Limbaugh does occasionally think rather than just knee-jerking, though he does claim to broadcast with half his brain tied behind his back :-) He's not so much anti-statist overall as he is anti-Liberal; on positions where the rightwing is statist and the left is non-statist, he seems to run about 50-50.

he seems to toe the republican party line pretty closely, usually. there aren't too many actual conservatives out there, if you think about it. bill buckley. barry goldwater (but he's old). josh
