Economics 101 and those EVIL OIL Companies

So, B. Hussein Obama, the messianic, desires to give to every American, “when he says every, he means those Americans riding in the cart, instead of pulling it” a $1000.00 rebate to help offset the high prices of energy. To pay for this government largess he plans to pick the pockets of Evil big oil. I wish these democrats would pick an enemy and stay with them. Last month it was the oil speculators pulling down Americas pants and bending us over, now it’s big oil screwing us and without the lubricant they themselves create. As I contemplate my next scintillating QWERTY quote I am struck by the absolute idiocy one must possess to take either position. Look folks, this is such a target rich environment I’m not sure where to begin. Wait a minute, sure I do, let’s take on their last argument first, those evil capitalists’ speculators who not only want to drive up the price of oil, they also want to eat your children, especially minority children. I have some experience here and could opine and dazzle you for pages and pages yet, brevity being the soul of wit I’ll simplify what is actually very simple. Speculators are betting on the future yet cannot change it. Think of it this way, you bet on a football game, you are speculating on the winner yet, your bet will not affect the outcome of the game. This is what I do, make the complex, simple and the best part is the education I bestow upon you, my loyal readers is absolutely free. That is unless you choose to send me a check, please make it out to cash; and let’s keep the IRS out of this, shall we.

Let us now assail the lefts latest charge last, yet not least. Exxon-Mobil reported a quarterly profit of $11 billion dollars. What you haven’t heard is that during that quarter they paid $33 billion dollars in taxes. Exxon’s return on investment was 10%, well below the S&P 500 average of 11.5%. So, in all actuality they are under performing. Now, certainly $11 billion is a large amount but it is merely reflective of their enormous investment. If you deposit $100.00 dollars in a passbook account and I deposit $100,000.00 in the same type of account my profit will be much greater than yours. And, lest we forget, Exxon-Mobil is a publicly held company. Sure, there are a relatively few top executives at the top making fortunes but the real winners when companies show a profit are the share holders. Recently, the genius economists Walter Williams pointed out that if you took all of Exxon’s profits and the salaries of its top executive’s gas prices would drop a nickel a gallon for two weeks. While I have your undivided attention I would also like to slay another straw dog put forth by these mental midgets led by this big eared, Christ like, all merciful Obama. Oil companies do not set the price for crude. The markets, “or the buyers” set the price, after all, it is a commodity. These public pontificating posits are as preposterous as farmers setting the price for corn. The buyers, “markets” set the price. This is economics 101 and apparently the chosen one slept through that class when he attended the prestigious and pernicious, all exalted Harvard University.

And, let us pose a question; why is Evil, big oil, these money grubbing polar bear hating, child eating, capitalists being vilified by these leftist loons? Why choose them as a target for unabashed hatred and debauchery? Hmmm? Why doesn't Mr. Obama slap a windfall profits tax on sectors of the economy that have fatter margins? Electronics make 14.5 cents per dollar and computer equipment makers take in 13.7 cents per dollar, according to the Census Bureau. Microsoft's margin is 27.5 cents per dollar of sales. Call out Mr. Obama's Windfall Profits Police! At the same time, the financial services industry took in $498.5 billion in profits, the retail industry walked away with $137.5 billion, and information technology companies made off with $103.4 billion. What kind of special outrage does Mr. Obama have for these companies? Look these denigrations of Evil oil are simply vilifying an easy target and playing to the least common denominator. There are far too many Americans out there who matriculated through our public school system and either dropped out or graduated with a gentlemen’s “D” average. The American electorate has been purposely been ill educated and cannot grasp basic economic principals. I can remember taking both civics and economics in high school. Today neither class is taught in our schools. I wonder why?

It’s about damn time

At 6:00 local time, “Texas” Jose Medellin, Despite a International Court of Justice Ruling and a hearing before the Unites States Supreme Court will finally pay full price for the torture and rape of two young girls. I re-post this only because of its relevance, well, that and knowing he’s about assume room temperature and stand before his maker gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Thank God for Texas and may he burn in hell.

Jennifer Ertman and Elizabeth Pena were 14 and 16 years old, respectively. They were friends who attended the same high school in Houston, Texas. On June 24, 1993, the girls spent the day together....and then died together.

They were last seen by friends about 11:15 at night, when they left a friend's apartment to head home, to beat summer curfew at 11:30. They knew they would be late if they took the normal path home, down W. 34th Street to Jester, both busy streets. They also knew they would have to pass a sexually-oriented business on that route and so decided to take a well-known shortcut down a railroad track and through a city park to Elizabeth's neighborhood.

