[OPINION] Conservatives everywhere have been asking "What now?" Whispers about a third party evolved into pundit news banter. All the while Glenn Beck was putting his money where his mouth is and he's ready to roll. Now that's something we can relate to.
The established GOP is now an arm of the Progressive Democrats. The election was a disenfranching sham. What GOP legislation that makes it from the House to the Senate is denied the floor by Harry Reid. It's where all good Bills go to die, forever adrift in the shadowy void somewhere between courier bicycle and Hannibal Harry's "to do" box.
We learn of conspicuous consumption spending-Bills and self-serving presidential executive orders after it's too late to act. Or so much chaos surrounds them we lose track of which to act on and which can wait so we do nothing. Those Bills wouldn't be reported at all if Conservative news didn't do it, yet ne'r a peep of GOP dissention can be heard.
Contemptuous Bills that do make the news before being passed turn into a child's charade of "How To Schmooze Americans Into Thinking We're Doing Something" as they chuckle-it-up on golf courses, take vacations, close down for extended holidays, or just plain don't show up at all.
Whatever legislation does pass whenever it does pass a Progressive end is so predictable it reaks a stench so foul they have to pass another Bill to contain that pollution. We're hamsters on a wheel moving Forward! so fast our heads are half way up our butts while we're still trying to figure out where the heck that smell is coming from.
My spark of hope was with Jim DeMint now that he's free from Congress to be a creative genius at Heritage Foundation. So far that's no more than flowery words and no amount of flowers are going to take this smell out. We need to till the weeds under and start over. Let's do it.
This is as good an idea as I've heard.
I'd not have voted for Ron Paul but if Libertarians came up with a candidate as proactive and straight as Rand Paul is I'd borrow a Democrat name to vote twice. I got to thinking, though, that creates a dilemma. Liberals' acronym is "Libs," what would Libertarians' be? Nothing's perfect. Then I read these articles: Libertarian Party (LP). How original.
Take it away Glenn ...

Glenn Beck announces global libertarian news network
[Excerpted] A person's claim to the libertarian label is deemed valid only to the extent to which he or she consistently adheres to this axiom
Thus, many hardcore libertarians never really accepted the Republican Party's "libertarian-leaning" Ron Paul as one of their own because they found too many exceptions to the non-aggression axiom, and they will almost certainly see Glenn Beck as just another libertarian-leaning conservative whose "libertarian lite" social and political views will give the general public a false idea of libertarianism.
But Brian Lehman's article in United Liberty*, Glenn Beck’s new “libertarian†network is a good thing, (excerped below) may have summed up many libertarians' concerns. "By no means should we be naive here" he says of Beck's motivations and "general looniness" regarding conspiracy theories, but adds "The libertarian worldview simply must reach a wider audience, and it may just take an imperfect messenger to do so."

*Glenn Beck’s new “libertarian†network is a good thing
[Excerpted] When I first heard that Glenn Beck was going to relaunch his “The Blaze†as a libertarian-focused network, I was skeptical as I’m sure a lot of libertarians were. While Beck has called himself a libertarian for some time, he has spent the last few years peddling in conspiracy theories and general looniness that has served to be quite an embarassment. I used to listen to his radio show and watched his Fox News program for about a year before I became tired of his antics. So when his show was canceled and he moved to a pay-per-view format, I was glad to see him go.
But Beck has proven he knows what he is doing. He has been able to create a successful business outside the cable world. He is reaching a sizable audience, largely of the young folks that need to be won to the libertarian cause. These folks might already be leaning that way and would benefit greatly from hearing more libertarian viewpoints and analysis. And there are many more who simply never hear this perspective who might be getting it for the first time, or the first time by actual libertarians instead of cartoonish versions given by the regular media.

The Reps/Dems control the debates and what parties are permitted to participate...
They control the media and who they deem news-worthy. Good candidates don't get air time and NO ONE has had MORE free airtime than Obama!
Couldn't even get Ron Paul in a debate where they could actually talk about real issues and answers. It's all smoke and mirrors.
So, pardon my skepticism, BUT I do think Glenn Beck is on the right path and we MUST get as many on board - and the earlier the better.
BTW, unlike what today's news media suggests, Beck isn't so much promoting a 3rd LP as he is offering an honest news media with Libertarian Conservative values that's large enough to have a real impact. That is a magnificent beginning. Whomever does it with the same moral code, this can be a particulary effective platform for any 3rd party, not limited to Libertarians.
will be back tomorrow...
Ok now back to my point... Why, was the GOP so nicey, nice? The GOP never comes out swinging but yet again the Dems/left points to the GOP as war hawks... We cant be both ways, the GOP as well as the left send out mixed signals, we are a confused bunch of voters, it seems... I often wonder if the GOP allows this to happen to fool the American people and to help the left get into the White House... I am to the opinion that you cant trust any of them and even Mitts own son, said that his father didnt really want that job... If he didnt want it, why didnt he drop out and give someone else the chance that did want it...? Was it all for show and tell then? THen the left comes out even before the race and declares the pretender the winner... They must of knew something that the rest of us, didnt.... Why, even vote if the winner is already chosen before hand?
As you suggest, IMO these established GOP Progressives (Boehner, Graham, McConnel, Hagel and especially McCain) - with too few sincere Tea Party Conservative Congressmen to make a difference - are on the same One World Government (OWG) platform as Dem Progressives. I see no evidence to the contray. And in that regard they are playing a game that plays the American People as fools.
Why, even vote if the winner is already chosen before hand?
And THAT is exactly the point. Exactly. Conservatives agree with you, Truth. But rather than be demoralized, which is what they want, let's work together and use this opportunity to do the right thing ... for ourselves, our future generations and for this country that is much too unique and great a country to let them sit it on some back shelf of "good old days" history.
Libertarian 1 an advocate of liberty,esp. of an almost absolute freedom of expression and action 2 a believer in free will
I don't know if Beck fits the definition, but he isn't going to be able to redefine the word to his worldview. So it's a risk. The main thing is whether he shares his forum with people who are indisputably so. It's a test of character.
I wonder if I'll ever hear someone say"I consider myself a Beck libertarian", what that would mean(other than I was wrong).
Any interest eventually brings the seeker to that definition, and its implications. And Beck is an interesting guy.
So, this is good.
LOL, yes Beck is an interesting guy; and this is good :). His main focus, which gets lost by the media, is an honest investigative news source. His promotion of the Libertarian platform is more of pratical "here's a good place to go" attitude. I'm not Libertarian but I'd vote it over what I've seen of these two party's sheisters.
Patriot Americans have to start compromising, no one is going to get everything they want. There is nothing wrong with reasonable compormise.
Thanks for taking the effort to retype Jay. Yours in an interesting comment and lifts my spirit to see it.
