My\u00a0fellow Chicago Boyz<\/strong> <\/a>blogger and co-author<\/a>, Lexington Green<\/strong>, has hit the big time – as a story on the nationally\u00a0broadcast Glenn Beck\u00a0Program<\/a><\/strong> . <\/strong>Having written an incisive\u00a0post on the strategic Boydian<\/strong>\u00a0aspect of Beck’s recent rally <\/a>at The Lincoln Memorial, Lex today discovered that his analysis would be read on the air by Beck himself:<\/p>\n

Glenn Beck: This guy gets it<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

GLENN: All right. So this guy, Lexington Green, I’m assuming that’s not his real name, writes in <\/strong>Chicagoboyz.net<\/strong><\/a>: I think I see what Glenn Beck is doing.<\/p>\n

I think this is the only guy that really gets it. The Glenn Beck rally is confusing people. Why? He is aiming far beyond what most people consider to be the goalposts. Using Boyd’s continuum for war, which, you are all for that one, right, Pat?<\/p>\n

PAT: Sure. Boyd’s continuum? How many times have we talked about Boyd’s continuum?<\/p>\n

GLENN: Okay. Well, let’s make it once. Material, intellectual, and moral. He is using for political change elections, institutions and culture. Beck sees correctly that the conservative movement has only had limited success because it’s good at Level 1, the elections, for a while. Weak at Level 2, institutions. And barely touched Level 3, culture. Talk radio and the tea party are Level 3 phenomena, popular outbreaks which are blowing back into politics. Someone who asks what the rally has to do with the 2010 election is missing the point. Beck is building solidarity and cultural confidence listen to this. This is it.<\/p>\n

PAT: A smart guy…..<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Agreed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have never watched Glenn Beck<\/strong> on TV, except a brief snippet of his interview with Sarah Palin<\/strong>, but\u00a0as a major media personality, it\u00a0was very\u00a0gracious of him to reach out and acknowledge Lexington Green. That level of exposure is something that has been a long time coming for Lex, and IMHO, it\u00a0is richly deserved.<\/p>\n

Having gotten to know Lex in the last few years well enough to call him a friend, and having been a guest a number of times\u00a0at his book-lined home, I can attest that\u00a0Lex’s keen intellect and depth of knowledge gives his writing the cultural\u00a0verve that deserves a larger audience than our humble corner of the mil\/strategy blogosphere. He’s one of those small minority of\u00a0bloggers toiling out there who has the right stuff to play at a much\u00a0higher level.<\/p>\n

Congrats Mr. Green!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
