Well, since you think it bears repeating, I must correct myself. “Former” should be “latter” in the original post. Here is the corrected version:
This IS THE NUTSHELL of Levin’s political issue with Beck. He doesnt believe that the latter should be promoting himself as the leader or instigator of the Tea Party Movement, nor should he take any credit for its successes.
Levin has here expressed concern that this potential self-ordained “leader” may not have a cohesive political/philosophical policy with which to lead the Tea Party. And that is a valid concern.
Arriving late, and started with the last post - yours.
Are you saying that Beck has declared himself the leader of the Tea Party Movement?
Levin has here expressed concern that this potential self-ordained leader may not have a cohesive political/philosophical policy with which to lead the Tea Party. And that is a valid concern.
Excellent point, and I note the "self-ordained".
One might consider the term "grandiosity" as linked to alcoholism, as well as the mormon belief that all "ordained into the mormon priesthood" males consider themselves to be "gods in the making".
Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from everlasting to everlasting because they have all power, and the angels are subject unto them

Beck has done some work that is admirable, however one must not overlook the forces driving him and wonder what is his eventual personal goal. One must also look into those for whom he has expressed great admiration, such as Cleon Skousen.
