On Rush Limbaugh

Are you kidding me? Are you really serious? In an article I read on msnbc.com,

Republicans seeks balance with Limbaugh
GOP struggles to keep icon's conservative base while wooing moderates
written by By Perry Bacon Jr. for the Washington Post.com

Mr. Bacon (really) notes some of the recent controversy surrounding remarks made by Rush Limbaugh which apparently managed to offend many Democrats, and possibly alienate an already fragmenting Republican party. Hmmmmmmm where do I start. So basically the Republicans want to keep Limbaugh's popularity, and lose some of his "radio-active" antics. Talk about taking pork off the pig, Mr. Bacon. That's like trying to sell Spam as a healthy Snack. The very concept is Oxymoronic (pun intended) indeed.

Here's another gem

"Few Republicans are eager to alienate Limbaugh's millions of avid listeners." Don't you mean "rabid listeners". Listeners? Do people really listen to this guy? And I know the answer is yes? And I know that Professional Wrestling is the top rated show on Cable/Satellite/Cellphone/Porta-Potty Vision. Yes Virginia there really is a Santa Clause, But he is not this whiny, fat, bloated, hypocritical, mass of wasted oxygen.

OK, I get it. This is a difficult time for our country. We have a new administration. We are looking down the barrel at a lot of change. There are a lot of people for this new administration, and a lot of people against this administration. Or economy is in crisis. Yes "Rome is essentially Burning" so to speak; but before we can even begin to dissect or analyze the issues at hand, do we really want to turn to Rush Limbaugh for commentary? On anything? This guy has made a living off of whining and hypocrisy. Some people would call him a watch dog. I would call him an idiot. Some would say courageous. I would say stupid.

Honestly, I could give a flip whether you are Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian. At least do yourself the favor of listening to someone with sense. Yes there was a wise man from the bible who cried out from the wilderness. A man who ate locust and honey. However, there are also a lot of crazy hermits running around in the woods getting stung by bees, and frankly I'm not listening to them either.

Here's a test. If you listen to someone and all that they ever say is negative, hateful, and injected with venom (except me, of course), then maybe their view on life is a little skewed.

This is arguably one of the most critical times in our nations history, we owe it to ourselves and our children to be at-least informed.
