DID RUSH SLIMEBALL CROSS THE LINE?
I’ve been very quiet about the political circus that prevails here in
the good ole USA. Then I heard American talk show host Rush Limbaug’s
blatantly racial and gender commentary alluding to the notion a woman
or African American could not possibly be presidential material. I
found it patently offensive, racist and bigoted. Though I’m no fan of
any of the candidates I found Slimeball’s actions during the Democratic
Primaries revolting and an affront to the whole democratic process.
It’s my right not to like candidates and it’s my right not to vote for
them but it’s no ones right to “rig” an election.
On his show he promoted “rigging” the votes in Texas and Ohio only for
the sake of disrupting the election. Though his scheme only garnered a
9% influence on the total votes cast it still was a broad side assault
to the electoral process and democracy. Further, it was an act of
electoral terrorism since it was a direct assault on the will of the
voting people. In essence it was an assault on the Constitution of the
United States of America. AND, for all intents and purposes he promoted
terrorism as defined under the new Homeland Security Laws enacted by
George W. Bush. Rush Limbaug crossed the line and should face the same
scrutiny Ron Imus and Dwayne Chapman had to endure for their lack of
good judgment. Rush Limbaug promoted criminality and should be made
accountable for his actions against the United States of America. What
is good for the goose is good for the gander eh. Fact is, Rush should
face a trial.
With nations struggling to have a democratic and free nation such as
the people of Zimbabwe, (MDC, Movement for Democratic Change) and the
Free Burmese (NLD, National League for Democracy ), it is appalling an
American nationally known radio icon would suggest such a criminal act
on the Holy Grail of true Democracy, the right to vote. Rigging any
election is a crime and in this case it is a crime against the people
of the United Stares of America regardless of political persuasion. It
was an assault on the core tenet of a democratic society. What is the
point of voting if someone rigs an election? Sounds like something the
Military Junta of Burma is trying to do with their Constitutional
Referendum, “rig an election”.
Maybe Rush should go to the National Cemetery. He can view the
grave markers of all the men and women who gave their lives to protect
the right to vote and the Constitutional process. He should visit with
refugees from the world of terror and listen to their tales of human
suffering at the hands of dictators who’ve rigged elections. Then maybe
he will realize how reprehensible his actions were. He undermined the
will of the voting people and denied them the right to be heard and
their votes counted in a democratic fashion.
His support for everything King George W. Bush does should speak for
itself. George managed to side step the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights by passing executive orders giving him supreme rule both inside
and outside our borders. With total disregard for the core tenets of
this nation GW single-handedly torpedoed American Democracy and Rush
was by his side. Silly me, there is no American anymore for it is now
called the “North American Union” or did you hear about this yet? It’s
the by-product of NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. You
know, the Corporate Trade Agreement that sent millions of Canadian and
American jobs to third world countries while lining the pockets of
corporations, at the expense of the people of course. If you read the
fine print of NAFTA you’d discover this agreement also dissolves
national sovereignty for the sake of commerce. Yup, it’s all about the
money Paisan.
In light of this then maybe Rush is actually a patriot and a hero for
the new North American Union and corporations fore his act of electoral
terrorism has tainted American Democracy in the worst way.
Maybe someone should drop a dime on Rush to his advertisers and the EIB
Network. It worked on Ron Imus and Dwayne Chapman for their lack of
judgment. Their crimes palled in comparison to Rush’s act of
racial/gender bigotry and terrorism. What ever…………..
