Are Canadians wimps or just socialists?
Today I read that Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Laura can't be broadcast in Canada because of Canada's strict "hate speech" laws. I just can't believe that Canadians would put up with their government telling them what they could listen to. I've never heard either one of them say anything even remotely hateful--harsh, yes; funny, yes; annoying, yes; narrow, yes; conservative, yes; bombastic, yes; parody, yes; snide, yes; repetitive, yes; smart, yes; incisive, yes; common sense, yes.Dr. Laura, at least back in the days when I could get her program, was awfully hard on stupid people, racist people, whiney people, and people who had not treated their children well. Dr. Laura got bumped here in Columbus (in my opinion) in the fall of 2001 because she was outrageous enough to say that babies should only be adopted by a married man and woman. Money talks, and sometimes it says good-bye. As far as I know, single adoptive parents didn't interpret that sound research as hate speech, but gays did, and they have tremendous power--far beyond their numbers might suggest, because they are wealthy, educated, and political. They certainly had some power with Clear Channel. There's a solution--you change the channel if it makes you mad.
Read Dr. Laura's blog entry, "For years," to see what Canadians and Ohioans are missing.
I watched Limbaugh interviewed on Fox this afternoon. He said the 5 weeks he spent in drug rehab were the most valuable of his life. He became addicted to OxyContin after spinal surgery. Later he lost his hearing and had a cochlear implant,a device that converts a mechanical signal of hearing into a electrical signal that the brain can interpret. Usually the Left would wet themselves, fawn and shuffle to show sympathy to a druggie with a handicap, a two-fer. But not Rush whom they hate so bad it makes them feel good, like they're doing something patriotic or spiritual. I guess it got them in shape for hating Bush.

Christ, you're illiterate.
A lot of people in recovery, including a lot of liberals in recovery, had a great deal of sympathy for Limbaugh's addiction and were pulling for his recovery. He lost that good will the day he came back on the air and promptly twisted the meaning of the 12 steps into a fresh way to blame liberals for his self-created problems.
It's obvious that he passed through rehab without opening his heart and mind to what he needs to do to get well; that's not uncommon among people who believe they're too smart to really be addicts. He's never learned personal accountability. A relapse is likely inevitable if he's not using again already.
Don't blame Christ for my colloquialisms and I won't blame him for your rudeness.
If you don't think Rush learned anything about accountability, then you didn't watch the interview, because that was his point. He's always preached accountability and personal responsibility. That's what his show is about.
If liberals supported him, they were certainly quiet about. And since when does a 12-stepper judge another's route to sobriety? KISS.
Your talent too is on loan from God.
He's always preached accountability and personal accountability, yes.
For others.
For himself...well, if it weren't hard, , shameful, uncomfortable and embarrassing, we wouldn't call it "accountability," would we?
It's really hard for sociopaths (particularly those who, as I said, think they're too smart to be addicts) to get sober. They're trying too hard to game the system. Limbaugh's still at that point.
So, by the way, is the nation's most famous dry drunk, George W. Bush...to the everliving detriment of the country and world.
Who knew you listened to Rush Limbaugh, hanging on his every word, analyzing the deep meaning of a conservative talk show host, without any filtering from media matters or Daily Kos.
