I thought I would listen to it for awhile yesterday to get a feel for what American left talk radio would consist of.

No wonder they can't get people to listen, they sound like idiots. It was like Air America, which was more like Air Heads to me.

Liberals have a hard time filling a 3 hour slot when they have nothing to talk about. No policy discussion really, its all the evil republicans, and change, and flowers with rainbows and colored gum drops. But facts and policy are left out. For 45 minutes yesterday, I listened to a guy lie through his (*)(*)(*)(*) teeth, and I don't mean just fibbing, or bending the truth, this radio host was flat out BSing about policy.

It seems to be a habit with liberals to throw crap at a wall, and hope a piece of the turd stays stuck just long enough for it to stink up the room. Conservative radio rails against Bush, McCain, and many other republicans, along with liberals of course. But liberal radio is about one thing, whine about republicans, or conservatives, and thats it.

I listen to Glenn Beck an awful lot, and like him the most out of all the radio shows I listen too. He is the most educating and funny one in the whole bunch. But what I like most about him is that he rails against all politicians, and speaks truth no matter who he's referring too. That is what I like, a little honesty. I don't care for Bush either, but I won't make up lies to paint him any worse than he is for what he has really done, or lack there of.

If the American Left radio channel would put moderate democrats, or real people on the mic, they might just get a following, but thats hard to predict. The same reason democrats have to move to the center during every election is the same reason liberal talk radio don't work. People don't want to hear the modern liberal message, which is socialism collectivism. People don't want to be taxed anymore, they are tired of working and never seeing their taxes back in any form. Bad enough you will never see your SS because they have to keep pushing up the age of retirement. That great liberal policy has failed, but we still are being forced to pay for it.
