My husband says he’s attracting young people to conservatism. Beck isn’t for me, either is Hannity. But, I believe, their purpose is to attract people to conservatism, so, in that respect, go for it. But, us true blue conservatives must help our kids along this path and guide them to our founding. IMO, there are too many who have jumped on this bandwagon. We just need to bring them up to speed once they’ve been introduced to the ‘generic’ message.

Although I continue to call Mark Levin “The Great One” I disagree with him here. I think there is a place for Glenn Beck’s particular style and message and no, I do not think he’s pushing a third party.

Beck is calling out liberal Republicans and he’s right to do so. The fact that Levin has done so for years is beside the point. The fact is, Beck is reaching more people that Levin and whether or not I think that’s a good thing is irrelevant. It is what it is. Beck is a big booming voice right now and on balance our nation is better off with that voice than without it.

Would Levin feel better if Beck were somehow silenced? Does he think that would be a net plus for our country?

Can’t listen to Glenn. I only listen to Mark L and King Dude.

Beck is stealing Mark’s work as his own, without credit.

Okay, libertarian one day, conservative another, and anarchic another day. Can we at least credit Beck for not being liberal, not even a RINO? I think the big tent concept is foolish when it comes to including liberals posing as conservatives, but, that said, there is certainly room both in the philosophy and under the tent for someone like Glenn Beck.

I would want to be a lot more circumspect about who we choose to fight, and much prefer to expend the energy fighting liberals and their drivel.

I agree with Levin that Beck doesn’t know what philosophy he is spouting. This is a positive for Beck in my book because he is simply asking pertinent questions and seeing where they lead. From this a new philosophy may spring. This is an interesting process.

Mark went on to say just that; this is not about him or Beck.

The problem is not that Beck claims to have been the lone voice out crying in the wilderness but that if you follow him, watch out for the cliff he’ll lead you off.

Beck is in this for one reason: Beck.

why preach such a strategy when conservatism is on the rise and the GOP is acting more responsibly?

The heart of the issue.

>>Well, Mitt Romney won it three times, and how did that turn out?<<

I guess we have the working definition of “Dumb” (Romney) vs. “Insane” (ru paul).

For example, in this story he credit’s the GOP with having slowed down the the Demoncrat’s agenda when, in fact, it was the American People who accomplished that.

Well yeah. Of course. The people, Republican voters, who supported the Republicans representatives who threw up the roadblocks. Not the Republicans who whined and cried and said there was (is) no difference between the parties. Not the Republicans who ape the "everybody does it" liberal talking point. Not the Republicans who, whenever liberals do anything, cry: "and the spineless Republicans will do nothing".

I have to agree with you.

Also, Mark says “the GOP is becoming more conservative...” but I haven’t seen any signs of that.

Beck doesn’t make the allowance for Conservatives fighting within the Republican Party. Sure there is Progressivism in both parties, but the ideology between the Republican and Democrat Parties are opposites. Yet, Beck lumps the two together. His thinking is so murky.

Mark is correct....but then again Levin endorsed Romney during the primaries...so I’m not sure what he’s smoking sometimes either.

I don't think that Beck is trying to start a third party. He seems to be aimed more towards 'cleansing' the Republicans of the progressive element. True he didn't spend much time bashing Reid, Obama, et al , but do you really think that that crowd was wondering about the merits of the current bunch in power? When you read, listen, or watch Beck, you must always remember that it's the progressives that he counts as enemy number one. The fact that this stripe goes through both parties to greater or lesser degrees give rise to his disdain for both.

Just my $.02, ymmv

But the good news is that neither of them ended up being the presidential candidate. That was my point.

Beware of Romney, he’s fooled a lot of people. Pawlenty is in that same camp.

Beck is insulting to the conservative movement.
