Don't Doubt Him

Rush Limbaugh has made it as one of his purposes in life to study the thinking and behavioral patterns of people on the left. I believe he accurately summarizes what they are all about: power and control over the rest of us.

In the 1990s Rush first warned us about the "environmental whackos." Among other things, he warned that the SUV would be demonized. Rush was right. The news media always say "a person was hit by an SUV," not "a person was hit by a drunk driver." He saw through Al Gore's hysterical rants about man-made global warming. He showed us Gore's incredible hypocrisy, as Gore jetted around the world and lived in environmentally unfriendly mansions.

Rush was also right about the feminist movement, which was not about advancing women. It was about hating the fact that men were in positions of power and control. It was about advancing the idea that women should have the "right" to kill unborn babies. It was about debunking traditional values.

Now, Rush is warning us about how the left will use the financial crisis. He played the tape yesterday of Senator Chuck Schumer talking about how the "lowly mortgage" has brought down the financial markets. What? What about the irresponsible lending practices? What about the House and Senate banking committees, led by Barney Franks and Chris Dodd, blocking in 2003 and 2005 Republican efforts to set up a receivership corporation to handle bad debts? What about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, feathering the nests of politicians? No, it is us, the little guys, who are at fault for holding mortgages! Like SUVs, mortgages themselves will now be humanized and demonized, and be blamed for the financial failures, instead of looking at the effects of liberal government policies.

Yes, Rush says, it is the Marxist belief system that people on the left adhere to like glue. The problem, they think, is that too many of us are trying to own property. Too many of us are buying into the American dream, which the leftists thought they had banished long ago. Instead, we should all be realizing that we would be so much better off if we just let the government own all the property, and allow the leftists who control Congress and government agencies at all levels lay out for us the politically correct ways in which we are supposed to live our lives. They should own our property, not us.

As Rush often says, "Don't doubt me on this!"
