My comments were pretty much limited to stating that Rush makes no bones about his middle-class childhood, and from 20 to 30, he struggled with different jobs. No wealth. NO Exclusive clubs, no privileges. Just working day to day. Then he found his groove, someone found him, and helped promote him into national recognition.
How did you get the blather about ghetto??? (One too many visits there to get drugs???)
Rush is great for what he does. Read the threads here that aren't put-downs or whiny complaints about how Rush isn't a purist (or an obnoxious person, like Michael Savage.) I enjoy William F. Buckley and George Will ... but the "masses" can't understand the polysyllabic compositions, and probably figure that the writings are a bit too dry for their taste. But Rush is Education and Entertainment. And "Joe Six-Pack" enjoys the show, gets educated, gets motivated, and instead of reflexively voting Democrap, he might vote Republican.
Rush has succeeded more than most politicians - and helps more than the purists or Loosertarians .... you can't make progress until you get the masses better educated and you can control the House, the Senate and the Big House (White House) ... And THEN maybe some real progress can happen.
