I completely agree.

[TBP]

Glenn is a very important voice.

[SaraJohnson]

I wonder if his hope that Americans will come together “with malice towards none” could possibly happen in today’s society. The left has nothing but malice for constitutional freedom and against American-Americans.

I look at someone pretty innocent like Sarah Palin and the absolute hatred that the Left held for her, and I wonder if ever there can be a middle ground with these radical people who control our education system and most of our non-profits and corporations. The middle ground would be total enslavement. There is no middle ground between global communism and American constitutional freedom.

I remember Glenn Beck. I miss that guy’s show. Strip away the hambone mannerisms and he was very informative. I will never forget his detailed and devastating expose of the “carbon trading” scheme. He named names.

Well said. Our enemy is Evil and evil gives no quarter.

Amen.

David Horowitz’s into

~~~~~

Should be intro

BTW, he gives MUCH historical background info
on America’s enemies.

[SaraJohnson]

David Horowitz...unfortunately, I witnessed his history.

He began conservative and then, when he though Rinos had the upper hand, he promoted them...anything but socialists, he said. Out spend them, he suggested, to buy votes for the GOP.

And now the Gop is what it is.

Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch .. blogged about being at the 2011 Restoration Weekend:

Jihad Watch- Restoration Weekend 2011

I just got back from the David Horowitz Freedom Center's Restoration Weekend 2011 at The Breakers in West Palm Beach, Florida, where I was on two panels:

one on "Islam vs. Islamism" with Andy McCarthy, along with the artist Bosch Fawstin and Baroness Caroline Cox, and one on "Islamists in America" with Raymond Ibrahim, Daniel Greenfield, and Frank Gaffney, moderated by Jamie Glazov.

It was a stimulating weekend as always, perhaps more serious and grimly determined than other years. And that's understandable.

With Congressman Ed Royce (R-CA), another courageous warrior for freedom, at a blurry moment

With Adam Hasner, candidate for U.S. Senate from Florida, and fearless truth-teller

*snip*(see worthwhile comments at link above)

One that's notable:

Nice talking with you this weekend, Robert! And for those who are interested, the "Islam vs. Islamism" panel discussion that Robert mentions inspired me to write up this blog post, "Islam by Any Other Name...".

Excerpt of above:

Islam By Any Other Name

I am convinced, based on the evidence I’ve seen, that there is nothing that rises to the level of an ideology that is held by those self-labeled Muslims who do not wish to destroy us and our way of life.

This weekend I attended David Horowitz’s Restoration Weekend in Florida. One of the panel discussions was entitled “Islam vs. Islamism,” the purpose of which was to discuss the ongoing debate between Andrew McCarthy and Robert Spencer regarding the terminology we should use to refer to those who, today, pose a threat to us and our way of life, along with the ideology that motivates them.

Over the years we have seen the enemy’s ideology referred to using a variety of terms: “Islamism,” “Radical Islam,” “Militant Islam,” “Political Islam,” “Islamic Totalitarianism,” and “Islamic Supremacism,” among others. The primary motivation for using such terms, instead of just saying “Islam,” is to acknowledge the fact that only a minority of those who call themselves Muslims wish to kill us or destroy our way of life.

Typical of Politco .. snarking about the Restoration event, and the comments are scandalous:

Gingrich’s speech at the Restoration event

Bachmann, Coulter, Gingrich Make the Rounds at Restoration Weekend (with video)

###

Conservative activist David Horowitz’s Restoration Weekend, a pricey four-day Palm Beach celebration of conservative ideas, just wrapped up. I wasn’t there, but I followed some of the action from people who were, chiefly blogger Steven Rosenblum and CPAC director Lisa De Pasquale.

Some of the speakers:

Newt Gingrich
Ann Coulter
Fred Thompson
Dutch politician Geert Wilders
Phyllis Schlafly
Jonah Goldberg
Frank Gaffney
Steve Moore
Andrew McCarthy
Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.)
Rep. John Boehner (R-Ohio)
Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-Mich.)
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.)
Liz Cheney
