“Pure Marxism” is Rush taking a stand against the tidal surge from the left. It’s imprecise but at least he’s on the right side of things. Nitpicking arrogance doesn’t help the cause.
My wife is ex-irish catholic. Her family is so devout that we were not sure all of them would make it to our protestant church. Some of these people come very close to worshiping the pope. I’ve seen quite a bit of it in my life and no small amount of it here.
With that background, that is why, as soon as I read the headline, I did two things. First, I checked to see if it was satire and when I saw it was not, I said to myself, “man, oh man, he just lost a LOT of supporters. He is no idiot. The stakes must be very high.”
I’m only down to post 165, but you’ve made two oustanding replies to the arrogant nitpicking fool RC. And that’s what he is….in the context of Rush’ show, which is not one of academic precision but is one of brilliant communication of big ideas and generalities, Rush is 100% right on this.
