I watched Beck's address yesterday. Frankly it was the best speech of CPAC, and one of the better ones I have heard in years. Actually it was less of a speech than an informative lecture about the dangers of the progressive movement, which are many. I have long said that if Beck would drop his schtick, he could well be a strong leader of the "real conservative" movement.
Beck makes sense, and his outline of the progressive movement since the early 20th century is very hard to argue against. Because he has his facts correct, the liberal has only ridicule and personal attacks as an answer to him, and they are using plenty of that.
The left has used ridicule and personal attacks as their primary argument for years now -- the clintons perfected that gambit into an art form. When they cannot defend their agenda on the merits, that is what they immediately turn to. To date, it has been sufficient.
The question now is whether or not the American people finally have enough collective intelligence to see through such a shallow ploy and reject the liberal/progressive agenda for the intellectually bankrupt foolishness that it is at its very core.
