Rush is Funny

"O wad some Power the giftie gie us To see oursels as ithers see us! It wad frae mony a blunder free us, An' foolish notion: What airs in dress an' gait wad lea'e us, An' ev'n devotion!" ---Robert Burns

I don't usually post comments about Rush Limbaugh or things he says, mainly because he spends the entire 3 hours of his show accusing Liberals in general of being the personification of evil and I just don't see Liberals that way.

I see them as idealists who stubbornly cling to the idea that a Utopian society is indeed possible. Not that Utopia is a bad thing, it just isn't realistic in my opinion. Nor is stubbornness necessarily a bad thing. Or idealism.

Jesus will establish a true Utopia when He returns, but no one else will ever accomplish that task, no matter how hard they try. I don't think anyone can be blamed for trying, though.

Liberals want better things for America and the American people. They want a chicken in every pot and two cars in every garage. They want the hungry to be fed. They want poverty to just go away. They want peace in our time.

I do too.

Conservatives want these things, too. The difference between Liberals and Conservatives is that we disagree on how to accomplish these goals. We all become frustrated when others just don't see things the way we do. Often times that frustration manifests itself in anger. It's only natural.

I have often stated my belief that Liberals, for the most part, are generally more mean spirited and hateful than Conservatives. They seem to me to be more likely to engage in name calling, personal attacks, half truths, lies, and biting sarcasm when people disagree with them. Some Conservatives do that, too, but not as many as Liberals.

It is an unfortunate progression arising out of a passion for equitability. I think Liberals are more passionate than Conservatives. There is an oft repeated truism among Conservatives that says, "Conservatives think. Liberals feel." That is just a rather offensive way of saying, "Liberals are more emotional."

I feel. I also think. Sometimes I just think I feel. More often I don't think at all.

Now we have a new appointee to the Supreme Court of the United States, Samuel Alito. He is reportedly a staunch Conservative. I guess I don't fully understand why Liberals and Conservatives are preparing to fight over his nomination. Don't both sides agree that the job of a Justice should be to read and interpret the Constitution? So what difference should it make whether he is a Conservative or a Liberal? I daresay the Constitution is not partisan.

I did think it was funny, though, when yesterday, Rush said he thought Chuck Schumer should have his own 24/7 news service and suggested he call it "the All Schumer Service, or ASS".
