"Sadly, I kind of think that America has far too many "dittoheads", and, with all our positive possibilities, it's a shame."<br /><br />Who is Rush talking to, and who is listening, when he upchucks such a statement as, "Obama is not post-racial America, Obama is post-America"?<br /><br />Here's my take: Of course, Rush is doing whatever he can to overthrow liberals, and bring back to the throne Republicans.<br /><br />But I think he has another agenda: He's telling all Americans, white, black, brown, yellow, or what have you, not to allow someone of an ethnicity other than white to win the highest office (unless he's one of us, a Republican), or they'll meet with a similar fate--a congress that is obstructionist, and a president that we'll do whatever is in our power to cause to "fail."<br /><br />Of course, congress has had it's obstructionist moments, but, since Obama took office, we're seeing more filibusters than ever before in congressional history.<br /><br />This is racial and political. And it's a shame!<br /><br />"Sadly, I kind of think that America has far too many "dittoheads", and, with all our positive possibilities, it's a shame."<br /><br />It's sad, as you say, and a shame. Politics, since the election of Barack Obama, has become so divisive, and so polarizing, and this division and polarization aided and abetted by so many voices on the right, that one of two things are in play: Republicans want power at all cost, even if that means the destruction of this nation, or they're trying to beat back the tide of ethnic power and influence that's growing, as their numbers grow.<br /><br />We're seeing the latter in states like Arizona, where ethnic profiling has become law, and ethnic studies are under fire.<br /><br />This meme that Obama is destroying America is going to gain strength, once this congress begins to take up immigration reform.Black Diasporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890792781361839105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386976829639042251.post-80643525318211804472010-05-21T17:17:52.470-07:002010-05-21T17:17:52.470-07:00Blogger msladydeborah said...

Wow, I couldn't believe my ears, but I think that is also part of his appeal, the pure shock value of his nonsense. <br /><br />Sadly, I kind of think that America has far too many "dittoheads", and, with all our positive possibilities, it's a shame.vanishing pointhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00162872388532519328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386976829639042251.post-17242303902608782412010-05-20T22:04:08.505-07:002010-05-20T22:04:08.505-07:00msladydeborah said...

No matter what type of political brand we are attached to."<br /><br />Rush gets paid amply to give legitimacy to bigotry, and to call it conservatism, as well as harry those on the Left.<br /><br />He and his ilk must be yucking it up when they gather for one of their backroom meetings, strategizing what they'll do next to rake in the bucks by catering to wingnuts, and slamming liberals.<br /><br />And they call Jesse and Al con artists!<br /><br />Yes, I believe they conspire to form a united front against the opposition, and to evaluate the success of previous campaigns, and to formulate new ones.<br /><br />"It is like they have been laying in the cut for this very moment to arrive. Just so they can express these views and keep their version of the "Melting Pot" stirred up with misconceptions and misinformation."<br /><br />Rand Paul is the latest in this group to show his true intent. I've said all along that the Tea Party movement is nothing more than a reactionary movement.<br /><br />Rand's having to backtrack some from a previous position (perceived flaws in the Civil Rights' Act), learning a bitter truth about politics in the process--if you wishes to remain electable, you have to fool the people all the time.Black Diasporahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08890792781361839105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386976829639042251.post-17905259548962869122010-05-20T09:21:24.283-07:002010-05-20T09:21:24.283-07:00I'm old enough to realize that the dumbing dow...I'm old enough to realize that the dumbing down of America has already happened.
