- Rush Limbaugh, who bills himself as "America's Doctor
of Democracy," and America's "Truth Detector," was full
of himself as usual, especially so after having been granted access to
the pontification platform and babble gavel conferred upon him by none
other than The Wall Street Journal's "Opinion Journal" online.
Staying on track and employing his renowned true to form obnoxious, noxious
gasbag approach, the Great Babbaloneyan of squawk radio didn't disappoint.
-
- In his Monday October 17th bid to take some of the pressure
off his Führer as relates to the Rove-Libby debacle and the poll declaring
62 percent of Americans now identifying with terrorists rather than riding
Bush's Fourth Reich to glory, Der Quatschmeister decided to revert back
to the simpleton siding of: Republicans good - Democrats and "liberals"
bad. Regrettably, there's still a majority of ignorant and stupid news
consumers who buy into to this blame game tripe.
-
- Entitled "Holding Court - There's a crackdown on
Miers, not a crackup,," [sic] the Great Babbaloneyan begins: "I
love being a conservative. We conservatives are proud of our philosophy.
Unlike our liberal friends, who are constantly looking for new words to
conceal their true beliefs and are in a perpetual state of reinvention,
we conservatives are unapologetic about our ideals." In other words,
it's "liberals" and "Democrats" who need to invent
words, re-invent words, and use creative wordsmithing in order to confuse,
confound, and fool all the people all the time.
-
- But what about all the wordsmithing employed by Bush's
USA PATRIOT Act, a highly complex set of cleverly engineered words by the
lawyers of the Clinton and Reno White House? Certainly the Great Babbaloneyan
doesn't expect US to believe that a president who has trouble articulating
his handlers, prepared speeches and enunciating his words, a president
who chokes on pretzels and falls off his bike and the wagon, a president
who is a congenital liar, was able to put together that great piece of
legislation on October 26, 2001, a mere 45 days after the September 11,
2001 "terrorist" attacks?
-
- And what about Limbaugh's astonishment and total disbelief
when former RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie told the Manchester Union-Leader
that Republicans
now represent big government, and that all conservatives, and that would
include Limbaugh, can either go to hell or join Democrats and Libertarians?
The editor, I recall, had trouble convincing Limbaugh of the truth of this
new RNC position; but in the fashion of a true partisan and sycophant,
it took Limbaugh less than a few hours to shrug it off. Gillespie called
it - Limbaugh caved on his so-called conservatism and his "philosophy."
-
- The Babbaloneyan continues: "We believe in individual
liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind
[sic] society and national security. We support school choice, enterprise
zones, tax cuts, welfare reform, faith-based initiatives, political speech,
homeowner rights and the war on terrorism." He fails to mention "free
speech zones" surrounded by barbed wire and guarded by machine-gun-toting
police, the open borders allowing illegal aliens to enter our nation via
the Mexican border, the permitted occupation of New Orleans by fully armed
Mexican troops and non-law enforcement mercenaries, and the other new and
unusual policies implemented and designed by the Bush regime.
-
- Hoping to dumb down his reading audience even further,
he goes on: "And at our core we embrace and celebrate the most magnificent
governing document ever ratified by any nation--the U.S. Constitution.
Along with the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes our God-given
natural right to be free, it is the foundation on which our government
is built and has enabled us to flourish as a people."
-
- Never mind that the Bush regime's adaptation of the USA
PATRIOT Act summarily abolishes virtually all the Amendments that make
up the Bill of Rights, and never mind as well the governmental "power
creep" that will eventually extend beyond suspected terrorists and
will eventually be applied to ALL citizens in America. Never mind that
the "liberal" judges of the Supreme Court, more appropriately
defined as the "Supreme Soviet," recently abolished one of the
three great attributes that identify a free human being, namely, private
property. Oh sure, it's easy to shrug off that communist power grab by
simply blaming "liberals," but where was the outrage on the part
of Limbaugh's beloved conservatives, especially Limbaugh's Führer?
What effort is the Bush regime undertaking to re-establish that right
for Americans?
