Title: Time for Glenn Beck to go far far away!
Post by: Libertas on March 21, 2016, 08:28:49 AM
What an embarrassing jackass!

Beck said that he, like many Mormons, believes in a prophecy that the Constitution will hang by a thread in the last days. He said he believes that now is that time, and people like Lee and Cruz will save it.

He also said the Book of Mormon was created as a guide on how to protect freedom in our day. At the Provo rally, many responded yelling, "I believe."

Wow, that's a heck of a prophecy there.

Wait...uhh...your guy is losing and unless ya'll tag-team things at the convention and nullify the primary results...looks like your mystical guidebook led down a dead end, eh?

And hey, if Mike Lee wanted to protect freedom...he could have tried harder on that score...and I do believe one of the Soros electronic voting machines is set up in Utah, so I'm sure that is going to work miracles for freedom...

And Ted, he could have told his honey-bunch to work for somebody else other than the Vampire Squid and cut the Establishment CFR ties, maybe defend folks back home on their ranches and border properties that are under constant assault, etc etc...

Yeah, champions and white horses...about as real as unicorns!

And Beck needs to shut up, seriously...he is really off his bean!

PS-Why didn't Ted denounce this?

Hell of an endorsement.

I'm not embarrassed to say that I was once a Beck fan. Once upon a time he had strong arguments, made a load of sense, and produced an entertaining show. I was often off-put by his fractured sense of history (he quite often got the facts intertwined and muddled) but I cut him slack.

At a point in time I realized that the reel was almost played out. Around the time when he left Fox he left reality as well. I simply couldn't give him any more than I had in good faith. And that's not speaking of all sordid drama queen in him.

"That's crazy talk!"

Everybody leans toward a bit of hyperbolic or exaggeration once in a while - I know that I do. But when it gets to the point where saying something sane is the exception and not the norm you know that there's a problem. I don't know if Beck is certifiable but if not he's damned close.

Pity.

He had promise as an educator for those with some sense left that could still be reached...

I don't know if he fell off the wagon, found a weird new wagon or needs an old wagon...but something happened and it wasn't good...

Same here.  I used to count myself a fan during the peak popularity of his show on Fox News.  But something started to bug me about him and that was his sort of ostentatious self-taught philosophizing.  Andrew Breitbart called him out on that as well, referring to him as a self-assured autodidact.  I have nothing at all against people who learn on their own, but Beck frequently demonstrated his Cliff Notes grasp of subjects while acting like he was now in the same league as genuine experts on those subjects.  I don't know, I just found myself feeling a sense of vicarious embarrassment.

I think he's a narcissist, and still has elements of the addictive personality -- now sublimated into Mormonism and his Gandhi Complex.  He lost me when he chucked Breitbart under the bus.  By the time he left Fox News I think he'd quite literally lost his mind as well.  Now he's just that weepy, Teddy-Bears-for-Illegal-Invader-Sprogs guy to me.

Well I knew somebody would articulate and enumerate the fall of Beck, good job G.  And good use of imagery, that "weepy" stuff (what 'Soup referred to as "sordid drama queen") and the narcissist Ghandi thing really nail it for me.

And what that bloated ego of his will not admit is all the compromises he has had to make in making the choices he has made...so he can take that holier-than-thou schtick and shove it up his arse!

Well, as Ronaldus Maximus was fond of saying...

"Well, there he goes again!"

Beck - "...all throughout the South the Evangelicals are not listening to their God."

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/03/new-crazy-beck-video-all-throughout-the-south-the-evangelicals-have-not-been-listening-to-their-god/ (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2016/03/new-crazy-beck-video-all-throughout-the-south-the-evangelicals-have-not-been-listening-to-their-god/)

Got that, Southerners?  Beck has called you out as wayward heathen!

This is going to backfire so bad it isn't going to be funny.  I don't know who this 13th tribe cultist's God is, but I am pretty sure for most of the non-Mormon population it isn't the same one that had Joe Smith hallucinating and hauling up a magic box filled with shiny stuff.

