Rush and the privileged class of bankers, and insurance industry fat cats who have ruined the financial system do not get it. We want socialism. I repeat, we want socialism. We want banks that are nationalized and operate with transparency and integrity, we want universal health care, we want affordable higher education, we want excellent elementary and secondary schools, and we want infrastructure that allows creative minds to develop energy efficiency for the 21st century. But most importantly of all, we want equality and dignity. We do not want to be exploited by an artificial hierarchical system of incompetent managers. Government is in place to provide FOR THE PEOPLE, not for an oligarchy comprising 5% of the population. Socialism is American! We have been evolving into this system for more than 100 years.

Recall. Rush only speaks to 8% of the population. That's small potatoes and not everyone who listens to him agrees with him. Some people have very strong stomachs and can listen to and laugh at or with him. Americans have to make a major decision. With several European nations (socialist, according to Rush) passing us in the best standard of living category, we must decide if we want to follow their lead and pay higher taxes to get a better standard of living for all Americans or continue the dog eat dog Republican model which yields higher levels of poverty but more money for the rich. It's a decision we must think about and make.

Rush would never run for public office, and give up the opportunity to continue to rape the public airwaves for millions a year. Running for office would also mean he'd have to try to tell the truth and actually make sense.

The real problem is people who listen to Limbaugh. If he was no longer on the air, someone else would come along to fill the void. Because there's enough people out there who think like him. It's these ignorant Americans that drag us down. I'm a big believer in everyone having an equal voice, but when the idiots among us make life harder for everyone, perhaps it's time to give these people their own country instead of ruining ours.

Eric, great job! I've been waiting for somebody to point out Limbaugh's faulty premise that people want President Obama to succeed because he is black. I guess it hasn't entered his fat head that a successful administration would be good for the county.

I particularly appreciated your "blowed up real good" SCTV reference.
