"Can't We All Just Get Along?"
The plea immortalized by Rodney King seems to apply as much now as ever. Unfortunately, we can only all "get along" if the rest of us agree with President Obama and his left wing constituency. But then it's almost always been that way. It's always the conservatives who must get along with the leftists; never vice versa. Interesting, isn't it?
Now that the president has picked a fight with Rush Limbaugh, he apparently has attempted to throw down the gauntlet to faint hearted republicans (who wet themselves in an effort to please and appease those on the left side of the isle) by intimidating Washington RINO's into disregarding the Maha Rushie.
This wasn't one of Obama's swiftest moves. He should have sought counsel from the feckless Harry Reid, or any other of the hapless left who are daily exposed on Limbaugh's wildly popular radio show.
Obama should know better than to elevate ANY of his ideological adversaries by even mentioning them by name. Didn't he learn anything by continually naming Sean Hannity
throughout the campaign? Now, Hannity is able to capitalize on Obama's repeated dishonorable mentions of his name at the opening of his radio show every day. It's belittling for a president, the most powerful man in the world, to act threatened by a talk show host, or any of his critics, for that matter. I'm sure Rush is loving the mega-attention and it will most certainly boost his ratings.
Remember when the newly elected Bill Clinton called the St. Louis radio station (which carries Rush's show) from aboard Air Force One and said that Rush had 3 hours to be critical of him (Clinton) as if the most powerful man in the world was defenseless against Rush. Clinton said there was no "truth detector" (or words to that effect) to intervene on his (Clinton's) behalf. He empowered Rush by stating such a fallacious comment. From that time on, Rush states daily that he IS the truth detector! I don't think Clinton mentioned Rush much after that. Obama would do well to learn that lesson.
Likewise, if Obama continues to make war against Rush, it will only boost Rush's ratings and make Obama look silly. O' sure, Obama and the dems have the full force and power of Big Govt behind them and they may, in fact, be able to silence their critics, but that too, will only make them look small in the eyes of thinking Americans. After all, if they have to silence their critics, how strong is their ideology?
Regardless, if you're not listening to Rush, you're missing out on great radio and great political discourse; and it's only going to get better!
