I think he was shedding light on the dilemma many are feeling today.
Rush is as conservative as the day is long, but he is no saint.
He may be a prophet but he is no saint.
Same thing goes for Levin and for the record, I bought Liberty and Tyranny as a one of the graduation gifts for my son.
Maybe we need to lose some saints.
Our party has become splintered with single issue voters.
Reproductive rights, gay marraige, amnesty, Lilly Ledbetter Act, etc etc...
What do you think the democrat constituencies are?
There used to be a saying: "Conservatives search for converts. Liberals hunt for heretics." You never hear that anymore. And for good reason. If conservatism is going to have a successful future in electoral politics at the national level, two things that we will have to do are:
1. Acknowledge that there will disagreements among conservatives, agree to disagree agreeably, and stop this BS of heretic hunting, where folks proclaim that the path to success is to expel from the movement everyone who disagrees with them.
2. Expand our base by searching for converts. Not by outbidding the left in pandering, but by convincing people that they, and their families, will be better off under conservative policies. Given the left's control of education, the news media, and entertainment, that will be a long, hard process. Of course, since BO has a second term in which to destroy the economy, we may have a target rich environment in the next couple of election cycles.
