  So your propaganda tells you.  Ever try putting a little 
  critical thinking to that?  Of course not.  That is the nature
  of dogma.

  Either it was the "democrats who controled congress" who 
  toppled the Commies, or it was Reagan.  It was either Reagan
  who tossed this country $3T in debt doing so, or it was the
  "democrats who controled congress",  or else he did killed
  the Commies by magic?   You cannot have your cake and eat it 
  too.

  Wake up, gang, there is no free lunch, no matter what the
  brand name of a particular propaganda line is.

W> The repubs currenlty controlling congress have been
W> cutting "welfare for the rich" and "corporate welfare"

  Nope.  "Wise Use" for example.  Totally a Republican
  anti-environmental force.   Professional tit-suckers looking
  to be subsidized by either the taxpayer or the environment, 
  mostly the taxpayer, it seems.   Rich Boys who do not think
  cleaning up your own mess should be a cost of doing business.

  A perfect example of "Wise Use" propaganda is the so called
  "Property Rights Movement" as pushed by Limbaugh.  Professional
  tit-suckers pushing hysterical; "The hippies are coming, the 
  hippies are coming,!" legislation that the courts have forbidden 
  them.  They aint whom they claims to be.  Well funded and slick, 
  the hysteria has all the ear-marks of Urban Legend, and is hard 
  to kill with facts.

  But, if anybody can make a case that the powerful "Wise Use" 
  tit-suckers are bi-partisan, or represent primarily the
  common man, I will change my opinion.  But I have powerful
  evidence to the contrary....  Tits up, folks!

  Well, specifically?  How about welfare  land give-aways of 
  taxpayer land for miners via the outdated 
  mining law of 18xx, or subsidies for welfare loggers to 
  build taxpayer funded logging roads, or welfare cowboys
  as per this topic?  Hmmmm?   Would you like me to get 
  more specific?   

  Cut the propaganda, and wise up.  Get reality.

  Limbaughtomyville has no corresponding place in reality.
  Clue: Limbaugh spanks himself on the air.  Its a gag, a
  caricature, its funny.


W> If you want to cut welfare for the rich
W> vote in more Republicans.

  So Limbaugh & Co tell us.  Fortunately, the rest of the
  country can read.  AND THINK.  That is why Democrats push 
  education and science, while Limbaugh calls reasoned complex 
  discourse;  "psycho-babble", and science; a conspiracy 
  "funded by the Commies".

  Wake up, get reality, folks, do a little critical thinking.

... The free education provided by Limbaugh is worth every penny.
