During the past couple of days, the United States of America was treated to a “diversion” from the harsh reality of the very difficult economic situation that concerns most Americans.
That ”diversion” came from the recent issue of birth control, Sandra Fluke, and Rush Limbaugh.
What happened was last week, conservative talk radio show host, Rush Limbaugh, during his midday radio show talked up on the issue of both birth control and this woman by the name of Sandra Fluke.

What seems to have caused you to excerpt your own blog?
Perhaps their new names should be "Algae party", for they are the scum of the earth.
Here is the long form from the blog:
During the past couple of days, the United States of America was treated to a “diversion” from the harsh reality of the very difficult economic situation that concerns most Americans.
That ”diversion” came from the recent issue of birth control, Sandra Fluke, and Rush Limbaugh.
What happened was last week, conservative talk radio show host, Rush Limbaugh, during his midday radio show talked up on the issue of both birth control and this woman by the name of Sandra Fluke. What was the “thought crime“ that Mr. Limbaugh committed to “so offend the liberals“? Mr. Limbaugh refered Ms. Fluke as a “slut”. Yes, that is what Mr. Limbaugh called Ms. Fluke last week that got the liberals underwear all into knots.
While Mr. Limbaugh should have used better words for what he has said and has since apologized for calling Ms. Fluke a “slut”, fallout from this who incident still continues to be felt in the conservative talk radio show industry. A number of advertisers have dropped Rush’s show, add to that, a few AM/FM radio stations as well. There has even been calls for the Federal Communications Commission to have Mr. Limbaugh’s show taken off the air.
Having said that, what surprises me is that while the liberals go nuts over what Mr. Limbaugh has said, at the same time, there is complete or close to complete “silence” when it comes to liberals and “offensive speech.”
Here are examples of offensive speech that comes from the liberals which gets not only non attention, but also is met with a ho-hum attitude:
From the SooperMexican.com website:”While the leftist news media industrial complex is slamming Rush Limbaugh for the Obama administration, liberals get to say whatever they want without any coverage.
Witness Mike Malloy, who touts himself as a “liberal/progressive talk show host”, who made this disgusting comment about the victims of the recent tornadoes in the midwest:
“Their God, if this is the way they want to look at it, keeps smashing them into little grease spots on the pavement, in Alabama, in Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia and Oklahoma, you know the bible belt..”
The above comments IMHO, come as NO SURPRISE, because the liberal talk radio show hosts KNOW that they can say whatever they want and there will not be any objections to what they say. But if a conservative radio talk show host says what they, the liberals believe to be offensive, than there is yelling and screaming for the conservative talk radio show host’s head. What it all says, in the reading is the level of hypocrisy that now comes from the left and it is BIGTIME.
Going on further,this past weekend, Bill Maher on his show, calls conservative and tea party member as well as former Alaska Governor and GOP/Republican 2008 Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin a very vulgar name. Where is the members of the NOW ORGANIZATION when you need them? Instead the results are crickets chirping.
Oh well, here was the response, which was NONE:“The National Organization for Women (NOW) refused to comment on Maher’s use of the derogatory term. A rep told FOXNews.com it is a “known fact” that NOW does not correspond with FOX News.”
NOT SURPRISED there. That was expected.
Both of the above samples is WHY there is NO condemnation coming from the liberal community in regards to their own.
This goes to show that hypocrisy coming from the left not only has no bounds, but it is for EVERYONE in the United States of the America for ALL to SEE and HEAR.
HYPOCRISY, thy name is LIBERALISM.
I posted this on another thread yesterday.
We conservatives have some difficult choices to make. Signing a petition may be symbolic, but it has no actual affect and everyone knows it. This might as well be Dennis Kucinich and his monthly bill to impeach George Bush.
Here is where things stand:
1) Currently, it appears as though Romney will garner enough delegates tomorrow to capture the nomination. If that actually happens, a lot of us will stay home November because we just can’t bring ourselves to vote for him.
2) The Rush kerfuffal has allowed the left to divert attention from other things and, IMO, it will give them a cause and a reason to go after conservatives, conservatism and talk radio in a way we have never seen before.
3) We know that the left is not concerned about the future of America, only about increasing or adding to their power. To that end, they have reduced education to propaganda, driven God out of the schools and are working on driving God out of America, and are now desperately trying to maintain their hold on our healthcare as well as turning sex into a public sport; starting with the likes of Ms. Fluke!
4) As we watch our country descend into a third world abyss from which it is unlikely we will ever return, is hoping for victory at the ballot box in November or signing pointless petitions REALLY the best we can do? In the late 1950s, Rosa Parks objected to the fact that black Americans were required to occupy the back of the bus and took action. In the 1960s, black Americans objected to being treated like second class citizens and took to the streets as well as becoming Freedom Riders; a cause that led to the death of many of them. Meanwhile, we conservatives sit around assuring ourselves that things will change in November. If Romney ends up as our candidate, we know how November is going to turn out - Obama will get his second term and America will breath its last gasp as a free nation.
So, I ask you - is this the best we can do? Are we so apathetic that we are unwilling or afraid to take the necessary action to regain control of our country?? At best, we can hope to divide America into two countries - one America for conservatives and one America for those whose sole goal in life is to suckle the teat of big government. At worst, we lose our country and our freedom and become Greece or Europe.
