Are You A “Becker?”

Elective Decisions ^ | 02/22/10 | Chris Davis

Do you feel the incessant need to blame Republicans for all the evil in the world? Do you breakdown into fits of crocodile tears? Do you constantly say that America must be unified to defeat Democrats when we’re already unified against the liberal agenda? Do you feel that a third party will solve all of America’s ills? If you’ve answered yes to any of the above questions, then you’re likely a “Becker.”

There’s an old saying about taking flak & being over the target. The GOP needs to stop running on at the mouth & decide that fighting the growth of socialism is job one . And to be blunt I don’t see it happening with the current party leadership.

>> I agree; his “elite snob” imitation is a direct shot at Joe Klein.

I love his mocking of Joe Klein <<

Oh really, you are just one of those little people who knows no better how truly intelligent and enlightened Professor Klein is, Harumph!

Beck has never promoted a “third party” and I suspect that saying so is a lame attempt to divert attention from his message and the ground swell of involvement we suddenly see from the American public in what is going on in their government.

It would be a travesty to allow this wonderful movement of Americans who proclaim that they are weary of the partisanship, weary of the finger pointing and grandstanding and want simply for America to be the great and wonderful dream that our forefathers dreamed and died for to slide into oblivion over some inflated egos.

My fear with regard to the Tea Party movement was that it would attempt to become a “party” with all the negatives that come with that connotation. The Tea Party is a philosophy. The movement is a group of people that have come together in support of that philosophy to rescue what is left of our great nation. To let it become another “party”, ponderous with bureaucracy, in-fighting, and egos that the current two parties allow to bog them down will stop the movement in its tracks.

Thanks, TruthHound. Great picture. Thanks for posting it. LOL!

[writer33]

Another great picture. Thanks for posting, TruthHound.

Am I still on the ping list? :/

[writer33]

Without Beck the Tea Party Movement might not be as strong as it is, and certainly not as well-informed. If that makes me a “Becker”

So that means that Rush, Levin and Hannity are not informing people. That's why I'm a dittohead, I've been Hannitized and Levinitized. I do, however, absolutely agree that Republicans should be held accountable, but now we're to the point that they're listening to the American people, and the bashing needs to stop.

[writer33]

And what are you a Republicrat Koolaider?

I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

[writer33]

I am generally a cheer leader for anybody who is putting their shoulder to the wheel of conservatism and whom I consider and feel to be sincere in their efforts. Glenn Beck is no exception for me. He is doing an invaluable job of educating and informing Americans who have a need to know the background of the people and forces that are so openly subverting our government. Glenn has unique talents and abilities which help him to convey his message to an audience that might not otherwise be exposed to this vital survival information. There is no need to have an either, or, choice of conservative messengers. There are a number of approaches to educating US citizens about their government and as long as the messengers are headed in the right pro American direction and their goal is a free America, most will have my support. I appreciate that FOX has given Glenn the forum to reach the American public with his educational format. I also take this opportunity to thank Glenn Beck for his work on behalf of this country, he is doing a great job.

Nicely put. Even though I may disagree with you, well stated and reasonable. Thank you.

[writer33]

Of course you’re still on the ping list. Just because we’re not holding hands and singing Kumbaya doesn’t mean you’re off the ping list. LOL!

[swarthyguy]

Beck does have his moments.

I was a little harsh.

[newfreep]

Left-wingers are very good about chnaging names to present a more postive image. But in the end, it's all the same...

Homosexual>>Gay>>Lesbian>>Transgender

Marxist>>Communist>>Socialist>>Progressive>>Liberal>>Progressive

[trisham]

Whew. Thanks. :)

[writer33]

Just start practicing Kumbaya in case. LOL!

[writer33]

Thanks for posting that great picture, Red Badger. I appreciate it.

[trisham]

We sang that at camp. Oy.

[writer33]

Are you a Bennut?

Nope. I'm a dittohead, I've been Hannitized and Levinitized, but I'm not a "Becker."

[marron]

A Buckley thread wouldn’t attract as many fireworks...

You pushed one of my buttons mentioning Buckley. I really do miss that guy. There was a time when he was really all there was “standing athwart history”. Compared to then, we have a wealth of pundits coming in all flavors that simply didn’t exist back then.

I remember watching him debate people, taking them apart and turning them inside out, and doing it all with that slightly amused smile of his. There is really no one like him on the scene now.

[writer33]

Beck = Snake Oil Salesman.

Levin, Hannity and Limbaugh are patriots, spreading the truth of conservatism far longer than this scam artist.

[writer33]

I always thought he was imitating Thurston Howell, III.

I think he's imitating a Snake Oil Salesman.