-
- What has the Bush regime done to emphasize the conservative
objective of non-intervention in the affairs of other nations? What proof
can he offer that Saddam, Osama, Al Qaeda, or in fact, any Muslim nation,
was responsible for 9-11? All we have is the hearsay/heresy of the FBI,
the very organization that secretly and rapidly removed the rocket fuselage
under a blue plastic tarpaulin from the Pentagon site. Why did the FBI
remove the video camera and closed circuit TV in the gas station across
form the highway from the Pentagon? Why did the FBI ensure that all the
structural steel from WTC was quickly shipped to China and elsewhere before
any forensic analysis was possible? Why were the "Weehawken Five,"
with traces of explosives in their van, allowed to return secretly to Israel
to rejoin their Mossad unit? Why did the FBI secretly and immediately
after 9-11 allow a hundred or so of bin Laden's relatives to leave the
United States when this same privilege wasn't accorded to any other American
citizens or others in the country at that time?
-
- Sure, all these weird and unquestioned events have been
raised by the alternative media, the Internet, but these questions and
points are anything but weird and kooky as Limbaugh wants everyone to believe.
They are real questions, serious questions, and more than well deserving
of answers to the American people. Limbaugh's senseless prattle about
so-called conservative values might have been somewhat well received at
the time when the Internet was in its early infancy and America's primary
political enemy was a "liberal" and a Democrat. But America's
most dangerous enemy exists here and now in the form of a "conservative"
and a Republican, and no amount of pie-in-the-sky rants about the Declaration
of Independence and the Constitution can blind any thinking American to
the fact the Bush administration has become America's greatest threat in
all of its history.
-
- Limbaugh is desperate to re-establish the legitimacy
of a failed, "conservative," Republican president who is neither
a conservative nor a Republican! He is desperate to carry tainted water
for his supreme leader. He needs to help his Führer get Harriet Miers
on the Supreme Court! The Babbaloneyan appeals to America: "We conservatives
are never stronger than when we are advancing our principles. And that's
the nature of our current debate over the nomination of Harriet Miers.
Will she respect the Constitution? Will she be an originalist who will
accept the limited role of the judiciary to interpret and uphold it, and
leave the elected branches--we, the people--to set public policy? Given
the extraordinary power the Supreme Court has seized from the representative
parts of our government, this is no small matter." Huh?!
-
- "Will she respect the Constitution?" asks the
Great Babbaloneyan. Why should she? Has Bush respected it with the PATRIOT
Act? Has Bush respected the Geneva Conventions, the latter a feeble attempt
to civilize the inhumanity of war? How will American POWs now be treated
after this egregious bird flipping by G. Bush to the rest of the world?
And what about all the questionable and alleged criminal activities ascribable
to Miers, law firm?
-
- Bush continues to appoint, employ and advocate candidates
that have a questionable and potentially explosive criminal background.
One writer that escapes my memory offered that a high-level criminal goes
out of his way to surround him or herself with other criminals to ensure
their own stature as head of the gang. What criminal would expose their
criminality to bring down yet another of their own kind?
-
- True and loyal to a congenital liar who sacrificed 2,000
of our young warriors for no justifiable reason, and who orchestrated the
wounding, crippling and maiming of at least 15,000 others, Limbaugh offers
Miers as being desperately needed by Bush as being vital to preserve and
protect a Constitution made virtually non-existent by this very same president.
It is this president, Limbaugh argues, that now needs a fellow political
appointee of extremely questionable background, and also totally unqualified
for the position, that is so desperately needed under the guise of being
a constitutionalist, that which he has so vividly demonstrated he himself
is not. How does this make any modicum of sense?
-
- It is none other than Limbaugh who put me on the path
of questioning authority and leadership under Clinton; regrettably for
Limbaugh and the rest of the phony Republican Bush sycophants, I never
learned how to stop inquiring. How sad it is to see the success story
that was Rush Limbaugh degenerate to a babbling, propaganda-spreading stooge
that puts political gang cronyism before the well-being of this once-great
bastion of individual freedom.
