This morning, Mark went on the show with Imus on WABC.
That was a great interview. Oh, while I’m at it, Mark was also on Hannity’s radio show, yesterday. Here’s the audio of that, too!
Hat tip to Terry for sending me these great clips!

Great Interviews!
This will hopefully start to turn the tide of Obama fueled economic and social ignorance!
Have to get these interviews out for main stream media viewing!
How quickly would Mark Levin befriend Michael Savage if he became a host on WABC?
Didn’t take much to go from “I’m a wuss in the morning” to Imus.
Dann, there is a big difference between Imus and Weiner. Imus is not phony. He is what he is.
mlf, I understand. And believe me, I’ve been listening to MRL since his WABC days and bought three copies of Liberty and Tyranny. But you have to admit, it’s kind of hypocritical.
And if not, then you may want to remove “I’m a wuss in the morning” from the Lexicon page.
I don’t take requests from Weiner fans. LOL!
Michael Savage was a host on WABC
Now having said that… I’ve listened to Imus and Levin both for long enough to speculate on the change in attitude.
Levin, who I love as a brother, had been reacting to certain nutty things that Imus has said in the past. Sometimes Imus says dumb things. (duh) He’s been getting paid very handsomely for doing just that for many years. Like it or not, that’s what he gets paid for.
After the Media Matters attack on Imus, when he said something stupid about the Rutgers women’s basketball team, Levin would come to learn who the real John Donald Imus was. Imus handled his faux pas with great humility. A sincere face to face apology was issued with no excuses given. He did what was morally required and grew as a person from the experience. That speaks volumes to the man that Imus really is. Admittedly flawed, but not the bigot he was betrayed as by Media Matters, Sharpton, and the MSM. The MSM, spineless bastards, many of whom appeared on his show regularly, only to abandon him and stab him in the back while he was under a Stalinist attack by the left. Losers all.
I believe Mark saw the real Imus during this time. Levin can spot a phony from a mile away.
Therein lies the difference between the way that Imus was treated before, after, and why Mark has consistently treated Weiner as the phony that he is.
A Weiner by any other name is still a Weiner!
And most importantly, Imus has learned who has his back.
Levin throws shots at people who he disagrees with. Just because he knocks the balls off of people like Arlen Spectacle one day, then applauds him for the one time he did “the right thing” another day doesn’t make him a hypocrite.
Dennis Miller adores Mark and had a superb interview with him. I turned it into a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRtAvG2-ii4
I’m not an Imus fan even though I go back to his imitation of Billy Sol Hargus, the whacked out evangelist (ultimately a prophetic and accurate description of the racist Reverend Jackson) and his blow up doll. To me he is a lightweight guy who interviews some interesting guests but with barely the gusto of Larry King. I don’t expect him to give them nosebleeds but neither do I care to be the guy with the handkerchief to help clot my own as he allows them to get away with gross misrepresentations. He is simply not sufficiently knowledgeable and that is the strongest motivation as to why I listen to talk radio. Personally I would rather listen to educations tapes, an iPod recording, Sirius 144 or the new “Apple†on 970.
On the other had I admire Don Imus for what he does for pediatric oncology and the good times he provides for these kids on his ranch. There isn’t a Conservative I know who did not defend him from the phony Sharpton attacks that were promulgated by the Clinton camp (now the Obama camp) for payback on how he treated their 2nd best choice Obama alternative. Imus got that right. I am thankful that WABC hired him because he has a good following and is worlds better than the sophist puke, Ron Kube; he was the right replacement, at the right time for the right timeslot. Moreover WABC had the guts to hire the guy when he was down and out and wrongly stigmatized as a racist and that says a lot about them.
Imus is not a phony, never was a racist, is a patriot and has greatly matured but he needs to listen to ML more often to get his facts right and so that he can conduct a better interview.
Exactly for what and when would they place Weiner on WABC? Perhaps in the late, late evening or the wee AM hours where he could discuss illusions and delusions of the 3rd mind interspaced with recipes of paranormal food types.
