You can add Dennis Prager and Brit Hume to the list of conservative fans of Bummer’s speech. Larry Elder, on the other hand, completely dissected the event and especially Bummer’s discordant performance as the travesty it was.
You three need to bone-up on how to tell the difference between platitudes and meaningful insight.
I like Beck. I admire Beck. I've listened to him a bit and often enough to know that he himself is prone to confuse platitudes and insight. Maybe he really did think Obama was presidential. The dolt.
Spot on!
They were there to intimidate Governor Brewer and those citizens of Arizona who support her efforts re: immigration.
IMO Obama is soft selling the public because if the public is going to rebel against his agenda, and him ,it will be in his timing. So of course that means the media are going to get their “marching orders” prior to any speeches, regardless of the reason he’s speaking. Thus we see it all playing out by those under his thumb.
It is no secret the country is divided....as it should be at this time when our country is being driven into the dirt. There are those who want and believe in all the distinctions which make a country soverign unto itself..... Then their are those who are drinking the “Universalists, Globalists” koolaid...all in the name of a ‘false’ conception of “Peace” among nations....and it’s poppycock!
There was a time when a great man once said...”Choose this day who you will serve”.... Our country is divided because we are fighting against an evil which if it takes hold completely, and this thru our current administration, then we will never again rise to the place we have so long known.
I will not stand by and watch the distinctions about the USA be driven away from us. We have borders, we have lands, and we have a people who love freedom...and the last I saw these are still under God. All which are worthy of being protected....and if this administration refuses to do so... I will none-the-less.
Some have no discernment between the two...might be a “feel good” mentality going on there. The speech “got to them”...”moved them”...which only proves they are vulnerable to being mislead. Some peoples emotions dictate where they will stand...so their mind will follow whatever they feel at any given moment.
You and me both. Sorry, but I'm not feeling the love.
Yes, even on Free Republic.
Very well said! Every word so true and so obvious to most thinking, caring human beings.
Sorta going to bat on the wrong team a lot on this thread aint ya?
If someone says they saw it on the damn t-shirt and you didn’t actaully see one, then what’s to nit pick about?
Those threads about Eric Fuller needs some help for the other side, check em out.
It may also mean that the speech was loaded with post-hypnotic suggestions as a follow up to the NLP groundwork laid during the 2008 campaign.
Knowing that Obama uses NLP and hypnotic techniques in his speeches, I simply turn the channel when I find him on...so I can't say that I have analyzed his speech from Tucson. That said, he has relied on NLP before and the effects of the Tucson speech were precisely what someone would expect of hypnosis (i.e. Koolaid drinking). For evidence, one need look no further than the new Obama converts on this very thread.
Interesting comment TK. Yes, I suspect they do. Cyberspace style no less!
If it's anything like the first one they did pre-election 2008, it'll be a total waste of time; and most likely will be anyway. BOR disgusted me with his pompous demeanor; Nobama disgusted me with his pompous demeanor as well.
Speaking of which, if this wasn't a campaign rally, why was she BOOOED? You don't booo people at a funeral. For me this was the tell tale moment. You might be able to give lame excuses for t shirts, and other junk, but the boooing. Boooing has no place at a memorial service.
That was no memorial, it was a stump speech.
Without reservation, I love Glenn Beck and his courage in exposing so much administration corruption. But, sometimes I wonder if he doesn’t have a self-destructive streak. To give this anti-American Marxist credit for brilliance, patriotism and sensitivity just days after he had praised the vile Sheriff Dupenik displays addle-brained, bizarre pandering. Bob
from a clown who though right more often than not thinks MLK is a conservative and Teddy Roosevelt was the Devil Incarnate
I’ll pass , thanks anyhow
with all due respect to JR and the Fresno lads, threads like this prove once again that FR is not all that culturally conservative sadly and though the average freeper is more informed than the average voter they are still not up to speed and strive to give what they percieve as the right answer..the only that will not get them in trouble.
Conservatism is about one thing.
Truth..whether God given or empirical.
Well stated....I agrée.
