Truth be told, I have not listened much to anyone since the 2012 election disaster.
Rush, Hannity, Savage, Levin—for all of their talk, it seems like the country just keeps drifting away to the left.They have made zero impact in the last fifteen years, except to be examples to be demonized by the left, and us by extension, being conservatives.
In fact,in the last fifteen years, I would argue that FreeRepublic has had more impact on the political scene than any of these talking heads. To wit, the impeachment of Bill Clinton started with FR’s March for Justice in October, 1998 and saving George Bush in 2000 in Florida with not allowing the count to be done in secret and the Sore Loserman label, saving George Bush in 2004, through exposing the CBS bogus Dan Rather letter and the support of the Swiftboat Vets.
These microphone jockeys have made their fortunes,sell their books and wares, but yield no lasting impact on the society.
We have run out of time to jawbone ad infinitum about things.
There has to be action. the 2014 mid term is going to be a turning point in American history. If the Dems are not turned out of Congress and state offices in record numbers, this nation is doomed.
The news is here on FR. We know more about it than most of these radio jockeys.
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner — exit82 at post 82 — the old timers know how to do it.
History repeats itself. H. L. Mencken and Father Coughlin were as famous in their day as the top radio talkers are now. For all their fame, their ultimate influence was quite meager.
