This will drive some of you nuts, no doubt, some of you will cringe with discomfort, but Rush is exactly right in his recent comments. The first requirement for those of you who are not going to agree is to first listen to what he has actually said. Sorry, just reading what someone else said about it is not becoming informed.
First, this whole thing about the Dems trying to paint Rush as the sole face of the Republican party, and the comment, quickly retracted by Michael Steele, that Rush is “just an entertainer”. This was a condecending comment by Steele designed to be dismissive. I have heard this dismissive comment from many others. It takes a truth and twists it. Rush is an entertainING person, an adjective that modifies the noun. Twisting that into a noun, entertainer, dismisses everything else that Rush is. Rush is a political commentator, Rush is a genius, Rush is a flawed human being, as are we all.
Second, critics on both sides really need to listen to what he said the other day at the conservative conference. He said everyone who focuses on B.O.’s policy misses the true aim. People have only harped on lately that Rush said he wants the President to fail. He wants him to fail at turning us to a socialistic nation. So what? Isn’t that allowed? What is wrong about saying that? Were not these same complainers just 2-3 months ago blathering on about how the patriotic thing to do was to oppose Bush and the “criminal” war? And I’m not talking about the schoolyard patter from our side that says, “But the Dems wanted Bush to fail!” That’s childish. “But they started it!” Shut up. If we don’t want socialism to take more hold here, somebody explain to me why it’s wrong to say so? Rush said, if you listened, that the point of B.O.’s efforts were not about policy, it was about getting control. Few people seem to get that point. He’s right. It does not matter if these things work, I mean to them! It’s about anchoring millions of voters to the government trough. If Big Brother controls your life, the only thing they need from you is your vote so they still have their livelihood. It’s all about power.
