It's easy to mistake him for a Conservative, as he often defends Republicans and is wise to the Democrat Socialists, but he mistakes "reproductive rights" for liberty while having no regard for those among us with the absolute least political clout, the Terri Schiavo's and the unborn.
It would be hard to confuse him with many Libertarians, however, since he defended President Bush on Iraq. Compare that position with the isolationist strain among most spokesmen for the Libertarian Party, for example.
And, by his own admission, he often beat the drum to provoke a knee-jerk response among callers.
On a positive note, I try to remind myself that Boortz might attract some leftists to new ways of thinking. His wickedness can draw the worst kind of people who hate what is right.
Such newcomers lured by Boortz can poison conservatism a little, true. It’s just a way of looking at it.
