I'm going to say this respectfully, but I bet you either weren't born before the '60s, or you weren't old enough to remember it. Here's a link to a WSJ editorial published on the day of William F Buckley's death. It was originally written for Commentary Magazine and was to run a few months later in Commentary. Buckley effectively articulates (per usual) the problems with the Birchers, and his (as well as some others) campaign to marginalize them.
See comment #75.
So what is the problem specifically with the JBS? And why would a neo-conservative like Levin have such a cow over the JBS?
Meant to say that I’m not surprised Beck likes Bill “drug warrior” Bennett.
Bingo.....
“Why would conservatives choose to surrender the political battlefield to our adversaries — who are trashing this society — when we must retake it in order to preserve our society?”
When the soldiers we send to the political battlefield keep turning their weapons on we who sent them, what would you have us do?
Those who want to do away with the Constitution (on both sides of the aisle) keep swinging the pendulum in that direction. Will we win by pushing in the opposite direction? Or might it be better to not push at all and let them swing it in the direction they want, knowing full well it will then swing back with a vengeance? And they have proven over and over again that they don’t know when to duck.
When your advesary is bent on self destruction, don’t try to stop him, just step aside and watch him implode.
bttt
Part of me expects that to happen. He is greasing the MSM skids and is in their good graces, just like Mccain was. “It’s his turn”. The media will eventually get around to trying to pick our nominee again. It’s still early.
Your quote is accurate; your premise is wrong.
>CPAC, the fruits and nuts PAC.>
and its leader Davin Keene a Sarah Palin basher and MittBot
Sarah Palin and Mark Levin are good Conservative Republicans
who knew better than to mix with that lot.
Mark Levin Ping.
***Spit it out, Beck; definitively state where your followers ought to go and do.***
That is not his responsibility - it is ours.
He is pointing out deficiencies and remedies. He is not a King Maker.
The TEA movement has no charismatic leader - and Glenn Beck should not assume that mantle. Glenn, Rush, Hannity and Levin are (as a FReeper pointed out) REPORTING THE FACTS.
I guess you did it on purpose... dropped a word out of that line that you “quoted”.
Is that humor... or do you think it’s fair to do that... as long as the words are in their somewhere it’s ok to rearrange their order and still pretend you’re “quoting” someone?
Which is it? “Humor” (not that funny) or what you actually think is fair?
I was just going to say, where does Mark get off trashing Beck for his theatrics when there is no one more irritatingly dramatic than Levin or more rude when he gets a caller he doesn’t agree with on HIS show. IMHO of all of them, the only one i absolutely LOVE to hear take callers is Rush, he is masterful with his caller audience... and I never hear Rush trash other conservative hosts.
When I attended college many moons ago our Polisci prof stated that one of the greatest propaganda ploys in political history was pulled off by the left when they destroyed the reputation of the birchers.
Mark Levin is a neo-conservative?
Isn’t that what Paulists call real conservatives who stand on all three pillars of conservtism?
Economic...social...national security?
Well, Mitt Romney won it three times, and how did that turn out?
-= - - - - - - -
Five will get you ten that no matter what Beck says now, he will come out FOR Romney at some point.
