Rush Limbaugh is a notable figure in the Conservative realm, he is very entertaining and has a lot of good things to say. The late president, Ronald Reagan even went as far as to call him, "The voice of conservatism". He has been called "the truth detector", "the dr. of democracy" and "the last man standing." I have listened to him for years and am a big fan for the most part, however, I don't drink all of his Kool-Aid, let me explain...

On his show dated 03-16-09, Mr. Limbaugh stated, "I am all for the AIG bailouts, and I am all for the AIG bonuses." When I heard this I couldn't believe my ears, my initial reaction was to assume he was pulling one of his sarcastic spiels using a ridiculous scenario to make a finer point. But that was not the case, on his show he went on to explain that he is a long time customer of AIG and as a result, he has preferred pricing. It all goes back to the "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" saying. Now, Rush may have been standing up for his buddies at AIG who may feed him, but the problem is when he did this segment he was in turn biting the bigger hand that feeds him (ie. the premise of Conservatism that draws listeners into him making him the most listened to talk show host in America). Later in his show he justified all of this by saying, "I figure, why shouldn't taxpayers bailout the company... I'm paying a bunch of people's mortgages out there. Fair's fair, folks." No Rush, right is right and wrong is wrong! You claim to be, "a man of principle" even though bailouts are not Conservative principles. When talking about the $165 million you said, "this is chump change compared to the waste and the fraud that exists daily in the United States government." This is my point, chump change or not it's still a waste of tax dollars and you can't go around supporting the government's growth beyond its Constitutional means and be against it in another. That's not Conservative, that's not right, which is why Rush Limbaugh is documented to be ALMOST always right 97.9% of the time.