To understand how insignificant Weiner is in relation to ML imagine if he wrote yet another book (I believe he wrote many) that he offered at only two signings. How imaginable would it be that fourteen thousand people, many who would travel hundreds and even thousands of miles, would quietly wait in the cold and rain and yet still feel good about not even getting the signed copy that was the purpose of their endeavor? People are looking for fact filled, intelligent references and not odd metaphoric, romantic hyperbole based upon the mental meanderings and wanderings of a wanabe. At least Imus understands his limitations and stays within safe parameters. You don’t go where ML does unless you damn well understand and can articulate what you write and talk about. People know that… hence fourteen thousand people were happy to be cold and wet. People realize that they don’t need to listen to the ravings of a false prophet who lurks around the edges of the facts he clumsily attempts to intelligibly represent because the real thing, the real teacher, can be listened to by simply changing the radio dial and that is what they all now do.
If you want to feel good, feel free to delude yourself and listen to Weiner. If you want to feel good, and make the other side look bad, listen to ML to get educated and armed by the best educational resource available and you don’t have to pay a dime for the tuition because it’s free.
I agree that Weiner would probably appeal to the tin foil hat wearing crowd.
Weiner Nation was carried on WABC from 7-9 PM weekdays. In June of 2003, Weiner was dropped from WABC when he got into a contract dispute with WABC’s sister station KSFO in San Francisco.
At that time, what would be one of the greatest voices in talk radio history was moved from his Sunday show slot to cover the vacancy created by Weiner.
That man has held the time slot ever since, consistently scoring #1 ratings in the biggest radio market in the country. This show became nationally syndicated in February of 2006, growing exponentially across the nation as the fastest growing syndication ever.
Most recently, this radio show was expanded from two hours to three, satisfying the demands of listeners who just couldn’t get enough of the man.
Have you figured it out yet? This show that replaced Weiner Nation almost six years ago is killing him in the ratings wherever they are competing in the same time slot.
That show is The Mark Levin Show.
Now you know… the rest of the story.
Whine much? I’ve never listened to Imus or Weiner. Just funny that it went from I’m a wuss to his dear friend Imus.
I have to agree with task though, what he does on his ranch is noble. Firefighter4bush is right too, perhaps it was Imus that had an epiphany and not Mark.
According to wikipedia. Books written by the Weiner:
What a genius! If I ever need nutritional advice, maybe I’ll tune him in. NOT!
And it gives me no end of pleasure to know the other side is also listening to ML, their nemesis, in fear and trepidation as they hear the potent truth and facts of talk free radio reach out to a nation hungry for the arms they need to dispel the myths and falsehoods propagated by the devious, disingenuous moon bats disguised as the media.
Yes indeed task. I love the way he gets under their skin!

The Taster’s Guide to Beer: Brews and Breweries of the World might just be a very important read. The bottom line is Imus and Mark are on the same team so there has to be some harmony. I wonder how different things would be if Glenn Beck were on WABC.
On that note Glen Beck and O’Reilly are also on the same team (FOX) and, yes, there may be harmony (disguised?), but there is also disagreement because O’Reilly can’t tell the difference between naturally acquired unalienable freedoms and an anchovy. At least Beck fairly accurately plagiarizes what he learns from ML but O’Reilly in his attempt to be fair and balanced is neither and comes off as just plain wrong. Weiner is more frequently wrong than O’Reilly, who is not far behind, while ML is consistently right. Imus has long been a nasty comedian and that is his signature but no one takes his political commentary, including himself, seriously. He does not set himself up as a critical expert. The guests on Imus could often get me mad but Weiner and O’Reilly, themselves, really piss me off.
BTW, beers and brews have changed and expanded remarkably since 1977 while freedoms and liberty, even though their distribution has been reduced, can never change. The principles behind our Constitution and ML’s explanations, in his recent book, are simply timeless.
I find beer and brews to be a comfort in these troubling times.
