Yes Rush is great. And, there are an awful lot of other very good ones who should be thanked.
I'll thank Jim Quinn in Pittsburgh and his warroom right now! He's superb, even better than Rush, imho.
(He's on the net.......check him out.... warroom.com)
Rush is a man of ideas. He is the best philosopher / comedian / economist / and lately psychologist that I know! Because his arguments are backed with facts and accepted economic theory (as well as human nature) this has given us conservatives the confidence to debate liberals and the privilege to have that debate shut down when they lose by words such as "racist", "homophobe" ...
We don't receive Jim in our area (VT) and my company has pretty strict internet rules at work. I'll take your word for it, however.
