Mark Levin: I have no idea what philosophy Glenn Beck is promoting. And neither does he

"The way I understand Beck is that he is mainly railing against Progressives in both parties... Marxists Communists which are the Liberal Progressives and Libertarians which are the Conservative Progressives."

You're just throwing empty words to the wind.

There is no such thing as a "conservative progressive," and there is nothing 'progressive' about libertarians (small L).

The only difference between libertarians and full conservatives is the libertarians largely do not trust in the Lord, and are thus easily led astray. Otherwise there is little philosophical difference.

Beck understands neither.

One of the talking heads on Chris Wallace's program suggested that much of the audience was relatively young. If so, visceral youthful exuberance could have resulted in that which you witnessed.

Your thoughts?

what do you mean embrace the homosexuals? What, now I can’t like gay people?

Levin is in no danger of being upstaged by anyone not named Rush Limbaugh.

Well, you say that, and I would certainly think that but the fact is, Beck was given the coveted Saturday Night Lecture and Levin was offered something else and grumbled "not if the Birchers are there" and, I'm sorry, could it be...

If all the young kids show up to vote for him, just as they did at CPAC then he will be a danger to the GOP if he runs as independent.. only 25% of the attendees at CPAC voted,which is pretty indicative of how uninvolved much of the country remains... that everyone who went out of their way to attend CPAC didn’t vote is a shock to me.

Good point. But compared to Romney is what I was pointing out. McCain has never once added pork to a bill by inserting a set aside. He has continually attempted to eliminate the set asides as part of the budget process and establish mechanisms to implement accountability. He has supported conservative national security initiatives (except stopping illegal immigration) and the military. Meanwhile every aspect of Romney’s record is liberal.

Don’t get me wrong, McCain is a RINO and I hope J.D. defeats him. I am just saying that Romney is far to the left of McCain.

[Terpfen]

I highly doubt it.

Great thread Tim.

Mark's achilles heel.

RE: I can’t honestly call either of them conservatives.

I agree, and therefore Mark never should have given an endorsement saying Romney shares most of our conservative values.

Yea,You’ll be on some of the first boxcars to the marxist healthcare farm.Really small minded of you doncha think?

[freekitty]

There seemed to be a lot more idiots than real conservatives there. The John Birch Society and that Pink Code witch got through.

What kind of idiots were running CPAC this year and why is the great Mark Levin the only one talking?

[jenk]

Wrong. Levin, Hannity and Rush pour their lives into the movement. Beck has yet to man up and do so.

[jenk]

that is a childish statement

[Happy Rain]

Beck is to the GOP as Trotsky was to the Bolsheviks or Roehm to the Nazis.
Like the leadership of those parties,mainstream Republican leaders reactions to such intensity for the cause—in this case the cause of conservatism--makes them feel insecure.

Beck,like O’Reilly,is not perfect but I believe necessary to the conservative reconquest of the US—and I find it somewhat unwholesome that so many want him to end up like Trotsky and Roehm (figuratively speaking,of course).

[DakotaRed]

BFD!

I’ve watched Beck enough to know he doesn’t fully represent me.

If he does you, your problem hon, not mine.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I disagree... as long as people like Lindsay Graham is out there pushing Cap n Trade, McCain is suspending his presidential campaign to go vote for TARP and $150 billion in pork spending, and people like Cornyn is pushing Crist for Senate vs a real conservative like Rubio...and sends in McCain to try and get someone like Tom Ridge to run against Toomey in PA, they are not any better.. they spent as good as the democrats the last 20 years and our country is all but bankrupt because of it and more and more people are happy to live off the public trough thanks to both parties. When they vote to confirm someone like Eric Holder for AG (like Hatch, McCain, etc., did) they are not any better than what Holder is currently pulling over all of us with the terrorists.

My kids are 27, 26 and 23. They all LOVE Beck, and are turning their friends on to him. Beck isn’t my cup-a-tea, and honestly, I think he’s riding the bandwagon, but the more young folks he can convert the better. He’s flashy, and that’s what the kids like. I’ll pass on him, his style and his shows. Mark Levin is much more intellectual, and that fits my style better. But, then, I’m an old fart of 51.

It’s not that I don’t care, but the conservs have to stop looking for the perfect man. The opponents of consevatism will use all of the ammo they give them to destroy them. The way I see it is, the dem/lib/progressives rarely condemn one of their own, no matter how outrageous the behavior. Conservs beat up their own for the slightest breach of “purity”. Conservs face enough obstacles without piling on their supportersjust because their not perfect.
