The scorn directed at Mike Savage is nothing less than shame of Western society, programmed feelings of liberal guilt directed toward our very culture...

I agree. His anger is only for the stupidity of people who do nothing while this country is being destroyed by the enemies within. His observations are correct. It took Bush YEARS to name the enemy--and he does so in a roundabout apologetic way.....sickening.....no wonder why Savage is so irate with leaders like Bush.

"Bush will go down as the biggest social welfare spender in the hsitory of the world. That is an unfortunate fact, and that will be his "legacy"."

Backoff? I don't think so. Your opinion of what his legacy will be is nothing more then that...one person's opinion.

OK fine. It is settled. You failed to name the person who has outspent Bush. I win. You lose.

Are you talking in dollars, or in % of the budget?

I don't see that making people aware of their education means that he is denigrating them.

said Savage. "He's a high school dropout. It's like listening to an uneducated, unthinking man on the radio."

Dollars. Even inflation adjusted dollars would probably still have Bush as the #1 welfare spender in all of history.

Savage is correct about the borders, as are Rush and Hannity. But Savage's nastiness and envy at others' success make him an honorary liberal, in my opinion. 16 posted on 11/28/2005 8:11:50 PM EST by SamuraiScot

"Borders, Language, Culture" is the heart of "the Savage Nation," Rush rarely brings up borders. Hannity will cover the border when the issue hits the headlines. Savage's savaging of other talk-radio hosts annoyed me until I realized that this is just part of his shtick.

He's talked himself into a corner trying desperately to gain a wider audience. If he truly believes what he spews, he's certifiable. If he doesn't, he's a hypocritical hack. His desperate gambit has failed. His audience didn't increase much, if at all, and he's alienated himself from all but the "eat nails and crap barbed wire" crowd. 74 posted on 11/28/2005 8:49:26 PM EST by Jokelahoma (Animal testing is a bad idea.

Actually, Savage had risen from #5 in talk-radio in 2003, to #3 today; according to Talkers Magazine.

Interesting background article on Savage here, including the origin of his "Savage" name.

As a percentage of GDP, Reagan for one was higher. I sure there's more.

LOL! You really do have a difficult time understanding the difference between your "opinion" and reality...you're wrong again.

I grew up in a country where the party serves the people not the other way around.

Those days are long gone.

"Public servant" -- our public servants don't know the meaning of the term.

We the taxpayers are now the public servants.

Damn feelings, because in one sense Savage is correct, if we intend to save the Republic, we have to take the gloves off and forget PC.

That is what Savage is all about! It is why I listen to him instead of Hannity and Rush. Hannity is way to nice and doesn't see the big picture and Rush is very wise, but may be bribed to soften his approach on the big issues.........No one has been able to bribe or shut-up Michael Savage. They have tried!!!

GDP comes and goes. Spending sticks. I was talking raw dollars.

Just curious, how did you total "welfare"? What functions, subfunctions from the OMB data did you total? Where did you get figures for canceled debt? Where did you get figures for IMF and World Bank spending from US funds? Did you really gather the data or are you just making a guess?

See table 1.2. Add the "Off-Budget as a Percentage of GDP" to the "On-Budget as a Percentage of GDP".

GDP represents the paycheck that the American people take home. Thus if fed spending was ~22% of GDP during Reagan, then federal spending on average was 22 cents on every dollar earned. I believe for Bush, it has averaged about ~21%.

Yes, but President Reagan had the war on terror and the damage of numerous destructive hurricanes to deal with as well.

As a % of GDP is not what I said. I said raw dollars.

However, it seems you made an error. The highest % of GDP spent on Human Resources during Reagan's time was 12.4%. Bush has been spending 12.7 up to 13.0% of GDP for Human Resources. So, it seems that Bush has outspent Reagan using your measurement, even though this is not what I stated (I stated raw dollars).

How could he not. Limbaugh sounds like he's on the government payroll, and Hannity has bored all his listeners to death.

Are you married? Do you speak you're real mind to your wife? Do you speak your real mind to all of your friends and family members? Your Boss? Your employees? Strangers on the bus?

Yes i do to ALL of the above i wouldn't be who i am if i didn't I'm not a fake person hiding behind a veil I'm me and i piss off alot of people in an ever increasing PC world but thats not my problem with common sense disappearing and the gimme gimme generations being increased i'll tell you what i think if asked ....barring any feelings aside ....emotions are useful but not in every situation the PC walk of life depends on raw winnowy emotions to survive once you get past the FEELINGS aspect of the fake PC game you come to understand the truth in being yourself .

Real intellects speak to "the better angels of our nature." They don't pander to the most primal.

What is a real intellect ?

Someone who tells you theres a lion in the street then hides under the bed ?

Or someone who tells you to hide under the bed while they kill the lion in the street ?

Or someone who asks if they can assist you in killing the lion in the street?

Or someone holds you up to the lion lest they might not be eaten first?

I think its someone who asks if they can assist you in killing the lion in the street and if your afraid of the lion which most individuals are including myself they help you bring out your primal self who has been hiding behind the kind and gentle persona

Savage {imho} is trying to wake people up to the lion in the street around the corner but PC is lulling the masses to sleep keeping their eyes hiden from the impending danger creeping ever so closer to the throat of the resting masses!
