#7 Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck has hosted a nationally syndicated radio show since 2000 and a program on Fox News since 2008. More information


Few can match Beck's popularity with grassroots conservatives, and his influence is rising as his audience and reputation grow. Concerned primarily with protecting individual rights—especially with a Democratic-controlled Congress and a Democratic president—Beck appeals to libertarian sensibilities as old as the republic.

A populist hero to the right and a bogeyman to the left, Beck spearheaded the successful campaign for the resignation of Van Jones, an Obama White House aide tied to a radical petition. Beck endured an advertiser boycott for saying that Obama had a "deep-seated hatred for white people," though the remark seems to have only enhanced his ratings.

Obama's Unsustainable Budget

President Obama is a lot of things — smart, accomplished, married to a woman with great arms — but he's as fiscally responsible as a "Real Housewife of Orange County" at a Louis Vuitton sample sale.

Obama's Broken Promises

I contend we're not following the law anymore. We haven't broken free. We're not looking at the Constitution anymore. We're forging chains--again.

Iran

What You Should Know About Iran

In March of last year, Obama called for "engagement that is honest and grounded in mutual respect" with Iran. Mutual respect? Really? The only reason you would even consider talking to Ahmadinejad is because you don't understand who he really is. He's called America the "Great Satan" and also said our friends in Israel must be "wiped off the map."

China's Our New Master

When we found out that China was selling our children lead painted toys and poisoned dog food, did anyone wonder why George Bush didn't say anything? Imagine if an American or British company were selling our kids chewable, lead-based toys? We would have hammered them. Why didn't we say anything to China? For the same reason you usually don't stick your finger in your boss's chest: You don't bite the hand that feeds you! China now rules the world.

Obama's Big Budget

But since I don't know which fundamental transformation we are shooting for; since the president has said in the past that the Constitution is fundamentally flawed; since he's surrounded himself with out-and-out radicals — many socialist, some communist — isn't it reasonable to ponder the question: What kind of transformation we are changing to?

State Of The Union

Less Mouth, More Math

Well, to be quite honest with you, I don't think we saw either of those guys show up last night. Arrogant progressive -- at least to me it doesn't even begin to describe what I saw last night. It was more like watching, I don't know, Fabio stare at himself and then that Randy Macho Man Savage part of Obama educate America on how great he is. You know what I mean?

Spending Freeze "Nonsense"

I'll take the $250 billion, but this isn't exactly some kind of savings that screams: 'I'm going to lead the State of the Union. This is groundbreaking!'

Guess We're All Morons

Joe, here's a basic that you apparently don't understand. We are not a democracy; we are a republic. And the Founders put those first three words in the Constitution in that really big font for a reason — as dumb as we may be — "we the people" still run this country. And Founders like Thomas Jefferson knew the people would make mistakes — usually when the government got too big and out of control and the politicians would figure out they could bribe their way into more power.

Obama

Obama Still Bashing Bush

What Obama either doesn't understand — or he just doesn't care — is that what we actually need is — I don't know — maybe a president who is not a radical revolutionary; a president who is not trying to fundamentally transform our country.

The Soul of the Democratic Party

We're not talking about Republicans or Democrats. They're not the ones putting this country at risk. What we're talking about is an ideological movement that has set its sights on the destruction of the Constitution and the fundamental transformation of our Republic. It is called the Progressive movement.

Don't Be Surprised Massachusetts Race Close

A Piece of The Pie

Three Questions for Health Care Reform

The best way to fix health care is to fix it the same way you fix the economy: Get the government out of it; stop protecting people from their own mistakes.

Robert Creamer Strikes Back

And yes, progressives, as much as you try to excuse it: Taking money from a bank that isn't yours -- even if you intend to someday pay it back or achieve social justice with it -- is stealing.

Meet the Other White House Gatecrasher

A convicted felon, who was invited to the White House for a state dinner -- that alone is exceptionally rare. But even more interesting is that in his prison manual, Creamer laid out a ... 10-point plan for foisting universal health care on the American people in 2009.
