It’s funny, because I get the impression we’re fairly close in political thought, but I’ve never been able to stay tuned to his show. He gets too exciteable, which makes me tense. Thinking about it now, I don’t think I actually enjoy any conservative/right commentators. Can’t stand Savage or Coulter, have to hold my nose with Rush, Beck makes me nervous, and Hannity is obnoxious. [/quote]
If you haven’t noticed, there are some hot contributors on Fox News

Indeed.
Look, of all the people with views opposed to my own I’ve encountered on this site I think you frustrate me the most. Unlike most of the others, you do not seem to have a heart and mind crusted over with the impenetrable armor of blind leftist faith. If I’m reading you right you want to believe what you say you do for honorable reasons which means you can be persuaded by reality.
You have just got to look clearly at what is unfolding before our eyes here. I implore you my friend. These people are taking us down a well trodden path to bland emasculated mediocrity at best and downright apocalyptic disaster at worst.
This is not about Republicans or Democrats or black or white. It’s about sacrificing the hard fought liberty of all Americans on the altar of communist utopianism.
Want a quick primer? Beck is coming on at 5 eastern. Forget about who’s show it is. He’s just a man and he makes mistakes, but his research is pretty tough to argue with… most of the time. He reaches a bit further than I would every so often, but what do you have to lose? [/quote]
Well I recognize that I don’t have the “right” answers for any of this political stuff. I only recognize that I work hard…keep at school to make a better life for me and my hard working wife. Nobody owes me anything. I look at things from a simple perspective and with common sense.
Maybe I look at things too simply. Maybe so…but I know that my thoughts and opinions do not tread on the opinions of others. I disagree with a lot of what you say…yet I can respect what you say…and how you say it. We recognize the same problems…we just disagree with the plan of action to fix it.
At least on the surface. But I think we agree on more than you give me credit for…it just gets lost in translation. I’m still actively learning and listening.
Boss, your very principles and ideas are what this country is supposed to be about. Capitalism, where you haul the mail and get to open it at the end of the day. With Socialism, you get taxed at maybe 60-65% for all the public benefits and programs (schooling, education, etc).
Not to mention fiscal intelligence and responsibility from our government, spending money wisely and not wasting it on dumb shit. These fuckers in gov’t have no problem spending money for this or that because it is OUR money. Boy it sure is nice spending someone else’s money.

Just keep your powder dry and eyes open.
Like I say. I don’t think you’re a brainwashed zombie like some of these guys. That’s enough. I can’t think of a less arrogant sounding way to say it.
You can tell the type of tree by the fruit it bears, this is how I look at things. Someone can say what they want, but their actions are more telling than anything else.

Which is exactly why I pay ZEEROH attention to what anybody says during a campaign. Their record tells me everything I need to know.

Which is what is called “lip service, or as we used to say actions speak louder than words”. Seems many people, especially youngins don’t understand this.
