Rush Limbaugh

Foolish People

"I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark." -Rush Limbaugh




I don't know if you know this or not, but when you're listening to his show and many others like his radio show, the calls are being screened. He likes to pick callers that will help him drive his point home and usually doesn't allow callers who disagree with him through. On the occasions that he does let a caller who opposes his perspective speak, he makes sure it's someone nice and dumb. So... Forget about it if you think that what you're listening to on his show reflects anything in reality. I do listen to parts of his radio show as well as other dogmatic propagandists radio hosts, from time to time. I call it "Checking in with stupid". One should never loose sight that The Rush Limbaugh show is made possible by stations that make Billions of dollars every year such as Cox Enterprises/Cox Radio: So his idiotic statements are well funded.

"Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?" -Rush Limbaugh

”This is no different than what happens at the Skull and Bones initiation, and we’re going to ruin people’s lives over it, and we’re going to hamper our military effort, and then we are going to really hammer them because they had a good time. You know, these people are being fired at every day. I’m talking about people having a good time, these people.” – in response to prisoner abuse at Abu Grahib. -Rush Limbaugh


There's a job opening for a new call screener on the Limbaugh show.

Rush Limbaugh gets owned by a military veteran caller.

"There are more acres of forestland in America today than when Columbus discovered the continent in 1492."

"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting." --on an ad by Michael J. Fox endorsing Claire McCaskill for Senate for supporting embryonic stem cell research

"You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray" [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.

School and Home School

  Oh my. I don't have time to write this. So it will be as follows:   1. What is school for? I think that Seth has a good grasp on this at the bottom, see [1] 2. There's an ongoing debate about homeschooling vs. public schooling. 3. I agree with most things about home schooling. Which is why I take the view that my kids are home schooled 5 days a week, from 3pm to 9pm, on the weekends, and all of their vacation time. 4. Home schooling should feel like art, it's enjoyable (largely), so don't worry about overloading the tone of "school" in it. 5. Everyone's situation is different: (a) Some of us have checks coming to us from the government that give us all day to do as we please. (b) Some of us have to work long hours every day to survive. (c) Some of us have a spouse that gives us all day to do with as we please. (d) Some of us are the spouse that gives the other all day to do as they please. etc. 6. Thus, our ideals aren't applicable to everyone. 7. Th...

Open Eyes

It's difficult to manage contradictions It's distressing to see data that contradicts your beliefs It takes courage to challenge your assumptions It takes humility to acknowledge your human fallibility, and change your mind. I argue that you've not opened your eyes to the fullest without this. I've found that people run from ambiguity, and that the desire to escape ambiguity is a strong and hidden source for addiction, dogma, and procrastination.

Closed Open Minds

     To be open minded means that you entertain all arguments. ALL of them. That's when you realize that many people who told you that they're open minded are actually not, because they'll judge you for listening to an opposing political argument, or for lending an ear to someone from another religion. I think that it's a mistake to think that we can all like each other sometime in the future. That would require a considerable amount of hegemony, and that's the opposite of freedom, that's the opposite of open mindedness. Freedom isn't rainbows and unicorns, freedom is complex and can be dangerous, and scary. In the woods, an armadillo wanders off into the road, and someone else's freedom paved a road, and ran right over it while freely traveling from one city to another. Perhaps, the root of many of our social issues has to do with the inability to sit with discomfort. The way that tribesmen had to sleep, with bears, and lions, or giant ants, and snakes ...
