Re: Ranting on Rush
Mike, Rush has been totally irrational and incomprehensible since 9/11, and perhaps he's even worse now that he's off his unprescribed meds, which seemed to pacify him.
All the conservative talk hosts have become cheerleaders of Bushevik fascism. They will sometimes criticize Bush for not being hard enough on "terrorists" and immigrants, but that's about it. And they all buy into the delusion that Kerry is a peacenik. I wish! Then at least there'd be a tiny chance that some aspects of US imperialism and police statism would slow down with a Kerry presidency. (I still wouldn't vote for him, of course.)
Remember in the 1990s when about 80% of the time these guys had something insightful to say? Or at least refreshing when compared to the Clintonian media? "The president can't go to war without a declaration! He's spending like a madman, just to buy votes! He's trying to lie America into a police state!"
These observations go double for Bush, though you won't hear Rush seditiously criticizing the Commander in Chief of the Free World. And how dare the "liberals" criticize the president and politicize the war? Even if they disagree, we're supposed to be united behind out Caeser!
