I like Rush, and I do listen to him.

But, I am not a Dittohead, in that I don't march when he beats the drum.

Rush is very intelligent, very well read, and has a great sense of humor.

However, there are times that I find myself shaking my head, because sometimes he is wrong about a point or two, only because he can't possibly KNOW everything, all of the time. We all have things to learn, on occasion. And we all can have variations on opinion.

I think exposure to different ideas is valuable, and on Freerepublic, you find people who have digged deeper into the issues, and dug up the facts, and then you find yourself LEARNING from them. That's why I love Freerepublic, because it is like a community of people who want to learn from each other. (All IMHO.)

I don't listen to Rush. I do like him ,and have disagreed with him in the past. I think he has done some great things for the R group.. but a few of his followers are a confused lot.

I guess the term I was looking for was Dittohead.

See, I just learned something from you and .. aren't you a libertarian?... GO figure ;]
