I am a great admirer of Tammy Bruce the US conservative author and commentator. Part of that admiration is because she has made a similar journey as I have had from the left to the right and I know and understand how difficult that journey can be. The other reason why I admire her is her writings have been quite influential on me on allowing me to see how off the rails and out of control the wilder shores of the LGBT movement and the feminist movement has become. These movements have gone beyond merely asking only for what is reasonable,which is equality, but have instead turned themselves into supremacist movements that brook no challenge to their ideologies.

He was gregarious & generous when we met. He shook my hand & I was shocked that he was nice & genuinely curious about my radio work and activism. I realized I was going to have a fascinating conversation.
There were many events during this time as a radio talk show host that changed me. It was my first job in the medium starting in 1993. My meeting Rush & our conversations made me realize the left had been lying to me about many things.
Rush was not a monster, he wasn’t evil, he did not mean people harm, he wasn’t a bigot, or any of the other smears lobbed against him by my leftist associates. I liked him very much, and while we disagreed on many things (then) he was nothing has he had been painted
