"We've shown you tonight that Hamas, Code Pink"�the feminist anti-war group�"and the Muslim Brotherhood are all linked together." With the future bleak, Beck called on his viewers to pray for "our way of life" and for Israel.

Damn it, man, why would I ever admit that I am a conservative when people like this gadfly are crapping all over the label?

In striving for balance, make sure you realize the further left *they* go, the further right *we* must go. But this formula has produced the current polarity, and therein lies the rub.

Mind you, polarity is not a bad thing, except when the result is total inanity and a breakdown of rational discussion. Of course, I am a bad example, as experience dictates I am a fanatic loose cannon with no meaningful political identity. But I assure you this is a defense mechanism I employ so that I might have an escape route, should things go awry, which they always seem to do.

I spoke elsewhere of a veil, and I meant to articulate that there is an ominous a-political force that is shaping our news. I am not speaking of a conspiracy. It is right there in front of you all, staring you right in the face. But it cannot be named. It is as if a truth, stark and naked, is by virtue of being unhidden actually invisible to everyone.

We need a news network exactly like the one IP proposes. Not just the conservative 'we' but the human (American) 'us'. Everyone needs it. If I were as rich as my friends at the IDF it would already be done.

Think on that for a second before you deride me for being long-winded.

>>In a system of governance which is driven, or pretends to be driven, by public opinion, there will always be those who seek to shape public opinion to their own ends. Only a moral and ethical people determined to live according to laws can avoid such temptation.

...to their *own* ends.

If I am to take this seriously, the liberal ends are to be seen as faulty aims. Moral and ethical people (punks) do not create fault, in the sense they always aim for what is good. Good is defined as an association with moral and ethical feelings, as those (potentially mitigating) feelings are seated in what.... [t]he Jury will understand to be the "conscious awareness" of the shooter. Conscious awareness can be legally modified by introducing prescription drugs, and prescription drugs can have harmful side affects (sic). When drugs that are legally administered produce a violent individual... well, you get a hung jury.

"Daze into Raves with Rohypnol. Now only six ObamaCredits; (with approved HID Reference Number, not available outside Recovery Act Zones, while supplies last)."

But History plays no favorites. No vainglorious stratagem can preserve a race or nation that grows ever fatter against those growing ever hungrier. Remote brilliance, even when birthed from inside a cave, can bring into the world the 'next power'. Whatever that is, it can be used morally and ethically or it can be administered orally and rectally.

@IP:

I believe all your questions and concerns regarding the state of official "conservative" media can be answered by the C.S. Lewis essay, "The Inner Ring".

In a system of governance which is driven, or pretends to be driven, by public opinion, there will always be those who seek to shape public opinion to their own ends. Only a moral and ethical people determined to live according to laws can avoid such temptation.

You know, it takes a pitch. Unless it doesn't.

What is the long-shot outta left-field chance that a person of your magnanimity could attract sufficient investment from *perpetually uninvolved parties* to create a new 'hyper-realist' news network? A "100% AMERICAN FREEDOM MOTHERFUCKER" Network?

I mean access to everything---> all the leaks, all the leaks of the tortured leakers, all the leaked video and transcribed audio tapes of the torture of those who leaked the unleakable torture tapes. All anonymously.

Well, I can promise you such a network would sell Tide like nobody's business. But I can promise you that selling anything brought to you by nobody is like selling everybody out.

But I would dedicate half of the after-tax less certain fixed costs income from my online transactions, in perpetuity from this day hence, to meaningfully assist in the creation of such a network. Is that an example of preloaded websatire?

But I am anonymous. Shalom.

I fully support any and all endeavors to get IP front and center.

Front and Center.

Screw holding back, unless it means not throwing one's self off the edge into overstatement and lunacy (c.f. O'Reilly). I see no point in refraining from truth in debate, no such thing as balance between good and evil. Good is balance. My opinion sums up like this: I'd pay extra for a channel like the one you describe. Might even do so for a Weiner/IP debate. Be nice to see a low-down Yankee liar get things proven.

Glenn Beck was targeted by this guy last year, and his response was the website weinerfacts.com.

I've also seen him go up against Michelle Bachmann, and basically keep repeating the same bogus claims with that smirk that says I'm right, you're wrong. He could have had an honest debate, but preferred acting like he couldn't believe such a bimbo had an idea in her head.

And yes, I would have thought he was a lawyer. Something like a slick criminal defender, who talks so fast and charmingly that juries eyes glaze while they start nodding yes.
