Rush’s contribution to conservative ideas occured when he was starting out nationally. At that point he served as a “party line” for conservatives all over the country who never realized how prevalent their ideas were in America. Rush, by allowing these voices,not his, but their voices, to be heard resurrected a conservative movement that was dying of being totally ignored by the media. In the last ten or so years Rush has far fewer calls, many more bombastic “look at me”” soliloquies, and in general made it all about him. I understand where you’re coming from, but I don’t agree with you. if that makes me a troll than Free Republic is not the site it was when i joined in Aug 2000.
For over 20 years, I have illustrated the absurd with absurdity, three hours a day, five days a week
Rush, quoted above.
Problem is, the Left is beyond “absurdity”, it’s into more or less bloodless (so far) coup territory. Into marxist revolution territory. It’s not fodder for humor and light banter. The left is actively and very aggressively destorying our country and taking away all of our freedoms. It’s not “absurd”, it’s tragic, it’s momentous, it’s dangerous and our lives are at stake.
