A place for me to pour out my rants without clogging the inboxes of my friends and family. Also a place to give info on myself and Mary, our family news and events.
This has happened before.

I listen Rush Limbaugh quite a bit, and he's always talking about how the democrats and liberals are imploding and failing and will soon collapse altogether under the weight of their own arrogance, ineptitude and lack of understanding.
Though I pray for the day when this prophesy comes true, I have to be the one to warn Rush and other people like JU's own Modman, who like to site examples of democrat implosion as well.
We've seen this before, folks....but it wasn't us, it was THEM!
Remember back in the 70s? A little thing called Watergate? How about the Vietnam War? Nixon's disgrace and resignation and the PR disaster of the fall of Saigon on Ford's watch? This led many liberals and Dems to feel that they had seen the last of Conservativism and the Republicans as a power....that we were in the coffin, and that they had slammed home the last nail and patted in place the last piece of sod when Carter slithered into office in 1976. The Year of the Bi-Centennial, for God's sake! What a slap in the face to the "patriotic" Republican conservatives. They smiled happily and thought they had it aaaall sewn up for good and all.
Then though, a curious thing happened....the Republicans found a champion that rallied them and called them to arms for the 1980 election....hell, he even turned some of the more moderate Democrats! Ronald Reagan revived our party and brought us back, ensuring 12 years of Republican rule, and the virtual hibernation of liberalism until 1992.
The Dems found themselves a champion then, too....a roguishly handsome yet mightily flawed champion with fatal charm and wit, to be sure, but a champion. They came back, folks....strong. Yes, we're beating them now, and they do seem to be tired, weak and staggering in the ring and unable to hold up their gloves, hoping for the bell; but all it could take is one lucky, good punch and we'd be back on the defensive. We need to keep our guard up and keep moving, ducking swinging, or else they could land that punch. It ain't over till it's over.

BUMP! Sorry.

Isn't Rush Limbaugh an oxycontin addict? Did he already get back from rehab that quickly? Hey since you like him maybe you would like Robert Downey Jr's views. Ever heard of him?

Yes, and thanks for sticking to the point of the article you liberal windbag.
At least Rush admitted he inhaled, though, right?
To compare someone who had a comparatively minor addiction to someone with addictions as pathetic and wretched as Robert Downey Jr. is just plain wrong. And to even use Downey as an example at all is wrong, too. Go away.

Wow, you like assuming don't you. How did I show that I am a liberal? Just because i asked if he was out of rehab yet? I didn't even state how i feel about abortion, shame I guess if you mention that Rush Limbaugh is an addict you're a liberal? Maybe you should marry Rush Limbaugh if he means that much to you. I heard he is single.

Well, I'm married and he has a girlfriend.

What are you, in third grade? "If you love him so much, why don't you marry him?" Retard.

I assumed you were a liberal because liberals are cruel and petty enough to love trampling Rush for this lapse. It's one of their many negative traits.

I trample anyone I don't respect whether it be Howard Stern (if he were to become an addict) or Rush Limbaugh, and yeah that joke was simple yet effective. Ironic that you call me a retard because you could have bested it but you fell to a second grade level with name calling. I hate seeing people like you kiss his ass when he is a pathetic human being. The guy is the epitome of what's wrong with this nation, a fat, overdosing, close minded, bigot, who needs to prove his opinion as absolute. But hey I will apologize for comparing him to Downey, because downey can at least act (somewhat). Although on second thought, you're not a right winger like McVeigh right? Cuz if you are I take it all back.

Yes, you're right; I suppose we should all stop listening to a biased man that's been on for almost twenty years, and instead listen to those who are totally unbiased, like Johnny-come-lately wannabe pundits like Al Franken and Janeane Garafalo. How about Michael Moore?

I will defend Rush's addiction problems against your petty attacks not because I agree with what he did, but because it's the right thing to do. You are a cruel and small person to use a weakness like that as a point of political assault.
Liberalism (if you are, in fact, a liberal) as a system of belief, with its emphasis on "freeing" people of their inhibitions, for example, has generated more paying clientele for rehab clinics than any other ideal.

Good examination of partisan politics, Rightwing. I agree with you, while the Dems are down, I see no reason to believe they are completely out. Yes, it has happened before, and will happen again.

Personally I don't see much difference between the parties and any other organized crime anymore. Both seem just as up for criminal activity to further their cause, and neither seem to care about the Constitution anymore.

If you ask me, both major parties need to be investigated for RICO violations.

enigmagnetic (or enigpatheic, whatever):

You know, I mentioned Rush once, in passing, at the very beginning of the article; the rest of it had nothing to do with him and no further mention was made of him. Rush Limbaugh and his addiction was not the point of the article.
You have concentrated on this in a lame attempt to do....something. I'm not sure what you're doing. Are you?

If you have something to say that is pertinent to the article, please say it. Otherwise, move on.
on May 18, 2005
No, I'll move on, because it's no longer fun. Nice use of my screenname, was it hard to come up with that one?

Thanks, PT2K...yes, in recent years, both sides have made an art of crapping on the Constitution, but I think the Conservatives are at least a little more true to its meanings than the Libs. Or at least to me, anyway.

As to RICO, the libs seem to be more into drugs and sex than the Cons, so let's drop a dime on them, huh?

Not...at...all. Goodbye.

Oh yeah...and he's not fat anymore, either. All those liberals around him in Rehab must have made him lose his appetite. It would me.
on May 18, 2005
wow for a minute I thought I was intruding on a cat fight... lol

yep rightwinger the dems are not out... the funny thing is I do not want to see the dems totally out either.. a one party system smacks of Saddams policies. We need both parties to check and balance eachother or they will butt----

even more than they already do... with no ky jelly either. lol

Actually, Modman, I would really favor three parties; I'm a Republican, and very conservative, obviously, but I do harbor some of the Left's notions, too, so I'm more of a Moderate on some things. A third party would open it up a little.
