You know something? I’ve got a good friend of mine, (We’ll call him
“Chris”, mainly because that’s his name.), who is an intelligent
conservative. (Contrary to popular belief, I don’t believe that term to
be an oxymoron.) Chris believes that Rush Limbaugh is a staunch liberal
Democrat who is masquerading as a ultra-conservative Republican simply
to make ultra-conservative Republicans look like completely
mindless jackasses.
If that is the talk show host’s goal, then he is a raging success!!!!!
A young woman by the name of Sandra Fluke, who is a student at
Georgetown University, spoke to congress last week in support of
President Obama’s health legislation that funds contraception.
Rush Limbaugh called the woman a slut, a prostitute, and went as far
as to suggest that she tape her sexual activities and post them on the
internet so that we all can see them, since she thinks that we should
all help pay for them. Limbaugh said that, if a woman takes advantage of
the new proposed health care law, she is insisting that the public pay
her for having sex. Thus, every woman who does that is a prostitute and a
slut.
Isn’t it sad that we have come to this! In this great nation, a
citizen gets publicly chastised and personally attacked for the sake or
ratings on a talk show (which translates into commercial dollars) just
for stating his or her beliefs!
130 faculty members of Georgetown University and the president of the
University, signed a letter in support of Ms. Fluke. (Georgetown, by
the way, is a Catholic university run by The Jesuits. Aren’t these some
of the people who are supposed to be so deeply offended by the new
proposed health care legislation?)
And all of this posturing and pontificating is being done by a
hypocrite who for years slammed illegal drug users and the public
programs set up to help them, while he himself was breaking the law by
illegally doctor-shopping in order to obtain Oxycodone for his illegal
drug habit!!!!
Intelligent people debate openly by using facts. Immature idiots do
it by calling their opponents names. Kind of like the kindergartner who
gets angry at his friend and calls him, “Poop face!!!”
Amazing!
President Obama came out and strongly condemned Limbaugh’s words. He
also called Ms. Fluke to apologize for the unwarranted and childish,
(and, in my mind, totally unAmerican) attack that she suffered while
standing up for what she believes in.
So we know where the President stands on the subject. He has made bold statements on it.
What about Gingrich, Romney, Paul and Santorum? Do they believe that
all women who use the new law are sluts and prostitutes? These folks
stalwart Americans, who make BIG talk about standing up for the
Constitution and the Constitutional rights of every American, are
keeping strangely quiet on the subject.
I wonder why?
Maybe, just maybe, it is because that they want the women’s vote in
the upcoming election, and they also want the Tea Party vote. I don’t
think they can have both. I think it’s time that they put their money
where their big mouths are and make a statement one way or another,
don’t you? (We know where Newt stands on moon colonies; how about
finding out how he feels about a fellow citizen being called a
prostitute and slut just because she stood up and voiced her opinion on
an issue?
As a dyed-in-the-wool liberal, I would like to personally thank Mr.
Limbaugh for aiding in the re-election efforts of the President. If I
were Obama, I would send Mr. Limbaugh a thank you card and a case of
Oxycodone.
Also, I think I am going to listen Mr. Limbaugh’s radio program next
week and make a list of all of his advertisers…so that I can boycott
their products.
Hey! It’s my right as a citizen. It’s the American Way, right? In
that light, the Tea Partiers should be in favor of my actions, and
yours, if you’ll join me, because of that fact!
Right?
Wow ! Maybe I AM a libertarian after all!