If Cruz wants to turn his campaign around the first thing he ought to do is tell Beck to shut up.

Bet it doesn't happen though.

I agree,  I really used to like him back in the day.  But he changed his rhetoric very quickly or abruptly.  I think the gov got to him and threatened his family.  I was encouraged when he started his own net work, but from what I have been reading lately, that is falling apart as well.  He comes up with a mysterious illness and then some months later is cured.  I have come to believe that this man has far too many issues and inconsistencies to be a conservative leader for me.  There are still times when I believe he is truthful and on the money with his analysis, other times not so much.  For me, I don't think I could follow his recommendation for President.  Seems like to me he is falling in with the establishment once again with his choice.

Yje breakdown was the following: Those that went to church every Sunday voted for Cruz and the ones that were raised that way but haven't been to church in uncounted years, voted for Frump er Trump.

Unfortunately, beck has been right far more than wrong and although I very seldom listen to him, he's still a refreshing change from the All Trump all the time, Rush, Hannity and and Savage. Levin gets it regarding Trump and what's been going on and I've been hearing him for quite some time.

I don't listen to most of those, either because I will not (Beck) or because I don't care to (Hannity, really Fox overall), only if I have the time (Rush) or because I don't get around to it much (Levin).  But as far as I can tell Levin only went ballistic (and ironically became a big hit with the Establishment and Prog-Media) a month or so ago when Trump lit into Bush in one of the debates.  Somebody can give me an update on more recent trends...if he advocates pulling the lever for Hillary instead of Trump and get to the rat-killin' I guess I haven't heard that, but I'd be interested to know.

Cruz & Bern won the Utah Soros machine vote, Trump & Hillary took AZ.

It's all over except for the convention, I am not even sure what or why we are talking about this anymore.

I posted a thread about how nuts Beck is, that his 13th tribe prophecy crap needs to end, it is hurting Cruz, not helping him...but his campaign is over, it doesn't matter at this point anyway.

IIRC, Levin got mad because Trump claimed GW Bush lied to get us into Iraq, not because Trump "lit into Bush".

Levin was open-minded about almost all of the R candidates in the beginning, even Trump, although his distaste for JEB was palpable.  As time went on, and each shot themselves in the foot, particularly Rubio, and then Trump went blundering around via his mouth, changing his positions and backtracking, he settled on Cruz -- and then recently endorsed him.

Post by: Libertas on March 23, 2016, 11:39:52 AM
That's it, that's what it was.  Probably got talking points from PaulBots on that one...they can be as Batshyt nuts as the Progs on that event....

And Cruz getting endorsed by Mark is no surprise to me, and if I didn't think the system was terminally corrupt and my own state's primary wasn't a non-binding caucus or an open-season cross-party screwfest...I probably would have suspended my eligibility principles and voted for Ted.

But in all honesty Ted does not translate well into this current climate, he is better in a calm setting where he can speak in a normal voice and have to time to answer in something longer than a 5-10 second sound bite...when Ted gets riled up or needs to talk over someone he really comes across shrill.  Not a deal breaker for me I'm just saying that's the way it is.  And one thing you have to say about Trump, he won't get shouted down, he won't back off or retreat, he is quick with one-liners and he's tapped into the stuff that pisses a lot of us off.

It is what it is.

But it doesn't matter, with all the normal cheating, lying, dead voters and corruption...we nowhave just about everybody running voting machines built by Soros, millions of new DemonRat voters streaming across the unguarded border (and those too stupid to not get caught being ordered released by the Dear Leader) and states like California letting illegals vote...and a bunch of monumentally stupid pubbies going along with the latter and not fighting Obama and the Dem's on ANYTHING...

It's hard to see how anybody nominated by anybody other than the DemonRats winning any election from now till streetlights are decorated...even a corrupt psychotic batty old twit like Hillary is a shoe-in.

#PrepareForIt!

See?  I told you so!

“All throughout the South the Evangelicals are not listening to their God,” Beck said at a rally in Utah on Monday.

