I admit that it's a fine catch-phrase, but it's a bit much if you really mean to take it seriously.
Of all the posters to this thread, it seems that your posts are the most "correct," in your own mind.
Well, I will certainly grant that my opinions differ from many of those expressed on this thread, and as such I suppose they stand out. To the extent that I agree with Kondracke on the matter of talk radio, and others do not, I suppose it's appropriate to say that I consider my posts to be "correct."
While I don't agree with Kondracke on a lot of things, even within this article, I do think his underlying point in this instance is the correct one. As a political movement Conservatism seems irrelevant and bereft of useful ideas. I don't think our underlying principles are wrong ... but I do think that we tend to lose sight of what they are; and I'm convinced that we very often fail to apply them to the world as it is today.
And hence you get an Obama -- a cipher who seems to have ideas to fix what's wrong; and an adoring media who are longing to be led by a charismatic figure.
When you look at the "impact" of talk radio on this phenomenon you find that it had ... little or no effect. The vaunted power of talk radio quite obviously did not penetrate the consciousness of the folks who needed to be convinced. As a result Obama controlled the debate.
RUSH does get it and that is why I look forward to listening to him every day. I am not brainwashed by RUSH, nor led astray, I think almost identical to him already. He is head and shoulders more talented and more correct (98.8% of the time) than most everything else out there. Also, I should have said his talent is on loan from GAHHHHHUWD, as he does. Could it be that you harbor a little bit of envy regarding RUSH.
Obomber, on the other hand, is a fraud, a puppet, a fifth column communist traitor, a stooge, a patsy etc., who has an acceptable stage presence. He is in way over his head and he knows it. He apparently didn't register for the selective service, he can't produce a valid birth certificate and so on. All his supposed attributes amount to a charade. He is not the leader, but a figure head who reminds me of the guy who had to smoke crack in order to get in the right zone to write the West Wing, if you recall. The coverage 24/7/365 is a ruse and a diversion. The puppet masters are the problem. The vote fraud is a problem. And on, and on, and on.
The chattering nabobs of positivism don't have me fooled, the rioting in the streets has simply been nipped in the bud temporarily or has not materialized into anarchy, yet, as our enemies would want it.
I don't want to get on your case, per se, but me, myself, I'm mad as a hatter and I am sick of the B***S*** from the ruling elites who think they don't have a care in the world, while the rest of us out here in the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives have to conceal carry to survive.
