Do you think he follows in the footsteps of George Washington and Thomas Paine? If you do, I feel sorry for your incredibly low aspirations.

Rush can be great at times (for instance his writing after the Supremes abominable decision on CFR).

But, too often he blows his own horn and stoops to cheap tactics, because basically he is an insecure man. He makes nearly as many enemies as the followers he gains. I prefer my heroes slightly loftier.

But, you can have him. If he would mature, he would be a better man, and more useful to the conservative cause.

I suppose in a way, yes. But I attribute him to my conversion to conservatism. Yes I made my own decisions. My own choices. I am simply pointing out that everyone is human. George Washington was my hero as well. Anyone that can cross the frozen Delaware and defeat a superior British Army with inferior forces does it for me.

I don't know how much loftier a person has to be before they get your approval rating. I would think, in light of recent interviews with Roy Black, that your position would've changed a little. I'm certainly not here to convince you, but in my own mind I simply use him as a standard.

I think Ronald Reagan was the greatest President I'll ever know. There's a distinct difference. Had Ronald Reagan converted me, then I'd have been writing about him. Rush was there for me when I needed him and he's still there. Opinions are opinions. That's all. But thank you for yours. It's nice that you commented at all. You could've just zotted it. So I appreciate that.
