Rush Limbaugh: the Great Divider

I must be masochistic to even bother with the ole windbag but I guess it’s a morbid curiosity akin to slowing down to see a car accident.

He talks about ‘taking back’ the nation. Does he not realize he is, ‘cough’, ‘choke’, a part of this nation?

He obviously has a lot of followers since he has been on the air as long as he has. It’s scary to know there are that many like-minded people who tune him in. Personally I have a difficult time reading what he says, there ‘s no way I would listen to his radio broadcasts.

I have a suggestion, Mr. Limbaugh, how about working with the president, everyone’s leader, to work on a recovery plan that will bring this nation back to prosperity. That is if you can keep your colossal ego in check.

It will probably require an intervention, but if you can admit that Team Bush did a lousy job of running this country and is responsible for the mess we are in, then we can drop this bravado of yours that prevents you from being a part of the solution. If in one those rare moments when you allow the overwhelming truth to seep in past your defenses, even you will have to finally see that we got rid of Bush a little too late.

You claim that conservatives have not done a good enough job letting people know who you are. Au contraire, Mr. Limbaugh, for eight long years we witnessed all too well who you guys are. Say, isn’t this an admission by the ‘infallible’ Rush that Bush did not do a good job? Honestly, the Bush crew paved the path to dismantling the republican party leadership by turning a surplus at the beginning of his first term into the deepest deficit this nation has ever known. And the result has put you in front of the Conservative Political Action Committee pleading for someone to please take the lead of your parry. Can’t you recognize the fruitlessness in trying to find someone to follow those same policies that has derailed this nation? Obviously, no one wants to take the lead of a party that has failed so miserably.

It seems you guys are well versed in how to make corporate leaders richer and you certainly know how to go about protecting their wealth. But, if your grand plan of giving all of the money to those in the ‘upper’ income brackets really would have provided more money to be spread around to everyone else, would we be in the economic mess we are in today? The current state of the economy speaks for itself.

And what is this self-described "first national address" business? One would think you consider yourself president of this nation. I know it plays well with your ego to see yourself in this position, but you did not get elected as my president. The “fear, angst and crisis” charge you put at Obama’s doorstep was GW’s modus operandi and wouldn’t it be great to allow American’s back into a productive position by having your conservative bank buddies loosen their grip on the bailout money and allow it to fulfill its intended purpose?

It has been “historically shown and demonstrated” that republicans can dig us into a deep recession and then complain about how democrats don’t know how to correct it. Mr. Limbaugh, instead of preaching about how President Obama wants us to fear the worst so he and his pals can come in and save the day, how about you recognize that this is exactly what you want to do. Put that nonsense behind us and get on with providing some helpful solutions?
