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.
