Apparently Bill Bennett is not the only conservative unhappy with Glenn Beck’s CPAC speech. You can now throw in Mark Levin.
I have no idea what philosophy Glenn Beck is promoting. And neither does he. It’s incoherent. One day it’s populist, the next it’s libertarian bordering on anarchy, next it’s conservative but not really, etc. And to what end? I believe he has announced that he is no longer going to endorse candidates because our problems are bigger than politics. Well, of course, our problems are not easily dissected into categories, but to reject politics is to reject the manner in which we try to organize ourselves. This is as old as Plato and Aristotle. Why would conservatives choose to surrender the political battlefield to our adversaries — who are trashing this society –when we must retake it in order to preserve our society? Philosophy, politics, culture, family, etc., are all of one.
Moreover, when he does discuss politics, which, ironically, is often, how can he claim today that there is no difference between the two parties when, but for the Republicans in Congress, government-run health care, cap-and-trade, card check, and a long list of other disastrous policies would already be law?
The GOP is becoming more conservative thanks to the grass-roots movement and a political uprising across the country, which has even reached into New Jersey and Massachusetts. Why keep pretending otherwise? My only conclusion is that he is promoting a third party or some third way, which is counter-productive to defeating Obama and the Democrat Congress. These are perilous times and this kind of an approach will keep the statists in power for decades.
No Mr. Levin, Glenn is not promoting a third party. Apparently you and others have missed his whole point: SPENDING! I’d like to see the Republican party admit they had a problem, how about you?

I think what Glenn Beck wants and the rest of Americans who believe in the Constitution is to rid Washington DC of the astounding corruption and bring us back to a resemblance of our founding Fathers. We want honest politicians who will do the right thing for our country.
Right now, we are in deep DOO DOO and only our vote for good men and women will change DC.

Mr. Levin, a vote for an establishment Republican (RINO) is the same as a vote for a progressive democrat (i.e. communists). It's time to vote out establishment republicans AND progressive democrats. Only then will the spending level be brought down significantly.
