I consider myself a conservative too, Ace. I just see through the shit Rush peddles. Also, I wasn't calling all conservatives who listen to his show weak minded. Of course some are, just like there are weak minded individuals for every belief system and political stance.
No, Rush is not an entertainer. Glenn Beck admits to being entertainment, even embraces it, Rush does not. Just because he says something dumb, someone makes a deal about it, and he correctly predicts what the reaction was, that doesn't mean anything. "Good job, Rush! You guessed right! You win nothing." He gives out stupid remarks because he knows the reaction he will get. He's a troll and he plays people for their reactions.
You're saying Rush caters to his audience, correct? So if his audience's tastes change, will his views and opinions change with them? That's what it seems you're saying. That would go against your whole "stick to your convictions" deal.
