Linked here is a transcript to a recent conversation on Rush’s program.
A female caller named “Lynn” tried to challenge Rush on how horrible things supposedly were, and they became horrible because President Bush made it that way. Such is typical liberalism for you; all feeling, zero thought.
“Lynn,” for example, cites ‘factories closing down,’ and ‘people losing their jobs,’ which is typical Democrat fare in an election year when Republicans are in the White House. Recall Dick “I-Have-No-Eyebrows” Gephardt during a Democrat primary love-in, I mean, debate, when he thought he was being clever when asking rhetorically “How many people are going to have to lose their jobs before the President loses his?” Except there was one problem; he was asking this rhetorical question in 2004, when the economy was in growth mode.
It’s not as if we’re not facing economic challenges, what with rising gas and food prices – which themselves are more linked than necessary, which readers already understand, assuming they have read previous blog entries – but these problems themselves are a result of liberal policies. President Bush has diligently tried to get us more oil, which would help us with gas prices, but has been repeatedly rebuffed by Democrats in Congress since 2001 for two reasons: A, the Dems are very much beholden to environmentalist whackos, and B, their first priority is to deny our President as many political victories as possible, even at the expense of our standard of living.
But aside from that, the core problem with people like Lynn is that they’re operating from a false premise. Instead of looking to the government for all of the solutions, why not look to oneself instead? People are always better at solutions to problems than government anyhow. One can sense the quasi-despair in her voice as she tries to go on a tirade. Rush’s solution is a simple yet ingenious one; stop watching and listening to the Drive-By Media, who slant the news to try to put all of us in despair, thus vote for Democrats who will supposedly ride in on a white horse to save us. Franklin Roosevelt tried that same tac back in 1932, and this country in many ways is still reeling from his snake oil solutions.
