Jeez, Trump sure has all the “new castrati” (as Rush has lovingly named them) in a tizzy with their panties in a bunch. Their hysteria has had me laughing repeatedly in recent days.

"Donald Trump came out tonight for Ethanol (RFA) let’s see if he gets the same treatment Walker got in January."

WELL!!! This adds some weight to the "he's just another Schwartzenrenegger" thoughts I've been having! Especially since I see Mr. Kennedy cuckhold is replacing the Trumper on some celebrity apprentice show!!!

As Lee Rodgers on KSFO used to say to Melanie Morgan:"Never fall in love with a politician... They'll break your heart EVERY TIME!!!"

Rush is almost always right. And when he’s wrong, he’s still got great heart, great humanity and a love of America that brightens my day.

“Donald Trump represents ethno-cultural-civilizational identitarianism. That’s all there is to it.”

THhat’s all? How about a pronunciation test three times fast?

Rush is usually right.

Only 99.87% of the time.

In 2000 NR endorsed Bush over McCain. I know Buckley gave McCain money in the primary.

Sure does. Cruz supports individual right. Trump uses government to steal old ladies property. You may think that is a little test. I think it is a major test.

What Limbaugh has done here is to conflate license and libertinism with freedom and liberty, and he’s surely sophisticated and intelligent enough to know the difference.

Of course Rush knows the difference. He also know what his audience wants to hear. They want to hear macho swaggering and he gives it to them.

I don’t remember a presidential campaign where “conservatism” as a disembodied concept is championed like it is now. Huckabee was right when he said Reagan’s campaign theme was about the greatness of America, not the greatness of conservatism. It is getting creepy. The themes that Trump is running on are conservative, and these idiots are concerned that he doesn’t belong to the true Church of Conservatism.

All good. But using government to take property that doesn’t belong to you is a major fail. But I don’t expect everybody to agree with the notion that a conservative candidate should oppose government taking property from one citizen to feather the nest of another. Tens of millions agree with you.

I believe that our next ‘real’ president is going to be either Trump or Cruz....I’ll accept either one.

My preference is Cruz because he remains the only real conservative in this race. However, if Cruz is unable to change the tide, I’ll support Trump for many reasons and because he, like Cruz, is also a fighter against our greatest threats, the media, libs and the damn GOPe.

Voting for the bill which gives Iran the nuclear bomb passes your ‘protecting life’ part of the test?

BTW, you can go back and look if you want to because I was critical of Cruz on TPA, the Corker Bill and H1B visas. But none of those votes or policies abridge individual rights. I’m 64, been a conservative all my life and not gonna change now. If it’s Trump or Hillary I’ ll vote Trump because Hillary fails every leg of the little test.

I’ve been listening to Rush and I like the way he’s handling this unlike other media that are considered ‘conservative’.
