Joined Rush 24/7 so I could send the following Email to his private account.
Rush,
I heard your monologue to your show today and you said something that left me feeling more alienated from my country than anything I can remember.
I am a retired U.S. Marine (02/70-02/90}. Each reenlistment required me to repeat an oath that swore me to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic." Too much of my life has been given to this oath, it was not service to my country or it's people, and least was it service to our govt. It was the willingness to surrender my life in the cause of individual liberty and freedom, to protect a nation governed by ideals born long ago and expressed by our founding fathers in that Constitution, that men should live free, in peace and prosperity, free from the yoke of oppressive govt.
Today you referred to the only candidate in either party running on these ideals as weird.
To find that the one achievement of which I was most proud, was done in the name of ideals that are treated with scorn and derision by my country, and people for whom I have great respect, leaves a cold and empty feeling in my heart.
I merely ask that if you cannot say something for Dr Pauls integrity, consistency, and honesty, that you leave me some sense of worth, some shred of the value of these ideals to hold to, then please, say nothing of him at all.
Respectfully Yours,
David Hamilton
