You know what? I don’t care what his religion is. He really understands the Constitution, the founding principles of our country, and LOVES THEM. And he’s willing to fight for them, and bring as many people along for the ride as possible.

I wish him every success - not only with his show, but even more so, in his efforts to bring our country back to its founding principles.

I’ve started listening to XM as well, and I am very impressed by young Andrew Wilcow. He’s part of the next generation of smart, courageous, funny, absolutely unapologetic conservatives.

His Soviet-style Obama Messiah theme is a work of brilliance. Even more interesting was the fact he couldn’t get any of his usual singers-for-hire to record it. His dad found a few of his buddies, I think.

Conservatives are looking for a leader who is NOT afraid of the truth. And would sacrifice all that he has for the love of country. Glenn Beck is far from being a politician(he doesn’t lie). But we need someone with principles and God knows he has those and a pair to go with them.

I’m with you 100% (or 110% if I were a member of ACORN). I was just trying to point out that some on this forum can’t look past his religion to get to the meat of his content. I love America, he loves America, and true conservatives must band together to preserve Her!

We aren’t Black, White, Male, Female, Mormon, or Catholic. We are American. And because we’re American, we get to be what we want.

I'm not a big fan of Mormonism as a religion, but if someone were drowning, they would be downright glad to see a couple of Mormon missionaries appear and pull them out. Know something else? They would do it every time.

Most Mormons are pretty good people. I doubt we would be screeching with daily fright if Congress was all Mormon, although Harry Reid would have to be excommunicated to not be a minority of one with his socialist, wacky nonsense.

Glenn just told me today (AM 600, IIRC) that a large part of the problem was '8 years of Republican rule.' Sorry, Glenn, but Republicans were a majority in the US Congress for only 4 of those 8 years. And if you think Mr. Bush actually acted like a 'Republican' during his 8 years in office (compared to Mr. Reagan, for instance), then I suggest that you review a little American history.

Simple option: get yourself an almanac...

Bobo was a dog he ‘created’ for the radio show. He talked about killing Bobo and had listeners really believing he was going to put Bobo down. The called in to beg him not to. At the end, he explained Bobo was fictional and tied all of it in to the Terri Schaivo case. Very effective at getting across his point.

“Yeah, but IMO this is a very big reason that the “American, God-Loving people” are hated so”

Well, we were inspired by God, but I don’t think you have to wear your religion on your sleeve to use an old expression. I personally prefer people who walk the walk and instead of talk the talk. You do better to live by example than tell everyone else how to live. In other words be one don’t tell me how good a one you are. Those that want to change the Constitution to their taste, even whe the Constitution is silent on the subject, are in my opinion failures at convincing people that they are right and want to force their ways on others. We should do everything we can to convince people to do the right thing but if they fail God will be their judge not us. At some point you just have to pray for people or you become what we have been fighting. NOW FOR THE ATTACKS.

The only problem that I can see is that many of the original 13 are the worst of the lot.

A sure measure of Glen Beck’s value is the way he makes liberal heads explode!

Occasionally when I’m feeling bloody minded I go wade through the sewer over at DU just to see what offal the gators are regurgitating....

Beck drives them nuts right up there with Limbaugh and Hannity.

"I understand and loyalty is great, too, but it was a lib guest...Kristin, I think, who threw FR in his face and he was embarrassed because he didn’t even know about us.

While you are right, he was critical of FR, he at least allowed a rep of FR to come on his show and defend the site."


"Bill O'Reilly Smears Free Republic"

This is the attack I was talking about. I saw the followup and Bill was STILL labeling FR as a 'hate site'--now if he ever changes his mind and publicly apologizes to Kristinn AND FR, well, then he can add me back to his viewing audience.

As I said, he has since defended FR as not being anywhere in the same league as the Daily Kos, but no, he hasn’t gotten on his knees to ask for your forgiveness. Enjoy your grudge.

LOL! Did I do something in your Post Toasties today?
Sorry, if so!

Look, I didn’t say Bill was the worst of the worst. It’s kind of like making brownies with a little bit of cat poop in it, less than a gram—nothing, really, but if I know about it, I don’t care how good the rest of it is, I’m sure not gonna eat it and say, hey, it’s just a little bit of cat poop!

A matter of principle, really, not a grudge. Bill can keep saving the whales or whatever he’s done, that’s cool.
