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taxpayer land for miners via the outdated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.
