As a regular Beck watcher, I am sometimes challenged to see where he is going because we actually don't think alike on everything. As a teacher, what amazes me is that he can hold an audience for almost a full hour without a teleprompter, without bashing Obama, without saying the GOP is fabulous and still bring resounding applause. I respect him because I DON"T agree with him on everything, but I applaud his effort to see behind the soundbites and business as usual in DC. And I applauded many times from my living room last night.
I applaud his effort at self-education (seems like Lincoln did the same thing) and his effort at bringing his life around to responsibility. Effort, and responsibility being the key words that liberals cannot stand. Nothing has been handed to him. He was not born rich or poor. His success is not guaranteed and he is not depending on the govt to solve ANYTHING for him. And yet, in spite of the fact that the tide could turn against his success at any moment - and he doesn't know what is on the opposite shore - he just keeps swimming. He just keeps speaking what he understands as the truth on this day.
That's what middle class Americans (of many colors and ethnicities) who just get up and go to work every day to take care of themselves and their families love about him. He is an American from German immigrant small business entrepeneurial stock who takes his true God-given rights seriously and does not expect anything else to be handed to him. He will rise or fall on his own merits and effort.
Liberals/progressives - when will your big tent and tolerance allow admission to those who differ with you?

As an avid listener and viewer of Beck, I can honestly say that he was on fire yesterday and his speech was absolutely brilliant. Yes, we must stop this infectious disease known as progressivism that is running rampant through our country.
