I quit listening to Rush after the election. Not because I believe he’s wrong or I don’t like him. I can just see the writing on the wall. Rush is fighting a losing battle and has been for a while now. Maybe he should hang up his spurs and enjoy retirement.
Yeah. If I were him I’d do like Boortz, cash out and enjoy the golden years. Possibly even somewhere far from this dying country.
I quit listening after the election, too. For the same reason.
I quit coming to FR for months after. I started coming back when it looked like Obama's troubles might lead to an American reawakening, but I have lost faith in that now.
Agreed. I stopped listening because I got tired of his false optimism that conservatives are pumped and primed to take back the country going into the 2008 2010 2012 2016 elections.
I agree to a point. He could also go back to the biting satire and ridicule he was so good at in the beginning. Abortion updates with the sound of a vacuum cleaner - Slim Whitman's Paloma Blanca - A new IRS update theme using the Beatles Taxman, NSA updates using Secret Agent Man and etc. etc. One thing many fail to remember from Andrew Breitbart's brief but brilliant career was one of his axioms: "Politics is downstream from popular culture." The American pop culture is in such a spectacular ethics free fall that politics is almost invisible to the masses. JMHO.
I’ve done the same for the same reason(s). I listen to Hannity sometimes on the 1.5 hour drive home (just for something to listen to) but not so much anymore.
Change (for the better) isn’t going to come politically. I used to believe it could but not anymore. The only help I see coming is through a true conversion of each man’s heart, via Jesus.
Politics, as an atheistic exercise is an exercise in futility. The only reason I keep informed here is just that: to stay informed about the reality around me. To do otherwise would be irresponsible. But I hold out no hope for beneficial societal change from any political party, civil upheaval or physical revolution, and I’m beginning to think I was foolish for ever believing there could be.
Yeah. What's the point in fighting evil if it has the upper hand. Let's just all quit and "enjoy" it.
