I had previously authored a vanity piece on this topic, hoping that I might have been overreacting or misinterpreting Glenn, but the recent antics are the final nail in the coffin.
Glenn Beck has actually moved closer to Robert Sarvis' politics than those of any conservative I know. Just wait till he starts pushing eco-crap.
No, better to just load up a compilation of Alex Jones and Michael Savage's greatest hits. That will essentially give you Glenn Beck, minus the left wing turn. I'd post links to the content I refer to, but I wouldn't want to drive more traffic to him. It's easily locatable if needed.
And just so I don't get accused of being a blog pimp by Humblegunner, I have included the post in its entirety here, so people know that this guy's 'project' has been taken over by collaborators.

I guess he has come a long way since his “Don’t make me shoot this cat” kind of antics on the radio.
I wonder how many subscribers they lost with his “stand with GLAAD”?
Yes! Remember when Glenn was going blind? It was like reading a Little Orphan Annie comic strip.
I guess I missed that. What was Beck's stance on GLAAD?
On gay issues, like Russia, Glenn Beck said he will “stand with GLAAD”
gB....GAY BLADE.
It pisses me off too. I don't know why he felt he should say anything at all in her favor, but he did. He obviously has his reasons. Perhaps it was an attempt to extend an olive branch to the left in some strategic way - I really don't know.
All I know is what I have seen him accomplish over the last few years has been positive, even though I don't always agree with his methods, words, or even his deeds on occasion. I canceled my subscription three times, but in it for the long haul now.
That one interview with the woman who had a change of heart about having an abortion more than made up for all of the times he has pissed me off.
Seriously? Gads. I guess he really has gone full libtardarian.
Note to Glenn: even though you are caving around the edges I still think you will come to your senses one day, also THEY still hate you so this little cave in isn't buying you any favor with those miscreants on the left. Ms Cupp is nice to look at but a lib on almost EVERY social issue.
But later on he just got to be all over the map and emotional to a degree I found it hard to listen. So stopped and haven't gone back. I never did learn why he left Fox, but I suspect he has some medical issues that when he goes off his meds he may very well be difficult to work with. I think he mentioned he was bi-polar or something to that affect.
You aren’t going to end legal marriage in America, so why waste time talking about it in our time of crisis when we need to fight a political battle to preserve America?
In 1790-1890-1990- you could always have whatever kind of “marriage” you wanted with your partner, but to be legal, it had to conform to law.
In 1780 and 1794, and 1798, etc, when the feds were passing federal law on marriage benefits, they had to recognize your marriage as legal, it couldn’t just be whatever you wanted it to be.
Actually it could be, but it wasn’t legal.
If you don’t care if your marriage is recognized by government and the courts and law, then do what you want.
I think I sort of got turned off to Beck by his talk radio show. It was just downright kooky. When he started the show at Fox, I’d already begun to form an opinion about him, and it wasn’t all that good.
Mostly, I just read what others had to say about him here, and some of the things he had in print. I never watched a single episode of his TV show.
I didn’t hear his radio show until he was on Fox TV News. But even then he was hard to follow....which is why I liked the chalkboard...even if you lost him you “saw” the connections and where they were leading.
What else turned me off was when he started referencing his Mormon Doctrines, very subtle too, so if one wasn’t familiar with them you’d not know you were hearing Mormon doctrine.
That really angered me because he used visual as well in that manner. So I really stopped altogether then.
disregarding the religious vow aspect, from a government law perspective its origins is as procreation of family line contract ...that's why adultery and consummation the sexual acts factor into it...
I misread your earlier post.
It was actually saying something different than what I thought.
Maybe some libertarian will read the post I mistakenly posted to yours.
A libertarian says you can do what you want as long as it hurts no one else, but homosexuality hurts America. Read Leviticus 18: 22. God will "vomit" us out of the land He gave us if we allow sexual abomination here. That affects me and mine. Many libertarians believe abortion is a woman's choice. It is murder, pure and simple. She doesn't have the right any more than I would have the right to kill all the Jews or murder blacks, just because I felt like it. Many libertarian ideas, I still hold, but to lose my moral compass for some false principled ideal, no can do.
Our Founders were conservatives, not libertarians as some would suggest. Many were ministers and even the so called lay person knew the Bible better than most preachers today. Our system was borne out of the Bible. Most libertarians aren't even Christians. God gives us plenty of rules and libertarians don't want ANY. The "new" movement in TV libertarians is a fad that will pass. It lures you in and then reality put it to the test and it WILL fail, as always. Republicans welcome them in, but then put them in the corner, like Rand Paul. Rand will not get more than 15% in the primaries. Beck is a man that woke up after alcohol and is searching for truth. He's close, but no cigar.
....” Beck is a man that woke up after alcohol,He’s close, but no cigar.”.....
Which is in part his problem that gets in the way of his retaining a convincing thought at times. HE’s close enough to Christianity to grasp what it is, but unwilling to let go of that which helped him overcome his alcoholism. Until he does he’ll remain a confused man uncertain of what he believes.
Beck is simply nutty
And no one drink the MLK DAY koolaid more than he
I’ll pass
I think he means well
Remember...like Krauthammer he was lib till middle middle age
That is indicative of a non serious Conservative
This is the way it went with Michael Smerconish, a one-time Philly “conservative” talk radio guy. Slowly, he went leftward, with one embarrasing liberal stand after another.
Long story short, he lost his Philly gig only to wind up at MSNBC as a full fledged liberal.
