Heed your own words, sir.

"I've lived long enough to know the truth and Glenn pretty much has it right."

Kurt Vonnegut said that people do not learn from their mistakes and that age does not bring wisdom. He was smart enough to recognize that truth is a slippery thing, not self-evident, and that putting forth our own opinions as "truth" is one example, as this person demonstrates.
One dictionary definition of "common sense" (i.e., public opinion) is the unconsidered opinions of simple people.

"But don't worry, the truth has a way of making itself known regardless of personal opinion."

But I do worry. The more I learn the more I realize how little I know. And don't give me that crap about "I suspect anyone over 40 years old knows exactly what I'm talking about." I'm 66 and I think you are both arrogant and delusional.

I am a lifelong Democrat.I was an aide/senior exec. to several governors,US senators, was an advance man to four Democratic presidents and a family member was a long term Congressman. The Democratic party that I grew up with is gone at the national level. It is ruled by left wing intellectuals that honestly feel they know whats best for the rest of us. Much of what Beck says is correct in spirit. He is a self proclaimed Libertarian.I have seen the erosion of individual rights at all levels of government.The agenda that is currently promoted by our president and the majority of congress will certainly add another nail to the coffin.

A person who can't understand the facts is stupid. A person who is unaware of the facts is ignorant. A person who distorts the facts or makes up his own "facts" is a liar. Beck is neither stupid nor ignorant, he's just a liar...

Well to be even more accurate, I would say he's varying portions of all three. With an emphasis on the latter.
