Ok, I don’t listen to Rush Limbaugh. But reading the text on a blog of how he says he wants riots at the Democratic Convention so that a Democrat won’t be elected made my brain spin.

What kind of ASSHOLE wishes this sort of destruction and pain on his own nation in the name of partisan politics?

When even HIS semi-sentient listeners called in to protest he said he was not inciting riots but simply “dreaming” of riots. If this is his type of fantasy, let me tell you, I have one for him that involves copious amounts of black leather and a mask for me. To quote the graphic novel movie when the Spartan queen Gorgo gets her revenge upon her rapist: “This won’t be over quickly, and you WON’T enjoy it.” And no, contrary to popular impressions of me and jokes about dominatrix games; I do not enjoy inflicting pain on people or animals.

I enjoy creating reality and justice. Rush needs a firehose full of both.  When  a system is incredibly stopped up…like plumbing full of shit, the cure is flushing it out with freshets of pressurized water.  Someone needs to flush Rush a clear channel of reality.

He says of the Republicans, “There won’t be riots at our convention,” Limbaugh said of the Republican National Convention. “We don’t riot. We don’t burn our cars. We don’t burn down our houses. We don’t kill our children. We don’t do half the things the American left does.”

Gee, you know, all of my children—in spite of numerous provocations, are still alive and well. I have never burnt my car or house. I have never rioted. (Possibly because I don’t live wherever the GOP held a convention? But I will let that go for now.) Sadly, I have to say, the Democrats haven’t done much of ANYthing useful lately. But, speaking as a liberal….on that infamous left, I do have a list of things I do not do, just for Rush.

I don’t start bloody foreign wars for phony reasons, sending other folks’ children to die for lies.
I don’t stack the Supreme Court with venal short-sighted fools who will help corporate fatcats loot the country.
I don’t create false “news” to propagandize the nation into compliance.
I don’t listen to phone calls, read emails not addressed to me, and arrest 15 year olds for writing speculative fiction for English classes.
I do not give big tax cuts to the top 2 or 3% of the nation’s rich folks while pretending it will help the rest of the nation.
I do not cut vital programs to pay for the fucking war! I don’t use the Constitution as a piece of toliet paper.
I don’t call everyone who disagrees with me by the name “traitor”….even though, on a bit of thought, I could make the case BETTER than they do. Since THEY are the one ones shredding the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
I don’t conduct a “back door draft” by forcing volunteer military members to stay beyond their enlistment.
I don’t send Navy and Air Force personnel untrained in land warfare into harm’s way just to have sufficient ‘warm bodies’ on the ground.
I don’t talk about supporting the troops, while cutting money to the Veterans’ Administration.
I don’t talk about honoring veterans and their families while allowing minions under me to undercut them even registering to vote!
I don’t fire military officers for telling the truth about war, and keep only yes men and liars—right down to the shrinks who hide the number of attempted suicides in VA hospitals.

I could do this all day, couldn’t I? And all that without serious thought, really just knee jerk, not looking back over favorite blogs and news items.

The sad part is, all the things Rush Limbaugh and others of his ilk, like Ann Coulter, advocate are horridly unAmerican activities. THEY act like McCarthy come again, and the rest of us take the high moral road and get stomped upon. WE cannot lower ourselves to their level of tactics; but responsible and reasonable Americans need to fight the rhetoric of viciousness and lies with truth. And as I said above, for Rush & Co. that would be worse than me in black boots with a whip. Lash them all with reality……
