The segment you commented on was the only part of Rush that I heard today. It concerned that article by Thomas Sowell...Sowell expresses a gloom in that piece that verges on the tragic. Rush's comments pn the piece were some of the most perceptive I've heard in a while. Times have changed, the electorate has changed, and none of it is in our favor. I see fewer and fewer chances to reverse the general trend of things using traditional methods.

Nothing against hunting, but I'm surprised no one else has commented on that particular segment of Rush's show, nor your own remarks. We are indeed in a bad way. However this all shakes out, America will be a very different place after Obama. Either it will be a quasi-socialist state like Europe, or it will be a country led by reconsitituted conservatism. The old post WW II conservatism that elected Reagan and won the Cold War is dead. Can it be reconstituted in present conditions? I am beginning to think, as you implied, that we're all in for a "dark night of the soul" and that only God can save us now.

Thanks, ishmac....I’ve been saying it here on FR since the morning of 11/4/08...and taking a bit of a beating for it. There are many in denial - many who think we’re simply “in a cycle.” I don’t think people understand that what we’re facing is unprecedented. All things have changed - nothing is the same.
