Republican Party Murdered by Rush Limbaugh and Sean
Hannity
February 10, 2008
Conservative spokesmoron Rush Limbaugh and Reagan worshiper
Sean Hannity have finally been bitch-slapped by the ice-cold
breeze of political and social reality.
God long ago recalled his talent on loan to Rush (with
interest) and Sean still believes Ronald Reagan was once
president, even given the fact that everybody else knows
Ronald’s wife Nancy and her personal astrologer ran the
country, not Ronald. Ronald had departed on a tour of
alternate universes.
Radio entertainers like Rush and Sean with delusional
fantasies are amusing. After a while though, their lack of
an anchor in reality renders them bothersome and pathetic;
but mostly just plain pathetic. Rush and Sean claim to be
influential. And they are. The irony is that together their
influence has motivated a mass exodus of American
Republicans away from the Republican party due to
disillusionment with Rush and Sean’s concept of
conservatism.
Rush and Sean’s personal definitions of “conservatism” are
unrealistic, presumptions and religiously bigoted. No amount
of blabbering on the radio will ever cause a rebirth of
Reagan conservatism. Times have changed. The world has
changed. Politics have changed and American values have
changed. Americans have become disgusted with
self-proclaimed conservatives who believe government should
stay out of peoples’ lives while the “pure” conservatives themselves
still dictate how people live and think.
The results of Super Tuesday’s primary circus stand as
irrefutable proof that “pure” conservatives have lost their
stranglehold on the Republican party. Public disdain for
ultra-conservative doctrine has caused an event unique in
American history. It is now certain the only candidates
running for president this year are Obama, Clinton (not sure
which Clinton), and McCain. I believe this is the first time
the Republican party has ever permitted a Democrat to be
selected as the Republican party nominee for President. The
Republican party as we know it is in its death throes. Good
riddance.
Republicans find themselves in a lose-lose situation for
America. No matter who wins the general election, we end up
with a Democrat in the White House. That bodes ill for the
middle class, it portends the end of credible health care in
this country and invites every terrorist in the world to
ignore our immigration laws and take up residence (and their
war) on our territory. Thank you Rush and Sean, and all of
your “pure” conservatives out there for
turning almost all of the Republicans in this country
against their own political party. It would not surprise me
to discover you are both on the Clinton payroll.
It is time for a new definition and practice of
conservatism; one that truly respects the principle of less
government (including state and local government) and a
position that champions the right of American citizens (and
I mean American “citizens”) to privacy and
personal choice. The American people have had enough of the
ultra-conservative religious influence on our lives, our
government and our country’s foreign politics. It appears
quite the paradox that the ultra-conservatives conveniently
ignored the intent of our founding fathers to separate state
and religion.
The only current path left for Republicans is to wait out
four disastrous years of a Democrat administration and in
the meantime work very hard at rebuilding a new Republican
party that is more in touch with the realities of today's
world. Hopefully, time is on our side. With any luck, all of
the ultra-conservative old farts with their finger up the
Republican party’s asshole will have succumbed to old age
before the Clinton-style Democrats (including McCain)
totally destroy America and the American way of life we are
allegedly entitled to enjoy.
