If Trump isn’t a conservative, than I don’t know what is.
Rush is taking a real backhanded swipe at the Bushes here.
I’m still a single issue type of voter.
I want my gun rights back. Trump can stop all of this nonsense and guarantee a second term.
Also, it’s truly time that our national leadership spoke up and flat out banned Abortion. It is murder.
Other than that, everything is going pretty well. I also wish we could get serious about people crossing our borders and destroying American Culture. Too many people (Even those from New Jersey) move somewhere and refuse to integrate, instead bringing the very reasons that they left with them.
But that’s a cultural thing, and the president can’t do anything about that. But I need my gun rights back.
As a New Yorker (one of those people who refuse to integrate and instead demand that new areas be made more like where they came from) he is not, was never and will not be pro-2a. Of that, I am convinced.
And we need a real SCOTUS pick.
3 years ago during the transition someone posted a released Trump agenda for his Presidency. Up to that point we’d only had Trump the campaigner. I was shocked at how conservative it was. I said if even half of this gets done Freepers will be over the moon with joy.
We just moved to MS from CA.
My Gun Rights are fine and dandy. The Weather sucks, but you can’t have everything. #;^)
Trump is a common sense kind of guy.
Common Sense = Conservative.
Reagan was originally a Democrat.
We all have to find our way. Reagan and Trump saw the stripes and turned the right way while fully understanding the wrong way.
OMG I remember during the election cycle the fights on this site that Trump was a flaming liberal because of his political donations and parties he attended!! WELL he has turned out to be MORE conservative than any of us EVER imagined, I think Mark Levin is STUNNED at wrong he was about Trump!!!
He is a practical, normal pro-American.
Which is what is needed.
And why he is as popular as he is. "Let's do it this way because it makes sense" wins over pie in the sky ideology.
Let's not let people sneak into our country and get on our welfare system is a logical position.
Let's make sure our citizens have jobs before we import more people is just as logical.
Let's build and produce things our selves so no one can hold us hostage. Once again, practical.
Let's revise the tax code so people who made money over seas will want to bring it back here. So logical only someone disconnected from reality would oppose it.
Let us build up or military to defend ourselves and not to defend other people. If they want us to defend them they need to pay part of the bill. Seems reasonable.
Let's support and protect those intuitions that build community spirit and provide cohesion. Who would be against that?
They only sound "Conservative" because the democrats have gone bat crap crazy.
Trump is a right wing populist. What he isn’t is a conservative.
Democrats confuse him with Republicans. It isn’t the same thing.
RUSH: To so to summarize in the Economist/YouGov poll, Trump leads Biden by six, Sanders by 26, Elizabeth Warren by 30, Pete Buttigieg by 41%. This is not a preference poll. It’s an electability poll. It’s voters, registered voters being asked, “Okay. In this matchup, who wins? That matchup, who wins?” It’s not a, “Who are you gonna vote for, who do you want to vote for, who do you want to see win.” It’s what do people think.
I guess you have to be "right wing" nowadays to support such things.
Good points.
So many of these concepts were often couched in high brow sounding political theory words with reference to people that no one but poli-sci majors and political junkies had ever heard of.
I love Mark Steyn, a new article by him is like a batch of chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. I dive right in and emerge with sated with bits of verbiage smeared on my shirt.
But he is not for everyone. My uncle finds him unreadable. He uses too many big or obscure words for his tastes. He may plow though one if I send it to him, say it is important and provide a glossary as to what some of the terms mean.
He is not uneducated, it is just not something that catches his interest like it does mine.
Most people don't have the time or inclination to pick their way though political theory.
They tune out.
But tell them simply and logically what needs to be done and why and they will follow.
Why is Rush in his pajamas in the 2nd picture?
We have to admit he is atypical.
As a person, he is profoundly un-conservative in his temperament in almost all things in his life. As a flashy, gold-obsessed, vulgar, Manhattanite Playboy surrounded by beautiful women, celebrities, casinos, and famous for his dalliances and as a gossip columnist target for 3 decades.
As a President, he is unfailingly conservative to the point of being a rubber stamp on every conservative aspiration.
That is an unusual combination.
Mark Levin frankly needs to apologize, but I’m sure that will never happen.
REDEMPTION is a powerful motivatior. Kind of like a Victor Hugo les miserable story
