Political conservatism was actually moored to conservatism writ broadly, and was intellectually and philosophically coherent in in 1980.
Rush helped to change that.
Missed by the right wing's rabble. No one else.
Do you consider social media writ? How was Rush's spoken opinions on subjects like small government different than intellectual prose on the same subject in 1980?
Nobody with an ounce of intelligence has ever believed that "small government" is a realistic or a worthy objective. It's not an intellectually honest pursuit and neither political party has ever pursued it, regardless of what they said during a campaign. It's a fantasy. And all most of you ever mean by it is you want the government to do stuff you like, but not stuff you don't like.
Small government is at best a rhetorical flourish required to pander to the stupidest voter a Republican can hope to convince to pull the lever for him come election time.
I think "small government" should be replaced with "limited government". Government will never be small, but it should be limited when it can be.
You and I might disagree on the details, but I agree with you in principle.
Just not a voting issue for the dazzler. He proudly voted for barry because he was clearly the most fiscally responsible alternative.
Pseudo intellectual Gasbag informs us that the guy who shrank government employment is a socialist.
No habla gibberish. I pity your imaginary clients.

This is the Dazzler classic. Obama didn't shrink Federal government employment. First of all whenever people make this claim you always need to be careful of what they are citing. Often they are counting the military or Post Office workers as Federal Employees. In 2008 Federal Employment was at 2,763,183. In 2016 it was at 2,800,000. Besides, Obama didn't want people working for the government he wanted them on Food Stamps and Welfare.

That also doesn’t include federal contractors like the ObamaCare Gruber guy who bragged that Americans were stupid so they’d be able to pass it. No federal payroll limits for federal contractors.

Other than the guy H claims to have voted for twice in the 80's
As if Ronald Reagan ever did anything to shrink government at any level.
He was an adept politician. He paid lip service to lots of things. Unfortunately, in a Western democracy, it is crucial to capture some reasonable share of the gullible vote.
And you voted for him twice. Allegedly
Gullible is your middle name. RUSSIA
Yes. Twice.
He wasn't remotely like what you gals now imagine, though you were there and should know better. Alas, not everyone can age well.
I do know better and I'm not a pathological liar like you
I never voted for Reagan
RR was all about shrinking government and doing what government is supposed to do. Defend the country
What he wasn't was beloved or treated fairly by the slime ball media which is what I have been telling the GALS for over a year now as they got the vapors over Trump
RR never shrank a government in his life. It wasn't remotely a touchstone of his governing philosophy.
Sure
You GALS are always worried about a GOP dictator then whine like GIRLS when they aren't and go along with Congress and stuff
Reagan stood for less government. You didn't and you don't
You're a fraud and a loser. And a sucker
Reagan was a big government spender. In good times (California) and bad (when he took the Presidency).
That's not a criticism on my part. It's a big part of the reason the early 80s economic recovery was so rapid.
Ronnie single handedly broke the Soviet Union. Worth every fucking penny!
Neglecting the military requires rebuilding the military. It ain't cheap.

I was walking to class down greek row, 17th and a car stopped and asked, "Hey can I give you a ride so I can get carpool rate in the parking garage?" I got in. The guys asks me, "Do you like Rush?". Me thinking music first, said, "Sure!" (Thinking he was going to rock out on Tom Sayer or something). I then realize that he was talking about Limbaugh. I'm glad that I didn't make a Neil Peart comment.
I know, cool story bro.
I have a college story almost exactly like this.
Buddy and I were walking back to his car as Harry's Bar closed on lower Queen Anne. We were pretty trashed and it was about 2am.
A group in front of us was walking slower and as we caught up to them I overhead them talking about blow. It was 1 woman and 4 guys -- but I think most of the guys were gay and she started flirting with me. They were all in their 30s or 40s.
We all went back to the Queen Anne place of one of the guys and did blow. Then the woman invited us back to her house on Lake Washington (she was divorced and got the house). My buddy and I both had finals in the morning so he left. I decided to keep the party going and rode with her in her Mercedes SL 230 convertible back to her house. Some of the gay guys followed us in their care. At her house she and I start flirting more and then I realize one of the gay guys might not be gay because he starts to get jealous.
I win. The guys all leave. She and I boned. In the morning we boned again.
She had a salon appointment so couldn't give me a ride all the way back to my house on 18th so she dropped me off at the intersection of Madison and Lake Wa Blvd.
My final was in like an hour so I start jogging and hitchhiking down Lake Wa Blvd through the arboretum and finally a guy picks me up (this is the part of the story that is like yours @alumni94). I tell him I have a final in about 45 minutes and the prior night's hijinks and he says he is going that way so he drops me off at my house.
I grab two #2 pencils and one of those UW blue books for finals, and run to class.
I didn't do that great on the final but it was just a poly sci elective so I didn't really give a shit.
Harry's, Harry's, Harry's...Drunkest night of my life began at Telaquipaqui (sp.), proceeded to Two Bells, then ended at the Bird Bar after my 3rd Electric Ice Tea. Got home and passed out in the back yard after multiple failed attempts to climb the front stairs. 2 bruised knees and a sprained ankle later, around 4 a.m. and freezing my ass off, I crawled through the back door and all the way to the bathroom, hurled what remained in my stomach and passed out on my bedroom floor.
Somehow I had two phone numbers in my pocket from UW coeds I met somewhere along the way. Dated one a few times, but broke it off because chicks who date anyone as drunk as I was had poor judgment.

What? Rush Limbaugh? Never heard of him.
Tlaquepaci (sp) was like crack. Got really tuned there a few times.
God Seattle was great in the late 80’s/early 90’s. Not pretentious. Fun. Good times.
I already know the answer because folks on the Right hate all fact checkers. They do a pretty good job of debunking the bullshit their media feeds them.
You’d think that if all of the fact checkers were so horrible there would be an opportunity for someone to step in take market share.

What the fuck happened?
Nerd Invasion. Hot bitches started dating those fucks in the late 90s, cheating, of course, but still dating those fucks, who then invited their douchebag buddies to come join them in Seattle, and now they're everywhere, boring the shit out of everyone and everything, propping up shitty bars and restaurants that the market would've closed BITD. Basically drove daggers through all the shit that made the city great.
Multitude of factors, but all circling around skinny-legged, Low-T girlymen.

Yes I did read it. Did you bother to click on the links within the article where he acknowledged the short lived bit? Snopes covers their bases.

ObamaCare architect: 'Stupidity' of voters helped bill pass
Liberalism is a mental illness. They’re coming for you next if you disagree with their cult.
And just like their trailer park leg humpers.

Maybe it’s time you got to know the piece of human shit that was Rush Limbaugh.
