Paying attention is a matter of survival. You can see that in action on our roadways. Knowledge is also a tool for survival. Politicans are useless to you and I, on that we can agree. Awareness of them is not useless. You can choose to ignore them if you want but remember they are responsible for the death of at least a hundred million people within the last century. Most of those didn't pay enough attention to politics to have the knowledge needed to save themselves. |

I think you missed my point. No matter who this country votes into office it will be more of the same. Complete bullshit. Blame Obama, blame Clinton, Bush, Bush 2.0, ALL of them. Our political system is so fucked up it's beyond belief. Do you think my Senator gives a flying fuck what Thomas in MN thinks? Or Torqaholic in Michigan? Blow smoke up my ass, get my vote and promptly forget about the very people that put them in office. The system is broken, and I have NO idea what the solution is. |

The system is dominated by PROGRESSIVES, who are essentially base believers in MARX, and so THAT is why the R party does literally nothing, and the D party will certainly always have enough members in the SENATE to FILLIBUSTER forever and ever amen.....so even with 59 senators and domination in the house and the PreziDENSEy there is still nothing the R's can do to repeal that 60's feel good crap.... much less Nobam's commie care..... OR any of this EPA bullshit.... honestly, glad I"m nearly 68, I"m not going to see the end of this country, I feel sorry for my kids though, but not THAT sorry because they love the end, like to kill off their professors though.... |

I was speaking in generalities but yes, you can't prepare for something you never see coming.

Politics can't change the system because society has turned its back on the priciples this country was founded on. There's no acceptable solution, not everything can be fixed. I hear the economy can limp along another 5-10 years but the failure of society need not mean my failure. Armed with this "political knowledge" I can prepare. Planting 2 apricot, 2 plum, 2 hazelnut, and 3 pecan trees this Spring. Planted 9 grape, a cherry, and 2 paw-paw trees last Spring and they're doing well. Doubled the size of my property last year and have a large garden. I've got enough fishing and hunting gear to last the rest of my life. That's my personal solution. |

So it seems that Sandra Fluke is represented by the PR firm being run by Anita Dunn, former White House Communications.
It also seems that Elijah Cummings (D-MD) is deeply involved in pushing this issue to the forefront. Is this a conspiracy being run by the Obama Administration? They started the entire controversy with the Catholic Church and this seems to be just another Chess move in the game. While I believe that Rush's choice of words is incorrect and reprehensible, this all just has the feel of a conspiracy from the left. The deeper you dig, the more liberal, socialist bodies you'll find. |

"Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." - GW And it may come to pass that, the we may live to see another rebellion take place in this country. Thomas Jefferson stated: "The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong but better so than not to be exercised at all. I like a little rebellion now and then. It is like a storm in the atmosphere." I hope to never see this and hope that my children and grandchildren do not have to bear this burden, but day by day, it seems more likely. I do not wish for it. |
