Thanks Rabs. This sounds like many of my comments.
Not only was Levin completely wrong about the Bush economy, he tried to whitewash it and re-write history last Fall. What really gets me about this jerk is how arrogant he is on the air like this when he is wrong so often.
He was also wrong on election strategy too, if you listen to him ,republicans would still be in power if they spent all that money re-building Iraq but told the voters no pork for them. This is idiotic logic but his fans repeat it. GWB did prescription drugs and Education to win over specific voters to get past 2004 when GWB/Iraq popularity was fading. In the long term it didnt keep those voters, but it was an effective Rove short term strategy, and Levin is a “Elect Republicans or Die” man and showed himself last fall with McCain.
My other complaints is that Levin acts like Bush tax cuts would pay for all military and defense spending, then why not give everyone everything if the cure is always tax cuts? That was the result with GWB and now with Obama. “Government does NOT have to be paid for” is the message.
BTW : I was a Levin fan for years , read ‘Men in Black’ in those days. But now I see he spits out non-sense.
"Are we to remain a Republic, or should we turn the Republic into an Empire?" The question operates on many levels from the political to the religious. The original argument was won by those who had an uniquely American agenda, i.e., the spreading of Truth, Justice, and the American way, which included Christianity (Protestant), Democratic Government (eventually), Sanitation, and Education.
Of course, our export version of civilization and the righteous way of life didn't automatically appeal to every one, and we had to do quite a bit of "Civilizing'em with a Krag." Our showcase project: The Philippines. Did it work? There's a book right there!
The Libertarians (and Beck) are beginning to question the sanity of this, not to mention its constitutionality, as did many sincere patriots when this school of thought predominated.
Beck is right, Levin is just jealous, we’e on the same team folks, and McCain would have been worse, because he was a socialist too, only the blame for ruining America would have been on the GOP, at least this way it’s not. I fully support Beck
I love Mark Levin. The only I don’t like about him is the fact that he doesn’t live next door to me.
