“I’m sure if he started making this distinction a large percentage of his listeners would immediately tune out, however...”
Not if he went there and reported on what he saw.
Most people, especially Rush listeners, don’t need a boogeyman enemy, like China or Russia. They understand that our biggest enemy nowdays lies within.
Now you got me thinking... Who better to show Rush around China than an ex-pat who relocated to Shanghai on his own dime? A conservative who ran manufacturing plants in Belgium, Chile, and the US and now has moved to China - not for cheap labor - but freedom of economy?
And is a hard-core conservative/libertarian to boot (meaning I am with Rush on the small Government/low tax thing AND the gays-are-OK-with-me-and-Elton thing).
Hmmm... I think I’ll invite him over! Besides, a G550 would be a lot nicer than an A330 with 300 other people... LOL
