Limbaugh, Hannity and Levin are accused by the socialists of being water boys for the RP, and those who listen are characterized as minded numbed robots. Now the RP elites accuse them of being off the reservation as far as party loyalty and those who listen are characterized the same. Which is it?
Perhaps they are the voice of conservatism first and republican advocates second. Is this not the primary season? Do they not have the right and professional duty to educate their listeners so that we can make an informed choice? Where else do we have access to media that is not the lapdog of the government elites?
There are indeed minded numbed robots, but those are the ones the socialists call useful idiots. They think in the context of class envy and shared misery rather than prosperity and the sanctity of private property, including personal income. The concepts of individual liberty and initiative coupled with a work ethic that expects only an opportunity to succeed are exchanged for a system of egalitarianism applied to income and services forced by a powerful federal government.
Those who listen to conservative talk radio are the opposite of minded numbed robots. They are of the remnant of remaining Americans, the anti-socialists. The party elites would do well to stop insulting them. They are what distinguish the RP from the DP.
Why should conservatives settle for anything less than a conservative? Conservatism is based on the first principles of liberty. We should not give them up without being heard. We would do well to listen to them while we have opportunity. If the socialists have their way, their voices will be suppressed.
