Do you think Glenn Beck, Ann Coltur and Bill O'Riley are ruining America with their extreme Conservatism?

Question

I think that extreme conservatives are ruing America because they promote bias notions and further the polaritzation of the United States.

Answer 1

What about Michael Savage?

I do think their hype is an act, but I do wish it were real. I believe what they talk about is what America needs.

Answer 2

I think you are wrong. You used the word "extreme" which shows bias on your part. There are not commonly recognized degrees of Conservatism.
Basically conservatives favor less government and less government spending. America has enjoyed an economic upturn over the past several years. Semi-conservative George Bush engineered it with his administration's fiscal policies. It is happening all around you, despite the recession inherited from Bill Clinton, despite the horror of 9/11, and despite the wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq.
The people you named do not have biased notions. I think that is a predjudiced statement on your part. They certainly are not ruining America. Mr. Beck and Mr. O'Riley are radio talk show hosts. They are entertainers. Their merits are judged by how much commercial money they bring in.
Ann Coltor is a book author. She writes books. Her books always move to the top of the best-seller list. That means people buy her books. They buy the books because they like and agree with what she has to say.
Conservatives are for National security, homeland security and protection of the entire population - equally. Conservatives support the military and the mission and support everyone in the military - equally, and with no discrimination.
Conservatives are for equal employment opportunity. That means for everyone - equally. They oppose quotas, liberal biases, affirmative action. These practices are not needed when everyone has equal opportunity to earn a living.
I disagree with your claim of further polarization. The people in the US are not polarized. Some support the President on the war efforts, and some do not.
Politics is an art, not a science. We have about 280 million people in this country. We all have a right to our political views. My guess is no two political views are exactly alike.

Answer 3

Wow, I would say the same thing about Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton, Diane Feinstein, Al Franken, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Ted Kennedy, Michael Moore, Tim Robbins, George Soros, George Cloony, Madonna, Susan Surandon, John Kerry, John Edwards, and Mike Coleman. Their Socialist Liberal agenda that they know what's better for me than I do, and their "Do as I say, not as I do" attitudes are doing more to hurt this country than help.
Regular conservatives are promoting any bias notions. They are for family values and a good clean America.

I could go on and on, but since you're not really looking for an answer to your question because your mind is already made up, i'll stop here.

Answer 4

That is sadly what makes Yahoo! libs extreme. Glenn, Ann & Bill never go wacky like that.

Answer 5

I haven't heard Glenn Beck, so can't comment, Bill O'Reilley - though pompous and arrogant, has been known to give fair and honest debate - when the person he debates with can give an answer that isn't the same rhetoric (Did you see his interview with Whoopie Goldberg?) and as far as Ann Coulter - I am not a fan with anyone who lumps any group of people into the 'Godless' category.
I must say there are those who fall under the liberal category that are just as bad as those conservatives mentioned here.

Answer 6

Well, being an "extreme conservative", I can only say that you need to learn to spell (Ann C-o-u-l-t-e-r is who you're intending to reference, not Coltur), and the word is "ruining" not "ruing", and "polarization" not "polaritzation". Once you've mastered that basic English skill, you might realize that you're talking about authors of books, not Presidential Cabinet members or members of Congress or Justices of the Supreme Court. You need to keep your focus in reality, not off in some paranoid psychosis. It's called "Freedom of the Press" or "Freedom of Speech", and it's a guaranteed right located in the "Bill of Rights". You, as a liberal, might have heard of them, since you all are so interested in your rights and never your responsibilities. Once you've come down off of your delusional state, you might realize that there was never a need for your question since it has no realistic basis. God Bless you.

Answer 7

Glen Beck's lunacy speaks for itself, Ann Coulterd is a scrawny man with a blond wig, O'Reilly is a female sexual abusing misogynist pig. To think some Americans would even pay attention to them, Sad. The real issue here is with the technological age being what it is, they are heard all round the world and that image of America is portrayed.

Answer 8

Oh yes!

They all say "I'm not a Politician, so no one will really listen to me ... etc. etc."

But that's not true. They are ruining America from the inside. I mean the public would listen to them. That's how (unfortunately) lame brain today's Americans are, with exceptions to some.

But those Hillbillies buying all the sh!t that people like Glenn Beck are selling start causing violence. Teaching their children to hate some race or some religion.

Answer 9

I don't think it's them.. I think the problem is that just like republicans control the presidency, the senate and the house. They also control the airwaves and the news. Things just need to be evened out a little more. CNN should give these left wing wackos like Racheal Madow(spelling?) and others an hour long spin show to even it out.. I don't think disagreement hurts the country, I think it helps to have alternate views but when the overwhelming majority of views are republican.. That doesn't help...

Answer 10

I hardly think any of these are extreme conservitives, however, if they are wrong, correct them. Educate those around you with your knowledge. Trying to "shut them up" to unite America goes against the first amendment...unity under tyranny is what you are proposing.

However, conservatives voted in the administration and congress. The majority in America aline themselves with conservative values.

With this fact, I'd also have to throw the question back at you. Wouldn't those with alternative/progressive/liberal values be the ones polarizing America? If they didn't speak up and dissent, we'd be united.

Answer 11

If you think Glenn Beck is extreme, you are the one who is extreme. I don't know much about Bill O'Riley. Ann Coulur is good for America.
