Football is his passion. That used to be conservatism and it showed in his work. There was passion, anger, drive and determined resolve. That’s gone it seems to me. Sure, he’ll get angry and still put up a token defense of conservatism and he’ll go off on the target du jour, but it’s perfunctory - rote and his heart just isn’t in it.

You give him one little break and he’ll be off talking about football or golf and a heartbeat. Most times when I hear him now he’s going over things I’ve already read about, thought about, and his opinion on it really isn’t anything new or innovative. Right now he’s a rich man with a good income and he’s skating.

Yep! I agree.

Probably like me he can read the handwriting on the wall. The nation turned hard to the Left in 2008, and there is no indication that we are about to correct course. The 47% will very likely be 51% after they promise to forgive student loans. The half-life of Communism appears to be 70 years. Reagan Conservatism ain't coming back to this country in my lifetime.

He knows this. You can hear it in his voice every time he reads a mind-bending poll of Millenials.

Michael Savage is a lot worse than Rush for talking trivial nothing. He’ll go on and on and on about vitamins and how to grow a garden, or his personal stories from the Bronx. I quit listening to Savage a long time ago for that very reason.

Used to listen to him all the time starting the summer of 1990.

I think three things took the wind out of his sails: (1) the utter duplicity of the GOP after the 1994 congressional victories (during the past 20 years they've made it clear they're part of the Uniparty); (2) his marriage to Marta and related divorce; and (3) the prosecutorial witchhunt over his misuse of prescription drugs.

He's smart enough to know the tipping point has been reached.
