'It has become meaningless since Rush passed, and there is not a uniting force to keep a true conservative standard.'

What a joke. The entire point of Rush was to hinder nationalism and populism. He spent the entire 90's bashing populism. He was the biggest proponent of NAFTA, GATT and the rest of the free trade issues we've suffered from. He kept his mouth shut on illegal immigration until it was too late, and carried the water for the gop time and again. The idea that he was the gold standard of 'conservatism' is absurd.

No, the actual joke is your post here. Rush was the epitomy of Conservativism in every way. Your comment that he “carried the water for the GOP” gives you away... since it’s obvious, Captain, that Rush was on the right side of politics and was therefore pro-GOP. But hey, thanks for self-identifying as what you are. It saves a lot of time.

I would encourage you to take a little time review what conservatism is.

Print it out, read it outload and let your lips move.
