Rush’s Shocking Admission About Conservatism: They Stand For NOTHING But Hate!

Rush’s Shocking Admission About Conservatism
JANUARY 22, 2016
Bill Scher

Rush Limbaugh made a startling admission on Wednesday, in the course of discussing the staying power of Donald Trump and the value of the Sarah Palin endorsement: “It’s now out in the open that the Republican conservative base is not monolithically conservative … that’s not the glue that unites them all.”

The proof of that is Trump: “If conservatism were the glue … then Trump would have no chance. He literally would have no chance. Because, whatever he is he’s not and never has been known as a doctrinaire conservative.”

If it’s not philosophical belief and positive ideas, then what is the glue? Per Rush, it is “united, virulent opposition to the left and the Democrat Party and Barack Obama.”

In other words, they know what they hate, but not what they like.

1. None of these assholes are conservatives, especially Rush. What they are is rich, greedy

assholes who hate minorities.

That is all they ever were.

True conservatives like Ted Olson would have nothing to do with most of these assholes.

It was ridiculous how Hannity and his ilk jumped on board with Arnold when a credible conservative was available.
