I gotta say finding GOD is a good thing for Glenn. Like so many X addicts, X Alcoholics, X Felons, X etc., he is on the right track, but I find it mighty arrogant of him to act like the rest of the United States has been walking blindly toward the burning pit. Not everyone, like Glenn, needed years of being in a drunken haze to convince them to turn to GOD.

Sorry Glenn, been there and still there so get back to being the satirist comedian you are good at and stay off the evangelistic trail. I am not buying it.

Do you ever have anything nice to say?

Yes I do. I am a born again non smoker so I never complain to people about their smoking as I understand that it is frowned upon to do that. But I still drink my bud light and don't want to be preached to by a born again juicer. No offense.

I will say that many people feel that born again X types are the most passionate about their newfound sobriety, but it is often short lived so I am always leery of folks that recently SAW THE LIGHT. No offense, just cautious.

Wasn't this part saying something nice? I gotta say finding GOD is a good thing for Glenn.

By the way, I would never take relationship counceling from Bill Clinton.

Lou - The nice things about television is that the remote has a button where you can change the channel. I suggest you use it and go back to MSNBC to hear the bs and hatred they spew on a daily basis.

Glenn Beck's entire position is historical. Jefferson, et al based the entire premise of the Constitution on rights given to man by God. Beck's position is we need to refocus on the founder's values if we want to survive as a Republic. It ISN'T about Glenn Beck. If you WATCH his very successful program that point would be painfully clear. If you do not watch his program you are missing something powerful.

You set the bar pretty high, huh?

Taking the approach of your choice (Bill Clinton), that depends on your definition of "over" and "any", right?

Because of what sista wrote (very important quote) and more so, how it is written (without trying to make me feel stupid), I again try to get my point across. I openly admit that in many of my previous posts I would say anything once I felt angered or insulted. This is what Beck does to me. Yes that is totally wrong to do. It may be my Italian side. I also use my hand when I talk. Makes typing very difficult. I am not opposed to what Glenn says or even Limbaugh as much as I am opposed to how present it. You say watch Beck’s program and I do. I would like him quite well, as I agree with much of what he says. It is with my eyes open seeing his smirks and childish way of acting when he is talking about or referring to the left that I feel is done only to infuriate both the right and the left. I DISAGREE MOST WITH THE WAY THEY TREAT THOSE THAT HAVE A DIFFERENT VIEW THAN THEIRS. It could be more civil.
It is purely theatrical and, in my opinion does one good thing and two bad things.
Bad:
1. Further separates left from right.
2. Further divides minority groups from white groups.
Good: 1. Increases his ratings.

A few months ago, I was called a *%*$ when I said I voted Republican all my life until Sarah came on the ballot and I jumped parties. It is true. Now understand, I still agree with 80 % or more of the GOP Platform and only about 40 % of the DEM Platform. 90% of MS NBC is biased to the Left. I like O’Rilley and what he says almost all the time. He truly is the closest thing to fair and balanced on Cable. BUT, when I see the way, Limbaugh and Beck present their view, it raises my blood pressure. It sounds like a junior high student trying to start a fight in the playground. Now bear with me. If the Right would agree with me that they could tone it down and say the very important statements they make with a little civility and maybe kindness rather than in a way that would make the left feel different rather than stupid, I would be jumping back.

I understand that if I agree with 80 % of GOP views and 40 % of DEM views it seems simple that I would vote GOP.

There are hundreds of thousands of otherwise Democrat’s that vote GOP because of only one issue. Some are 95% DEM and 5% GOP but vote GOP because they are pro-Life and feel the GOP will help their cause with that one issue. So, if you can at least admit that Beck, Sarah and Limbaugh drive people apart in the WAY THEY PRESENT and you will have my respect and an ear that will be open to listen.

This administration does more "to drive people apart" that Beck,Palin and Limbaugh combined.

Beck is very outspoken on the point that he abhors the far let progressives and their "transform America" agenda. If a Democrat or Republican progressive watches Beck's program they will surely feel attacked.

Bingo!! When one's prejudices are exposed, it can be a shock and with the shock can come anger at the one exposing it. Very nicely and succinctly said Sista; Bravo!!
