BOR also assures us that 0bama is a natural born citizen, that 0bama’s birth certificate is legitimate and that 0bama is definitely not a muslim. BOR says so therefore it must be true.

“And let me say this: I’m skeptical of all the media – all of it,” Levin said. “When the highest-rated program on our favorite cable network is hawking a book that trashes the greatest president – certainly in modern history – certainly in the top two or three of all history — a record in defeating the Soviet Union, a record of pushing communism out of this hemisphere, a record in the greatest economic growth, probably in American history, a record that made America proud again – proud again. A man who built up the United States military. A man who built a shining city on a hill. A man who turned this country around when the last left-wing kook president was driving us into the sewer. When a so-called conservative network, and the highest-rated show is pedaling a smear on this man. Shame on him and shame on them. That is correct.”

This is what Mark Levin said about BOR, and then he expounded on the greatness of Reagan, and how he built up the military and turned our country around economically. Then why is Mark Levin (and Rush Limbaugh too) pushing a pacifistic weak man, Ben Carson, who will not seriously attempt to build up our military, nor will he seriously get through Congress any real measures to aid our economy, for President?

Meanwhile Levin is tearing down Trump, a man whom, until a couple of weeks ago his political compatriot Rush Limbaugh was hailing as a candidate that he agreed with on many issues. Rush was so pleased that someone was finally out there saying what we all secretly wanted to say but had no real platform to use, and that Trump was speaking for the Main Street folks of our country, not Wall Street and K Street. I think Mark Levin is secretly a Cruz man, trying to get rid of Trump via his Carson praising, in order to get to Cruz as the candidate of choice.

Rush’s brother, I might add is promoting his new book that has a lot of religious based content, and Rush may be going rah, rah on Carson in order to help his brother’s book sales. Maybe, maybe not, but I am suspicious as to why Rush has so suddenly changed political verbal backing from Trump to Carson.

There are people that don’t believe Carson’s personal story and that he’s trying to deflect the MSM away from further analysis of his personal history. He is using his fight with the MSM as a giant fundraising gimmick, to get in more money, and he is succeeding.

The gullible thinks Carson’s fights with the MSM are based on moral principle (his first issue to set himself up against the MSM, was his saying he didn’t want a Muslim to be President of our country, guaranteeing to get the attention of the media, and it did). Carson learned quickly from watching Trump’s campaign, that if you went up against the MSM and the elites you rose in the polls.

The difference is that Trump is not saying what he is saying for any reason other than that it is what he believes and saying what he truly wants to accomplish for our country. Trump is beholding to no one. Carson needs and wants money.

Trump is not saying what he does because he needs money. He can’t be bought off. On the other hand, Carson is saying what he is saying, I believe, because he wants to raise money from gullible and politically naive people who think he’s saying what he says because of moral principle. There may be some of that, but I believe he is doing it primarily as a money raising technique.

Carson said this about 9/11, when Bush 43 attacked Afghanistan’s Al Qaeda strongholds. Carson said what he would have done as a response was to build up our energy resources as the solution to the attack on the twin towers, rather than attack Al Qaeda. Think about that, Carson would not have responded to the attack on our country by enemies that knocked down the Twin Towers and killed 3,000 people by attacking those enemies, but rather by building up our energy sources to reduce oil dependency as a response to 9/11. He is a pacifist, just as his religion, Seventh Day Adventist, believes. And the newly formed Carson bandwagon wants this kind of guy for our President in these dangerous times?

Trump is both a leader and a fighter and can’t be swayed by the political elite or MSM, and what Levin and Limbaugh are doing right now by promoting Carson, is a great disservice to our country and what it needs at this point in history. Trump is our only real hope to turn this country around. It sickens me what Levin and Limbaugh are doing right now. Two men who I have greatly admired, up until now. What is happening right now to our country, is vastly more important than playing political games on two premier conservative radio programs. Shame on them both.

Will called himself "an amiable, low-voltage atheist." Maybe "agnostic" is closer to the mark. He majored in religious studies in college and follows religious discussions, but can't bring himself to say that he's convinced that there is a God.

He's also said he doesn’t believe in God "in the traditional sense," but instead has a "complicated notion of the deity." He may be one of those people who thought too much about religion, rather than too little. His father was a philosophy professor, though and many of them are atheists.

I wish Bill would write about him harassing women who worked at FoxNews and how he got away with it and they got fired.

I don’t think Rush and Levin are switching allegiances to Carson from Trump, but are taking up for him against how the drive by media treat the Republican candidates, especially the black ones, compared to how they treat the Dems, specifically Hillary and Obama. I listened to Levin last night, and I didn’t hear him ragging on Trump. He hardly mentioned Trump at all. I also didn’t hear Rush say anything that would indicate that he’s turning against Trump.

A fellow Freeper, Catsrus, posted this comment. I am not alone in my belief about Levin:

“I heard Levin say the very thing posted here and it made me angry. I’ll tell you my theory - Mark wants to endorse Cruz, but wants everyone to think he hasn’t made a decision yet - bull! He knows Trump likes to say things and by making the statement he did - he was gunning for Trump so he wouldn’t have to endorse him. Bingo!! That gives him justification to endorse Cruz. I see through him - I’ve picked up on his little hints. Besides, Michael Savage - his nemesis, has come out for Trump - so Levin can’t do it. Just read between the lines.”

Here is what Levin actually said, as referenced by Catsrus:

“Mark Levin, who said on Friday...”Any Republican candidate who piles on Ben Carson when the leftist media is attacking him, is a candidate I can’t support.”

And he meant Trump.

He didn’t mention Trump by name -he didn’t have to - he went off on a tirade about tariffs. Now, just who has been talking about tariffs except Trump? Of course, he meant Donald. I’m just about through listening to him.

Never understood how this blow-bag O’Reily’s ratings are as good as they are. The guy is a lib. I haven’t watched a single minute of his show in many years. He got far too liberal for me a long time ago and has only gotten worse as time went by.

Levin has also said that anyone supporting TPP should not be considered for the nomination, so that eliminates Carson.