The next morning, the girls parents began to frantically look for them, paging them on their pagers, calling their friends to see if they knew where they were, to no avail. The families filed missing persons reports with the Houston Police Department and continued to look for the girls on their own. The Ertmans and Penas gathered friends and neighbors to help them pass out a huge stack of fliers with the girls' pictures all over the Houston area, even giving them to newspaper vendors on the roadside.

Four days after the girls disappeared, a person identifying himself as 'Gonzalez' called the Crime Stoppers Tips number. He told the call taker that the missing girls' bodies could be found near T.C. Jester Park at White Oak bayou. The police were sent to the scene and searched the park without finding anything. The police helicopter was flying over the park and this apparently prompted Mr. 'Gonzalez' to make a 911 call, directing the search to move to the other side of the bayou. When the police followed this suggestion, they found the badly decaying bodies of Jenny and Elizabeth.

Jennifer Ertman's dad, Randy Ertman, was about to give an interview regarding the missing girls to a local television reporter when the call came over a cameraman's police scanner that two bodies had been found. Randy commandeered the news van and went to the scene that was now bustling with police activity. The Media’s first knowledge of the death of Jennifer was seeing Randy, on the news that evening, screaming at the police officers who were struggling to hold him back, "Does she have blond hair?? DOES SHE HAVE BLOND HAIR?!!?"

Fortunately, they did manage to keep Randy from entering the woods and seeing his daughter's brutalized body and that of her friend Elizabeth, but they were unable to escape that fate themselves. Reporters saw hardened, lifelong cops get tears in their eyes when talking about the scene more than a year later. The bodies were very badly decomposed, even for four days in Houston's brutal summer heat and humidity, particularly in the head, neck and genital areas. The medical examiner later testified that this is how she could be sure as to the horrible brutality of the rapes, beatings and murders.

The break in solving the case came from, of course, the 911 call. It was traced to the home of the brother of one of the men later sentenced to death for these murders. When the police questioned 'Gonzalez', he said that he had made the original call at his 16 year-old wife's urging. She felt sorry for the families and wanted them to be able to put their daughters' bodies to rest. 'Gonzalez' said that his brother was one of the six people involved in killing the girls, and gave police the names of all but one, the new recruit, whom he did not know.

His knowledge of the crimes came from the killers themselves, most of who came to his home after the murders, bragging and swapping the jewelry they had stolen from the girls.

While Jenny and Elizabeth were living the last few hours of their lives, Peter Cantu, Efrain Perez, Derrick Sean O'Brien, Joe Medellin and Joe's 14 year old brother were initiating a new member, Raul Villareal, into their gang, known as the Black and Whites. Raul was an acquaintance of Efrain and was not known to the other gang members. They had spent the evening drinking beer and then "jumping in" Raul. This means that the new member was required to fight every member of the gang until he passed out and then he would be accepted as a member. Testimony showed that Raul lasted through three of the members before briefly losing consciousness.

The gang continued drinking and 'shooting the breeze' for some time and then decided to leave. Two brothers who had been with them but testified that they were not in the gang left first and passed Jenny and Elizabeth, who were unknowingly walking towards their deaths. When Peter Cantu saw Jenny and Elizabeth, he thought it was a man and a woman and told the other gang members that he wanted to jump him and beat him up. He was frustrated that he had been the one who was unable to fight Raul.

The gang members ran and grabbed Elizabeth and pulled her down the incline, off of the tracks. Testimony showed that Jenny had gotten free and could have run away but returned to Elizabeth when she cried out for Jenny to help her.

For the next hour or so, these beautiful, innocent young girls were subjected to the most brutal gang rapes that most of the investigating officers had ever encountered. The confessions of the gang members that were used at trial indicated that there were never less than 2 men on each of the girls at any one time and that the girls were repeatedly raped orally, anally and vaginally for the entire hour. One of the gang members later said during the brag session that by the time he got to one of the girls, "she was loose and sloppy." One of the boys boasted of having 'virgin blood' on him.

The 14-year-old juvenile later testified that he had gone back and forth between his brother and Peter Cantu since they were the only ones there that he really knew and kept urging them to leave. He said he was told repeatedly by Peter Cantu to "get some". He raped Jennifer and was later sentenced to 40 years for aggravated sexual assault, which was the maximum sentence for a juvenile.

