I like Glenn. He did a whole series of rallies for America and I attended one here in VA. Sometime he grates a little but he is genuine and sincere. What I don't like about him is his "Democrats are no different than Republicans" silliness. One has to be absolutely brain dead not to know the differences between the parties even though the lines have blurred some on some issues. It is true both parties share well in guilt where corruption is concerned but when comparing spending, taxes, and social policy there is no comparison except for those who score low in the area of comprehension. All one has to do is compare the voting records something which is very easy to do online to see where the differences are. The Democrats alone proposed 400% more in ear marks over the past few years than their Republican counterparts. They tried to role back the work requirements for Welfare reform and have not missed an opportunity to slander and libel our military. Don't let the self styled ignorant curmudgeon get away with they are all the same. Yes they are all the same if you are retarded or blind and disabled. Even there it is clear that one party would have no qualms about killing off the less capable and disabled while supposedly fighting for the rights of the disabled.

It amazes me the level of hypocrisy the left gets away with. Do people really think they are more likely to fix health care? Does anyone believe that health care will be more affordable and of higher quality if it is turned over to government bureaucracy to run? Does anyone believe that raising the minimum wage is a solution to any poor or lower middle class individuals woes? The left is built on a belief in sunshine and lollipops for all if we only have more abortions, gay marriage, high taxes for the rich, and universal government run health care. The Republicans are certainly less than perfect but the left has no redeeming values.

It is they who are selling the "There is no difference in the parties!" BS that Beck spouts. During the election cycles they find semi-unknown people who will run against Republicans and they run to the right of the Republicans to blur the difference.

In the meantime they have mounted a steady drumbeat of how crooked and ineffective the Republicans are and demand "change." They lie, lie, lie, and then run phony polls to verify the lies. Then they say the lies are "What the American people believe."

As a result, we often get a narrow win for Democrats, just as this time. They then drop the pretense and show their far left colors and say their narrow victories are a mandate for their ideas, ideas they studiously avoided during the campaigns. If they truly proved anything it was that the ideas they pretended, conservative ideas, got a mandate.

Their entire existence, their ideas, their promises, are all lies!!! However, once they get power it doesn't matter to them, but it is very detrimental to us and freedom.

Good post....

I've heard him say that.....and it turns me off. Because I think that Glenn is smart enough to know that isn't the case....So, I'm forced to think that Glenn has compromised himself...for ratings & $$$$$$$$

Someone tell me I'm wrong.

I watched him for the first time last night. I did not catch any "Democrats are no different than Republicans" talk but when you think about it, maybe he's right. I think we have to stress conservatives over liberals, not Dems and Repubs. Did you catch Mark Levin the past two nights. A beautiful talk on the meanings and differences of conservatives and liberals. His main point - being a Dem or Repub is a political choice while being a conservative or liberal is a lifestyle choice.

Also, as Freepers, we should email our friends and family concerning this show - Exposed: The Extremist Agenda - tonight. Beck made a great point at the end of his program last night. He stated, America will see more programs like this if the ratings dictate it. I have already transmitted an email out asking people to watch this program and to spread the word.
