Harry Reid’s cojones bypass surgery was successfully reversed last week, albeit temporarily and for the wrong reasons.
Democrats, led by the aforementioned senate majority leader, are facing down a frightening menace that, if not exterminated soon, could mean the end of our way of life and perhaps even the world as we know it.
They’ve devoted time and resources in this unwavering struggle against evil. Harry Reid’s leadership in the effort to take down this threat to humanity is Churchillian in its inspiration and Patton-esque in execution. The enemy? Why, Rush Limbaugh of course.
Harry “we lost” Reid is assailing Limbaugh for his “phony soldiers” remark, conveniently scrapping the context as politicians tend to do. If Reid wants to see somebody unpatriotic and demoralizing to the troops, he need look no farther than his bathroom mirror, but then again, this is the reason for Reid’s recent actions.
What Limbaugh did or didn’t say is of no national-interest consequence. It is the reaction of Harry Reid, a high ranking U.S. senator, that deserves scrutiny. Harry Reid is the man in a position to fund or not fund our troops, not Rush Limbaugh. Harry Reid is the man in a position to either place fear in the hearts of our enemies or hope, not Rush Limbaugh.
Talk hosts simply comment on these things, and people listen. This can of course be extremely dangerous – to politicians like Harry Reid.
When it comes to accusing somebody else of not supporting the troops, Harry Reid is like a thief running out of a department store with a swiped flat screen TV who’s pointing at some kid and accusing him of stealing a pack of gum. This is a shameless distraction on Reid’s part to cover his own pathetic past of providing aid and comfort to the enemy, nothing more.
In the larger picture, can you believe the U.S. Senate and House are taking time to deal with drawing up resolutions denouncing and supporting, respectively, a private citizen with a radio show? Your tax dollars at work. What’s next? A joint resolution ordering NBC to spend more money on sitcom R&D?
No matter what your opinion of all this is, you have to admit that Harry Reid accusing somebody of being unpatriotic and anti-U.S. troops is a bit like Britney Spears saying that Ashlee Simpson should be viciously bra-snapped for lip syncing.
Every American of any political leaning should shudder at the idea of a man who holds a high political office using that position in order to silence the opinion of private citizens – be it Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Air America, Michael Moore or anything in between – if anything else would fit in between. This is the kind of political tyranny Americans have fought and died to prevent, and it is further evidence that Harry Reid is unfit for office.
Harry Reid is attempting to use his political position to silence the opinion of a private citizen in order to “defend our troops” ? troops who are overseas fighting terrorist thugs so they don’t gain power and use that position to silence the voices of private citizens. If that doesn’t give you an irony-induced belly laugh, nothing will.
Rush Limbaugh issued a challenge to Harry Reid to come on his program and have it out. My own challenge to Reid and many other Democrats can be summed up in a sentence: If you would act as if terrorists are half as dangerous to the future of America as talk radio, we might actually make some progress in our national security.
If Rush Limbaugh ever gives up “the golden EIB microphone,” it shouldn’t be because an out-of-control politician hell-bent on silencing his detractors issued a totalitarian-esque decree – it should be because Limbaugh, in an act of bipartisan charity, auctioned the microphone off and used the proceeds to pay for Mr. Reid’s straight jacket and court-appointed psychiatrist.
It’s our right and often our duty to criticize our government. When the government starts thinking the right and duty to return the favor belongs to it, we’re in trouble.
And when it comes to people who need to be removed from office, the list doesn’t end with Harry Reid. Sen.Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, wondered aloud on the Senate floor if Limbaugh was “high on his drugs again.” Harkin should at the very least be censured, as making this kind of insensitive substance abuse wisecrack in such proximity to any number of Kennedys is wildly inappropriate.