When the rapes finally ended, the horror was not over. The gang members took Jenny and Elizabeth from the clearing into a wooded area, leaving the juvenile behind, saying he was "too little to watch". Jenny was strangled with the belt of Sean O'Brien, with two murderers pulling, one on each side, until the belt broke. Part of the belt was left at the murder scene, the rest was found in O'Brien's home. After the belt broke, the killers used Jenny’s own shoelaces to finish their job. Medellin later complained that "the bitch wouldn't die" and that it would have been "easier with a gun". Elizabeth was also strangled with her shoelaces, after crying and begging the gang members not to kill them; bargaining, offering to give them her phone number so they could get together again.

The medical examiner testified that Elizabeth's two front teeth were knocked out of her brutalized mouth before she died and that two of Jennifer's ribs were broken after she had died. Testimony showed that the girls' bodies were kicked and their necks were stomped on after the strangulations in order to "make sure that they were really dead."

The juvenile pled guilty to his charge and his sentence will be reviewed when he turns 18, at which time he could be released. The other five were tried for capital murder in Harris County, Texas, convicted and sentenced to death. The Ertmans and Penas know too well the awful things that they had to hear and see in the course of seeing Justice served for their girls.

Two VERY important things in the criminal justice system have changed as a result of these murders. After the trial of Peter Cantu, Judge Bill Harmon allowed the family members to address the convicted. This had not previously been done in Texas courts and now is done as a matter of routine.

The other change came from the Texas Department of Corrections which instituted a new policy allowing victims' families the choice and right to view the execution of their perpetrators.

Derrick Sean O'Brien, 31, was executed by lethal injection on 11 July 2006 in Huntsville, Texas for the rape, murder and torture of the two innocent teenage girls. News crews came out to cover the story of two bodies being discovered in a Houston park. O'Brien was caught on videotape in the crowd that gathered at the scene of the discovery. He was smiling.

If you aren’t ball batting your computer monitor at this point, you will. Joe Medellin was, “rightly” sentenced to death in 1993 and has had his case reviewed by the United States Supreme Court. His conviction and death sentence were affirmed.

Forget about the Border; I have solved the problem

Look, I solve problems for a living, it’s what I do. So, combining that talent with the absolute brilliance I possess and put on display daily, who better to put together a comprehensive plan that will finally secure our southern borders from those scofflaws swarming and swimming across the Rio Grande to the land of milk and honey only to take advantage of our, “too many” social services programs and suckle at the teat of our benevolent, bloated, bureaucratic, “hell bent on bankrupting our country” government.

Before I begin my foray into absolute literary genius I have but one question, for you, the lucky reader of this soon to be award winning composition. Honestly, don’t you daily drop to your knees and thank God you have access to my mind, wit and infinite wisdom. It’s okay to admit it, everyone does, or should.

Alright, let’s tackle this national scourge with fervor and together we can put an end to these backdoor break-ins.

First, whosever idea it was to place homeland security in charge of border enforcement should be water boarded with extreme prejudice, and more than once. It’s akin to putting Bill Clinton in charge of girl’s volleyball. Let’s put someone in charge of border security who would tackle this mandate with a vengeance unseen in recent history. The best part, the man I would appoint is an expert tracker, Ted Nugent. You heard me right, it wasn’t a typo, and we need Uncle Ted in charge of border security.

Second, the Rio Grande River these sneakers are treading in needs to be stocked with alligators, lots of them. Hey, this is nothing new, alligators have attacked and eaten Mexicans before, and “rumor is they taste like chicken”. When we see hundreds of sombreros floating down the Rio Grande and bloated alligators, well, we know it’s working.

One thing I should have pointed out earlier, I’ve been to the border, in several states and I was struck by the lack of signage. I didn’t see one, “keep out, no trespassing or private property sign”, how about one of those bright neon signs that reads, “No Vacancy” And this just came to me; it is as disgusting as it is brilliant. We get some poor out of work photographer, down on his luck to take a picture of Rosie in a tank top and thong. Then we construct thousands of brightly lit billboards with her picture prominently displayed with the caption, “guess what Juan Jose Lopez Guadalupe, all of our women look just like her, as a matter of fact she was last years Miss America”. If you’ve just finished a meal I apologize and would imagine you to be hugging porcelain and purging the contents of that happy meal, sorry.

Now, for you pacifists, terrorist cuddling, weak kneed, Kumbaya crowd I issue a stern warning and don’t be complaining later that a disclaimer wasn’t forthcoming and prominent. For you and you know who you are, stop reading at this point because I can guaran-damn-tee you will be offended, I’m just saying….

