You are quite the wild-card.

Did you know that the University of Pittsburgh has long been one of the best Philosophy departments in the world?

I have read Durant's History of Philosophy though he is not a ranked Philosopher.

As I understand it you have lost both your parents by suicide so you of all people should know that life is not a rose garden and frankly I am surprised by your harsh criticisms.

"he would make an attempt now to use a little less ridicule and more persuasion."- ridicule is a weapon first used by the Left and is what they respond to best, that we have learned.

Rush is a target because of his power and ours and not because he has not learned to "mediate".

I don't quite know where to start. So I'll start at the beginning.

You are quite the wild-card. -- I have absolutely no idea what that means here. I hope you don't mean that I'm a joker (wild card), because that would mean that you are much less than an 'ace'.

Did you know that the University of Pittsburgh has long been one of the best Philosophy departments in the world? -- yes.

I have read Durant's History of Philosophy though he is not a ranked Philosopher.

I don't know why you are telling me this. Are you referring to Durant's multiple book compilation, "The History of Civilization"? What are you referring to and why are you? BTW, who is ranking your philosophers for you?

As I understand it you have lost both your parents by suicide so you of all people should know that life is not a rose garden and frankly I am surprised by your harsh criticisms. -- ........... About what "harsh criticism" are you surprised? Who is receiving "harsh criticism" from me? Is it "harsh criticism" of Rush Limbaugh to suggest that he is not the man George Washington was? I don't think so, and any reasonable person would know that. You may need a few more clues.

Rush is a target because of his power and ours and not because he has not learned to "mediate". -- You are missing the point, and I haven't the time to try to explain it to you further.

Go ahead and adore Rush as he is. That's fine with me. Just remember, Rush would be much less vilified and less of a target if he hadn't had such a confrontational and insulting way of approaching his supposed enemies. He's a good guy, but remains a man who needs to grow up some. Then again, who isn't?

Indeed. He's threatening to those on the Left by giving a voice to those who disagree with them.

Your post caused me to be curious enough to click on your screen name to take a look at your Profile Page. Two things: I love your...
