Well folks, if you haven't been watching the news since last Saturday, (or, again, if you're Amish), then you probably have no idea where this is coming from, and I would suggest going to check out the news. This story from Politico gives a pretty good idea about what is up, even if it is a bit biased...

Basically the idea is that the Dems are trying to paint Rush Limbaugh as the head of the Republican party. However, to say the least, this is completely false on a number of levels. First, Rush has never claimed to belong to Washington's party politics; he has always shown himself to be a conservative first and last. Last year, Rush spoke out many times against the policies of McCain, choosing to stick to his conservatism instead of bowing to political favors. In case you haven't heard me so far, let me put this to you even more clearly: RUSH LIMBAUGH ISN'T A REPUBLICAN, HE IS A CONSERVATIVE. Rush would probably view the republican label with disgust, especially in the wake of the recent Specter vote for the "Stimulus"...

Ok, so now I know what you're thinking: Why does this matter? Well, in one sense, you're probably right; the media is blowing this way out of proportion. However, on another front, it matters a great deal. Why? Well, I'm going to tell you.

Emboldened by their recent victories in the oval office and the legislature, Liberals are starting to come out of the woodwork to show their true positions. The Democrats know that Rush paints everything very black and white, and so they want to play to the moderate sides of the American public. If they can smear the name of "Rush Limbaugh" all over the Republican party, they will be able to depict the GOP as a party full of "hate-mongers" and "intolerant bigots". Basically, when all the fluff boils down, the only thing left is another smear campaign from the liberal left.

The irony is that despite all their jabbering about tolerance and diversity, Liberals are really some of the most bigoted people out there. In their world of relative truth where they don't believe in such mundane concepts as "right" and "wrong", they believe everybody else is "wrong" and only their idea that there is no "right" is the right view. Confusing? Sure is. This is why they can tout their slogans for "hope" and "change" and "freedom", and at the same time be placing economic shackles around the US. Back in the day before we had "hate speech" this would be considering having a forked-tongue. No, I'm not a racist... At least, not when compared to Barack Obama.

Thus, I challenge the Democratic Party. Give up your post-modernistic niceties and actually talk like men. I'm sure that if you asked the American people, they would all chip in so that you people could go buy a spine. I am not in any way condoning the practices of the Republican party or Rush Limbaugh, but if you seriously desire a "change" in American politics, how about you start it? Just pushing the same big-government liberalism we've seen in the past isn't going to help you at all. Please, take off your masks, and look the American public in the eye.
