And maybe you need to read what I said.

I haven't accused Rush of having an inconsistant philosophy, I said that the world has largely passed him by.

He's constantly beating the same dead horses and it's long past being uninteresting.

For instance, Rush decided that in order for there to be peace in the Middle East the Palestinians had to be thoroughly trounced militarily like the Germans and Japanese in WW II.

Putting aside whether this concept has validity or not, there comes a time when the point has been made and it's time to move on.

But Rush hammered on this theme day after day for a couple of weeks until I got so bored and exasperated that I just couldn't listen any more.

And it's been the same with most of his program material since he lost and then regained his hearing.

Maybe he's too much into a comfortist and cacooned lifestyle to be on the cutting edge anymore.

Whatever the cause, Rush has become a broken record who just is no longer very interesting.

But since you brought up ideological consistancy I say that Rush isn't practicing what he formerly preached.

I have may times heard him disapprovingly accuse disgruntled conservatives of caring more about ideological purity than about winning.

This perfectly describes Rush today.
