The number of people here that will buy ANYTHING that Mark Levin is selling is quite troubling to me. When exactly he became God, I don’t know.
In a contest between Boehner and Levin, I'm with Levin.
If the Scalise scandal never happened, Boehner still needs to go, and Scalise would need to go for backing Boehner.
Because he speaks for the ‘Founding Fathers’ ever since he read those Federalist papers.
And they know everything, how to fix everything, then, now, forever.
You aren't dissing the Founders I hope because them would be fighting words.
I think he went from merely a conservative talk show radio host to all-wise, all-knowing infallible savior around the time that Ann Coulter STOPPED being one. I'm serious.
Coulter's popularity was HUGE for a decade, and from around 2002-2011, if you disagreed with ANYTHING she said or did, her fans would attack you in droves and start foaming at the mouth that you're anti-American liberal scum. Coulter's adamant support of Christie and Romney (backlash from the latter making no sense, since she had ALSO backed him in 2008 and her fan club simply ignored it and pretended she had "endorsed Duncan Hunter") and her associated with the GOProud soured people on her. Coulter still sells books, but no longer enjoys that creepy blind cult-like worship.
I wonder if there's any correlation between Coulter's fall and Levin's rise. I don't recall conservatives worshiping him prior to 2010, although he was a well known radio talk show host for a while before becoming a deity. It's like people needed someone to fill the vacuum and tell them how they should think about an issue on any given day.
>> Levin’s quixotic quest for a “states’ constitutional convention” is one of the most dangerous ideas that ever has come out of the conservative movement. Is Levin so naïve as to ignore the fact that liberals will hijack the process and approve amendments that would destroy our way of life? Liberals will come up with some amendment that sounds pretty and get it approved at the states’ conventions (which will be chock full of liberals pretending to be conservatives), and then apply inordinate pressure on state legislatures to get them ratified. <<
I mentioned on another thread that the most damning argument against Levin's latest crusade is that the Illinois General Assembly recently voted in favor of an "Article V convention of the states", and the votes were nearly perfectly along party lines -- with all the Chicago Democrats voting in FAVOR of Levin's proposal, and all the Illinois Republicans voting AGAINST it. That speaks volumes. Some Levinite accused me of "trolling" for pointing out that Levin and Mike Madigan are on the same side. Madigan certainly agrees with Levin that state legislatures need to be much more powerful and oppose the federal government whenever federal laws get in the way of their agenda.
