I’m sure Rush is watching the BC issue closely and has an opinion, but he’s not going to lead the charge. The problem is there’s a good chance that there’s nothing there, that Obama is legit. The best argument for pursuing the BC issue is about process, not about outcome per se. It’s a subtler argument but it’s enough to get you grouped with the people who are white knuckles positive that Obama is hoaxing the country. It’s not worth the risk, so everyone’s going to sit back and watch while those with nothing to lose, like Alan Keyes, do the dirty work.
Could be. I certainly am not privy to Rush’s thinking.
But to ascribe such attitudes as fear, wanting to be liked, afraid of the Fairness Doctrine, etc, ad nauseum to his motives is to mischaracterize and fail to understand him entirely.
Embedded within this observation is quite a bit of what is wrong within the so-called leadership of the so-called conservative movement.
Risk nothing. Sacrifice nothing. Accomplish nothing.
As opposed to the attitude of the founders of this country:
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."
