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.
Your husband is correct. For example, my 22 year old son and his friends LOVE Glenn Beck. Then again, so do I.
As for Mark Levin.....gotta love him, too. They’re both awesome spokesmen for the cause of freedom in America, albeit they use very, very different “voices”.
God bless ‘em both....and Rush, Sean, et al....for all they do. I’ll take the whole lot of them, and then some. All bring something unique to this critical national discussion; all have contributed mightily to this deep, national soul-searching we are currently experiencing.
To Mark, Rush, and others on the airwaves: Just remember that Beck has his weekday TV show (as does Sean Hannity, by the way), and by default that ensures he gets more attention. We’re still a very “visual” society, and the ability to add an hour every weekday to three hours on the radio each day is awfully powerful in terms of public exposure.
