Why are any of us here, on WH, writing comments? >><br /><br />Good question twoguys2012. <br /><br />I can think of three reasons to be here and comment (you may have more):<br /><br />1) entertainment<br />2) vent anger<br />3) change opinion<br /><br />I think our brilliant host (SF) does his best to do all three with focus on #3. It must take an enormous effort to create and maintain such a place. As well, when you put yourself out front you will be attacked. Thanks SF!<br /><br />Personally, I focus on #1 and #3. I would rather ride my bike or run a canyon the tell somebody to f*ck off on a blog. In my view, if you are going to tell someone to f*ck off then do it to somebody's face or on the freeway where you might face some recourse. You'll notice I am not anonymous on the internet. Perhaps that helps me govern myself. <br /><br />Irrational posts come from both sides. I have written some ugly responses to posters and authors over the years. Fortunately, I usually re-read them before I post and often do some editing. <br /><br />It's kind of like dishing some discipline on your kids; they might forget it if you blow your stack but you won't; so act as if they are going to remember every-single-thing you do.KPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788103894599339102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-36695545625489552592012-03-06T17:48:03.906-07:002012-03-06T17:48:03.906-07:00The left will make everyone else pay for everythin...The left will make everyone else pay for everything they can get away with.

I listen to audio books in my car and never turn on the radio here at home (unless I access Sirius XM on Mr. AOW's iPad).<br /><br />I can't really comment specifically about Limbaugh's radio show as I've listened to it in part only three times -- and that was quite a long time ago.<br /><br />I used to read the Limbaugh letter, which a friend gave me. Good stuff, no doubt, back then (2005-2008).<br /><br />I don't doubt that Limbaugh dishes out what the Left deserves. But this time, I think that he went too far -- especially if he called Fluke a slut three days in a row. Why would he harp on that when there really are many other important matters that need to be brought to the listeners' attention?Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7674333464171899932.post-27573218670037306992012-03-06T05:51:14.300-07:002012-03-06T05:51:14.300-07:00AOW, I practically revere Rush -- not so much for ...AOW, I practically revere Rush -- not so much for what<br />s he's doing today as for the vitally important role he has played in unmasking the hypocrisy, illogic and multiple standards practiced by Democrats and the Media, and opening these formerly "unmentioned and unmentionable" things to spirited discussion. Rush, almost singlehandedly helped alter the face of the nation and change the course of history.<br /><br />For a long time he was brilliantly outrageous, witty and wise -- almost a latter day Jonathan Swift -- but lately he seems to have gotten a bit lazy, and drones on with too much standardized anti-Obama rhetoric. These days days I find Rush more tiremsome than offensive.<br /><br />Let's face it: MOST of his targets richly deserve to be insulted, upbraided, verbally abused, pilloried, hanged, burnt at the stake or drawn and quartered.<br /><br />Too bad he's become less humorous and more doctrinaire these last few years.<br /><br />BUT, I still listen to him almost every day -- though not continuously.