(Long Island Pete says:)
“I wonder how different things would be if Glenn Beck were on WABC.”
I have to jump in here to say something. I’ve been listening to Glenn Beck for several years now, and like TGO, I can spot a phony a mile away, and Glenn Beck is no phony. Neither is he a backbencher, imho, and if Mark truly believes that he is, I think that’s only because he doesn’t really know very much about him or how he does his show.
As was pointed out in one of the threads on the forum that discussed Glenn Beck, most conservative talk show hosts deal with the topics of the day, and so it stands to reason that many of them, being conservatives who believe in the same basic principles, are oftentimes going to say many of the same things on any given day. It’s just the law of averages, and doesn’t mean that Beck is stealing ideas from Mark. I honestly believe that Beck’s mind is never at rest, and is always working on the next tv segment or the next big story to investigate, etc. He has no need to resort to plagierism. Again, just my humble opinion about someone I have come to respect.
An online gentleman friend of mine who lives in Tennessee has a lawyer nephew who left a great job with an excellent law firm to work for Glenn Beck doing research full time. He loves working for him, and he is only one of several people who do this. Beck does his best to get things right, and is without a doubt, one of the good guys. He’s doing what he’s doing for all of the right reasons. Trust me.
Furthermore, it would be my guess that if Mark Levin and Glenn Beck worked together, and had occasion to get to know one another, they would each come to like and respect one another very much. I truly believe that. I am one of Mark’s earliest and biggest supporters, and appreciate his brilliance, his sincerity, his humor, his patriotism and his overall goodness. I just wish there weren’t any negativity, even a little bit, between two men who should be brothers-in-arms.
Trinity,
LIP is on Beck’s side. He likes him as his several past posts testify to. You are right in that Beck, being a conservative host, speaks about the same things as other conservative hosts. ML probably would like him after meeting him. However some of Beck’s stuff is clearly taken from ML. I don’t blame him. Imitation is the greatest flattery. I think the problem relates to how some backbenchers say “I’m the first”.
I listened to Beck when he was a relatively unknown in Florida. He and Mark are on the same page and little by little Beck is getting more solid. He never had ML’s early experiences and long “time on task” and is therefore still learning. He is a very good host.
Beck is a newcomer by his own admission and that is why he seems so passionate. That is what happens when you get on board and support a logical, intelligent, compassionate philosophy that works and that type of passion is infectious. It is at the root of ML’s success. I like Beck but Levin has largely replaced who I listen to because I trust his Constitutional comprehension. He has the credentials. If I had more time each day I might listen to both. I never listen to Weiner and sometimes listen to O’Reilly at 11:00, at the behest of my wife, but I simple can’t take the man.
Personally I have been a conservative for a long time and the more I listen to people the clearer it is becoming that they are learning fast and are becoming happy with how empowered they have become. And I am happy with whomever correctly contributes to their education.
trinity, do you know who does Mark’s research for him full time?
I have an idea, it is Mark Levin. Right? Nobody has a better grasp of the Constitution, the law, and how changes in laws by libs will ultimately affect us than Mark Levin, hands down.
slickwillyman, you are correct! Nobody does Mark’s research for him. That would be silly to even imagine. Mark does it all himself.
Hi guys! I’ll respond to our dear webmaster first.
Yes, MLF. Of course I am aware that TGO has nobody else doing research for him, that he does it all for himself, in addition to holding down his full-time job at the Landmark Foundation and various other demands on his time that he has. He balances all that with being a fantastic family man. Yes. It’s all true. He’s completely amazing, and his brilliance is unparalleled. He’s one of a kind.
I have an 8 X 10 picture of him hanging right here on the wall left of the computer. It’s of him with Debbie, Hugh and myself, taken at that golf outing dinner in NJ a few years ago and I had him sign it for me at the Rewound Cruise. It says: “To Jackie, Thank you for your support. I’m very grateful. Warm regards, Mark 6/8/07″ It’s one of my most treasured possessions. And you have to know that I love the man dearly, right?