With Ted Nugent, “the Nuge” in charge of our back door, and knowing Ted and his love of deer hunting our border will become a very dangerous place for these country hoppers. I mean look, we have a lot of deer hunters in this country, real Americans. Alright, admittedly this will require even more construction. About every 1000 yards or so, we sink a telephone pole and hang a dear stand atop it. Hey, if these salsa eating, surreptitious, sneaky invaders happen to escape the alligators, ignore our signage and in some sick perverted way find Rosie O’Donnell acceptable and somewhat appealing, well they will now face our final line of defense, Uncle Ted and his swarms of dear hunters; locked and loaded. Listen up here, if someone is so foolish as to break into the back door of my home, rest assured this criminal idiot will achieve room temperature quite quickly and the coroner doing the autopsy on this home invading dreg with have to resort to using a calculator just to get an accurate count of the bullet wounds.

If we’re honest with ourselves these invaders are no different. They are breaking into our back door, that’s where the deer hunters come in. I’m betting as the bodies start piling up on the borders most of these interlopers will get the message. I’m thinking the smell alone might be a deterrent.

See what happens when a real problem solver commits vast intellect to solving the problems facing our country? You can thank me later.

His Lord Almighty the Messiah Obama

And it came to pass, in the waning days of Bush a man appeared. He was a humble man of simple means and the man spaketh unto the media saying, “Dost thy know that from this day forward to eternity I am your Lord and God, Barack the Obama, king of kings?” And the media rejoiced for their messiah was amongst them and they cried, “Halleluiah, praise be for our Lord Obama”. For the media knew that vanquished would be the evil Bush, enemy of nations and man. And life was good. It was then that the Obama spake again and said unto his media disciples. “Only the righteous among you may suckle at my glorious teat and the path to righteousness requires the faithful to go out amongst those who have not come to me as their personal savior and witness the path to redemption requires an unbending fidelity to Obama the messiah, thy Lord God”. It was then the disciples of the Obama swarmed across the land testifying and preaching the word of their savior. But then the most evil appeared and called himself McCain. And the sky darkened and pestilence, disease and famine swept across the land. Fertile women suddenly became barren, children burst into flames, dogs were sleeping with cats, Britney Spears put panties on, Paris Hilton stopped making porn movies, Polar bears started committing suicide, the evil Bush began water boarding puppies, grandmothers started smoking crack, cowboys began molesting their horses, nude pictures of Rosie O’Donnell surfaced on the internet, ugly people started going outside during the daytime, Hookers doubled their prices while decreasing their services, Jim Beam stopped making Bourbon, California slipped into the ocean, France invaded Alabama, Cuba towed Florida onto their shores, new cars rusted overnight, nursing homes collapsed, babies stopped suckling and went on hunger strikes, Congress went on a killing spree, televisions imploded, gas rose to $2 billion dollars a gallon, Nuclear weapons began to detonate, flood waters arose, fire rained down from the sky and the disciples of Obama said, “Lord where art thou, why have thee forsaken us?” And then he appeared, thy Lord Obama, king of kings. And with a wave of his messianic hand the world was right again. Hookers lowered their prices, Britney Spears took off her panties and those Paris Hilton videos, “that I’ve never watched” Wink-wink, once again began to appear on those porn sites that I never visit. I know what you’re thinking, How do I know they’ve reappeared if I don’t frequent those sites? Hey, it was simply research, mind your own business. Where was I? Oh, and saint Obama his holiness cured all of the worlds ills and banished the evil McCain to France, where he began doing French male pattern baldness commercials. And all was well with the world. That is until Obama the most merciful lost the deed to America in a crap game with Canada, I’m just saying……

Our Lord and God Obama; Just Another Socialist

During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. "I've been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served," he said at the group's 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.

For the unwashed, non-participating, Joe six-pack let me explain what the messiah is offering, unadulterated socialism. Economic Justice, are you kidding? So, I make more money than you because I went to college and spent four years busting my ass while you rat holed up in your mommy’s basement drinking beer and inventing bongs, this is unfair? Enter John Stossel; “Give me a break”.

Among other Obama edicts from the mount are;

• "Universal," "guaranteed" health care.

• "Free" college tuition.

• "Universal national service" (a la Havana).

• "Universal 401(k)s" (in which the government would match contributions made by "low- and moderate-income families").

• "Free" job training (even for criminals).

• "Wage insurance" (to supplement dislocated union workers' old income levels).

• "Free" child care and "universal" preschool.

• More subsidized public housing.

• A fatter earned income tax credit for "working poor."

