Yesterday Rush Limbaugh gave a speech at the annual CPAC event. I only caught the last 15 minutes of his speech but Rush was his normal funny, charming, and intelligent self. Rush has his faults just like everyone else but it’s a little annoying hearing liberals complain about a man they’ve never listened to, and know nothing about. In fact, most people who have never listened to Rush have only seen media hit pieces about the man. After the speech I did a quick Twitter search on Rush and wow, the lefties were up in arms. I guess conservatives should just shut up. Here’s a post from When I Write titled “Memo to Rush Limbaugh: Skoooozy!?” This is the typical shallow name calling post with nothing that could be considered an analysis.
“Rush Limbaugh calls on conservatives to take back nation” or something to that nature… I was in the mall reading it on the Treo, and I damn near did a back flip along with a cartwheel [i'm pretty large], so I’m just trying to get @ how outlandish that sounded coming out of his fat little puckered mouth.
. . .
What does he [Rush Limbaugh] think the last 8 years was? A tea party of moderation? I seriously would like to know how the right wing nuts all of a sudden catch amnesia [sp - I'm on my Treo w/ no spell check, so skoozy if there are any errors] when it comes to shoveling sh@t about how Obama is creating this big gov’t and how they [insert any right wing nutjob here] simply aren’t about that and are against that. It makes all too perfect sense because we see it year after year in politics. One side pretends to be offended and the other pretends to be about something. SAVE IT!
I’m not exactly sure what the second paragraph is about, but it’s worth pointing out that conservatives have had issues with Bush and Republicans the past four years. Bush wasn’t a fiscal conservative. That’s the most annoying aspect of Obama’s change mantra. He’s not changing anything. He’s taking Bush’s spending spree and kicking it up a notch. In 2006 many Democrats ran under the banner of fiscal restraint and won. The same happened in 2008. The Democrats had no intention of implementing transparency and fiscal responsibility. Now that Obama is in the White House it is a partisan political free for all.
you don’t exactly do “analysis” on your blog either. while you don’t outright resort to name calling, you do reiterate the EXACT same message as fox news. you present a highly ideological worldview = liberals try to solve problems with well-intended but naive govt. spending, conservatives are more knowledgeable about economics and business and the solution is to get govt. out of the way so the free market can help us all. an “analysis” would be to examine where this ideology works and where it doesn’t on a case by case basis. instead, you’re a fundamentalist.
How would you know what analysis is? Your comments are never on topic, they’re full of straw men, and you drone on about how “ideology works.”
If you could ever get past how superior your mind is and actually post something relevant then I might be more inclined to pay attention to you sociologist nonsense. Instead is the same old boring “yadda, yadda, I’m smart, and you’re a fundamentalist.” I’m sorry if I’m not impressed.
if you could ever get past your fox newspeak like “socialist” “utopian” and actually discuss anything with an inkling of independent thought, then maybe there would be something to comment on. the reason my comments seem off-topic to you is because i reject the ideological slurs that coat everything you post. there is no real topic to your entries, they are just advertisements for run of the mill anti-liberal rhetoric that goes back 100 years, masquerading as an iconoclastic take on current events.
