KEEP LAUGHING

POST MID-TERM ELECTION 2006 OR PRE- PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 2008 - LAUGHTER REMAINS THE BEST MEDICINE. RUSH LIMBAUGH, THE CONSERVATIVE TALK SHOW HOST, SAYS "LIBERALS THINK THAT NOBODY REALLY EARNS THEIR MONEY. YOU EITHER INHERIT IT OR CHEAT PEOPLE OUT OF IT." THE JOKE'S ON BUSINESS PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO WORKED EVERY DAY OF THEIR ADULT LIVES TO MAKE A LIVING. RUSH ALSO QUIPS THAT AS A LIBERAL, "YOU HAVE TO TELL YOURSELF YOU'RE SMARTER THAN EVERYBODY ELSE, AND THEREFORE EVERYBODY ELSE NEEDS TO DEPEND ON YOU." HAVING KNOWN THAT I WAS NEVER SMARTER THAN MY CUSTOMERS WHO THE GOVERNMENT COULDN'T OUTSMART, I CHUCKLE AT LIBERALS WHO THINK THEY CAN OUTSMART ANYONE. FOR AMERICANS LIKE ME, CONSERVATISM WORKED WELL ENOUGH TO PROVIDE MY RETIREMENT.

RUSH WOULD ALSO SNICKER EVERY TIME HE HEARS OR READS ABOUT ANOTHER LAWSUIT TO CHALLENGE THE USE OR MISHANDLING OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES. THE HUMOR LIES NOT IN THE LEGITIMACY OF THE ISSUE, BUT IN THE MENTAL PICTURE OF JOHN EDWARDS AND HIS CADRE OF LAWYERS SALIVATING AT THE PUBLIC TROUGH WHERE THEY CAN DRAIN THE PUBLIC DRY AS THEY QUENCH THEIR THIRST FOR MONEY.

RUSH WOULD LAUGH TOO AT THE HYPOCRISIES OF MODERN POLITICAL CORRECTNESS ACCOMMODATING ITSELF NICELY INTO RELIGION AS GNOSTICISM. NO LONGER DO NATURAL OR THEOLOGICAL TRUTHS EXIST; TO GNOSTICS, TRUTHS ARE MALLEABLE, CHANGEABLE, AND ACCESSED ONLY BY SUPERIOR WISDOM, AVAILABLE TO THE ENLIGHTENED. FOR THE PUNCH LINE, GUESS WHO THE GNOSTICS MIGHT BE? THE LIBERALS, THE POLITICALLY CORRECT WHO IRONICALLY ARE AGNOSTICS TO THEIR CORES.

THE GNOSTIC AGENDAS - GAY RIGHTS, ENVIRONMENTALISM, GLOBAL WARMING, ABORTION, AND ECONOMIC RE-DISTRIBUTION, GOVERNMENT REGULATION AND PACIFICIST - LEAVE BOTH RUSH AND ME IN STITCHES WHEN WE COMPARE LIBERALS WITH THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH.
