Rush on Trump’s maternity leave plan: Do you really think people still care about small government?

[ABX]

Welcome to the new age of the Progressive, EU Styled-Right Republican Party that replaces Constitutional limited government with an authoritarian daddy government that is here to help.

I’m torn between crediting him for acknowledging a painful truth and criticizing him for having apparently thrown in the towel on what should be the entire point of his show, trying to convince people that smaller government is better. “Do you think the argument over big versus small government’s still going on, or do you think it’s over?” Rush wonders. “And if you think it’s over, who won?” He doesn’t answer the question but the answer is clear. Big government won, or else the Republican nominee for president wouldn’t have spent his evening yesterday proposing a new health care entitlement. More to the point, if big government hadn’t won, we wouldn’t have Trump as the Republican nominee in the first place. Rush is admitting a simple truth here in so many words: Most Republican voters don’t view through the world through a sharp ideological lens, especially when it comes to economic policy. If you doubt that, go find a poll measuring GOP support for protecting Medicare or raising the minimum wage. There’s no getting around this. Big government won, even on the right, and Trump is the ultimate proof.....

There is no issue or topic where Trump is not a liberal

Rush also said several times today that there is not a Conservative on the ticket and wished there would have been.

At least he isn't pulling the 'Trump is the same as Reagan and Thatcher, the best Conservative to ever run... yadda yadda...'

Rush also noted programs like school vouchers and plans approved by conservative think tanks.

Well he finally said it much to the dismay of all the Trump supporters claiming that he is....

You get government money involved in homeschooling and you can kiss your ability to pick your own curriculum goodbye.

Rush threw in with the big government statists when he went full-in for Trump early on.

Now he is subtly throwing in the towel in favor of big government himself - in his own clever and subtle way so as to give cover to Trump.

Now he is just an apostate to everything he preached and supposedly stood for.

I will never again trust anything he says, and assume he is as disingenuous as the very people he is supporting.

I still care.  But then....I'm still a conservative.  And just because you're in the minority doesn't mean you or what you stand for is wrong.

Maybe Rush could transfer over to NPR. Sounds like a good fit these days.

Rush was also saying, there are so many handouts, to illegals, to refugees.

Hey, this is for people who raise their kids, pay their taxes.

Almost made me think of the dependency (children) tax exemptions.

I care and that won't be changing.