• And even a Global Poverty Act that amounts to a Marshall Plan for the Third World, first and foremost Africa.

His new New Deal also guarantees a "living wage," with a $10 minimum wage indexed to inflation; and "fair trade" and "fair labor practices," with breaks for "patriot employers" who cow-tow to unions, and sticks for "nonpatriot" companies that don't. (Source IBD)

Pretty damn ambitious, even for Obama the messianic. So, let's take these one at a time shall we. Someone show me in our sacred constitution where your right to healthcare, paid for by your neighbors, is enshrined? Didn’t think so.

Free, guaranteed college education? Ditto response, there is no free, colleges will be paid and guess what taxpayers, the government doesn’t have a damn single dime, they produce nothing. What they do have is the ability to throw you in prison if you fail to pony up what they have decided is your fair share of the burden. Therefore, let’s stop this free descriptor right here, right now.

Universal 401K’s? Didn’t Bush try to privatize Social Security and the democratic response was, “it’s not broken”, apparently our Lord God Obama thinks it is. And, look, insomuch as free job training for criminals; they get that in prison, they learn how to be better criminals.

Wage insurance? Isn’t that just another term for unemployment insurance, which, by the way, we already have.

And lets make this perfectly clear, you women out there, married or unmarried, you’re free to pop out as many crumb crunchers as you want, yet, it is your, “and your spouse/partners responsibility to take care of them, incur all of the expense and not come hat in hand to me to support your kids when I did not participate in creating them.

Let’s talk about his intention to increase funding for public housing. My response would be simple and direct. Hell no, poverty should not be comfortable. I’m not talking about those disabled and unable to work. I’m talking about these welfare moms popping out eight kids by eight different men and then asking us to provide them not only nourishment but also an abode. People must be held responsible for their decisions in life and subsidizing stupidity only ensures you’ll have more of it.

Moving on to the expansion of the earned income credit, an oxymoron if I ever heard one. These people haven’t earned a damn thing, they’ve only taken. They now get thousands of dollars back in the form of income tax when they actually paid no tax at all. Let me repeat this, the government has no money, they simply take it from us and give it to these under performers, again, making poverty comfortable instead of encouraging people to better themselves. Again, we are rewarding failure.

The scariest proposal of King, our Lord Obama is his global poverty act, I’ll gladly explain so even you liberals in the audience can understand. His plan is to tax us into submission and redistribute that wealth to impoverished countries. The only adjective as a response that I can think of is total idiocy. What in fact Obama’s plan will do is give these countries a fish instead of teaching them how to fish. If you really want to help third world countries export to them freedom, capitalism, free trade and industrialization. I would comment on Obama’s plan to increase the minimum wage to $10.00 and hour but that plan is so pandering and demeaning to my intelligence I’ll simply pass. However, I would ask but one question of you democrats feverishly typing personal attacks instead of debating my premises, this guy is the best you can do?

Liberalism Cannot Be Defended; I Dare You to Try

Just recently, on this forum, two questions were posited for the answer and perusal of those participants whose chose to participate. They were prescient questions deserving of an intelligent, thoughtful response. The two questions in question were these; what is a liberal and what is a conservative? The poster asked for well thought out, specific descriptions of the opposite ends of the political spectrum. As expected, as usual, I not only stepped up to the plate, I knocked it out of the park. I put on a blinding brilliance of literary composition rarely seen in human endeavor. {See my response below}

However, not one little, Lilliputian, liberal lackey bucked up, took the stage and dared to proffer a positive portrayal of the affliction that is modern liberalism. And, I think I know why. It would be much akin to pointing out the benefits of cancer.

Liberalism has no basis in fact, reason or sanity. It is unrealistic, antithetic to the principals and values this country was founded upon and requires the willing suspension of disbelief, “sound familiar?”

Liberals claim to believe in our constitution and deride George W. Bush for violating it by, “torturing” detainees currently living the good life at the renowned vacation retreat in the tropical paradise lovingly referred to as club Gitmo.

Yet liberals are nuanced in their devotion to the constitution that we conservatives consider sacrosanct. They ignore section two and enumerated powers; they are blind to the tenth amendment limiting federal authority to only those enumerated powers.

