Rush is a druggie, plain and simple. Sadly, Rush is on record as a
sufferer of a disease/affliction often associated with unprotected
anal abuse, given as the reason he obtained large quantities of drugs
illegally. Rush has failed in an abnormal number of heterosexual
relationships. Rush has had a limited formal education. Rush had
trouble with his computational skills and numbers in general. Rush is
a glutton, a heavy smoker and drinker. Do you think these life
experiences influence his thinking? Are these some of his qualities
that attract you to him? Why?

Hi Dave,

I know a lot of very smart people that did not go to
college and a lot of dumb ones that did. Ditto
for those who don't know what the "any key" is and
those that smoke. I know a lot of divorced people too
of all shades. Those qualities have zero to do
with one's ability to form a decent argument.

Rush' prescription drug problems were from that evil
oxi-crap stuff he was taking for his back, not his anus.
That evil oxi-crap is a one dose addition. A lot of
people hate Rush and make a lot of nasty stuff up about him.
Be careful of your sources. (The oxi-crap/back problems
I heard out of his own mouth.)

I believe in limited government, freedom, and personal responsibility.
Rush agrees with me. He does a very good job or articulating these
values. By the way, because a person disagrees with you, does not
mean he is not articulate. A lot of us conservatives think
that [Bill] Clinton was the consummate politician, disagree
with him as we may. The same goes for our current president and
his silver tongued teleprompter (articulate but not a very
good politician, Clinton runs circles around him).

May I point out that Martin Luther King was an absolute pig
in his personal life (hookers, communists, plagiarism).
It is his words that I am listening to. Judging people
by the strength of their character rather than the color
of their skin is moral point that should resonate with all
of us, even if he did plagiarize that too.

Are Martin Luther King's words to be discounted
because he had a thing for white hookers? Judge Rush by
his words and leave his personal life out of it. (By
"words", I mean words out of his own mouth, not hatchet
jobs by political commentators/propagandists posing
unbiased journalists.)

By the way, there is nothing wrong with saying "I don't
listen to [insert name here] because I do not like him
so I will not comment on what I did not hear him say".

Agreeing with Rush's and Dr. King's words, does not make
me want to emulate either of their personal lives. And,
yes, it is a pity that Rush can not stay married for his
life. (It is easy, just listen to your wives. That
would be St. Paul's teaching. Pampering them a little
bit helps too.)

Thank you for just stating your point and forgoing the
swearing and name calling (Brown Shirt tactics). Makes
a person much more likely to listen to you and not think
you are intolerant and close minded (and just plain mean and
uncivil). I have a close liberal friend and I love to hear
his analysis of things as he does mine. In the end, we agree
on almost nothing, but we both appreciate the other hearing
us out and respecting the others thoughts. Respect is
a good thing in a friendship.

And lastly HAVE YOU DONE ANY FISHING LATELY! :-)
