Glenn Beck is not mentally stable. Anyone failing to see this is suffering a self-imposed delusion.

If Mr. Beck can form a rational thought, and in that thought he seriously fears socialism, then he should also know that by contrast alone he is doing more to promote it than anyone other than Baugh.

Our government has been taken over by the unwashed masses and bleeding heart liberals. and.. much as I love Shep.. he has always been viewed at our house as a weeensie bit liberal.. in disguise... but.. Conservatives of all stripes are worrrrried about losing the America we grew up in... forever. Hooray for Beck even if he is a weeeensie bit dramatic. What is going on at FOX is “tough love”..

It's scary to people like you, so you resort to calling them names and marginalizing them. Is that the best you've got? I guess if you don't have any better ideas, you have to rely on tearing others down. You call that a career? So tell me David, what are you doing to help this country get back on track?......That's what I thought: you're not doing anything.

And that’s what is going on at Fox News.

Anyone that has friends or know people that listen to fox know that they are the same homogenous group of people over 40 white who never watch CNN or MSNBC. They just keep it on that same channel and have it as background noise as if it is comfort music. It makes them feel good that someone thinks like them. However, it is a small group of people 4-6 million that watch it or listen to talk radio. They are a vocal group but they have had their day. The conservative era is over. The reason the other networks have lower rating is that liberal or progressives watch a lot of different things and we get news from the internet also. Ronald Reagan is dead, you guys have hijacked the GOP it used to be a progressive party now its just a mean party with a brunch of people you would not to go to a party with. When I look at the GOP I think of Canada, you would think that the US is only made up of only white people. So you guys are going to lose for the next 10 to 15 years until you get your act together and stop letting that 4-6 million people speak for the rest of you. Same old crowd.

Mainly because they/you are always telling us (the real working class conservatives) that we must control ourselves, everything will be ok. Well, the way things are going EVERYTHING WILL NOT BE OK. We have entrusted those in Washington to watch out for our best interests, which they most decidedly are not doing. You should look out over the landscape. There is a reason why Beck is kicking butt and taking names on a cable network and in the 5:00 time slot no less. So, rather than bash Beck and Fox News, maybe, just maybe all you country club, snooty, RINO's had better take notes and learn a thing or two. We are watching and organizing. If the GOP keeps this up, they will be TOTALLY IRRELEVANT in 2012 and beyond. I am so sick and tired of those who consider themselves the “voice” of the conservative movement.

Mon, 23 Mar 2009 22:59:04 +0000 #comment-50799 I only watched Glenn Beck when he was on his CNN Headline News program. When he moved to Fox, I stopped watching. From what I'm hearing all the seeds of Beck's worst aspects are now sprouting (if not in full bloom). He needs to check his impulses...(but then that would probably not appeal to the heads of FOX "news" who seem to enjoy the breathless, hysterical, unhinged rantings of "commentators.")

Meaning, I'd gladly join a Republican party that is to the left of the Democratic party, which I really don't see as being all that left wing at all. We could even call ourselves Conservative. It's not like the words have any meaning, anyhow. The conservatives in Australia call themselves Liberals. And every governing philosophy of American Conservatives has met with abject failure when employed within the real world. Like communism, the success of free-market capitalism depends on the laws of physics being different from what they really are. It's all garbage. Do what works, and if it doesn't work, try a different way. This is very simple problem solving.
