Levin knows that and it rankles him every waking moment of his life right now.

Somehow, I doubt it.

I was driving with a friend with the Levin radio show playing in my truck. After a while, my apolitical friend asked who this guy was ranting on Beck. I replied that it was one conservative radio host venting his spleen about his disagreements with another conservative radio host. My friend offered this perspective: "He sounds like a high school dweeb talking sh*t about the guy who took his ex-girlfriend to the prom."

To even a casual listener, who knows no history of Levin's grievances, it comes across as bile filled envy.

Didnt know that - you mean in that religion, some are considered better than others? What is that based on - who’s gets an exalted status?

- - - - - - - -
Your ‘status’ has to do with how ‘valiant’ you were in their ‘pre-existance’.

Those born to faithful temple married Mormon families here in the US were the most faithful. If you were born to a prestigious LDS family than you were more faithful than most and destined for greatness.

Then comes those who were not born LDS but who converted. The earlier the conversion the more valiant you had obviously been (I converted as a teenager - so I was pretty good). But converts are almost always looked upon by those who were born/raised in a big name LDS family (like Romney).

Then come those born outside the US.

Then American Indians, then Blacks (who they used to teach had the mark of Cain because they were ‘fence sitters’ in the ‘war in heaven’ between God and Satan (God’s second oldest spirit child).

No, I am not kidding.

That’s a fair analysis. Are they so in love that they would seek out a 3rd party? BTW, ‘51’ is young, 85 is old - so enjoy your youth and be home by 10. ;)

Glad yo got to meet him must have been invigorating,he's the reel deel IMHO.

Few know just how exhausting three hours of radio can be,even fewer do an additional hour of tv. Sean and Beck have huge responsibilities and work many hours week after week.

Once you have been in the media long enough to see what these guys go through it creates an entirely different world in your mind.AT least it does for me.

And you know this personally? How do you know Beck isnt in it for himself? Because you have faith that he’s real?

"Didnt know that - you mean in that religion, some are considered better than others?"

Definitely! - My ex's family was one of the founding Mormon families, and her Father was treated like royalty everywhere. He gave me a temple admit, and I wasn't even Mormon.

We don’t need a new philosophy. We have the Constitution.

I am 100% in agreement with you re: the Constitution as our guiding document and source of our foundational principles, as well as the Declaration of Independence and the writings of the Founding Fathers such as the Federalist Papers. No argument from me whatsoever.

As far as "needing" a new philosophy I don't view philosophies as something "cooked up" as much as something that is revealed through a search for the truth. Searching for the truth involves asking new questions as well as old questions that have not recently been asked.

Beck may or may not develop a new philosophy and either way is fine with me. But I, personally, enjoy watching him go through a process of search that *could* end up in a new way of understanding just what makes human beings tick. That is one of the important reasons that I support and defend Glenn Beck.

Too few people in the public square are asking important questions these days. Beck is brave to do so in today's political climate.

For the record - we no longer donate to the RNC, we are Tea Party participants from day 1, and we only contribute to conservative candidates.

But a renewed, revived, refocused Republican party is the answer (as Reagan said 35 years ago).

Third parties ALWAYS end up with Dems staying in power, or regaining it.

The third party kick Glenn's on, if enough people follow him, will be a DISASTER for America. He's got to stop it.

It really is interesting to watch people listening to others instead of doing their own homework.

Every story has two sides!

I look for the day that these two fine men Bennett and Levin stop this kind of behavior!

Beck is not a Bircher, I feel he is pressing hard on the parties to clean up their act and get with the constitution.

Agree to disagree.

(But I'm still praying for him, because his behavior is worrying me).

I don't think it is a third party as much as abstaining from getting sucked into the RNC machine. By staying an independent curmudgeon we keep them on their toes! Am I the only one that sees this?

"Personality preferences aside, you put Beck and Levin at the same show: Beck sucks up all of the oxygen. Beck attracts the crowds. Beck gets all of the soundbites. Beck grabs 90% of the headlines.
Levin knows that and it rankles him every waking moment of his life right now."

Nonsense! - - Ailes tried to get Levin to do a program on Fox, and he refused. Beck is third or fourth choice there.

Ailes talked to several thousand people before Levin about hosting a show on Fox. Your point is?

What it comes down to, Levin is not and will never be a national media figure in that a average man/woman on the street will have a clue that he exists. Glenn Beck has carved a prime time sized audience in a time slot where these numbers have never existed before. His radio audience ranks among the highest as well.

For media recognition, Beck will always outshine Levin. He simply is more skilled and equipped to do so. This bugs Levin. His carping makes it obvious.

I far prefer hearing the classy Rush take a call from a lib

That is it. Why I love Rush and can’t stand Beck. Rush has class, Beck doesn’t

No, Levin is his #1, but he doesn’t feel comfortable on camera, so all he’ll do is short spots.

Theatrics works - it’s TV - people want to be entertained and sometimes they think they learned something.

I agree with that statement. I love people. I was making sure the guy I responded to wasn’t going to start gay bashing.
