering teachers and professors. You can never convince the majority of them that real freedom is important. The only freedoms most young people care about, pot and abortions.
Beck honestly thinks there’s a market to be cornered with the younger generation, providing “news” and insights into politics? Note to Beck: you better have your reporters carrying iPods and strap-ons, otherwise you’ll be lucky to get 2 viewers for this “rebrand”.
Also, will Beck be a real libertarian? I can’t imagine him advocating for heroin and prostitution legalization... but I guess principles are easy to abandon if there is money involved. Sad to see it, because he is a smart guy.
