Was Rush on fire today? I haven't been listening much since Rush has been playing pass interference for Bush and the Republican status quo. Hell, Rush didn't even discuss 2nd Amendment gun rights issues until years into his program. I still don't know why he plays it "safe". If I had a $250 million dollar contract already signed and in the bag, I'd feel free to vent red hot conservative ideology, unless, the contract stipulated a hands off puss cake approach as the bottom line. I suspect this is the case since I cannot conceive any other reasonable explanation for holding back so much. Very, very few true conservatives that challenge the assumptions and propaganda of the so-called "conservative" status quo, get on Rush's show or are unceremoniously disconnected when they do. What is left is the usual, boring, predictable procession of either mutual admiration society types or the odd looney tunes liberal moron, both easy calls to take. For a powerful, serious, discussion of fundamental political issues, Rush's show ain't it. Sadly, many existing and new talk radio formats are also being toned down as well to avoid "controversy". However, since controversy is the life's blood of the interactive talk radio format, its removal means the dimunition or end of it in the long run. Of course the retort is to label we who are committed conservatives as loonies or misguided. Well, that only goes just so far before the "loonies" look elsewhere for information. Limbaugh, get a clue.