And task. I just used LIP’s comment to initiate the discussion, but yes, I had the definite impression that Pete likes Glenn Beck. I guess I just wanted to go on record as someone who really likes Beck and who respects him as well, and to see him sometimes put in the same category as a Weiner, for instance, does tend to upset me a bit. That’s all.
It’s for certain that Mark Levin’s impressive resume is like no one elses. He’s been driving the conservative message all his life, and has worked with many of the greats. All that in contrast to Glenn Beck, who by his own definition was at one point in his life a complete scumbag.
In any case, he’s a different man today, and he’s been wildly successful and is quite brilliant in his own way. Because of his ADD/ADHD he could never do it all on his own, so he depends on a fairly large staff to do all the fact checking for him. I didn’t say that for any reason other than to try to impress upon everyone how badly he wants to get it right.
I probably should have responded on the forum thread, where one of our members was repeatedly calling Beck a loser. She could not be more mistaken about him. I don’t know why I let that bother me, but it did. I guess because after several years of being a listener to his program, including when he broadcast out of Philly, (I’m in PA) I have gotten to “know” what the guy is like, and he’s a self-educated and very sincere man who loves his country as much as the rest of us do, which is the only reason he has not already retired to a farm in some unknown and remote region of this country. In fact, if the death threats against him and other security issues continue to increase, he may eventually have to do that.
That is something that O’Reilly has gotten right. Those left-wing loony web sites are full of vile haters wishing physical harm to whomever they disagree with.
Beck’s mother was an alcoholic who committed suicide and somewhere within his own deranged life style he had an epiphany. So did Romney and many others such as Reagan who was once a dedicated union man and a democratic. If I were a little younger and less mature in the conservative movement I might spend more time listening to him but much of what he talks about I learned years ago. I will say that he clearly elucidated the credit crisis and bank failures well in advance of national recognition. In fact, last year during January and February, while on a protracted vacation in Florida I listened to him in the AM and was fascinated over his extraordinary comprehension of some of the underlying causes regarding the bank failures. At that time I was watching hundreds of banks in terrible trouble and never understood how it was largely unreported by the national media. This is not what I do for a living and it reminded me of a financial 911 where we exercised a sort of willful blindness. Beck to his credit got it right and kept the dialogue interesting. ML is somewhat of a different experience. He is an advanced class and I suspect that Beck will provide a stepping-stone up towards Mark. It will not be the way around but ultimately both of their audiences are certain to experience monumental growth and will always share many of the same listeners.
You’re right, task. Beck was way ahead of the curve on economic issues, and took a lot of heat for some of the warnings that he issued re: where we were headed. I’m not sure how, but he seems to have really extraordinary access to a good number of “deepthroats”, who may not permit him to use their name when they give him insider information, but who do help him to be ahead of many others with his analysis.
And yes, as Glenn has often mentioned, his epiphany came after he found his alcoholic self curled up on the floor in a fetal position, just wanting to die. I think most of us believe in redemption, and I’m glad that he made the choice to start his life over again.
Again, he and Mark are both very different in so many ways, but in the one important way, in the way that counts, they are both extremely valuable assets to our conservative cause/movement. Beck reaches a lot of people also, through not only his radio show, but through his tv show, his website, his magazine, his daily on-line newsletter, and his We Surround Them and 9-12 Project initiatives which are helping concerned Americans to network so we can better organize ourselves for events like the tea parties etc.
trinity, I must remind you that it was Mark that called Beck a backbencher, not the people on this site. If you want to be upset with Mark, you may do so. But, I highly doubt Mark would call him that if he didn’t have just cause. Don’t you?
I realize that, MLF. I’m just stating my opinion that I don’t believe that Glenn monitors Mark’s show any more than I believe that Mark monitors Glenn’s. They are both way too busy doing their own shows for that. At least that’s how I see it. I could be wrong.
More likely, somebody said something to Mark about Glenn, and all I’m saying is that that person just may have been mistaken about the issue. Things are not always what they seem to be.
