It's an upgrade, from 'Advanced Conservative Studies' to 'Advanced Anti-leftist Studies' Rush Limbaugh on changing his mantra to ‘anti’ In an age of ‘anti’ – we become defined by the enemies we decide to hate. We have an enemy-based President, elected by enemy-based supporters, opposed by enemy-based adversaries, reported-on by an enemy-based, drama-driven media, in an increasingly enemy-based society. Enemy-based means being more focused on and animated by who and what we oppose rather than what we support. It leads to great certitude about who and what to hate; but murkiness and inattention regarding what we are for and whom to embrace. Enemy-based leadership is in the business of destruct
