Nothing depresses me more than reminders of our cultural rot and esp when am man I so admire is vilified unjustly.

Please know that I always enjoy reading your diaries. I always learn something new.

I got here to late to recommend it, but I will share it on Twitter and Digg.

and well deserved/earned!

Excellent analysis and writing as usual . . . in my humble opinion (not worth much, but I’ll give it anyway), front page is an appropriate place for many of your fine articles. Keep them coming; we appreciate your work.

Take Care, mailloux

The reason I never write diaries is because someone always says it like would, only better and you just did. Judging from your timeline, you and I became Rush DHs about the same time. The event that solidified me in the right (not center right) was the Clarence Thomas hearings. Thanks, a job well done.

Isnt ironic that once again the people who detest the current lack of civility and heated rhetoric our modern day politics are only adding to it. Really these libs should be ashamed.

is the WORST because it embodies everything WE already know about the leftist media and that is they are LIARS! They walk iin lockstep with the Democrats and the D’s don’t like Rush because he tells the TRUTH about them so their lapdogs ie: the leftist media are taking their cue’s from the D’s!

Hope to read it more thoughtfully when I have a bit more time.

Thanks.

of these moments that enlightened your path to conservatism. The incredible disservice the Left/Democrats do in their persistent racism meme, is shameful and a disgrace in this country.

I wonder if Rush realizes what a friend he has in you.
I’m glad you could write about it.

and twist it from meaning Debt of Past Sins to actual Full EQUALITY — to that of WELFARE CHECKS instead — of it while we (Conservatives/Republicans) focus on the correct “Content of Ones Character” meaning! As so many of us tried to get across during the Election (see also: some Recommended diaries (Racism and Race-baiting sections); 2008 Election Issues recap [with links] including the Freedom Works “Not This Time” Ad quoting King; the must-read: Tony Cruz’s But He’s Black!, and Neil’s – Dear 52, and GC’s American Exceptionalism).

NFL: The Rush Rams They will sell Millions of Rams Jerseys with #1 and Limbaugh on the back – instant profitability lol

That was outstanding, Mike.

I remarked yesterday, here is a rich white guy. He wants to buy a business, and he will hire lots of collage age kids, many of them minorities, to do particular jobs. And most of these are good jobs, many paying in excess of a million dollars a year. They have fabulous health plans, and a retirement plan too. Many can retire in their early 30’s. Rush wants to do all of this, and he believes he can still realize a return on his investment. And for this he is considered a racist? Providing well-paying jobs to minority young adults who may not have even graduated college, and he is a racist?

That makes no logical sense!

Great diary as usual, Mike!

I don’t know if Erick would ever hold a vote for the next front page contributor but my nominees would be, in no particular order:

Mike “Gamecock” Devine.
Susannah
Mailloux
Art Chance

I’m sure there could be others but those 4 just popped up because of great research, experience in what they write about, and good writing.

   I’ve long considered the obvious hypocrisy by so-called “liberals” whose ideological extremism topped all concerns about said hypocrisy.  Along with the uproar over the Philadelphia jounalists’ promotion of Donovan McNabb, this is a textbook example of how Rush Limbaugh is unjustly tarnished by Leftist media’s demonizing attacks.  If only those with whom Rush was working to purchase the Rams had the same backbone that he did.

I would like to hear how the liberals apologize for the racist history of the Democratic Party. What you thought Abe Lincoln formed the KKK?

Next time you see a documentary about black history, count how many times you hear the Democrat party’s role mentioned prior to LBJ.

Slavery and the civil war? Yes but no mention of which party controlled the statehouses that voted for secession.

Jim Crow laws? Absolutely, but no mention of which party passed them, or which party enforced them at the local level.

Sheriffs turning a blind eye to Klan atrocities? It’s right there, but no mention of which party those sheriffs belonged. Plenty of pictures of fire hoses and police dogs being turned on civil rights protesters, no mention of the party affiliation of the sheriff who ordered it.

White prosecutors refusing to seek indictments, no mention of the party affiliation of the prosecutors.

Apparently, Black History is important, but not so important that we can upset the narrative.

An absolutely outstanding article!! A written expression of thoughts by an intelligent and knowledgeable person has become a very rare event in recent time! The half-wits presently posing as writers in the media today are a disgrace to Journalism!! Thanks, Mike, for a breath of fresh air!!

Actually, I’ve been a conservative since the Vietnam War and I find Limbaugh a little bit bombastic for my tastes. However, when I first heard him I cheered and I still do at times. He is not afraid to speak the truth and that is indeed rare these days. Good on him and you!

BTW, I wrote a diary which I considered a stinging indictment of libs who call folks “racist” entitled, “Who’s the Racist?”

In it I describe two men without labeling them, one of whom is me and one is a former friend of mine who gratuitously called me a “racist” because I disagreed with him on some stupid move by the local housing authority.

The upshot was that while castigating “greedy” conservatives, he makes a tidy profit renting low end apartments; while calling conservatives “racist” he lives in an all-white neighborhood and goes to an all white church; while bragging about his own “open-mindedness” to all and sundry, no one dare contradict his opinion or else.

On the other hand, my profession and lifestyle would give credence to assuming I was the stereotypical liberal – counselor, integrated church, integrated neighborhood, willing to hear all opinions, etc.

Indeed, the only real way to determine personal merit is by “the content of their character” — not out-dated, insulting, puerile and ultimately stupid labels.

Is it Racism or Liberalism? Is it Black against White? Like Fox News would
say, “We report, you decide.” I want to remind everyone, what happened
to Rush Limbaugh in New York State. Governor Patterson vindictively
singled out Rush Limbaugh as a resident of New York and raised his taxes
so he would move out of this state. Now, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and
others did everything in their POWER to prevent Mr. Limbaugh from buying into
a Football Team. What do you think is going on, America? They did this
just because they could. They have not proven any of the so-called Racist
remarks. Everything Rush Limbaugh has said over the years on the radio,
is documented, and other than Conservative views, none of those comments
were found in the archives. Maybe people like Jesse Jackson should stick
to shaking down Companies for money and get out of the Racism business.
I believe, even if Rush Limbaugh doesn’t need the money, he should not let
this go out of Principle because it appears they won’t stop pushing their
campaign against him.

I don’t know how often most of you watch the news,but do you remember when Bill was in office,Hillery said quite frequently that Saul Alinsky was her mentor.She was in his class at college.He was a devout American hater.One of his ideas was to get in their face and call them names,intimidate and even attack if nessary.When you can’t win on the facts, that is all you can do.Don’t you notice that the Dems never want to debate?The reason is because they know they can’t win!They have trained college students ot protest anyone who comes on their campus,and not allow them to talk!They don’t even let college students decide for themselves.They ridicule them and embarrasthem in front of the whole class! They aren’t allowed to debate an issue at all!Our schools and colleges are just places of indoctronation, not ideas anymore!They are not allowed to debate anything the professors tell them! These teachers walk around like Gods! No one is allowed to have an idea of their own!You either believe their way or get humilated and even failed! The teachers are nothing more than bullies! The history books have been changed to fit their adjendia, not to tell the truth! If you think I am lieing just look at your childrens books some time. Our children can’t compete with other countries because they don’t educate, they indoctronate.I suggest that we don’t call them names ,just call them out for debates! If we do it enough times then our children will start to wonder why they won’t! I think this could work! Any feedback on that idea????
