In Defense of Mitch Daniels

God Bless them both but Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin are dead wrong on Governor Mitch Daniels.  I’ve listened to Rush for almost a decade and Levin for several years now, and I enjoy them both but their commentary on the Indiana governor is counterproductive for conservatives and is based more on a knee-jerk reflex than an evidentiary claims.  What is more, they’ve lost sight of the critical question for conservatives as we approach the 2012 presidential election:  who is the most conservative candidate with the most viable path to 270?

For whatever reason, the talk radio giants have elected to mischaracterize Mitch Daniels’s record when it comes to the “social issues,” seizing on Daniels’s “truce” comment from last year.  Sound bites aside, as Indiana blogger Josh Gillespie…

Book Review: “Rush Limbaugh: An Army of One” by Zev Chafets

Rush Limbaugh:  An Army of One

By Zev Chafets

Sentinel.  229 pp.  $25.95

The good folks at Sentinel were kind enough to send me a copy of the recently published book, Rush Limbaugh:  An Army of One, by Zev Chafets.  I first started listening to El Rushbo about nine years ago when I was still an undergraduate.  So, as you might have guessed, I’m a big fan–a “Dittohead,” as Rush’s fans are known.  I tend to agree with 99.9% of what Rush says and I find his delivery and on-air persona hilarious.  This is in stark contrast to many including my wife who actually agrees with much of Rush says but finds his delivery obnoxious.  I find it endearing.

Rush Limbaugh, the St. Louis Rams, and the NFL

Posted by Tom Skypek in Media

What is there to say?  Rush Limbaugh got sandbagged by both the mainstream media and his business partners.  Whether you’re a liberal or a conservative, you should care about the St. Louis Rams debacle and what happened to Rush.  Rush was discriminated against just because he’s an outspoken conservative.  In America, anyone should be able to purchase whatever they want, regardless of political ideology.  I’m not a fan of Michael Moore, but if he wanted to buy the Detroit Lions he certainly has the right.  There is a double-standard for conservative and liberals.  You can read Rush’s recent article in The Wall Street Journal; he chronicles some of the more memorable remarks of the Revs. Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.  Of course,…
