   He was very good at his job. He also was very good at pointing out the problems of the USA.

   Wow, Malcolm, I never thought of you as so far gone that you would praise someone like Limbaugh…

   Hi Gus — it’s nice to see you too.

   Rush Limbaugh was an astute political analyst, a gifted entertainer, and an eloquent defender of the traditional American nation. He was unquenchably optimistic, and in contrast to those he skewered on the Left, he always kept in view what was good about the country he loved.

   Above all, he was a cheerful warrior, even in these rapidly darkening days, and even as his own life ebbed away — and he knew that the best weapon of all against the humorless Church of Wokeness that has done so much to destroy all of our institutions is the one that came so easily to him, and that he wielded with such skill: mockery.

   So yes, if admiring these qualities makes me “far gone”, then I suppose I am. But I think you mean something else altogether: that if a thinking person should look at the rotting corpse that contemporary Western civilization has become and find himself vigorously inclined toward the Right (as, if you’ve read this blog at all, you already know me to be), it somehow puts a person outside the pale of polite society.

   All I can say is: if that’s what “polite society” has become, then let it burn.

   I hope you’re well! Thanks for visiting.
