seems to me that this kind of sad dust-up over whether limbaugh is or is not mainstream has already been dealt with.
as for ace's strange contention about "core beliefs"---the way you frame the notion, you're really talking about an essence or soul or some other such hopelessly befuddled and naive idea. i don't think there's any non-arbitrary way to distinguish "core" from "periphery" in terms of "beliefs" but i suspect that ace is committed to this new arbitrariness as a way to imagine himself morally superior to the rest of us, whom he would presumably see as all shifty-like particularly if us degenerates are contrasted with the manly resolve that is required to develop and maintain such a reality-independent political worldview as his.
