Comments on: How Limbaugh, Hannity, And The Rest Ruined The Right http://belowthebeltway.com/2009/02/27/how-limbaugh-hannity-and-the-rest-ruined-the-right/ I believe in the free speech that liberals used to believe in, the economic freedom that conservatives used to believe in, and the personal freedom that America used to believe in.

The Tenth Amendment seems to have been written to preclude all of this. I asked Somebody Who Would Know at CPAC, and he said words to the effect that the SCOTUS won't support any legal action in favor of the 10th Amendment. If you read http://www.amazon.com/Americas-Constitution-Akhil-Reed-Amar/dp/0812972724 , all three branches of government are supposed to interpret/defend the Constitution, not the Legislative and Executive use it for a shop rag, while the Judicial keeps on navel gazing.

I DID, every chance I got. They railed against Bush and the Republicans over and over and over again for spending like drunken sailors and for abandoning conservative principles. If you had an ounce of honesty you would admit it. Quit reading articles by stupid shits who never listened to them. What you are doing would be like if I wrote an article about the World Series, but I never watched it, and I quoted some feminist who had refused to watch the series because it was sexist, and I took her word for what happened. You are so trying to be cool so your liberal friends can see what a good guy you are. "Wow, Doug is not such a bad guy! See, he disses Rush and Hannity!"

This proves what an ignorant POS you are. None of the conservative talk radio hosts that you cited supported ANY of those things in the article. Why not say "talk radio supported higher taxes, global warming and the NY Times"? It would be just as true, and make better headlines. You have got to be the dumbest MFer I have ever read.
