Rush the Ridiculous

You would think that with the country heading toward Great Depression II that Republicans would know better than to continue their lockstep marching to the drumbeat fo the damned. But no, the Neocon Republicans would rather drag the entire nation down than break with their idiotic ideology.

An article in the news yesterday said even the Republican governors in most states, presumably not Alaska, were pleading with the Republicans in Congress to support the recovery package. Will they do it? Of course not. Rush Limbaugh, the de facto Republican-in-exile president, says not to. He has said he wants Obama to fail, wants to bring the country deeper into a depression.

I'm tired of Rush Limbaugh jokes. Sure, he's a fat drug-using blowhard who's become ultra-wealthy by spewing spurious hate and bigotry to the unsuspecting lower 20% of our society, profiteering off their ignorance. I don't think it's a laughing matter anymore, though almost every literate American has at one time or another laughed at him. Except for that core base of Neocon Republicans who thinks he speaks for their party. And, in fact he does speak for their party. I used to say that there are two Republican parties: The party of racism, hatred, bigotry, greed and Rush Limbaugh...and the party of conservative Republicans. However, there are no legitimately conservative Republicans any more. That went out the window with George W. Bush's presidency, where conservative principles were abandoned in favor of the worst deficit spending in history designed to transfer the wealth of a nation to the nether regions of the upper class.

Apparently, the only intelligent, patriotic Republicans left in the country are the Republican governors (with the exception of Alaska). They are close to the people in their respective states and know that unregulated capitalism has, as it always does, failed. We don't need new regulations. We simply need to reinstate the regulations that Bush and the Neocons dismantled. And we need first and foremost to pass the economic recovery package and do it the right way so it'll work. As long as the congressional Neocons follow lemmingly along after their fat master, their obstructionism can serve no other purpose than to help any economic recovery fail...and that is the publicly-stated goal for the Fat Man himself.

Limbaugh should be very, very glad he's in America. In many other countries he would be imprisoned for advocating treason.
