Readers' forum: Case of sour grapes

There is a saying that if you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that howls is the one that got hit.
For an off the mark article, it sure is getting a lot of howls.
I used to think Rush Limbaugh was the devil incarnate because of all I heard about him in the "main stream" media. My husband listened to him, so I started to actually hear what he had to say. At first I thought he was an arrogant blow-hard, but what he said made sense. Then I came to enjoy his personality, to recognize the bluster for bluster, and to appreciate his sincerity. And now I have a son named Rush.
To people like Patsy: This is America. It is not a crime to make a lot of money. It is the American dream. Just because they make money doing what they do doesn't change their sincerity about the things they say. The reason they are able to make SO MUCH MONEY is not because they are convincing people to believe a certain way, but because they are speaking what is already in the hearts of the people.
Entertaining!
Yesterday, Limbaugh blamed the Ft Hood shooting incident on Obama.
I rest my case.
I can only conclude that they are, above all else, in the pursuit of ratings, money, and influence; I want my dialog from people concerned with truth, dialog, and good government.
I would say the same of the likes of Rachel Maddow (only she adds the additional insult of being shrill and a leftist).
None of these people are good for society.
From what I can see it comes down to 1 single question, and that is, who is going to be responsible for your life, you or the Government.
It isn’t enough that these people are so laughably ignorant of what Beck, Limbaugh, and others are really saying, but they can’t seem to resist exposing their own ignorance by making foundationless accusations and insults against them. Anyone who listens to the conservative talk show hosts, knows what they are about. We aren’t being deceived by Gale and his cohorts. The childish name calling from Liberals just makes the critics look all that much more foolish.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the Deseret News staff were able to recognize baseless liberal deceptions when they see them and thus spare its readers the annoyance of seeing falsehoods being perpetrated?
think harder,
think for yourself,
work just as hard if not harder,
be kinder,
be friendlier,
be freeier,
be happier,
have success and then share it with others.
Peace
Think harder: you would use logic, rather than feelings to make decisions. If you listen to liberal arguements, they are typically based on feelings.
Think for yourself: liberals attack anybody that thinks outside party lines. Look at what has happened to Joe Lieberman when he had thoughts outside of party lines.
Work just as hard, if not harder: here you are working, liberal social welfare policies do no reward working harder. See UAW benefits from GM and Chrysler, they don't have to work harder, they were given large chunks of those companies for nothing.
Be kinder, be friendlier: See liberal rants about Glenn Beck, or most any broadcast from Bill Maher.
Be Freeier: If liberals wanted more freedom, why have they pushed the Fairness Doctrine and Universal Health Care that eliminate choice.
Be happier: studies have shown that Conservatives are happier than liberals.
Have success and then share it with others: again conservatives give more to charities than liberals. Also, conservatives enact policies aimed at boosting businesses, which allows more people to share in the success of_a_company.
You get your information from the redshirt book of make belive.
Talking to you is like talking to my 95 year old grandfather.
You can't argue with these ignorant, but proud folks.
//Think harder: you would use logic, rather than feelings to make decisions. If you listen to liberal arguements, they are typically based on feelings.//
So, the emotional wedge issues like Flag burning, Terrorism, Abortion, etc... are not being brought up by the GOP?
It seems like everytime anyone tries to have rational discourse the Republicans or their talking head lackeys go right to a bag a of tricks that a 3 yr old would use... just say no and/or throw a tantrum.
Come, please. Even if everything you say is true, using such a loose criteria for assigning "blame" would require us to also blame gun-makers, gatekeepers, bullet manufacturers, Afghanis, Taliban, Bush, Bin Laden, Hasan's professors in college, his parents....I tire of listing them.
The only ones to blame are these: 1) Hasan himself, in the main; 2) possibly his supervisors who made such an obvious blunder in assigning him to that post with that job at this time.
You sound like the liberals that conservatives often caricature when you make blame assertions you like just did; e.g., white Americans today share some blame for slavery and owe reparations to black Americans.
Politics has never been so ugly.
Were it not for the annoyance of Liberal "mentality", there would be no conservatives vainly trying to make them see the real world.
And the ignorant audience doesn't even recognize it.
Limbaugh shouts at and hangs up on people and this is your idea of Limbaugh encouraging MORE free speech.
LOL!
Makes ya proud to be an American - doesn't it?
LOL!
Naw.
There are no crazy people running around loose in Utah.
Naw.
How about Romney?
How about Huckabee?
How about ...?
LOL!
You have no credibility, and your "herd" has even less.
I am not a Democrat!
I am LIBERAL -- i.e., Libertarian!
I think harder,
I think for myself,
I work just as hard if not harder than anyone else,
I try to be kinder,
I try to be friendlier,
I'm definitely freeier,
I'm absolutley happier,
and when I have success, want to I share it with everyone!!
You really need to chill out dude.
Life is a cheer of bowlies!
And I still maintain the Joseph Smith, the Founding Fathers, Jesus were all Liberals by every word of the REAL definition.
Nothing about donating $$$.
That is NOT Charity.
[just can not seem to be able to get past that love of money idea thing.]
I'll keep you in my prayers.
Peace
