One Guy's Opinion on the Political Scene By: Jim Herndon
One must chuckle at the Post's Leftie No. 3 because of his article titled, "Beck's popularity is a concern." Beck has, in fact, become very popular so that much is true. He is popular and it is a concern to Liberals because his message is anathema to the Liberal's existence. He is crusading for smaller, non-meddling government, a free market, conventional family values, and low taxes. Beck is a Libertarian who also happens to be a Mormon with strong religious feelings. He scares the pants off the Lefties, who are often atheists and who, without a positive message of their own, resort to the demagoguery of class and ethnic warfare and accusations against Conservatives of racism, homophobia, sexism, and cold-heartedness for the less fortunate. What exactly is Leftie No. 3 concerned about? What does he think the menacing Beck is going to do? Perpetrate a Beck coup, take over the government, and require all Lefties to join the Mormon Church? Make them wear American flag pins in their lapels, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance?
