but if you listen to what he's pushing, a third party, you have to realize the truth
that its a path that will lead to a second term for Barak Obama, and by doing so will completely destroy this country.
Glenn’s not pushing a third party. He’s asking for a conservative in Washington to stand up to their party, and embrace their true conservative values.
Beck digs into the dirt behind O and reveals the truth about the dangerous people in the administration.
That’s the one reason to watch and learn.
Attacking Beck simply help the left and diminishes our chance of taking back congress.
Criticize him at your own peril.
I’ve heard Beck specifically say that a third party is not the way to go.
“nutbar” is a good description for Beck. I could go farther, but will opt to sit back and watch him implode. Beck is brilliant at times, but it is fleeting...
He does not push a third party.
He says over and over that we should vote for the person, not the party. That government has become corrupt and that voting dim or rino will not solve the problem. We must vote for the person with ethics. All that means is split ticket voting, split as many ways as required.
Perhaps you don't know that our founders were vehemently opposed to the political party system and predicted that it would bring about an end to democracy. That certainly appears to be what is happening and why it is happening.
As for the Ron Paul digs, give me a quote where Beck says vote for Ron Paul.
Ron Paul may not be the right person for the presidency, but he is far from a fool. Go back and read what he said during the last election. His comments on our economy and our monetary system reads like today's newspaper.
When do you think it would be an opportune time to try and get a third party in office? It has to start sometime, doesn’t it?
You so succinctly describe my exact same observation, conclusion, and uber-worry.
.
You’ve hit the nail on the head.
People, don’t be like the nutbar kids protesting the G20.
The young generation that protests just to protest are idiots.
Getting wild in protesting “everything”, i.e., the traditional conservative party - the Republicans - that is one half of a two-party system, is just as stupid.
People do this simply because they don’t have the guts to stand up and say they’re Republican because they are then identified as conservative. Instead, they say they are just “mad at both parties”, making them an angry loon who a goofball student protester type will have a conversation with instead of ridiculing a “conservative”.
Fed “conspiracy” people - are idiots. The Fed is owned by member banks, not Goldfinger.
The central bank and bank oversight in general is needed.
Their monetary policy, on the other hand, is misguided.
That’s understandable, because they’re pompous. They overestimate their ability to “help” the economy through managing the money supply. Fact is, the money needs to be what it needs to be to allow transactions to happen. Beyond that, control exerted is a problem waiting to happen. Once again, if the government would simply do their job, i.e., police banks to make sure they are solvent, that’s optimal. Doing strange contortions to the money supply is just risking actually doing damage.
Since economists are removed from the “real world” of accounting and business, they fail to point to the number one culprit, which is big government, which is a drag on efficiency. The study of efficiency is what Economics is really all about, but my Econ professors never made that point crystal clear, it’s just not the generally accepted view.
Again, the educational system which produces young adults that do no know _anything_ about the Depression turns out students that don’t know simple arithmetic, and therefore can be idiotic enough to think that a “gold standard” is mathematically possible.
There is not anywhere near enough gold to use it to “back” currency. Hey gold-back people - gold is used in manufacturing, making it a commodity, so just how can the price be controlled when it “backs” a dollar ? The dollar value of the material currency / coin is made of has to be less than the face value of the currency / coin, or people start destroying it to reclaim the material.
Fiat currency works fine if the money supply is simply kept at a reasonable level and not used to “fix” economic problems. When a “boom” happens, like in the 1990’s, government economists need to find out why it is really happening then they can correctly prepare for the bust. If they don’t know why it’s happening, there’s no way they can prepare, using money supply or anything.
Now, before someone wants to contradict the anti-gold standard position, I ask one thing - go do some googling, and put at the beginning of your response the total value of all gold on the surface of the earth, followed by a total figure of just the U.S. money supply. If you don’t know what I mean by money supply, then there’s no point in responding.
Now, other than that, Ron Paul has many excellent perspectives. Like my favorite one du jour - the federal Department of Education - it needs to be abolished. Every state has its’ own already, and they employ a ton of highly educated people who do not need other highly educated people to “oversee” them. Unfortunately, trying to “fix” schools at the Federal level sounds awesome under a conservative administration, i.e., we’ll whip those states into shape. Under the current communist administration, well, that kind of bounces back and hits us in the face. Which is why a President does well for the nation, the world and himself to think twice before expanding Executive branch powers. The answer for public schools is simple - they are too full of communist and wimpy “scared of islam” philosophy to function and people should home school or Christian school their children. Which is why they are catching on.
That being said, yes, Glenn Beck is doing a wonderful service of getting Republicans off their couches.
See, if seiu and acorn are out there organizing voters, conservatives must do the same - and conservatives MUST get true conservatives elected.
Glenn is, I suppose, trying to make his comments more palatable by saying this is “progressive”, the truth that we’re talking about communism is only being spoken of as time goes by. Progressive is a part of the equation, but libertarians need to wake up to reality that not supporting the Republican candidate results in the Democrat getting elected. This means, however, that we would, if we were smart, keep the Republican party’s house clean.
then we can rebuild
The point Beck makes and it’s consitent, is that Mcain,Bush type “conservatives” will bring us to the same end Barry is taking us.
It is far better to be thrown into a hot pot of water and jump out then to fall asleep in the lukewarm water of the current Republican leadership.
Barry is throwing us into hot water and even the ingnorant who voted for him are getting burned.
Where did you get Beck’s wanting a third party?
I have heard him discussing the risks of such voting idiocy. He even said that no, repeat, NO third party had won.
Just wondering if I had missed something.
Uhhhh. Forgive me but seriously. Anyone that thinks this Kenyan born, Indonesian citizen is anything less than a "lifer" when it comes to occupying the office of President of the United States then said person/people are smoking way too much peyote.
JMHO