I know I’ve read news directly from on-line sources and commented to my husband Phil about it, and then heard Rush or someone else discuss that same topic and make the same observations that I had. Now I know that Rush had no way of knowing what I said, before he said it, right?
And Good Lord, I am not upset with Mark whatsoever. All I’m saying is that we are all on the same patriotic team, regardless of what station or network we’re on, or which shows we listen to or watch on tv. Of course, competition being what it is, all hosts work in their little side comments from time to time. As I said, I had more of an issue with the woman on the forum who called Glenn a loser, and I probably should have made my comments there as it would have been more appropriate. If I come across the thread, I may still do that.
…and it’s Mark’s opinion that Beck is a backbencher. Also, it’s the woman on the forum’s opinion that Beck is a loser. Everyone has there opinions! LOL!
Well how the hell can I argue with that? lol I’ll only add that some opinions are more informed than others,depending upon how well a person knows the subject matter. I’m betting that the woman who called Beck a loser is not exactly a regular listen and/or viewer of his. If she were, she might think differently. That being said, she’s welcome to her half-baked opinion.
With regard to TGO, the next time I’m in a position to have a conversation with him, I’ll ask him about Beck myself.
Beyond that, MLF, I will give you the last word, since it’s your website and I don’t want you to ban me.
Just read this comment thread, and I agree with you,trinity, on most everything you’ve stated.
What bothers me is when conservatives (whether show hosts or us folks) argue about the unimportant things. Who cares who said what, when? I mean, heck. One could argue that Mark is the one who takes his cues from other show hosts. He is, after all, the one on in the evening.
Look, I’m just saying. Don’t start a new flame war. But if he wants to make the argument about backbenchers, he’s going to have to come up with specifics about subject and date/time.
But frankly, I couldn’t care less. I just want the Constitutional, capitalist, conservative message to be spread far and wide, to as many ears as it possibly can. Isn’t that what most of us who listen to and support Levin want? Goodness sake, our very country is at stake!
I will say that Savage is *the one* [so called?] conservative I have refused to listen to anymore, because he refers to Rush as “Hush Bimbo”. To me, that’s extremely offensive and uncalled for. I don’t know what transpired between them, but probably something similar to why Mark and Mike are at odds. When I look at the “common denominator” I have to give Savage the thumbs down.
With the drastic course that Obama is putting us on, all Conservatives should work together to stop this ego-maniac from destroying America and defeat the Democrats in 2010.
However, at this time, when the Republican party is in a struggle for leadership, we need a leader that is a Purist Conservative. In my opinion, Beck is a good guy and espouses Conservative principles most of the time but he sometimes articulates populist sentiment. He speaks of the “Left” and the “Right” as if most of us (including himself) are in the middle. This is NOT true. Today, the media and government is so far to the left that “Right-Wing” is simply mainstream conservatism. I get annoyed with Beck and especially O-Reilly talking about the “Left” and the “Right” because it puts Conservatism on an equal “extreme” with far-left statists. There is not one tenet of Conservatism that any normal American would disagree with. To talk of the “left” and the “right” and say “why can’t we all just get along”, as Beck sometimes opines in a populist way, aids the liberal cause because it implies a pseudo-equivalence of left-wing anarchy to Conservatism and shifts America one more step towards the left.
With Mark Levin, there is NEVER an unclear, vague, or pandering to the left statement. He is ALL CONSERVATIVE, ALL of the time. That’s why we are all his biggest fans. He is true to Conservatism. He is consistent and rock solid. Nothing less than this can be tolerated in the Republican leadership. Does the left tolerate Conservatism? Then why should we tolerate liberals?
Slickwillyman,
You have it right. With Beck it is a struggle. Levin always gets it right. Beck has improved but he has a way to go before he can be counted upon. It is about parties. Republicans can’t be trusted but Democrats consistently always get it wrong. There is no element of conservatism within the democrat party; they are an odd mixture of fascists, communists and socialists and they need to be described accordingly.
