Personally I have gotten VERY disillusioned by them ALL.

Keep in mind that w/o the conflict, their revenue streams die.

Like many things that have NEVER added up to me about this once great nation, since becoming an imitation American back when my parents dragged me to SoCal from Western Canada at the age of 16, the “inability” of the “conservative” talk show host community to ACTUALLY do something about the sad state of affairs just stinks to high heaven IMHO.

LISTEN CAREFULLY to ANY of them - first of all, their screeners seldom let anyone through who presses the host for any sort of definitive action/suggestion/statement.

The last time someone asked (**redacted**) for any sort of specific advice, he just blew them off with something to the effect of “I don’t have any answers to the problem, my friend.” And, I’ve heard “Let not your heart be troubled” enough times to last me a coupe of lifetimes.

The whole bunch of them are nothing more than crafty users who are taking advantage of our frustration to live the very same high life on the backs of the middle class as the congresscritters they supposedly oppose.

>>to ACTUALLY do something about the sad state of affairs

Boston used to have the late Jerry Williams who was seen as liberal but later became “populist...muckraker...anti-statist”. He talked about the Dem-controlled state govt. in Mass—hacks, cronies, tax increases, fees, fines, and government interference in our lives.

Jerry would have people call or write legislators (pre-email)
to pressure them. There would be rallies, like one against
a proposed prison in a town that didn’t want it. Efforts
to repeal the intrustive seat belt law. Anti tax increase
rallies, etc. He spoke out against Mike Dukakis when he
ran for pres in 1988. “We know him well here in Mass.;
don’t be fooled, America.”

So a bit of activism there. For awhile at least
(alleged) fiscal conservatives like Bill Weld got elected.
Fighting against Dem-controlled govt is a battle in MA
but Jerry did his best.
