[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 1862512, member: 15253"] Dennis, My problem with Limbaugh is that he is merely a popularizer of other people's ideas, few of which he understands. Somehow he is a held as a champion of conservatism, when he couldn't even lick the boots of the real conservative thinkers of our time. I've read Richard Weaver ("Ideas have Consequences"), I've read Russell Kirk ("The Conservative Mind"), I've read Willmoore Kendall, and Friedrich Hayek ("The Road to Serfdom")--these men are among the giants of modern conservatism, real thinkers with real ideas of their own. Limbaugh is simply a clown standing at the foot of these great men, and he does not deserve the reputation of a champion of conservatism. Other men do, men far more intelligent than Limbaugh--men like Weaver, Kirk, Kendall, Hayek, et al. [/QUOTE]
