I got to hear this yesterday (a nice surprise,as an Atlanta Boortz listener before he retired), and it occurred to me that "conservative" voters cannot separate political and "social" values from their candidates. I can't, at least. A candidate's position on social values is an important measurement of his overall beliefs.

I understand Boortz' point that we need fiscally conservative politicians who can leave social issues alone, but those aren't the candidates that win votes (if they did,Libertarians might actually be a viable party).

And he's wrong about abortion - a "woman's right to choose" extends only to the extent that she chooses to engage in recreational sex. If that "choice" results in the creation of another human being, she has no right to determine whether that child lives or dies simply to excuse herself from her actions.

Boortz supports ‘abortion’ for other reasons than he lets on. If you listened to him enough you know why.