Mo K, I don’t think anyone is very much interested in wasting any more time on documenting who discussed which topic first. I agree with you that it’s not important, and I subscribe to President Reagan’s motto: “There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn’t mind who gets the credit.” I think that says it all, and I believe that both Mark and Glenn are true patriots who deep down inside agree with that also.
“He speaks of the “Left†and the “Right†as if most of us (including himself) are in the middle. This is NOT true. Today, the media and government is so far to the left that “Right-Wing†is simply mainstream conservatism.”
Slickwillyman, I understand exactly what you are saying, and I agree with. Yes, the media and the Dems in leadership positions are very far left, as are many others in their party. And you’re right, the Left considers all of us mainstream conservatives to be far right wingnuts, which is patently false and utterly ridiculous.
I know Glenn realizes all that as well. When he talks about not letting this be about Democrats or Republicans, he is talking about average Americans, and what he is trying to point out is that both parties have been taking us down the same dismal track, albeit one train a local, and the other an express. They have pitted us against one another in a partisan war, when in reality, many of us truly are somewhere in the middle.
Some of these people may be registered Democrats because their families have historically voted that way, or because they are union workers, or because they registered that way when they were in college and now vote Democrat out of habit. A lot of Americans are just simply apolitical because they are too damned busy just trying to hold down jobs and raise their families. They may not be paying all that much attention to politics. But we are all Americans, and most of us want only what’s best for our country. And I do think that most of these people in their own lives are right of center. They just aren’t informed enough to understand how bad the Democrats have been for our country.
I am definitely on the same page as you guys are. We need a pure ideological conservative as our next candidate. No more RINOs will do. Again, in the words of Reagan, “a banner of bold colors — no pale pastels”. If we can’t get that right, there is no hope.
All of the above descriptions, that I provide in my previous post, can be characterized as some form of collectivism but after reading ML’s recent book this collection of statists should be seen to represent who they collectively are… today’s democrat party.
What drives me over the top is not just the number of republicans or conservatives that want to change core concepts but, even if they correctly identify with core principles, many never ascribe blame to the right party. When I hear it is not about ‘democrat or republican’, or ‘right vs. left’, but only about ‘good vs. evil’ it is just as infuriating as if they missed the whole point. If you identify Chris Dodd or Barney Frank as being wrong you have to look at their values and the values embodied by their party leaders, Obama, Pelosi and Reed because they represent the modern democrat party. When history describes Hitler, the NAZI party is not a separate entity, and when they describe Mussolini fascism takes almost as much blame and when they describe Stalin and Lenin the Communist party often takes an even larger blame. Yet despite this, whenever we describe individual democrats and their statist philosophies somehow the party remains immune; republicans and conservatives are always crucified from the perspective of party philosophy. Even if it is not made to appear this way, as currently is the case with S. Pain, critique has its basis in her party affiliation and then events are doctored to support what otherwise couldn’t be substantiated. Just look at the NY Slimes review of ML’s book. It was all about the ‘conservative author’ and not the contents that achieved exactly the purpose that the author had in mind and that he supported with significant documentation and references each step of the way. An Academy award winner is judged based only upon a specific performance and never about any other aspect of their life.
Most of us realize that “liberal†is a stolen word implying a definition that more correctly describes conservatives and their values than any current democrat. I never really got on Glenn Beck’s case because I see him as an emerging conservative moving in the right direction, but it is clear to me that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin are the big names that do not separate democrats from their party. Good democrats, like Reagan and Jeane Kirkpatrick, left the party. And it was the prominent democrat, Al Smith, who stated that the policies of FDR brought the party close to policies of Lenin and Stalin and away from Jefferson, so he also left the party never to return. You simply cannot separate democrats from the party of statists, and just talk about good and evil, and not make the connection.
