Rush has pretty much been the official gatekeeper for the establishment regarding conservatives since 1996. His 10 point kook test back then has been shown to be completely wrong. He went crazy screaming like a maniac against Alan Keyes who was handcuffed and dragged out of the convention a after being initially invited. It was around then he was I believe brought into the establishment and promised seniority if he keeps the movement on track with globalist powers behind the scenes. Only since Trump has he reversed gears on certain positions now that the hour is so late.
Yup. In 1996 if you tried to make the point Rush made on immigration yesterday he would have called you a kook.
