...assembly hall, promised of the United States that, “100 percent, we are going to pass major climate and energy legislation that is going to have an impact on emissions.” One does not have to look very far into issues up for debate in Congress to recognize the boldness of this claim, in the midst of a bitter deadlock over health-care reform and the maddening twists of Senator Joseph I.

And yet his brand of conservatism, which blends ideological anger with a misty-eyed, almost fragile nostalgia, hit home this year with millions of conservatives worried that President Obama and the Democratic Congress were steering a great country aground and shackling its potential. Some 8 million people listen to Beck's radio program, and this year his Fox News Channel show became required viewing for the right.
