I have been on this site for about 3 years or so. I listen and learn from Beck, Hannity, Limbaugh, Levine and so many more. I, like most of you, have taken valuable time from my family to help preserve freedom. I have gone to (band played) NUMEROUS Tea parties, been to NUMEROUS town halls, Called and emailed Senators, Congressmen both in state and federal. Been to 9-12 meetings, handed out brochures and battled local government over school agendas. I have received hate mail, threats and have lost sleep... all the while finding time to work and spend time with my family while putting 3 kids through private school. I come to this site to be around like mined people who understand freedom and the hard work we all put in. Then I see posts about Hannity, Beck, Etc anytime they say something we do not agree with? Which is rare, but we seem to lament and focus on this instead of the task at hand... preserving freedom. People, we need to understand we will NEVER agree 100% with ANYONE... it ain't going to happen....Not even with our best friends. So why do we expect it from them? However as Ben Franklin stated "We either [clearly] hang together or we [clearly] hang alone.." Sorry for the rant, but I know all the time me and my family put towards this effort and the last thing we need right now is to fight amongst ourselves.... We either preserve FREEDOM together with accepting slight differences or we let freedom slip away while we argue. I promise not lose my children's freedom on MY watch... I do not want to be known as the generation that lost the world's last chance for freedom. You are either for freedom or you are not... what will it be?
Agreed! It doesn't take any real bravery to savagely attack others anonymously. Personally, I'm sick of it.
“It doesn’t take any real bravery to savagely attack others anonymously. “
Very well put!!!
Just curious, is there anyone out in the country(on or off radio) that has your approval?
“Not everyone is right for ?running for office?
I agree. And they do serve a purpose, but I just don’t take them too seriously.
As you can see from a lot of the posts above, there is a large degree of jealousy, and not a small amount of outright stupidity, in most of the critics.
We all have agendas of our own. Our country is great because we have a capitalist, free society allowing us to fulfill our self-interests mainly by serving others.
The adage,"if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" would be better than needlessly trashing a fellow American conservative. They are merely trying their best to serve their country and fellow citizen. I've been guilty of the needless attacks myself but I've decided the stakes are too large to nitpick the honorable actions of others. I now appreciate the efforts of others. We share the same basic goals.
Amen!! That’s exactly the POINT!!!
And there are those...that just want to tweek your nose...and see if it get's your goat.
As for me....I will continue to call them how I see them.
The only people that will cause the death of the Conservative movement..are those that want TOTAL control, or unity. You ain't gonna get that. Freedom is like that....it's hard to keep.
I don’t care what the talking heads say or do and I don’t care one way or another about those who disagree with them or are rabid followers.
The one thing I do have to say about all the commentators mentioned though: they love the United States.
Compare them with the liberal commentators who despise the United States with a passion.
Defeating those traitors is more important to me than ideological purity.
So do I. Making sure you like all the right people and hero worship is like yaknow so highschool.
It's always fun to schooled by those who really just want to shout down a different opinion
Wow, you completely misunderstood my post. Oh well.
True; but that's the beauty of anonymity. Few people are willing to passionately argue with acquaintances, friends or family regarding controversial issues. That's why most people mutually avoid certain hot issues when they differ. There's a reason for the cliche about "no politics or religion" discussed at parties.
Yes. His name is LTC. Lakin.
Shouldn't you and your so-called 'Conservative' radio gods be asking Obama that question?
These would be the pompous pontificating sanctimonious self rightousists who demand Christ like perfection as they carelessly throw stones at everything that moves.
Call a spade a spade. The conservatives voices are quiet or silent. Not a good thing. The ones there now need to be shaken up a bit. I am in Texas. Sen Croyn (R). is currently involved in the Alaska primary, regarding the senatorial race and he is not doing a good thing. MO Anytime the politicians subvert the will of the people and attempt tp control the outcome, I do not agree and believe they are likely corrupted.
No one desires that they do well and get out another message than Obama’s more than I do. they can not seem to do it. Many are very much of the John McCain ilk. MO
It's kind of hard to get too vocal when you realize your microphone is permanently off, thanks to the RAT media.
How do you propose they communicate?
That is the point, how is it that it is like they are swallowed by a black hole. They can appear on CSPAN Paul King or is it Ryan King used CSPAN effectively during the health care bill process.
It is their job, they know better than I, what is effective.
Little or nothing is not acceptable.
