Are you nuts? Did you even watch the speech?
He said "healthcare, housing and handouts are NOT 'rights'". He bashed PROGRESSIVISM, and folks in either party who embraced it. Mostly Dems, but yes also Teddy Roosevelt, with a superb Marxist quote pulled right from him. He praised Coolidge for his tax and spending cuts which geneated maasive economic growth and blamed Progressives and some of their GOP tools (yes, including the wretched Hoover) for the follwing economic collapse.
Beck's Conservative ideas will strengthen the Republican party--if they listen.
Read of the instances of govt controlling the water, the air, now even our very breath of life.
Will Republicans AS CURRENTLY EMPOWERED do anything to restore our LIBERTY?
I know people will disagree with this next statement, and even call me a doper or worse.....but here goes. When listening to Medved especially, a fascist in conservative clothing if I have ever seen one, or just about any "conservative mouthpiece, they will say that "we can't decriminalize drugs". "It will cause more usage by citizens, and THAT is unacceptable". That is the argument of the tyrant, not the sovereign.
WHO IS ANYONE to tell a FREE man what he can or cannot do to his own body? Laws against sales, and distribution, now you have a place where govt laws have a legitimate place, but to imprison a person because they may cost "society" a dollar is not how freedom can survive.
Whether or not you agree with controlling behavior that harms yourself, by using his argument, you can stretch that to controlling food, gasoline, diesel, tobacco, sugary snacks, the list is really endless. IT IS NONE OF THE GOVTS BUSINESS, what you do with your own body. IT IS ONLY THE GOVTS BUSINESS, when you directly harm ANOTHER.
That just about covers it in my book. Seatbelt and helmet laws....Bovine excrement.... Freedom comes with personal risks, and for Republicans to really change this country, they must embrace the good with the bad behavior as beyond the reach of Big Sis.
The reason I use this example is that Conservatives, even Republicans, could strip liberty loving citizens from the Democrats if they would embrace personal liberty. Let state laws trump Federal where the Constitution requires that, allow people to live free in their personal lives. Cut the crimes in the law to say....10 or so. It is good enough for God, why is it not good enough for the USA? This BS of charging some guy that flew his plane into an IRS office (I know this did not happen, but would have if he lived) with "operating a vehicle in a reckless manner", attempted murder, murder, attempted assault, assault, flying too low, flying too fast, dumping his ashtray in the parking lot, and littering, shows how idiotic the law has become.
The govt charges you with any and all crimes they can think of, use the force of their position to threaten you, have you plea out to a lesser crime (unless you are not PC) then move on.
The law, the budget, the debt and deficit, are not the result of Democrat wasteful spending, but of Republicans refusing to roll back spending when they had the chance. When the children tear the house up with a big party, you get angry but it is kind of expected if the "adults" are away. When the "adults" gain control, and throw an even bigger party, they no longer stand on the high ground. To regain their footing, they must renounce pas sins, turn 180 degrees around, and CUT CUT CUT.
