Thanks for the thoughtful input on Rush Limbaugh, my hero with clay feet.
Rush is a great conservative, but terribly weak on social issues. His heart and soul are not into the worship of God, pro-traditional marriage or pro-life. He could risk a mere 3 or 4 percent of his giant audience to be a little more socially conservative. He got his start, as you may recall, by doing “caller abortions,” with a handheld vacuum cleaner to dispose of obnoxious liberals.
But instead his real passion on social is for attacking femi-nazis, on which he is brilliant. But can’t he put some of his passion to defending babies and male-female marriage?
You’re exactly right, he does not seem to care much about the threat of the radical gay agenda and the threat toward the rights of conservative Christians. He is compromised by the fact that he is on his fourth marriage and tends to marry bimbos who do not seem to be conservative, God-fearing Christian women.
In other words, the type of woman who wheedles her rich fiancé for permission to hire the most famous homosexual singer in the world at their wedding reception.
I’m kind of glad Rush doesn’t really get into the social issues much. Those of us still on our first marriages don’t appreciate being lectured on social morality by a man on his 4th marriage and who has struggled with opioid addiction.
My impression of Rush is that he is in it solely for the $$$. If there were a market for cranky old white male liberal commentators he’d switch sides in a heartbeat. Just my 0.02.
