I have not listened to Rush but very rarely, the last few years. I had the distinct impression that he compromised principle to not have to attack Bush II--a terrible mistake. Bush II totally ignored the purpose of the Constitution--in many areas--but especially as to lines of dissent--the avowed, clearly stated, purpose as to the Founders' "posterity." You cannot claim to be a Conservative Constitutionalist and embrace the idiocy that America is all about an abstract ideology.

Rush showed understanding of ethnic realities when Clinton was President. He seemed to stick his head in the sand when Bush II continued the same policies of betrayal.

“I had the distinct impression that he compromised principle to not have to attack Bush II—a terrible mistake.”

I couldn’t tell if it was compromise or he simply liked what Dubya was serving. Maybe a bit of both. Rush loves getting attention from ‘important people’, you can tell that he thinks it validates him. It doesn’t surprise me that Rush did one thing under Clinton and then another under Dubya. He craves being admitted to the club. He’s hardly a Sam Francis or a Joe Sobran willing to risk himself over a position that could cost him something.
