Then as Republicans you would stop watching and Fox would lose millions of dollars in revenue and would cease to exist. Therefore, most of what you see on Fox News you will agree with if you're Republican. The same goes for the liberal media. Do you agree with said theory? Of not, why? Thanks.

I agree with some of what he says, but not everything. He's still a neo-con to me even if he started flirting with libertarianism lately

Republicans don't have that option. All they should say is 'amen'. Fox News can easily cut down any dissent and ruin the career of any Republican that voices opinions contrary to Beck (and Fox).

Beck bashes Republicans too. I see the OP is severely misinformed.

And this is a surprise to you? Of course! If Beck moved to the left he would lose viewers. Just as if Rachel Maddow moved to the right she would lose viewers. It isnt rocket science or some kind of enlightening idea. People like to watch shows that back up and show their viewpoints. It is supply and demand. Very simple stuff here.

Not all Glenn Beck supporters are Republicans. Many like myself are independent conservatives. I would vote for a Democrat if he was more conservative than the GOP man. I will go for the third party if neither are conservative. I could care less about political party. Parties only care about the good of the party. Neither party cares about the people so why should I care about the parties?

I've always been a conservative Democrat but ever since Barry betrayed his campaign promises (if he wanted government to be so transparent, then audit the Fed!) I can't trust any Democrats ever again. I don't like the Republicans either because they are for big government as well but they are the lesser of the two evils IMO. We need more REAL Tea Party people, not fake ones. And I hate how Beck, Dick Armey, and Sarah Palin wrap themselves in the Tea Party banner, when they are scummy neo-cons themselves. I've listened to Alex Jones's show sometimes, and compare it to Glenn Beck and it seems Beck is taking a page out of AJ's show and Judge Napolitano's as well. If you want an independent conservative commentator, listen to Michael Savage. He's ostracized from Fox News and the Republican Party because he's outspoken against the entire political establishment

All Glenn is doing is spreading Mormon theology...most of what he says comes straight from mormonism....the other day he was talking about native americans and he inferred that they could have descended from Israel....straight LDS babble.

Glenn Beck, like all other partisans in the mass media, have studiously avoided the 800 pound gorilla in the living room.

What gorilla?

The law.

I've sent many an email to him (read by his staff, no doubt), correcting his many gaffs with respect to the law on the books.

Whether you're right or left wing, the law is the law.

And what he and all others have not dared to whisper ...

Well, if you're interested, http://www.city-data.com/forum/13981309-post25.html
I won't waste CD's bandwidth repeating the same message, over and over.

Or read this thread:
Both wings of the same vulture
Or this:
http://www.city-data.com/forum/13762240-post116.html

What is law?
"All law is the protection of property rights, all else is policy, and policy requires consent."

Or as the Declaration of Independence puts it:
Job #1 = secure rights, and
Job #2 = govern those who consent.

Caveat. Consent waives job #1.
When you've surrendered your property rights, all that remains is policy - more commonly known as government by opinion polls, popularity contests, and legalized bribery.