“Beck’s wacko comment speaks for itself,” Jeffress tells Breitbart News.

“However, by using the phrase ‘their God’ to refer to the God we evangelical Christians worship, Beck is finally admitting that the true God of the Bible is different than the god of the Book of Mormon. I congratulate Beck for his honesty in differentiating between the two,” Jeffress adds.

“However, I am somewhat puzzled that Beck claims to know how the God Christians worship would vote in the Republican primaries.”

“Assuming that Mr. Beck is referring to evangelicals who vote for Trump, I would make a distinction that Beck does not: The Bible certainly offers principles on how to think about government and politics. The Bible does not, however, tell us which individual candidates to vote for,” Dr. Thomas S. Kidd, Distinguished Professor of History and Associate Director of the Institute for Studies of Religion at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, tells Breitbart News.

“If other Christians don’t vote for our preferred candidate, we should not say that they are not listening to God. None of us has special access to God’s opinions about candidates,” Kidd says.

“There are many reasons why devout Christians should hesitate to vote for Donald Trump, but God has not revealed Ted Cruz as the divinely anointed alternative, either,” Kidd concludes.

“Say what you want, but as a Southern Christian, I’m pretty sure my God doesn’t like politicians behaving like diamond pinky ring wearing TV preachers telling lies and trying to guilt people into donating their dollars to false causes,” Stephani Scruggs, a resident of Pensacola, Florida, posted on her Facebook page Tuesday. Scruggs says she is the former national co-chairman of the Glenn Beck inspired 9-12 Project.

“I have had a nagging concern about Cruz’s integrity. His association with Beck confirms this,” she says.

“Beck is not reticent about pushing his Mormon faith, which from an evangelical perspective is heretical. Apparently Cruz has no discomfort being called the fulfillment of a false prophecy,” she adds.

“The fact that evangelicals have not fully embraced Cruz but Mormons have is troubling to someone who voted for Cruz but now questions the decision,” Elizabeth concludes.

“Are we counting sins? Let’s see: Cruz has lied on multiple occasions, smeared Trump horribly, wasn’t tithing while making over $250,000,” he adds.

“I tuned Glenn Beck out a long time ago,” Martha, a Trump alternate delegate and focus group participant, tells Breitbart News. (Note: Two other participants in the focus groups ran as Cruz delegates in Tennessee.)

“I think he has issues and is in no position to determine who is or is not listening to anything or anyone, including God,” she adds.

“His hysterics do nothing but turn me off, whether it’s this or anything else,” she says of Beck.

What a complete asshole!

“No Christian, no real Christian – I don’t mean a judgmental Christian, I mean somebody who is living their faith – no real Christian says, ‘I want that guy, that guy is for me,’” he said during a broadcast of his radio show. "Nobody, nobody.” - Glenn "13th Tribe Prophet" Beck

His first round of stupid backfired spectacularly, now like an ego-maniacal DemoProg he keeps doubling-down on the stupendously stupid!  Yeah, demonizing and enraging people where there is no downstream benefit to do so is always wise, eh?  What a nut.  I'm embarrassed for Cruz, to have this fool out there talking out his ass?  I fail to see how this kind of crap is helpful at all, to Cruz, to conservative/liberty principles...anything?

It is just like the dogmatic drivel spouting from the mouths of mindless 7th century savages.

More proof the very concept of the ballot box is irrelevant, the only box that is going to matter soon is the cartridge box.

Plan accordingly.

Meanwhile, the False Prophet Beck can go outside and play hide and go f**k himself!

I don't see what there is to get upset over.  Haven't all of us here known for some time now that there's no voting our way out of this mess?  The culture is too corrupted and diseased to even be capable of yielding political solutions.  The value of Trump is that he's enough of a wild card that he may at the very least introduce new grit into the gears of the political mandarin class.

