It's an interesting situation for Rush Limbaugh to admit that he is in fact - a drug addict. Normally one should feel compassion for him because of his situation, but Rush has made a career out of putting down the less fortunate and engaging in his daily moral masturbation ritual with his holier than thou listeners that one wonders if Rush deserves the same compassion due to someone who was less of a hypocrite. Should the liberals and the "femi-Nazis" feel compassion for Rush Limbaugh's sins?
The answer is - yes. I think this is a blessing and - if Rush is willing to come down off his high horse I would like to welcome him to the real world. Rush has made hundreds of millions of dollars spreading his message of hate and bigotry and now his career is over. I don't see how he can continue to be the voice of the morally superior having been addicted to narcotics.
I therefore want to be the first to extend my hand to Rush and ask him to come clean - tell the truth - and denounce your past. If you want the world to forgive you - you must first ask for forgiveness and turn away from the sins of your life and get real. There is a place for you in this world Rush - but it's a different place than where you have been. To receive compassion you must be willing to accept it.
So - on behalf of bleeding heart liberals - we wish you a full recovery and hope that you can turn your life around and become a normal and fully functional member of society. This can be an opportunity for growth and can result in you becoming a far better person. So - we stand with your conservative listeners to wish you the best in your recovery.

I appeal to all readers to spread this message. I think it's high time we ended the hatred between "Liberals" and "Conservatives" words that are artificial and meaningless. It is stupid to fight over bullshit. Everyone wants what's right and what is best for humanity. It just so happens that we don't agree on the solution.
The world is in grave trouble right now and humanity can not afford to continue on the path of bullshit and illusion. It is time to get real. To look for real solutions to real problems. It is time to take responsibility and make this world a better place to live for everyone on the planet regardless of politics, race, religion, or ethnic origin.
As a white male bleeding heart liberal I make the fisrt move and challenge everyone to put your beliefs to the test of reality and to go with what's real.
Rush has a hard road ahead of him. He is about to come face to face with the real world in a way that he can't bullshit his way out of. If we can convert Rush to a realist we can do anything. Perhaps he will see the light the way brother David Brock did and turn away from the Dark Side and join the human race as a fully productive member of society.

Vice President Dick Cheney is trying to sell the reason for the Iraq war based on 9-11. Cheney says, "Remember what we saw on the morning of 9/11. And knowing the nature of these enemies, we have as clear a responsibility as could ever fall to government,"
The problem with this is that Iraq and Saddam had nothing to do with 9-11. Bin Laden - who is responsible - resides in Pakistan - who is our "ally" and is funded by Saudi Arabia - who is also our "ally". It seems to me that in order to protect the people of America from terrorism the Bush administration should first correctly identify who the enemy is.

Bush and Cheney are caught in a perpetual loop as the have to continue to try to explain why we went to war with Iraq - why we are still there - and what we are currently doing there - and how we are going to get out. This game has no end.
