Rush ‘n Rant
I woke up with a rush this morning. No, I wasn’t high- I was dreaming that Rush Limbaugh ate our Christmas tree. I really need to avoid spicy foods just before bedtime. So, what better topic this morning than a little Rush?
As I wrote a few weeks back before trashing sweet li’l Condi Rice, I had watched a little Rush on CSPAN. I am not a fan of Rush, and immediately wrote a response to a few things he said. It is even less thought out and coherent than most of my stuff, but it’s straight from the heart: From me to you, Rush-baby! I’m not sure what topic he was speaking on. I think he was trying to remind us all that liberals, like Jews, should be dehumanized, outlawed and euthanized. I’m guessing he was trying to get O’Reilly turned on so they could share a loofah . . . anyway, on with the rant.
Dear Rush:
Hey dumb-ass. No we liberals are not afraid of Christianity or religion. We are afraid of idiots who use the name of Christianity to commit atrocities or as an excuse not to think things through. Saying “Gold told me to”, or “I prayed about it” rather than actually thinking DOES scare the hell out of us, as it should out of any rational human being. Choosing a specific position and then only accepting evidence, especially fictitious evidence, that supports your position does not make you a better leader. It makes you a dangerous leader.
Somehow you used religion to segue into negativity (or was it the other way around? Unfortunately, you’re so fucking annoying to listen to, I tuned you out after 5 minutes) I find it interesting, since you right-wing nut jobs — ahem, sorry, conservatives were the ones who perfected the negative campaign. Your blatant disregard for truth and basic integrity is astounding. We are learning, though, and someday we will catch up. Some day us centrists, liberals and lefties will be as abhorrent and morally reprehensible as you and your kind. Some day we will be willing and able to choke the life out of the truth, to claim the only way to save the poor, unfortunate and defenseless is to beat them down further or kill them outright. Won’t that be a happy day? You can welcome us as brothers to your select club for the bloated and drugged white man. Oh happy Day!.
Believe it or not, you bloated old drug addict, there are some of us who are religious and liberal. We have been taught no to wear our religion like a cheap sequin miniskirt; it’s not there to distract from the emptiness of our ideas. It is an integral part of our lives, something sacred, not something to parade around like a cheap whore on the conservative side of town. There is more to us than the flash of a few old testament invectives hurled at the masses. Speaking of which, you might try God’s later works — say the New Testament? It’s about this guy Jesus, the Son of God. Prince of Peace. Peace, not war. Do you understand, dumb-ass? I didn’t think so. Anyway, this Jesus guy is a bit of a commie liberal, espousing sharing of the wealth, pacifism, kindness, etc. . As I said, Son of God and all that. Sure, his ideas are a bit radical and the antitheses of all you and your kind believe in, but maybe you could give Christianity a try. You could probably even dig up an illustrated or animated version of the New Testament for Dubya.
Why is putting on a show of faith more important than dealing with the issues that confront this country? It’s sad that we defeated the Nazis in WWII only to have them reborn as the Republican party.
Okay, maybe I got a little carried away there at the end. Buddhism, or non-radical Islam would be at least as good as Christianity. Hell, go for humanism. Anything, as long as it teaches you to show some respect for the diverse world surrounding you and for the future.
