RP Movement Has Been Hijacked!

[angelatc]

Here's a thought from DH - at the end of it all, Glenn Beck (and Rush Limbaugh) is going to leave us with a net plus.

Even when he drives his bus over the cliff, our numbers will be stronger as a result of the message he is putting out there. He is reaching people that have never "heard" this message before.

One thing I have to keep reminding myself is that liberals took this country incrementally. Slowly, and piece by piece. I find it almost impossible to believe that socialism is calmly explained as a part of our "mixed" economy now.

That did not happen overnight. It took them 75 years of picking scabs to create this wound.

Because once they are in power again, it will be the same old game. Just like Obama duped the Democrats into believing he was a populist progressive, he turned out to be bought and paid for by the same people as Bush. Imagine our disappointment when we allow that to happen to us again. It's coming. We have such short memories. These people have a system for maintaining power, they are using it against us, and they are not going to give it back just because we asked for it.

This.

I don't hate Glenn Beck and I am glad he has been spouting out of his program a lot of things I can agree with. And that is my honest to god opinion.

..so ive been sending Beck nonstop emails for about the past hour and 15 minutes about how hes a douche for having libertarian views yet not having Ron Paul on....how can he cry about Principles and Values and wont even have the most honest guy in Congress on his show....maybe 1 of my 78673268472368 emails will get thru.....

I remember Glenn had McCain on his radio show back in November. . . they were DISAGREEING. McCain said to Glenn "Now Glenn I am not a Libertarian! I do believe there is a role for government."

Then Glenn had Ted Nugent on. . . they were both like "Is there anybody who is not kissing Karl Marks Ass?" Then they were pondering what to do. . . then they both sighed saying they couldn't let Obama win so they would just have to vote for McCain and hold his feet to the fire. You could tell Glenn WAS NOT pleased with McCain though.

That was back on Headline news. . . I think everyone is worried because he is now on Faux News.

If Glenn spreads a message, then supports a bad candidate. . . the people will KNOW it because they already learned the message. It is a very hard message to UNLEARN. Don't shoot the messenger in the foot BEFORE he gets it out!!!

The dissenters are the Huffington Post liberal libertarian crowd and you can't stand the thought that perhaps a lot of REPUBLICANS will switch to the Libertarian Party. You can just expect it to happen...because it will. The Libertarian Party is going to be the new home for conservatives..and you dissenter whiners might as well get used to it. The GOP is now the Dead Old Party...and I believe many will go Libertarian. I am THRILLED that Glenn Beck is speaking the truth..and people are listening to him . GO GLENN GO GLENN GO GLENN! TONES

I don't think Glenn Beck could hijack his kid's tricycle, let alone the freedom movement.

Early on. I had lots of people tell me that Ron Paul would be remembered as some future Reagan's Goldwater.

Scary thought, how futile "our" efforts.

I do not think Reagan was futile, nor was he a mistake. Bush I was the mistake.

ever hear of the Constitution party?

dream on.... no self-respecting conservative would go libertarian -- the Constitution party is a more likely candidate for them.

you wouldn't.

 

[pcosmar]

you wouldn't.

Was it Reagan or was it Bush?
Ollie North never said who ordered it, People assume , but he took the 5th.
I still do not understand that. Can someone point me to the 5th under the UCMJ.

 

[angelatc]

Like i said earlier - the socialists got here step by step, through incrementalism. I do not have any Utopian belief that we're going to swing hard right suddenly. Even Ron Paul says that was chaos.

Reagan won elections with his messages. Work with it.

Was it Reagan or was it Bush?

Was it Bush or was it Cheney?

Cut the rhetorical non-sense.

Some of you guys need to chill. No one is hijacking anything. When people join your cause, it is a natural thing that new leaders emerge, if you want people to stay with it and us, then join those meet-up groups. Explain to the people thier how our monetary system works, show them how we can't fight a war and not expect some kind of financial debacle from it. Show them how many bases we have overseas, show them everything we talk about, with a financial spin on everything. Money is a language everyone can understand.

Once people understand how corrupt, and hurtful the whole system is, the more they will realize that the only possible solution is the obvious one....to abolish that monetary system. It's not hard, we just have to break through layers of bullshit.

Conservatives understand money, they know the importance of savings, the importance of private control, of production etc. Or Used to before Reich Marshal Bush showed up, anyway. Talk to them in that language. Glenn Beck, Love him or hate him, has figured that out.

If you don't want to loose the movement to a bunch of neo-cons, become an educator in your meet-up group. The more you explain the system, the more you will be seen as a person with answers, a person with answers, is a person who's advice is revered.

In short, get involved, don't freak out, become an educator, become a resource, and drop the "Glenn Beck" is the devil non-sense. A lot of the people on this board who bust their asses used to be Neo-Cons......

It was a huge tent back in the day. We had neocons, socialists, anarchists - everybody who shared the love of freedom.

We spent more time doing things than crabbing about who was doing it.

We laid the ground work for this to happen. It's happening.

The only thing the RP movement has in common is RP himself. Issuewise the RP movement members have very little in common. When people talk about the members running out educating the American people to "OUR" beliefs what is really happening is the American people are getting a 1000 contradicting messages. Just by reading this forum should dispell any belief that there is a common belief.
