    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    If you would like to have some discussion about the ideology Rush Limbaugh espouses, I'd be happy to engage on the subject. I expect you'd actually be interested in productive discourse.

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    You guess. There are two ways that people track who listens to what radio. Who calls in, and who responds to surveys. I know from listening to the show that one of those two indicates that his audience runs across all ages, though I'll admit I don't have access to the ratings results from...

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    1: Limbaugh does not argue for capitalism without ethics. It has long been a straw-man of socialists that all people who believe in free markets are An-Caps, Randians, or similar. Like most Conservatives at large, Limbaugh argues for Capitalism as an economic system, and Christian ethics for how...

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    Bull. You made explicit assertions: Then you tried to shift the burden of proof to me. Whether you're lying now because you forget so quickly what you claimed just last page, or because you're deliberately being deceitful, I don't much care at this point, you're clearly not arguing in good...

    Or it's a sign that I don't want to take the time to try to explain his philosphy to you, when I don't believe you're arguing in good faith. Your attempting to impute meaning to my words that is not there very solidly supports this decision. Interesting ideas or questions Trump was one of the...

    You're making an assertion. That assertion is 'His ideas are bad.' Substantiate this assertion.

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    I told you earlier in this thread that if you want a comprehensive take on his ideology, you can pursue that on your own time. You have in no way expressed understanding of his ideology. To the best of my knowledge, you watched one four minute video of him. That's it. You claim he preaches...

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    The sheer scale of your pretentiousness staggers me. Edit: Let me make something clear here. You have just ignored the meaning of my statement, and directly claimed that I have said something that I did not actually say. You are insulting me, condescending to me, failing to engage my point...

    He has a weekly audience of over 20 million. If you don't think that's had an impact, there's no point in arguing with you.

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    Massive logical failure here. You have no idea of how much further the Republican Party may or may not have drifted to the left if Rush was not present. He has been an active, aggressive, constant voice for principled Conservatism for more than three decades. Do you have any actual evidence...

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    Actually spend a protracted amount of time listening to him, or read one of his books, if you want a coherent ideology out of him, from his own words. As to advancing the Conservative cause? Breaking the left's total monopoly on media is a huge victory by itself.

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    That depends on how you define 'intellectual.' If you mean 'philosopher and profound thinker,' then yes. If you mean 'someone whose profession is to think about things and that's it,' then no. In some circles, 'Intellectual' is an epithet on par with 'communist.' In others, it's a description...

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    You listen to a four minute snip, of someone who is on the air three hours a day, five days a week, roughly 48 weeks out of the year, and you think you know what he believes? I've listened to him on and off since the 90's. He absolutely thinks for himself, he absolutely has a systemic ideology...

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    He does explore why the left keeps winning, you ignorant person. He also regularly talks about how to win, and as someone far more informed on the subject than you are. He actually does things like cite policies and strategies that have worked, and talks about why they work. The more you try to...

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    ...Really. Because one man hasn't been able to stop the political left all by himself, what he has accomplished doesn't matter? Good grief. Rush Limbaugh has a weekly audience of over 20 million. If we had ten people as successful as he is, that might be enough.

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    Well, it's obvious to me that you've either never listened to him, or haven't listened to him very much. That you'd make such strident statements about something you know little to nothing about does not surprise me. Rush Limbaugh is famous amongst those who actually know anything about him...

    So what is the flaw in Rush Limbaugh's approach?

    You might be only at this stage, but a lot of us have been working through the ideas stage for a very long time. For me, I started that about twenty years ago. Go read/listen to Thomas Sowell, Victor Davis Hanson, and Rush Limbaugh. You're just as bad as the hard leftists, acting like nobody...

    Good. That's the sort of stuff that makes a difference in the long run, if enough people get gbehind it.

    United States Professor David Azerrad Verbally Owns American Conservatism

    If your material is good enough, it'll break out of bubbles. The Left Behind series did, Christian music has history of doing so, and I've done so with my own writing. It isn't easy, but it can be done.
