4. Rabid conservatives like Rush--don't live in the real world...

Oh yes, Rush would love a "culture war" because he's under the mistaken impression that there is this
huge contingent that agrees with his radical social views. The problem is--people like Rush don't live
in the real world. When you spend much of your life behind a microphone with a select few sycophants calling
in and gushing over your nonsense--you begin to believe that the entire world is on your side.

"Oh we could sure win a culture war! All eight callers today agree with Meeeeee!"

These radical weirdos all hang out with each other and forget that they exist in a bubble minority. Most of the
country is laughing at these fools over their bizarre stance on birth control and other social issues.

For Pete's sake--98 percent of Catholics use birth control. Do these radical conservatives ever peer out into
reality and pay attention to what's really going on? No, the spend their lives around other nuts--who give them
a false sense that their very backward, unpopular wing nut views are somehow mainstream.

Rush said it himself, the "Republican establishment wants no part of it." Damn straight. Most of the Republican party
knows that these people are nut jobs. Sure, they'll use Rush and his radio program--and his lemming listeners--to
cull votes from them. But that's it.

Rush is being used. What a sad, warped man he is.