When G.W. Bush used the term “compassionate conservative†it disturbed me to no end. Not only have we had to deal with the misuse of the word ‘liberal’, but then he added to the erroneous idea that liberalism is compassionate and conservatism has to be tweaked to get up to speed. Consequently when I deal with people I find it more effective to challenge their concepts by using their own language. People wish to improve their lives and make money so I often ask them if they wish to be a ‘liberal capitalist’ or a ‘liberal socialist’? As I get them to admit that they think the opportunity to compete in a fair and open market is a good idea I explain that capitalism opens the door and removes restrains, so it is very liberal, while socialism constrains opportunities and makes it more difficult to compete. Then I point out that using ‘liberal’ as an adjective to describe socialism has to be an inappropriate use of the word in the context of what socialism actually does and creates. Moreover the ultimate ends of socialists, after they create a hostile economic environment, is to then steal the products of the risk takers and distribute them to those who vote for them. How can that possibly relate to definitions of compassion or liberal and where does such authority come from?
You cannot be ashamed of conservatism in any way. You cannot be satisfied with anonymity. You cannot be satisfied with sitting this one out. Liberals and the democrat party, which is filled with statists, are the ones that should be on the defensive. Most of us wish to be free and also wish to allow others to live so. Anyone that gets in the way of freedom and liberty deserves our best efforts to prevent them from achieving that goal and that includes ferreting out, not only the guilty, but also the organizations, parties and affiliations that harbor them.
(task says)
“Yet despite this, whenever we describe individual democrats and their statist philosophies somehow the party remains immune;”
So true, task, and it’s extremely frustrating. But then, what can we expect when we’ve allowed progressives over the decades to practically take over everything? They’ve positioned themselves and their radical ideology to dominate in our schools and universities, in the media, in civil service, in the movie industry, etc.
We’ve been too complacent, for too long, and they’ve gotten a big head start on conservatives. They’ve partially succeeded in hijacking our nation, and we need to reverse this trend and begin to educate Americans regarding the Constitution and what it means to live in a sovereign nation. Most have no clue what that means.
Thank God for our conservative talk show hosts, Fox News, and the internet. All of these forms of media are beginning to have a positive effect, which is why the Left is so afraid of us. We need to redouble our efforts to take back our country.
RINO’s. Republican progressives, Repubics and moderates are a direct result of the pushers in the democratic party that sell the public bills laden with free stuff that cause those that are weakly tethered to conservative principles to break loose from their moorings and become populist politicians. Some people, such as ML and others, are so lashed to core principle that they will never be run adrift no matter what storm they encounter. When you were a kid remember how people, and even friends, would ask you to try cigarettes and drugs and rather than to be unpopular some did. Then we have wives that are needy for societies trappings as they whisper into their husband’s ears to go softly and ease up. We lose Supreme Justices that way. The beltway is a toxic environment where even your own family sometimes tests you.
It is no accident that people, in certain regions, think and vote the same way. It is not just that birds of a feather flock together, it is more that birdbrains that flock together often start to think together to remain members of the flock.
I always said that if we had a dozen or so great American Bands, such as Chicago, that supported patriotism instead of the holdover peace activism of the sixties, we would sway the youth and win the vote. This is reality but it never boded well with me as being generically intelligent because the vote should be won on education, ideology and a sound understanding of how we got here, whom we are and where we are going and not on misplaced reactionary nationalism that has both spawned freedom and destroyed it. When you start thinking correctly you search out the philosophers and teachers that history has bestowed upon us and they then seem to magically appear.
The Presidents job (all the branches) is stewardship of the Constitution and when they make a move they need to remain within its parameters but you can do almost nothing when power is lopsided and one side stands down and the other, as a victor, acts without restraints. Morality and civil order, based upon the rights of man, is the stuff that gives life and value to our Constitution. Without those it is just a beautiful document with no teeth and while we may not have physical anarchy we do have civil anarchy whereby a society is governed by power, money and prestige and not upon the unalienable rights of man. That is why, for those that understand what is currently happening, these times are so difficult to endure.
Very eloquently said, task. We have to understand who we are as Americans and know what we believe in, because this is going to be some hell of a fight coming up.