WE can choose what tomorrow looks like. But, if tomorrow is going to be bright and shiney, the time for choosing is growing very short. What’s it going to be - fish, or cut bait?
This is why this coming November is going to be very important, because if Obama gets in again, than that will plant the seeds for a second American revolution down the road which could be the result.
Ted Nugent on a Pogo Stick. And he called her a "prostitute." And said she was sleeping with three guys a night. And said she was buying condoms in the sixth grade. And said she had said she was having so much sex she couldn't walk. And said she had said she was having so much sex, that she was "base" and "immoral."
He also spent three days making up all kinds of things she supposedly said about her sex life and presenting them as true. And people, otherwise intelligent people, here on this website, believe she said them. He called her a slut and prostitute because she 'said' them - but all of the comments she's suppose to have said about her sex life?
He made it up. And he presented it as true.
Because she never mentioned her sex life or her contraception. That's why he's in trouble. It's not just because he called her a slut. Claiming it's about calling her a slut is missing the point.
To the liberals, anything conservatives say that is so opposed by the liberals would be deemed a “thought crime” in their eyes.
Have you grabbed transcripts from 2/29, 3/1, and 3/2 and read what Limbaugh claims this woman said about her sex life? Not that he called her a slut, prostitute, base, and immoral. But the things he told his listeners she supposedly said, the things people on this forum still believe she said?
You would be incensed if a liberal pretended that a conservative woman had said those things about her sex life, had announced them on international radio, and had then called her a slut and a prostitute based on things he claimed she said, but she really didn't say. You would be angered if a host of liberals still believed she said them based on his lies.
That's what Limbaugh did.
The conundrum is this - we keep relying on the ballot box to fix the ills of the country because conservatives play by the rules. However, in this election, the issue is not a choice between radical leftist candidate A and conservative rightwing candidate B. This year, it appears that the choice will be between candidate A and candidate A-lite. IOW, it's a wash; neither one will alter the course America is currently following.
In addition, we keep hoping that by voting our conscience, we will alter the course of America. And, yet, look at what the past 60 years (for example) have brought us. We know that a huge part of the problem is Congress, but we keep re-electing the same people and sending them back. We have 535 people in Washington who are responsible for the problems America faces and those same 535 people who CREATED these problems all claim that THEY know how to fix them!! So, gullible John and Jane Voter go to the polls to vote for THEIR Congresscritter again, because it isn't THEIR Congresscritter that's screwing up the works, it's EVERYONE ELSE'S Congresscritter!!!
All of which makes the timing of a "second American revolution" rather interesting. If things go as they are currently expected, what difference will it make if we have, shall we say, an "American spring" this summer, or next?? With either of the candidates that we are currently expecting to see on the ballot, the future remains relatively the same. And, that's not good.
This is why I have gotten really cynical over the course of the GOP primary election season. Your post said it better than I.
Your opinion, FWIW.
What is going on is that the liberals will not take a stand when their own call conservative women names, let alone demand an apology or when everyday people suffer after a natural disaster. There is nothing but silence.
Yes. I've read Fluke's statement and the transcripts of Limbaugh's 2/29 and 3/1 shows. But I know that takes time and effort. Go forward, keep posting, and take care.

You have been here since 1998. I don’t remember you from any other postings but it strikes me as really strange that you have posted so much in defense of the left wing activist. If you are a sleeper, you have a great deal of patience. Even so, I don’t like you.
If I have written anything supporting the logic used by or actual statement made by that left-wing ultra-feminist activist Democrat plant, then it was a mistake and I apologize.
I believe conservative ideas are superior to liberal ideas. I believe conservatives can win in the arena of public discourse by tearing apart liberal sophistry and lunacy, using conservative ideas. I don't believe we need to resort to lying about what a liberal said and then slandering a liberal based on those lies.
Once we do that, we've lost the moral foundation to complain when liberals do the same thing to conservatives.
Before this incident, if a Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a "t**t", or Ed Schultz called Laura Ingraham a "slut" and conservatives complained, we had the moral high ground and liberals could only respond with their own filth, by saying "well, she is," or trying to ignore it.
Now, the next time a liberal calls a strong conservative woman a derogatory word and conservatives complain, liberals will just smile and say, "so what, Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut, and conservative blogs everywhere supported his right to do so, and conservative bloggers piled on and kept calling her a slut. You're all a bunch of hypocrites."
Conservative ideas are superior to liberal ideas. We could have beaten her on the merits of her speech. The things she really said could be torn apart and are no basis for forcing religious affiliated employers to give up their First Amendment rights. We didn't have to make up things she supposedly said about her sex life and call her a slut and a prostitute (and base and immoral because of all the sex she supposedly said she was having) based on what she supposedly said, when she didn't say those things at all.
Following Limbaugh's lead, the threads about that left-wing ultra-feminist activist Democrat plant read like Democrat Underground threads, except that JimRob doesn't allow profanity. We sunk to liberal levels.
Even so, I don’t like you.
Understood. I've tried to explain myself.
