Glenn Beck Conservative Radio Host My evening breath of common sense comes from one of the newest personalities in my life, sources of news and opinion and most entertaining sources of conservative and common sense ideas.

Headline news was kind enough toshar a slice of conservative point of views, ethics and an end to the horror which is political correctness.

If you havn’t had a chance to check out Glenn beck on Time Warner 33 Headline news, you really miss a chance to see an effective portrayer of common sense. I enjoy Glenn for the main fact that he doesnt convince with his hate of political correctness or opposing points of view, Glenn uses evidence of his arguments and always circles back to common sense as a weapon of debate.

“Beck started in radio when he was 13 years old in Seattle, Washington by winning a local radio contest to be a DJ for an hour, and was eventually granted a part-time job. He hosted Christian radio on Saturday, rock on Sunday and country on weeknights, but according to Beck himself, he lost all of these jobs at the age of 14, all at the same time.

After high school graduation, Beck pursued his career as a Top 40 DJ, and experienced success and rapid growth in radio during his 20s. Beck was a DJ on WKCI-FM (KC101), a Top 40 radio station in Hamden, Connecticut, hosting the local morning show. Originally the show was billed as the “Glenn and Pat Show” with co-host Pat Gray. Later when Pat left the show, Beck continued with co-host Vinnie Penn.

Years later, he began to explore the world of talk radio with a one hour program on KC101’s sister station WELI. Beck then worked at Tampa, Florida’s WFLA-AM and launched The Glenn Beck Program during the afternoon drive, filling the slot vacated by Bob Lassiter. Beck hosted the new radio show, combining politics and comedy. In the first year, The Glenn Beck Program moved from 18th place to the #1 position. Within 18 months, Premiere Radio Networks, the leading radio syndication company in the country, offered Beck the opportunity to go national. In January 2002, The Glenn Beck Program launched on 47 stations growing to 234 stations by September 2006. With over three million listeners it was ranked 8th in the nation[3] and 3rd among listeners age 25 - 54. Also in January 2006, CNN Headline News announced that Beck would host an hour long show during prime time; Glenn Beck on Headline News debuted in May 2006″ - From Wikipedia.

Glenn often claims to be the Consaervative who happens not to be a Republican. Glenn is the conservative voice most closely in tune to my own on the issues. While I choose to vote (r) on many races, I am against parties as they cloud the intentions of unique people in office.

Wikipedia provides the following stances on many key issues for Glenn Beck, and as pointed out his ideas are almost perfectly in tune with my own.

“Beck’s stated opinions include being pro-life, including being opposed to euthanasia and capital punishment. He approves of torture as a means of exploiting terrorist information in certain circumstances. He is critical of the entertainment industry, and is opposed to anti-smoking regulations. He describes himself as pro-business and against raising the minimum wage. Glenn Beck supports the 2nd Amendment, and is against new anti-gun legislation. During the summer of 2006, he began to repeatedly refer to the War on Terror as the Third World War.”

Take the time to visit Glenn’s site, check out his show on Headline News and ask yourself how all the common sense ideas never occured to you as well.
