Comedian and Republican party “spokesthing” Rush Limbaugh’s statements reflect a most sophomoric analysis of the situation we are in as a country. With Limbaugh as the intellectual voice of the Republican party, the Republicans will be facing the same fate they did in the mid-term elections of Roosevelt’s first term – relegated to an insignificant element of the national political landscape.

This is the card Obama is playing. He knows what an intellectual lightweight Limbaugh really is. When he occasionally strays from his bantering and offers up the semblance of an idea it is nothing more than a repeat of the failed policies of the past. If someone of stature doesn’t succeed in taking the stage from him you Republicans are doomed.

I am anticipating the moment when Limbaugh puts his foot in all your collective ditto-mouths to a point that you will loose all semblance of credibility. Perhaps then you will begin to think, I mean independently think, for yourselves. It will be a great day for this country. I say this realizing that it is impossible for many of you to change your mind about anything.

I have always suspected that we citizens are not too bright or very well informed about a lot of things. In the back of my mind, I suspected that this ignorance had something to do with the dismal state of affairs in this country and that our politicians were getting along without our input. Supposedly, democracy still depends on a well informed electorate to function well or at all. To find out more and what we can do about it, I recommend you read “Just How Stupid Are We?” by Rick Shenkman.

Several writers, including myself, have expressed our annoyance and displeasure at this noise.Most pro-noise letters are worshipful and protective of the military, implying that they can do no harm and if they are harmful to us civilians, that’s OK, we should embrace this harm with religious fervor. We Alamogordians are to be grateful and blindly accept anything the military decides to do. Otherwise, the Air Force will get their feelings hurt and out of their pain caused by our rejection, disappear into the night. So say the pro-noise people. (more…)
