God give us men. The time demands
Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and a will;
Men who have honor; men who will not lie;
Men who can stand before a demagogue
And dam his treacherous flatteries without winking;
Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog
In public duty and in private thinking.
— Josiah Gilbert Holland. 1819-1881

I guess it's just me. I didn't have that big a problem with it. What Rush says is ugly and incendiary to the left. It is the plain truth to conservatives. The way he says it offends the right. There is nothing wrong with acknowledging that. It's just the truth.

I am not going to judge the man over a 2 second sound bite. I will wait for more to come.
