Politics Glenn Beck Thinks He's Now the Great Libertarian Hope

Posted by on Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 4:19 PM

Yeah, sure:

Glenn Beck announced plans Tuesday during his online television program to expand the news operation in his media company, The Blaze, and refocus it as a libertarian network, opening three foreign bureaus, debuting a nightly newsmagazine show, and relocating his New York staff to showy new offices.

Glenn Beck is about as libertarian as I am. He's a dolled-up neocon who loves individual liberties unless they run counter to his precious Mormon values. If libertarians swallow this load of horse shit, their whole cockamamie philosophy deserves to dry up and blow away.

libertarian != far-right wingnut

This can give you a rough idea of where your political beliefs fall on two scales: 1) liberal to conservative, 2) libertarian to statist: http://www.theadvocates.org/quiz

@9: They will, they being conservatives who think they're libertarians - right up until the next hurricane, tornado, earthquake, etc. smashes their trailer flat.

American libertarianism as described is already horseshit. but go listen to some morning zoo tapes of the guy and let me know if that whore really cares about any ideology.

Libertarianism deserves to dry up and blow away regardless.