Trump has earned a degree of respect, if for nothing else, the fact that he dared point at the southern border and say it: "That is a problem"

He cemented his victory in the Republican primaries when he did that.  The GOP could have gotten out in front of that and made it their own issue if they'd wanted to, years ago in fact.  Instead all they did was give credence to the cliche criticisms of the GOP -- that they're lackeys of Big Business -- with their love affair with Amnesty, H1B visas, etc.

Seen it all along, just hard to think the republican party was THAT corrupt. It's not been too long ago the pubbies held the presidency and both houses. We see what they did with it. Nothing. Lip service. It's odd why the republicans allow ( what used to be) the core values of the party just get trampled. Compromised ( what used to be) our value system time and time again. They treat my values with total disregard, while sending me e mails, texts and facebook posts how they are fighting the good fight.

So we battle the sheer forces of evil in the democrat party while attempting to piecemeal together some semblance of a conservative movement, which is fought against on two fronts. At least I KNOW the libs hate me while the republican party treats me like a fool, which I find more distasteful than what I KNOW a lib thinks of me.

And there is wonderment as to why trump is popular? The guy is smart as hell and he understands what's going on. Frankly, he may be playing everyone and I suspect he is...to a point. I believe he is smart enough to know that if he doesn't follow through on at least the fiscal and safety issues facing this nation, he will go down as the biggest fraud in history. And while I know some who think he is so egotistical that he will not care, I think his ego could not take the rejection from an entire nation. But I've said it once so I'll say it again. Socially, we are gone. Lost. He will not help socially. If he builds a fence, ends some of the redundant programs in gov't, gives some power back to the states, lessens the debt, ends a bunch of the mountainous regulations while calling democrats all sorts of names....it is victory.

So enjoy the ride.

I also read yesterday that Mark Levin finally decided to announce that he will, after all, be voting for Trump.  I guess that's what you do when you lose the bulk of your audience over your NeverTrump tantrums for the past several months.

I will credit the Trump candidacy with one important thing even if it accomplishes nothing else: it has served as a branching point for the separation of factions within the larger "conservative" body, and in so doing exposed just how many people within it were not really on the side we thought they were.  It has also revealed that the smaller, but younger and more innovative Alt-Right is the strain of conservatism that actually knows how to do battle with the Left.  The viciousness of the "old guard" toward the Alt-Right is quite telling.  It tells me everything I need to know about why conservatives never seemed to be able to actually win anything, even when we managed to take control of entire branches of government.

The Alt-Right, I will not even call it conservative any more.  I think the term "restorationist" is more accurate.  It comes with the acceptance that restoring a constitutional republic premised on individual liberty is not something that can be achieved by going backwards against the current (which has been dominated by liberal thought for decades) but instead charting out new paths.

The GOP old guard is finished.  The lashing out from them is like Wile E. Coyote hanging in mid air over the cliff edge, all that remains is for them to look down and realize what gravity does.

I don't know if you've been listening to Levin for a while.  I have been and do.  Podcast every single night. 

He was never NeverTrump; he was and is p.o.'d over a few things about this election, one of them, ironically, that some of the so-called 'Conservative' NeverTrumpers were also virulently NeverCruz; that Trump's views on trade and the minimum wage mirrored those of Bernie Sanders; that Trump holds some favorable opinions about Putin and how he handles things; and his softening stance on illegal aliens.  And it drives him insane when people are willing to brush off or scramble around trying to defend Trump against (what Levin considers) the blatantly obvious, as in 'shades of Obama's willing dupes'.

Levin has always been vehemently NeverHillary, however.

I stopped listening to Beck some time ago, right around the time he and Cruz went to the border with teddy bears.  Which, come to think of it, Levin kinda never brought that up when Cruz was campaigning.

As for me and some of Trump's wavering positions and some of his foot-in-mouthisms, I don't care.  I cannot and will not brush 'em off nor try to defend him.  I just don't care because while the choice may not be binary for individuals, the choice for the country is binary.  It's either Clinton or Trump ...... and that's exactly where Levin came out as well.

Just wanted to clear the record.

To the rest of your post, I say "yes". 

