Understand what you're saying but when it comes to Rush (and other media types) they speak in a lot of generalities and it's what they're NOT saying that bothers me. He can say he's for individual freedom but how much attention did he pay to the Klamath Falls debacle or the current "Sawgrass Rebellion" happening in Florida? Many public figures say they're for smaller gov't and lower taxes but what's the reality on both counts? Aren't we now at a point where there are more gov't workers in this country than there are in private industry? Taxes are a joke...all any one has to do is compare their current outflow of $ for all types of taxes vs. 2,5,and 10 yrs. ago to see the fleecing we're getting despite all the rhetoric.

I know he was a big backer of all the free trade agreements and look at the havoc it's caused with loss of jobs, tax base, more illegal immigration, huge increases in debt at the fedgov/corporate/personal level (which masks the true damage of free trade), etc.

Basically, I feel this country is probably at one the most critical stages of our existence and if we are unable to ascertain what is the reality our situation instead of blindly believing the rhetoric as truth then we will very well live to see the end of our "constitutional republic". By the way, is that a term Rush uses in spite of the fact he calls himself the Dr. of Democracy?

excellent reply...i am not sure what rush thinks is important anymore...Clinton raises his serpent head and rush blathers for days...there is so much rush could talk about other than playing gotcha with the dims...but it's his show and i am glad he has the influence he's acquired.
