Money Making Negativity

I try to listen to rush limbaugh fairly often, because I consider it important to listen to people with whom you disagree. Also, I don't always disagree with rush. usually, but not always.after all, conservatism is not entirely wrong, notwithstanding what some liberals seem to think. 

because i listen to rush openmindedly i am generally seen as somewhat of a traitor by my liberal compratriots, and because i am not conservative, i fare no better among conservatives; i am alone in the political jungle that is america.

I just got so damned tired of hearing liberals mouth the same old insults: Bush is a moron, conservatives are eviil, and so forth. Not that there aint a hint of truth to some of it, but still...enough is enough, and too much is too much. even the least intelligent conservative leader, say, ronald reagan,was of average intelligence, and basically, that's good enough to deserve respect.

rush does essentially the same thing to libs; he castigates them. he chews 'em up and spits 'em out for breakfast. and sometimes i wonder why. oh, we know why; negaativity, verbal violence sells better than positive harmonious talk. still, one senses that rush could do better, that he really doesn't believe what he says, that he has merely slipped into a comfortable and profitable mode, and prefers not to leave it.

i would rather hear rush expouse the virtues of conservatism, and quit the dubious attacks on liberalism.  surely he doesn't really believe that liberals want a welfare state to ensure a permanent voting group of poor people to vote for democrats. nobody could believe such a thing. its too crazy.

surely he doesn't believe that the feminist movement is a way, the only way, for unattractive women to gain access to mainstream america, or whatever. whatever, its crazy sounding.

the most striking feature of modern conservatism is the way in which it tries to merge capitalism and christianity, when christianity, at least the teachings of jesus, seems more inclined towards socialism. if anyone wants to demonstrate that jesus christ was a free market corporate capitalist fully in favor of the profit motive, feel free. knock yourself out. maybe rush would be up to the job. i've nerver heard him try.