Conservatism is dead, as dead as the GOPe, because it wasn't advanced because it wasn't ...... used ....... and because who the hell wants to conserve what we have now.  Not I. 

I've been reading alt-right sites for a while now but I haven't gotten a firm hold on the age cohort.  Fran Porretto is my age -- over 60 -- but I have no idea how many of us there are.  Are many younger/er?
Title: Re: Time for Glenn Beck to go far far away!
Post by: Libertas on September 09, 2016, 11:58:03 AM
I never believed any Never-Trump allegations against Levin...that's just pooh-tossers in the Never-Trump movement like that ponce beck running off at their mouth mischaracterizing ones legitimate criticisms (which should be fair for any candidate, right?) and spinning it as "he's one of us".  The main reason I believed this is because I believe Mark Levin is a sane and rational person, there is no way he would commit an act that would result in putting a spiteful mentally-impaired (even before her stroke/accident/whatever) Hillary Clinton in office.

I like Pan's term...binary...in the macro sense (the country) cannot long withstand a Hillary Clinton regime...that is the bottom line.

As to the Alt-Right cohort...I would suspect it is spread out but probably weighted more to younger than us...Glock being a younger fella for our community is probably smack in the middle of the demographic if I had to place a wager.  Would be interesting to see the data though.

I am happy to be corrected about Levin, because I always enjoyed his work before.  I haven't listened to him in a good while, since before the current election.  However I did read about him making the comment "I'm sorry, I simply cannot vote for Donald Trump" at some point on his show, and it seems like he made this comment even after the primaries were over.  Whatever the case, I certainly prefer having him onboard than off.

ETA - it was actually back in April:  http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016/04/08/levin-i-am-not-voting-for-donald-trump-count-me-as-never-trump/ (http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016/04/08/levin-i-am-not-voting-for-donald-trump-count-me-as-never-trump/)

Here's a recent Breitbart article covering Levin's about face on Trump: http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016/09/06/levin-im-going-to-vote-for-donald-trump/ (http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016/09/06/levin-im-going-to-vote-for-donald-trump/)

The comments at that article are where I got the impression Levin had been on a NeverTrump tirade.  I haven't listened to his show, so I don't know how much exaggeration is going on in the comments.  Hopefully he will devote himself to trashing Hillary from now to the election.

I'm reminded of how I lost all respect for Moonbattery.com.  That site was becoming tiresome before the convention, but when they continued with it even after Trump was the official nominee I lost all remaining respect.

The dickface of the #NeverTrump Establishment crowd surfaces again to make two stunningly incorrect and repulsive statements:

First lady Michelle Obama's speech this week slamming Donald Trump's comments about women was "the most effective political speech since Ronald Reagan," according to right-wing commentator Glenn Beck.

&

“There are people actually believing she is literally the devil. She’s not the devil. We survive,” Beck told Time Magazine earlier this month.

I agree. The loss of reputation and stature must be staggering to his ego. I can't help but think of the Howard Beale character from the movie "Network" when I see him. And y'all remember what happened to him when he became unprofitable? Sometimes disturbed can be inadvertently funny but depression and mental disorder is rarely entertaining - unless one is as messed us as he is.

About a dozen years ago I was in a band. We were doing pretty well and had a decent following. I got along with everyone in the band (even though they were all leftists and dopers). But over a period of time I started noticing issues with the bass player.

He was inconsistent, contradictory at times, and at times confrontational. It turns out that he was bipolar and self-medicating. We finally had to fire him after he had a huge blowup with other members of the group.

That was my first real interaction with someone who is bipolar.

IDK if Beck has been diagnosed but he acts bipolar. If so he has my sympathy. But he no longer has my ear. He has demonstrated the mental confusion and erratic behaviors of a crazy person and that has resulted in zero credibility for me.

I wish him well - from a safe distance of course.

We had a local politician turned pundit here who openly talked about their bipolar condition...it got to be stale after a time because it almost became a crutch and/or routine dig...but poor Beck could be in denial...he certainly is on a host of other things!
