I prefer liberty to all other social conditions, as you know. Beck does too. The enlightened thinkers know he does -- having experience of the man. The not-enlightened cannot believe it. The Socialists have to choose between believing it and remaining socialists. Since remaining socialist is an unworthy and blood-tainted goal anyway...

Because Beck only proposes liberty for those he support his opinions and version of "liberty". Beck is a hate and fear mongering tool who pictures himself as the savior of the right.

He also is a scam artist. All you have to do is check out the gold company he tells his listeners to invest in to see they are nothing more than thieves who pay Beck and sucker in more victims.

Sheldon, dear boy. You cannot show that to be true no matter how hard you try. You've never listened to Beck in your entire life -- or you would not say what you just said and I quoted. He's not remotely that restrictive. Quit trying to tell the people with firsthand experience of the phenomenon that you know more about it than they. You don't. And fear is not what I experience listening to Beck. I can maybe think of one solitary slight acquaintance who might occasionally experience a twinge of alarm -- but he's quite a maybe.

Indeed? How much have these sellers cheated you, stolen from you, or from anyone you know? You're going to raise hell with a guy for advertising on the radio??? Your shamelessness is appalling, your understanding of business regrettably scanty. I recommend at least one read-through of Henry Hazlett. He's only been around since the middle forties.
