There's a lot of "America is awesome" in there (but of course, Obama looking pissed for a second a few years ago is PROOF!!!!! he hates America or something) And since you mentioned Rush Limbaugh, I had to toss this in: http://gawker.com/5926783...e-real-batman-conspiracy Ignore the goatse part, and just stick with the hilarious paranoia. I don't listen to him regularly, so I'm not able to broad-brush paint him... but on this one topic, I have to wonder if he's an idiot, or thinks his listeners are the most gullible people on earth.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help. There was a great teacher somewhere in your life. Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you've got a business -- you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen. The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.Was made by Rush Limbaugh (who you reflexively distrust), not Obama ( who you unquestionably trust).Now examine it.If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help.

Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet.41) We need to give the teachers unions( who spend billions on my campaign) everything they want. Lifelong pensions that bankrupt county and municipal governments, tenure that insures that they can never be fired no matter how lazy and incompetent they become, etc.. The fact that the quality of education is declining the more more we spend ( Not "invest". SPEND) is not to be noticed.2) Not "invest". SPEND. People make investments of their volition to get a tangible return. TAXES are confiscated ( taken) to spend on the collective ( root word of collectivist ) welfare. The gummint spends OUR money.3) What if you are in the highway construction business, Hmmmm? This is insulting to people who have sacrificed years of time and effort and risked every asset they had to start a business and make it flourish. More often than not they have failed several times and had to start again from scratch.4) Maybe the gummint created the innernet but the notion they invented it for the express purpose of promoting commerce is patently absurd and you know it. The gummint looks after the gummint. We, the people, are on our own.

Nobody does it alone. Is the success of your marriage totally all down to you, BRad?

I'll give you this much: You are a master of subtle non-mean sarcasm! I think I'll go look up some asinine hard-lefty blog and start posting the articles here, as a counterpoint to what you've posted.What ever happened to conservative writers like Buckley and Will? Now, it seems like the whole hard-right is going for nothing but one sound bite after another, rather than actually digging in for some well-researched work. I always enjoyed reading Buckley although I rarely agreed with him--he at least always gave the reader something to think about.