If they were honest with themselves, “not bloody likely” they would admit this one truism that is the wooden stake in the heart of Looney liberalism, it is the silver bullet, the Ark of the Covenant. Our founders were conservative. This is inarguable and unassailable. This country was founded on the principals of conservatism and our founding documents reflect that without doubt. It’s all there, in the words of those brave men whom born this country. Read them, learn them and then if you dare, argue your liberal point of view and open yourself up to be rhetorically dragged behind my smoke belching SUV, flailing in you flawed ideology. So, let’s just light this firecracker, you lose. Liberalism is a false premise and cannot be defended, that’s why no one even tried. Liberalism is simply an ideology converted to raw emotion without a valid premise. So, I’ll put forth again the offer no liberal would take. Explain liberalism and do so succinctly and with passion, with this one required caveat. You can’t use George Bush as your whipping boy to explain your ideology. Be cogent, concise and thorough. Convince us, we the people that you liberals can put this country on the yellow brick road, take your best shot. I’m just guessing there will be no reply.

My reply to the posited question; simply put, conservatives believe in lower taxes, smaller government and personal freedoms. With personal freedoms we also expect personal responsibility. We know that our constitution does not have any language that separates church and state. We believe as Ronald Reagan did that government is not the solution to our problems but that big government is the problem. We believe in American exceptionalism and manifest destiny. We hail Ronald Reagan as one of our greatest presidents and ask ourselves what we can do for our country. We believe in God. We believe there is no moral relativism between us and terrorist. We believe that capitalism is simply freedom to engage in commerce. We believe the United States Constitution to be the greatest document ever conceived and consider it sacrosanct. We believe that this country offers more possibilities to it’s citizenry than any other country in the history of time. We believe that any citizen can go as far in this country as their aptitude, ambition and energy will take them. We believe that all men and women are created equal, but not the same. We believe the people should decide issues of social policy and not a judge or judges. We believe in personal property rights. We believe in law and order and demand that those who break our laws pay full price. We believe we have dominion over the earth and a responsibility to it. Conservatives are eternal optimists, because we believe.

Mr. Rush Hudson Limbaugh

You may know this; you may not, doesn’t matter, because that’s what I’m here for, to inform and educate you, my loyal masses. In the blogosphere, on the airwaves and even in some of the mainstream media this is Rush Limbaugh week. Most liberals will stop reading at that last sentence yet they do so out of ignorance and petulance. This week Rush completes his twentieth year on the air with an audience of 22 million listeners weekly. Take that MSNBC.

Modern day conservatism began with Barry Goldwater, was expanded by William F. Buckley Jr. and blossomed with the great Ronald Reagan. Yet, Rush made conservatism a movement, an ideology and with prescient, positive, humorous daily content he has wrested the monopoly formerly enjoyed by the mainstream, lapdog media and turned what was a liberal media monologue into a national debate. And, at debating public policy Rush has no equal. He has total command of every subject and explains conservatism in a way most Americans who have matriculated through our addled public school system can understand. I’m convinced; “as he so often reminds us” that he does indeed have talent on loan from God.

Rush hit the radio waves in 1985 on a local station in San Diego, California. Almost immediately his wit, brevity and talent made possible his move to syndication in 1988 and today is carried on over six hundred American radio stations and a few overseas, “pirated” broadcasters.

Even as you liberals cringe and tear up you mental midgets have to admit, Rush is the king of talk radio.

Early in the 1980’s AM talk radio was dieing. All that was left was to throw dirt on the casket. There was even a theory being floated that the AM band should be transferred to law enforcement. Then Rush Limbaugh, Maha-Rushie stepped up. Not only did he single handedly save an entire industry he paved the way for Sean Hannity, Michael Savage, Mark Levin, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Michael Gallagher, etc, etc.

What I find most disheartening is this; a full half of the country hates him and, “as studies have shown” a large percentage of those, “Rush deniers” don’t listen to his program. Rush is an unabashed conservative. He believes in the principals this country was founded upon, he considers our constitution sacrosanct and expounds American exceptionalism. Yet, from the left, he is painted as a racist, sexist, bigoted homophobe when nothing could be further from the truth. This is done to marginalize Rush as a right-wing kook and remove him from the national debate. Guess what folks, I repeat, 22 million listeners a week. Let’s just simplify this for you liberal rubes, Rush is the guy, he is our conservative oracle and the sad part is this; Rush has more sunsets behind him than he does sunrises ahead of him. I can just imagine the liberal content upon the death of this great man and it sickens me. Rush should be included with Washington, Jefferson, Adams and Franklin, and, lest we forget, Mr. Reagan. This country, our founders, our constitution couldn’t have been an accident, it had to have been ordained by our creator, and in my humble opinion God put Rush on this earth to do what he so brilliantly does, tell the truth and do so with wit and brevity.
