“He thinks Levin and Sean are neocon kapos”
lol. That’s giving Sean too much credit for having any consistent philosophy. He’s probably closest to a 1960s Establishment Republican, the ones who helped LBJ pass his bills... Sean loves that 1964 civil rights power grab that Goldwater, Buckley and Reagan opposed. Of course Rush did too. I don’t think any of them know/knew much about what conservatism was before the Reagan years and the neocon invasion.
Finally have a moment to share thoughts.
To me, his announcement last year was more difficult than his death, it took me weeks to get past that announcement because I knew he would be leaving not on his terms.
For most of my adult life, I arranged my day around the 3-hour class he held. Through college, unemployment and jobs, relationships, marriage and children I always arranged my day around this. The podcasts made it easier because I was able to listen over the weekends.
The world is a little colder for me. I feel like I felt when my father finally passed. Dad was in pain for months, toughing it out for my mom but he was broken towards the end, a shadow of the fun loving, gentle cigar smoking knucklehead with huge hands and a huge heart.
