To The Disciples Of Rush

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.

But support for the bill has fallen 12 points since January, and nearly half of those surveyed do not believe it will shorten the recession.  Feb-05-09  Source:  CBS News

Limbaugh, a proponent of the discredited “supply side” and “trickle down” economic theories of Milton Friedman has often criticized the job creating programs embedded in the stimulus program  of  the Democratic administration.


The Failure of Neo-liberalism

LANCASTER, England:

More and more, it appears that in the 21st century we are returning to the economics of the 19th, where wealth was overwhelmingly concentrated in the hands of a few owners and astute speculators.

Neither the Right nor the Left seem capable of creating a society in which all benefit from increased prosperity and economic security.

Right-wing claims that free markets will enrich all sections of society are palpably false, while the traditional European welfare state appears to penalize innovation and wealth-creation, thereby locking the poor and unskilled into institutionalized poverty and unemployment. (more…)
