"Rush Limbaugh is a popular entertainer. He is not a political thinker on the level of a Russell Kirk, a George Sowell, or a William F. Buckley. Sorry if that doesn‘t go down well, but it’s the truth."

Rush may not be a great "political thinker." But he's very loyal to conservative principles and conservative leaders.

As Hubbard once said, "an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness." And a lot of "Freepers" seem to be grasping for the latter. Those who can't keep a decent level of respect for one of our own need to find another web site.

I never claimed that he wasn’t.

The number of foaming, rabid responses to my innocuous little opinion piece here on this thread only serve to support my suspicion that a cult of personality based around Mr. Limbaugh exists within the universe of his audience. You’ll pardon me if I don’t join in; if I wanted to be a member of a creepy cult I’d join the Scientologists.

The Right does not need its own version of L. Ron Hubbard. I wish Mr. Limbaugh well, but I’m nobody’s Dittohead, and no one else should be either. Our loyalty should be to God and to the conservative cause, not to any one man, however entertaining he may be.
