Reasons to be Thankful for, and not Just Sick of Rush

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy



Actually it's not reasons, plural, it's a reason, singular, with trailing caveats. In essence: He's telling it like it is. What he's telling us has less to do with the reality of the world in which we all reside than it does the current bitter mental state of the Repubdican Party and its concomitant desperation.

He's no Karl Rove, flaying language, tying it in knots to say the opposite of what he means, he means what he says, and he's proud of it. When he says that he wants the President to fail, that's what he means; and every time someone tries to place his words in some softer context, he breaks the bars of confinement to let us know that not only did he mean it, but every honest Repubdican means it too. The logical extension of that desire, that he also wants the country to fail, seems lost on him. For everyone outside the Repubdican Party it's apparent that Bush screwed us to such a degree that Obama's success is the country's success, we can't afford for him to fail. For the sake of their continued electoral relevance, the Repubdicans can't afford for him to succeed. Party survival fueled their opposition to the Clintons' health care reforms in '93, it fuels their opposition to Obama now.

It has become increasingly obvious that Limbaugh is less in love with the Repubdican Party than so damaged that his ego needs the love of the right and the Repubdicans. And he will have that love even if it kills them, or else. The parade of Repubdicans offering mild Rush critiques and then quickly reversing course to prostrate themselves for his forgiveness has been as painfully hilarious as watching The Office (UK version) for the first time. This is worse than tough love, it's more like insecure co-dependent parent love, or jealous midget-god-plex love-- you will place no diminutive gods before me.

Rove's self-loathing ego wouldn't force him to shoot himself and the party in the foot like this, his self-loathing would make him shoot you and explain why it's your fault. And that's the ONE reason I'm thankful for Rush. After eight years of being insulted and told I'm only imagining it, it's a relief to just be insulted. Despite his wish that the country fail, I hope that Rush continues to be successful in his ascension to voice and leader of the Repubdican Party. He either hasn't learned that the right never says what it means, or he realized the only way to rule the Repubdican Party was to shrink it small enough to drown it in himself. Regardless, the Repundicans are dead, Long Live the Voice of The Repubdicans.

Update:

And no, I cannot prove that Rush Limbaugh is not constantly under the influence of narcotics or a pig-fucker.

'Anti-racism', All Trap, No Honey: A Discourse About Discourse

One of the things that prevents me from writing more often is the sense that I'm just writing the same thing repeatedly from a slightly different angle. In a nutshell, all I'm saying is that moral idealism substituted for material goals will not lead to justice, but is an argument against materialism. I'm a dumb person's low rent Adolph Reed Jr. translator. I'm a "class reductionist" who understands that when the discourse is reduced to just class there's nothing as important as food, water and shelter that's left out. I often find myself contending with people who insist that there is, unable to name anything. They don't understand that they're making an argument against economic redistribution, or they don't care. There are no concrete manifestations of systemic racism or any oppression that are not dealt with through economic redistribution. When people say that economic redistribution won't end racism, what they mean is that

Wokeness: The Ugly Changeling Baby and the End of Shared Reality

I have once again found it difficult to write because I'm just saying the same thing in different ways about the moral idealism in the social justice discourse. For months, I've been reflecting on this moment and the future implications. It's seems increasingly likely that we are reaching towards a point in which there's no shared objective knowledge Instead, we'll just have popular consensus and disinformation, depending on your ideological commitments.  I want to lay this out so that it doesn't just seem like a bunch of completely disconnected impressions, but the logical conclusion of tying those impressions together. I think some of it may already be clear to anyone who sees the obvious parallels between the riot in the Capitol and Russiagate, understanding that only the latter had actual power behind it. But I want to make it clear for those who don't. In August 2020, American Greatness published a piece from journalist Oliver Bateman called " The
