As a huge Rush fan, I fully agree!
I will ALWAYS be a RUSH fan, but looking back at some of the lyrics of some of their songs, they really strike me as libertarians. Tom Sawyer and Red Barchetta have a upper middle class self entitlement quality about them. While there is something to be said for individuality, and valuing such, there is also a risk of ending up like Ayn Rand.
Trust me though, despite this criticism of there themes, I will always give them credit for their arrangements, riffs, solos and having the best drummer in Rock history.
