The founding fathers were great for their ability to compromise, not be right, something that we have all forgotten. They knew the USA was an experiment, they didn't know much beyond that. | ||

People who listen to radio shows like this have no clue about what's going on, they know nothing about ecomonics -- they aren't educated in any of the matters going on right now. And yet we listen to a guy that says "Obama is bullcrap", and a bunch of facts he just reads off and expects all his listeners to believe him -- and they do, pathetically. I'm not going to give an opinion, because I don't have a right to bash or support shit I don't understand. If I weren't lazy, I'd sit down everyday and actually research this issue, but I don't do that, and neither does 99% of our population. You do know Mark Levin is the President of Landmark Legal Foundation, a Constitutional Lawyer and Scholar and worked in Reagans administration correct? I guess the CBO and GAO also have no clue what's going on either. | ||

Do you honestly believe conservative talk radio is just a roundhouse of 'I say this is happening, and it is!'. No. It's a mix of philosophy coupled with the use of facts (If you ever listen to the show, you would know that a lot of hosts like Mark Steyn, Ingraham, etc. use CBO, GAO, and independent source reporting (Drudge etc.)), and colorful commentary that us conservatives find quite entertaining (For example: Levin calls those in the GOP who vote against conservative values: Repubics. I also love the Barney's Frank bit, hilarious). They also don't parrot party lines, as when anyone in the party votes counter to conservative values they rip them as much as any eco-marxist. I guarantee you, you listen for a week and you'll hear as much against the likes of Snowes, Collins, Powells, Grahams, Tax and Kill 8, failure of GOP leadership, and anyone who voted for TARP and Stimulus. Anyways, I myself am an independent conservative/libertarian and the only reason I'm not registered as a Libertarian is because I disagree on a few social issues. And lastly, if all Talk Radio did was parrot party lines and said the same talking points over and over it would be a huge failure like Air America and NPR is. It's successful because it isn't that, and as any good conservative sticks to principles and values irrespective of party. | ||

Would you rather have dull boring commentary, or lively entertaining commentary? The same information is still presented either way. Some people hold onto the concept like you have to be Mother Theresa for you to be taken seriously, which is erroneous. I like my facts spiced with colorful commentary, of course if you identify with those ideologies and people it may not be as funny, but facts are facts either way. | ||

The "spice" you are referring to is extreme bias. | ||

you have to really stop assuming, and just read what people write. I make that same mistake all the time, i'm still learning. did you watch reflect on yourself please. If you are able to think critically, which I assume you can, you will be able to see the irony in your blog title. | ||
