Academic paleoconservatives are watching their idealogy become more mainstream as Beck and the rest of the disaffected republicans explore the errors of their (my) ways. But we aren't academics so the dialogue is pretty unsophisticated.

And if Beck sounds conspiracy-minded, maybe it is because most of what goes on in Washington happens behind closed doors out of the public eye for the express purpose of obtaining results  that are not desired by the public nor good for them. Sort of like--a conspiracy.

Glen Beck is a terrorist hijacker of the liberty movement.
