No, Rush is not being hypocritical.

Two things have caused the chinese to catch up to us in overall GDP, and it isn’t free trade.

1. they’ve taken to capitalism with a vengeance
2. we’ve take to socialism with a vengeance

If we encouraged free enterprise and rewarded hard work rather than fight it and discourage it, we would still be way ahead of china, free trade or not.

Even with that, China has almost 5 times the population of the US. If it is true that their overall GDP is about the same as the US, that means their PER CAPITA GDP is still only one fifth that of the US. So we’ll have to continue our march to socialism a while longer before they catch up with us in per capita GDP.

Anyone who criticizes Rush doesn’t remember what it was like before him. He revolutionized talk radio and gave conservatives a very powerful voice for the first time. he has since spawned many imitators (which is a good thing.)

I can’t stand it when folks, especially supposed allies, criticize this truly decent man.

Conservatives seem to be good at eating their own.

Probably not, which is sad.

Protectionism from free trade is simply another use of government force to impose a desired social or economic outcome, which is just as bad when it's used for your pet purpose as it is when the liberals do so for theirs.

Yes you are........Not only that but you're blind to the fact that Rush has been a major critic of our government policies that are driving our business overseas...........

He's NEVER been a proponent of it but sees it as a necessary route to profitability in a climate of US policy that attempts to over regulate domestic companies......

hey rush abortion is not merely a social issue it’s an economic issue. China’s one child policy will bring it to ruin.
