So it was "Plan See I told you so"

So it wasn't Plan A, or Plan B. It was Plan "See I told you so". (Wish I could take credit for that, but that's the intellectual property of Rush, and his book by the similar name).

Anyway, as I've already gone through in the last post, that "Boehner plan" was just the vehicle for the Senate watering down of everything, and here we are, with that "great and wonderful" deal passed and the stock market is tanking by 250 plus points. Must be great, eh?

Just more of the same. No cuts this year, no cuts next year, and promises to cut miniscule amount starting in 2013 that will never materialize. Except maybe the military gutting part. The left wing radicals love gutting the military.

And of course we have the Ministry of Truth (otherwise known as the media such as the NY Times and Washington Post) running around saying this was a victory for the TEA party and fiscal conservatives while at the same time using the same inflammatory rhetoric like calling the fiscally sane among us terrorists and hostage takers showing their outrage that the hard left wasn't able to get even MORE tax increases on top of the massive Obamacare taxes slated to begin soon enough to run business even further into the ground. Meanwhile the EPA and other agencies are busy spitting out regulation after regulation shutting down power plants and coal mines and many other businesses under the radar.

The only sane people in this country left are those that are aligned with groups like the TEA party for spending cuts, baseline budgeting reform, and deregulation. While it's true that there's tens of millions of people already on the team, it's unfortunate that there's not nearly enough representation in Congress to reflect this large number of people. I just hope the weak and feckless leadership of the Republican party hasn't undermined the momentum of the movement. But from what I've seen, anger is dwarfing apathy, and there's going to be a lot of Republicans paying a huge price in the next Congressional elections. And I'll be just one of many of those people working to those ends.

Why the LA Times is a Joke

Continuing on in my "Why the Liberal Rags are a Joke" series, today we'll examine a posted in the LA Times blog section by a "veteran columnist" by the name of Andrew Malcolm.

Andrew Malcolm has obviously never heard of sarcasm before and is unable to identify it when it is slapping him right in the face. He wants to take a sarcasm laced segment by Rush Limbaugh on Obama getting all the credit for the successful termination of Bin Laden, and pretend it was serious in what I must believe an attempt to show how wrong Limbaugh has been about Obama all this time. Pretty hilarious that these people live in such La-la land reality to them is beyond their comprehension.

The link: here.

And just because this is such an easy example of why the LA Times is a joke and will probably disappear, I've saved the text:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rush Limbaugh began his radio show Monday morning praising President Obama for his leadership in the demise of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

In his nationally syndicated radio show, Limbaugh who has been one of Obama's fiercest critics, gave the commander-in-chief all the glory in the successful mission that ended the life of Public Enemy No. 1.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we need to open the program today by congratulating President Obama," Limbaugh said. "President Obama has done something extremely effective and when he does, this needs to be pointed out. President Obama has continued the Bush policies of keeping a military presence in the Middle East. He did not scrub the mission to get Bin Laden. In fact, it may be that President Obama single-handedly came up with the technique in order to pull this off."

Limbaugh, who has recently criticized the first lady's figure, said in 2009 that he hopes Mr. Obama fails, and complained last year about Americans donating to the post-earthquake humanitarian relief in Haiti, continued about Bin Laden: "You see the military wanted to go in there and bomb. They always do. They wanted to go in there and drop missiles and launch bombs. A number of totally destructive techniques here. But President Obama, perhaps the only qualified member in the room to deal with this, insisted on the Special Forces. No one else thought of that. President Obama. Not a single intelligence adviser, not a single national security adviser, not a single military adviser came up with the idea of using SEAL Team 6 or any Special Forces," Limbaugh said, with what some are saying is a slight tinge of sarcasm in his delivery.

"Our military wanted to go in there and just scorch the earth," Limbaugh continued, "but President Obama single-handedly understood what was at stake here. He alone understood the need to get DNA to prove the death ... it was President Obama single-handedly and alone who came up with the strategy that brought about the effective assassination of Osama bin Laden," the radio host said, concluding, "Thank God for President Obama."

Two Questions for the Readers

1) What do you think of Rush Limbaugh?

and

2) Have you formed this opinion by actually listening to him at least once, or have you formed that opinion through listening to what morons like Andrea Mitchell say?

Everyone I talk to on a daily basis I ask this now whenever the conversation steers remotely toward politics. And the two answers I inevitably get from liberals are

1) Oh he [sucks, is the devil, is the biggest racist ever]

and

2) Uh well no I haven't listened to him by why would I want to listen to his hate speak? I hear enough of it second hand. (Or some other very similar response).

And of course since last week everyone is raving about how he supposedly put the idea of segregating school buses after a bunch of black kids attacked a white kid on a school bus.

Except as usual people get worked up over what the liberal media decides to report to them. Too bad the segregated buses thing was part of a sarcastic play on a Newsweek article that basically said that all white babies are racist by six months old.

So anyway, after asking these questions to people, and #2 is no they have never listened, I challenge them to do so at least one day that week. I know that total lobotomized liberals will never do it or still hear what they want to hear if by chance they did, I know that anyone who still has their brain intact will hear something quite different from the convenient liberal translation they normally get in the media.

I know I did. And it was one of many things that helped open my eyes up to what goes on in the world of so-called journalism these days.

Limbaugh may primarily be an entertainer (and not the Almighty Leader of the Republican party, as liberals like to parrot), but listening to him would still open up quite a few eyes among the population. And it might also just get a laugh out of them as well. Especially when they watch their nightly newscast and hear how they totally distort what he said that day.
