I did not see the interview but from the three things you mentioned I find it sad. She had opinions on two things that are irrelevant (couches and clothing) but had no opinion on an issue which could be of major importance. While I agree that it is refreshing to see someone admit they don't know something and not try to BS their way out of it, I find it sad that and opinion was rendered on something so irrelevant.

I do not recall which president said that they wanted to bring back dignity to the office by having everyone where a suite in the oval (jacket and all) as if that action would bring dignity to the office. IMO, dignity is gained by tangible actions not by clothing. I personally do not care if Obama or Bush wore running shorts and tank tops in the oval. It is their actions in office that I look at.

Commentators are there to get your money one way or the other. What you are suggesting is noble but doesn't pay as well so, not happening. People want new and exciting. Facts are boring.

Well, one of the eternal criticisms lodged against Conservatives is that we are just too sure of our selves, and too dogmatic.
I used language like you indicated to soften my views so that they do not appear as offensive.

If that offended you, I am truly sorry.

Exactly right. And he thinks he's a good Christian while running that crap?

There a several ways to own gold; this is one. Don't like, don't buy it. I haven't bought it.

It seems like the argument starts with not liking GB, then looking for reasons. Don't like him" Don't listen, or watch.
Sort of like me and Air America--oh, there aren't even around for me to not watch, are they.
Birds of a feather, flock together.

Only if you believe that the individual holds no responsibility for his actions.

How do you know what he thinks? You read faces and now minds too? We all seek to profit which is why we do what we do. Profit can come in many forms.

Thank the stars we have you to guide us as to who has a clue and who doesn't. OTOH, why do we need you to tell us? We just have to see who agrees with you and vice versa. Those people are in the know. Anyone else is clueless.

It's envy plain and simple, for Beck and his sucess and Goldline for theirs and the people who can buy gold if and when they want to, the main critic here the OP, is a guy who is troubled by having to pay $2 to get into the junk yards!

The usual narrowminded prejudice. Got anything substantial?

The utterances you encounter are nothing else but the echoes of your own noise. If you were only half as intelligent as you pretent to be, you wouldn't let yourself down to converse with such a pale crowd.
Schizophrenia is only one word for such a "make-no-sense" behavior.

Why would anyone trust you? What is the basis for your determination "no one would want to be Glenn Beck"?
