Glenn beck declares himself libertarian

[Imperial]

Glenn Beck is really weird, especially when it comes to foriegn policy. He says that he wishes in the distant future the United States should not be the policeman of the world but at present we are just stuck and have to "man up". Until Glenn Beck really shows a true conversion on foreign policy, I won't trust him. With that said, he does closely share our economic views from what I have heard. But then at the same time, he doesn't blast the Republicans and say they are ALL fake conservatives with regards to spending.

Edit: Don't Trust at All for Now!

Actually, he did deride McCain often on his show. And, when Congress had ended its session earlier this year and the Republicans declared they would stay even "in the dark", he publicly kept saying I have little faith they will do anything. He also considered voting third party for a long time, actually having Barr and Paul on his show. I think he believes most Republicans have lost their way, but that there are some good examples.

On foreign policy, I can understand his hesitation. It is a huge jump for somebody to make, and the fact he hears the other side and lets people talk(unlike Lou Dobbs' show I may add) is a huge step. He definitely isn't like the type who shut down opposition. His views have adjusted to accomodate a big tent is all. You won't hear him saying Ron Paul isn't a true Republican at least.

I'm afraid he'll end up giving all libertarians a bad name.

Either that or he was brought on to be the new face of Republicanism. Don't forget that in 8 years when its time to elect a new president, people will go back to thinking the Democrats are the war party and Republicans are anti war. The neocons can then rig the election to have a neocon beat a real libertarian conservative and go against a war mongering democrat only to flip flop on all of his stances after being elected.

He can declarehimself a bunny rabbit and it will not make it so. The fact of the matter is if he truly went libertarian FAUX NOISE would fire him in a second. Hell maybe he will become a great anchor and someone deserving of my respect. I'm not ruling it out, but he seems like a garden variety neocon from what I've seen. Admitidly however, I haven't seen much of him.

Never heard him use neocon-speak, but he's never been an outspoken libertarian, that I know of.

Wow so um any self declared "libertarians" feel like abandoning ship to a new label before MSM defacement.

On his homepage he posted an interview with the girl who sold her virginity...deja vu! Remember when I posted that story on RPF?

[Brassmouth]

well, he certainly is the closest thing to libertarian in the everyday msm that i have noticed. That isn't a bad thing...
