See, I think you guys would agree with him, but the big difference between him and Beck is his consistency and hard constitutional stance on matters both foreign (the wars) and domestic (the patriot act). A true champion of the constitution and of liberty doesn't give an inch.

The founding fathers had differing views on the constitution. There is no duplicity here.

Obama offered no change from Bush's policies, yet it is clear that Glenn attacks Obama because he is labeled a liberal democrat. He will drop the word "globalist" here and there, but, according to you smurf, dismiss the bildeberg meetings as BS. There is a disturbing dissonance and lack of consistency.

I can't stand the guy. He's a hardcore liar and in it for the money and attention. Pure narcissist. Interestingly, my brother who up until recently tossed away all of my conspiratorial thoughts as nonsense is now listening to the guy. He thinks this guy is an honest patriot. I don't know how it worked out that my older brother is that much dumber than I. I always thought the oldest son was usually the brightest out the bunch.

Ahhh another one sees the truth and the light. Sounds like a good man this brother of yours.

Beck respects Nepolitanos opinion to the point that he speaks at Beck events. Think they have a huge difference in opinion? Nope, they dont.
They work together to meet the same goals for America. Let me give you an example. Lets take Obama and his cabal. They regard the constitution as a flawed document of negative rights and are hell bent on its destruction. With that said not all of them are going to be on the same page about how to do it are they? Probably not, but they all seek its destruction.
So I can see any differences in opinion as natural.
You resorting to recycling arguments from a few pages back with regard to Beck and Bush. Go back and read my post ( with transcripts I might add ). Beck made his break with supporting Bush long before the 2008 election and it was over the border. My previous posts explained it quite succinctly.
You've made it perfectly clear that you are a big supporter of this whole Bildeberg conspiracy theory and have been harping on and on about it for days now. Hey, you can believe in it, no one is stopping you. I happen to think you are a NUT for doing so. If you going to believe in these whack job conspiracy theories you're going to have to stop being so thin skinned.

Wow...I think I am satisfied. You have been completely backed into a corner of denial, mitigation and honestly, a lack of critical thought. Really, how can I post audio of a private meeting? Did you think that through? You don't want to look into it because you would be proven wrong about its existence.
That video is still irrelevant by the way. How are you so disconnected from reality?
www.glennbeck.com...
Here he talking with Ron Paul "Oh yeah I was wrong bla bla bla"...I can see through it and see his struggle to maintain a pro-war view for the listeners. Can you?
Like I said, you trust him and I don't. That is the big difference...just so you know here are my views, I bet they are not too far off from you're own/becks.
we should abolish the federal reserve and go back to a gold standard or other commodity.
we should end the drug war
we should protect the borders
we should bring our troops home and focus on defense
we should drastically reduce the size of the federal government
we should get of all laws not rooted in the constitution
Does the above sound right to you? See, Glenn tries to align himself to those views...but I don't think it is honest.

You are simply a delight and a case study in Glenn Beck Derangement Syndrome. I am actually sitting here and chuclking at you. You are so full of " Facepalms" " Owned " and here telling me I'm backed into a corner.
You know when you do that it looks to me that you get the football, run to the 50 yard line, spike the football and declare " TOUCHDOWN!!"
You harp and harp and harp on and on and on about this nutty Bildeberg stuff that you hold to be gospel while having no proof whatsoever then call me nut for not believing it?! Then further pretty much calling me a blind idiot for supporting something tangible like Glenn Beck... How does that work?!?!
Thanks for bring this transcript up. It lends to my point about differing opinions on the same side while working toward the common goal.
Here is a snippet out of that same transcript you posted the link to:
RON PAUL: Good. Good to be with you, Glenn.
GLENN: Would you say what I just said about our viewpoints is accurate or not?
RON PAUL: No, I think that's pretty good and it seems like you've dodged your way over a little bit closer to it. So maybe you'll come over a little closer on these things we disagree on, too.
GLENN: You know, I have to Ron, I am not a guy who's afraid to admit when I'm wrong and I'm not afraid, I think anybody who stops growing is dead. And I've come a long way toward you, you know. I didn't really understand the progressive movement up until, I'd say two years ago, I really started to get a handle on it and I really started to look at the history of our country and couple that with the context of the founders. And I've come a long way towards your way of thinking.
RON PAUL: You know, Glenn, I might say that you are one of the few that will, you know, interview me. A lot of other times, you know, they don't interview me. They ask me a question and if they don't like the answer, then they start shouting. But you over these last couple of years have been willing to interview me, and I really appreciate that.
GLENN: Not a problem. And I want to make sure that this doesn't sound like a giant love fest between us because I do disagree with you, but I want to see if I can if you can make sense to me on this. RON PAUL: Okay.
Wheres the huge rift between them?
Ron Paul is Buchananesque. He says a lot of things that make 100% perfect sense. But give him some time and he'll come at you from left field with others. Glenn Beck has never equivocated about this and said that this is one of his major sticking points with Paul. But then again isn't that always the problem with Libertarians? They don't toe the party line and have a VERY diverse belief structure... Some would say kooky?
I agree with the last part of you post. I see there we can find common ground and agree to disagree on the rest.

Ya its gold aright. COMEDY GOLD! There you go again doing your little touchdown thingy.
Speaking of which you might as well just try to harpoon Beck on the whole Goldline thing. You'll have better luck.

That is all you've got? You write as if you would laugh while watching government officials discuss foreign and domestic policy with unelected officials instead of American voters...oh wait.

I think its pretty evident that's not " All I got ".
Isn't that whats been going on with Obama, Acorn, SEIU, Tides Foundation, Apollo Alliance?

So you buy the chalk board conspiracy theory that Glenn does and call me nuts?
"BECK: Polarize that individual and make that individual toxic. That's not coming after all of Fox, because that wakes everybody up. Do it small. Take them out one at a time. I'm just the first. And if you take me out, then what happens? Does [Bill] O'Reilly go? Does Sean [Hannity] go? Do you go? And once they clean this place out, then who goes? Is it Diane Sawyer? Is it [George] Stephanopoulos? Who is it? Who's next? I mean, it's -- I've never seen anything like it before. This, this -- the Nixon enemy list? Please. This is nothing like that. This is targeting and destroying."
I should clarify that I have not thoroughly investigated Becks claims on this particular conspiracy, but rest assured, I will.

OMG you are L-O-S-T
You need to read a little more on that quote. He's laying out the Alinsky tactic against Talk radio. Its like I'm debating a 12 year old here and I'm honestly starting to feel a little uncomfortable.
You're trying to argue from a point of ignorance about what this man has said and the context it was said in.
Please try to slow down and digest what you are reading before you decide to post it in a game of gotcha.

Context my rear end.