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.)
ACORN videographers James O’Keefe and Hannah Giles
Democratic pollster-turned-Fox News pundit Pat Caddell

The speeches, according to Twitter accounts, provided naught but red meat.

From Pat Caddell: Conservatives need to financially support the efforts of Andrew Breitbart and David Horowitz. “You people aren’t doing enough.”

From Jonah Goldberg: Republicans need to start campaigning on repealing any health care bill that passes.

From Michele Bachmann: “I’m waiting for Newsweek’s series of Secs of State in running shorts. Think [Hillary] Clinton and [Madeline] Albright will sell copies?” According to Rosenblum, Bachmann told the crowd that Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) had stolen his election.

And for a flavor of the proceedings, here’s video of “Islamofascism” critics Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer.

Very thoughtful comments, Sara. I don’t know that we can ever have a middle ground or that we would want one. I’m partial to Our Founders’ Constitutional Middle Ground, which provided Liberty and Justice for all.

I think I’m going to try my level best to enjoy the Christmas month of December and try to dedicate myself to the meaning of Christmas and let politics take its rightful course/coarse, and hope by the New Year things will have sorted themselves out.

It’s imperative the smug, arrogant Marxist gets his head handed to him, and hopefully by the best conservative we can nominate.

Equally important, in case we fail to nominate a bedrock conservative, we must stack the US House and Senate with TEA Party Patriots!

Lots of work to do in the New Year!

Thanks very much, STARWISE!

For tomorrow. Very late now.

One last stop in the kitchen before I head upstairs....LOL.

:o)

[BIGLOOK]

bfl

[STARWISE]

LOL ..... (don't get me started ....;)

Our world is collapsing around us, on fire .. protests in the streets, global financial markets are on the precipice of failure,

And ...

this is the leader of the free world .. today.

AFTER

he played golf again .. for what the 68th time? .. and then played some hoops with his buds.

[itssme]

I miss Glenn Beck on TV, I miss his blackboards where I learned so much, I miss his ability to keep my attention and drive home a point, and inform the hell out of me. I love his humor and antics, that gives us the audience a moment to breathe and ingest the deadly seriousness of what he has to say.

Love you Glenn, and don’t change a thing. You are a man of purpose, and I thank the Lord that we have your insight and guidance.

[onyx]

He makes me completely sick and I totally detest him, so help me God!

[caww]

Star...just listened to his introduction of Glen and that in itself was more than an indroduction...it was an oral depiction of Glen Beck and that of the Progressive movement. Really worth the listen....not to mention the impact on Glen....moving video.

Now I will hear part #1 at this late hour...and this with thanks to you for posting these videos.

[caww]

I soooo detest the man Star...never in my life would I have imagined I could have such raw emotions about any of our Presidents....and I know without doubt I'm not alone.

One of the greatest regrets I have in life is I didn't see the day coming when American people would loose all sense of discernment and vote for such a man as BO.....that they could fall for such deception.. and that with a smile in their heart and melody on their lips as they pulled that lever for this creature who now sits in our Whitehouse...and for those who voted for him I have equal disdain

[STARWISE]

Glad you heard Horowitz .. it was certainly
more than a simple intro... it was the history
of hateful, purposeful anti-Americanism.

And yes .. Glenn was certainly moved, and
fittingly so. God love him and keep him
safe.

He’s such a brutally maligned voice in the wilderness.
Thank God for his close circle of support, prayers
and God’s mercy. Otherwise, how could he keep his
sanity, his health, stay strong, focused, build his
new media company, spread the truth and exist amidst
such vile hatred daily for so long.

Video from his radio show this week .. his “apocalyptic
packet” .. the last warning. It’s the horrendous comments from the OWSers interviewed, including murder, more 911s, beheadings, anti-semitism, etc., that he recommends parents
get into the hands and heads of their college kids before it’s too late. One last chance.
