I’ve got a question for you: how can your husband see all of this and still not think that it is worth his time to take an interest in political things? It’s like seeing someone get mugged and just walking away. Except in this case, we’re ALL getting mugged.
Nice rant! Sincerely!
Spot on. Speaker Boehner should get a copy of this. That is the reason Rush is a megastar. He knows how we feel and what we are thinking and he has that golden EIB mic to amplify our thoughts.
Well, he’s the strong silent type but he’s not asleep. Politics just is not his thing although he is quite an observer and he never resists what I do because he knows I know more about the details of what’s going on than him.
He supports me while I do my thing and I mostly use his money to do my thing! So that tells you something about him. He just doesn’t say much - he’s like that. We love each other the way we are. Me the blabbermouth. Him, the way smart but quiet hammer kinda guy. He has his own territory in life carved out. I love him and the way he is.

All the unusual magnitude of participation from yelling and hollaring citizens at Town Hall meetings the Congress critters experienced as they were prepared to impose a secret death care system on the people. It frightened them because they thought we would be passive about it.

You said it. So, when they take away Rush, and they will try, then what? They will try to shut “us” up next.
Thanks, Don Carlos.
I get the impression from the way Boehner handled the witch hunt hysteria in the aftermath of the Arizona shooting that he gets it. I think he knows that the knee jerk reationary days of unread leglislation is over. King of New York and Cantor are just beginning to figure that out.
I’m glad I wasnt the only one who saw the campaign rally atmosphere as sacrilege. When I saw the printed teeshirts laided out it disgusted me. I dont entirely blame Obama even though his speech was so very off. Couldnt he for just a moment drop the condescending tone? The “I know everything crap?”. Listening to and reading the pundits is almost mentally painful given the degree of intellectual dishonesty on display not the mention that far too many even conservatives have gotten confused concerning the value of straight talk offerred by Sarah Palin and spin that is acceptable to the political class. I personally am tired of them. They are so dark and slimy that my soul recoils from them just watching them soil themselves publicly on tv saying crap they have to know is contrived bs. They think they can manipulate us and sometimes they do succeed but many are awake and more are awakening and those in power could only be so lucky if it were only an army of mad men that they faced.
Any reading of quality American history such as the essential “Patriot’s History of the United States” will reveal that “stormy” political discourse is nothing new.
The current “storminess” is driven by the long overdue, but VERY healthy and encouraging pushback from conservatives against the ongoing, now deades long, move toward socialism, which has accelerated alarmingly under the racist Kenyan usurper.
America has been much more stormy in its past than today.
What is going on now is a culture shift from New York/LA media centers and Washington centered public policy making to independent media and state and local people who make the country work finally taking a stand.
All made possible by a technology the government as of yet has been unable to control.
“I’ve got a question for you: how can your husband see all of this and still not think that it is worth his time to take an interest in political things? It’s like seeing someone get mugged and just walking away. Except in this case, we’re ALL getting mugged.”
Great question!
I, too, used to think that politics was a dirty game a waste of time, until I finally asked myself, what exactly is politics?
And after a bit of pondering, I came to the realization that politics is about my self interest. Politics is a fight for your interests. Thus you have a choice. You can stay on the sidelines and let other people decide what’s best for you or you can get in the game, join people that share your interests, and try to affect those decisions.
The other thing that I realized is that, politics is a perpetual tug of war. It is a constant struggle. It was, it is, and will always be. The reason is simple - people have different interests and they will constantly struggle to promote them.
Therefore I consider people that bemoan the lack of “bipartisanship” and “reaching across the isle” as naive at best and more than likely, ignorant of the true nature of politics.
I agree. Liberals are classless and slimy.
It gives me hope that my husband was so disgusted with the “memorial”, he turned off the televison. He has a lot more tolerance than I do for the crazy stuff because he does not watch it build day to day.
“He still has a misplaced respect and trust in the “mainstream” media, expecting them to at least go though the motions of acting as a press in a Democratic Republic.”
Man, if he still has respect for the mainstream media, love is indeed blind, for you to describe him as “smart as a whip”.
I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but those two things just seem so incongruous.
Saul Alinsky, for teaching communists how to deploy hate as a political weapon.
PS: Hillary Clinton, was a staunch follower of comrade Alinsky. Sometimes referred to as the “father of Community Organizing”.
A familiar term there. Community Organizing...
I agree with your hubby.
As long as pols continue to meddle in our lives, stealing our earnings and private healthcare for generations to come...then they had better prepare for things to get worse.
“The current “storminess” is driven by the long overdue, but VERY healthy and encouraging pushback from conservatives”...
-
Wholeheartedly agree.
Don’t know how many FReepers are flying a Palin bumper sticker yet. I have been, and have noticed a complete sea change in the amount of other drivers checking out the sticker, then me. I grinned just a bit at a lady today I saw looking quizically, and it seemed to have been the right thing to do. Remember, Palin’s a lot of things - but she’s also a woman.
The left is really starting to veer wildly into the politics of intimidation and attack.
On some level, that will drive a lot of women, to her defense. Certainly men are reflexively chivalrous when a woman is attacked - but even the ladies get it, at some point.
There’s a possibility, if we unapologetically stand up and don’t accept the left’s meme, to really turn things upside down for the left.
This is our defining moment.
Seize it, without hesitation, nor doubt.
Stand up.
I know. He refuses to pay attention to those things with a critical eye. He also never sees dust balls on the floor. NEVER.
