Here's some advice yourself: Cool down. I never bragged about myself, you're the one who's showing no tact, and I'm still correct. Your point is understood, but the fact that you take offense doesn't change the facts.
There are some solid points made in this thread; I used to be uncomfortable with Rush's style, but I thought he showed himself to be honest and mature and had a lot of integrity when he had his medication problems. This call is an excellent example of using common ground to bring everyone closer. Someone mentioned the common misconception that Republicans are rich, I think things like the Pell grant AS AN ALTERNATIVE to traditional government handouts are an excellent rebuttal to that notion. It's what the compassion in compassionate conservatism is all about. The Conservative part is that you're expected to qualify by pursuing education, which specifically enables you to get a job. Once you have the education, no more money except what you earn.
Of course life isn't fair, and just because some people's parents can afford to pay for their school doesn't mean that the govenrment should step in for everyone. But since we live in a world where the government does intervene through social programs, and that's not likely to change, Limbaugh demonstrated that there's room for compassion without compromising the value of integrity to your beliefs and being accountable to yourself.
My conservatism is based on my Christianity, and how Jesus lived His life. He helped those who needed it, and as Rush said, Americans are compassionate and do help those who need it. Of course that doesn't mean that the government should do everything. But the fact that this woman, despite all the influences to the contrary, had her child and is raising her thoughtfully, makes me glad that she's getting some help from the government to become more self-sufficient. It may be controversial to some conservatives (and the above discussion illustrates it) but I do think it's both compassionate and conservative.
