Success is its own reward. I don't believe it proves that Mr. Rush Limbaugh is some Night in Shining armor to save America from the Left. This is not a linear war of either/or, left vs right, good vs bad.
From the Christian Monarchist view I suggest that the struggle is between Christian Civilization and Secularism, which leads to moral depravity and chaos.
Mr. Limbaugh does not hold forth the Crown Rights of Jesus Christ. He advocates the dogma of the "rights of man". I would suspect he would keep good company with the likes of Thomas Jefferson, a social libertarian and free-thinking semi deist.
Libertarianism is a vacuum ideology. It is hard to hang your dream upon an apophatic star or a dogma of negations. Libertarianism is all about freedom, but freedom to do what???
Men and Women can only experience true freedom through the Faith of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Unfortunately there are no alternative routes to enlightened self interest. We live in a fallen creation. The effects of sin are all about us and the methods which people choose to kill the pain are varied, drugs, alcohol, sex, power and fame. Yet none of these remedies will satisfy the soul. In each case the dose to get high must ever increase.
Back to Rush Limbaugh; He cannot defeat evil by shining a spotlight upon its folly. This is a start and I don't object to his satire, but ultimately the question must be answered "If not Secular State Liberalism "Socialism", then what?
Man is a spiritual being. Turning us loose in an American vanity fair of physical delights will not lead us to the worker's paradise any better than the slogans of the soviet state.
Rush; Why not identify your core beliefs, if you have any that go beyond this veil of tears.
