Watch it here:
I really don't care for either of these commentators. I don't listen or watch either of their shows. With that said, they are vital for attracting an audience that needs their opinions. The squishy middle. Like my 77 year old mom. They are getting to a lot of people who "don't get it". Mark Levin is THE best conservative commentator, but he's beyond what those two offer to the newbies and generic audience. Honestly, I'm glad they're doing this job. We need to bring everyone into the meaning of the constitution. They found a market, and hopefully those watchers will graduate to more conservative constitutional outlets.
Kind of like "darn," eh? Or "heck?"
hey, I’ll take it. We need every voice we can get to scream it from the rooftops. THIS IS A COMMUNIST COUP!
People mean well, but they wind up looking rather lame when they make some claims. I don’t mean Albalon Wilde, as he did look it up. But the one you mention, that one sounds bogus.
Some battles are better left unfought, because it makes you look loopy so that when something important comes along, you’re opinion is discounted.
I have always been interested in the meaning of words. I read NR cover to cover from age 14(1968)
Yes, Americans are not taught to think independently. We like our sports and the good life. When we see that our country is being run by people who hate America and do not mind if we as a country are bankrupt, 55% of us catch on and are not happy. Hopefully, that will be enough to make a difference.
I suspect it has always been the case that a large number of Americans have been uninvolved and either incapable or unprepared to deal with complex and critically important issues.
One of the things that seems different from the past though, is that liberals are much more bold in lying. I post on a site with a number of liberals, and some are just blatant and unrepentant liars. And I don't mean they just say something I don't like or disagree with, they write things that are demonstrably false.
From your mouth to God's ears! I pray the truth will all be out in the open soon!
You are absolutely, unequivocally correct. I think it started in the 80s but in 1991 I realised something was terribly wrong and we had a propaganda organ instead of news when Bill Clinton's ethical problems were not reported. However, Bob Dole's saying cigarettes were not addictive was harped upon for days, etc.
I’ve never read one cover to cover, and I didn’t really hear much about it until I was in my mid-to late thirties. Good for you. It is a good magazine, if you’re actually referring to (national review). If not, I’m sorry I missed to connection.
Yes NR, when it was in its heyday.(1968-2000)Buckley was young and full of vim & vigor. He hired only the best writers, and guests, eg Malcolm Muggeridge, Russell Kirk, and James Burnham.
I guess since I am a independent thinker then I have come to the conclusion that I don’t agree with everything everyone says myself. I have formed or am forming my own opinions on a wide variety of topics including the Obama birth certificate issue.
Therefore, I can say that I don’t always agree with everything being said including by BOR and Beck. But I tend to like Beck and watch him on a regular basis. Sometimes I record overnight the show or during its live broadcast and other times watch it on youtube.
I see however as BOR being different than Beck. BOR has made the decision to be independent and as such he has gone the route of people like Lou Dobbs. Beck, to me, is more of a Conservative-Libertarian hybrid. he comes at things for a different angle than BOR and his show is a different format than BOR.
While BOR likes to have opposing views on, expect for doofus Massa, Beck does most of the talking and he bring on people who back him up and who know History. Generally speaking as each show is different.
Personally I think we would get a different flavor if Michelle Malkin had a tv show of her own. Of which, I think she never got to do what she wanted when three years ago she would fill in for BOR.
In my mind, I think MM is on of the best voices out there. But again, I don’t agree with her on everything either.
Very insightful!
Everyone! Please read post #28.
Thank you.
