Could you share with us a couple of those things you say Rush said that made you laugh and by laugh I assume you meant "were flat out wrong and preposterous".
I listened to Rush for years and the only thing I took issue with was his staunch religiosity. On politics, I can't think of a thing I disagreed with him on. The whole issue of religion is what kept me from claiming to be a Republican and joining the Republican party but as I grew and came to understand, that the Republican party was never going to install a Pat Robertson or Jerry Falwell type in positions of power, I put that worry aside.
The reason I call myself an Independent and not a Libertarian, is because I don't want to be pigeon holed into any party description. I share views of all three but mostly lean right because of one thing, the idea of personal responsibility.
What would it matter if every individual had a gun if they all viewed their personal responsibility to do no harm but to only protect themselves or those who can't protect themselves.
Holding everybody responsible for their actions is the only solution to all the problems we face. If you don't, if you want to give violent people 2,3,4 chances, then don't be surprised when they continue their violent ways. Let it be know from puberty, that you get one chance and one chance only at keeping your violent nature under control. If you can't, you will be removed from society forever, one way or the other.
Problem solved.
