To any and all of you rushoholics out there: there has never been a better time to quit Rush once and for all. Deep inside, you always knew you have to do that, but here is why this is the best opportunity you'll get:
Your addiction has nothing to offer you for the foreseeable future, except misery and depression.
Forty-eight interminable years separate Herbert Hoover from Ronald Reagan. This time, it will be much worse. Is that what you want?
Remember when Bush started plundering the country almost exactly to the second after taking office? We had our problems back then, but things were much better than they are now, and the liberals kept warning of severe consequences if we followed his recipes. Back then, the scambaugh's job was to sell republican rule, and so he made you feel good, even as Bush and his misunderadministration were squandering our hard-earned resources at a pace scarcely conceivable.
Well dear rushoholics, now the scambaugh's job is to make you hate your president, so forget about feeling good - he will do his best to make you feel worse and worse, even as things get better. And all the while, he plans to get richer off your money - the markups you pay for the crap that his advertisers sell.
Only about a day in the Obama presidency, and he has already started. Today I heard the only memorable call ever on the scambaugh's program. Usually it's dittoheads regurgitating their mantras, I can only take about a couple of minutes of it. But this call was from a woman, a small business owner, in dire financial straits like all her friends. She practically begged the scambaugh, to bring his devoted audience some hope, not just gloom, now that Obama and the democrats will be in charge for the next 4 years and who knows how much longer foreseeable future.
Of course, the scambaugh did no such thing. He had no hope to give her, just more of his 100%-pure bullsh*t and gloom in the first week of hope in many months. The reason is that the scambaugh can't conceive that his addicts might improve their personal situation through their own efforts (possibly, if only they kicked the habit of listening to him and believing him). But even if he did conceive that they could, he would never help them with that. The scambaugh's job is to make them be miserable now, just like under Bush it was his job to make them feel irrationally exhuberant, even as they were sinking deeper in debt and losing their earnings to asset inflation. And at the same time, his repub friends, who have no interest and no ability to get rich other than by stealing from everybody, were asset-stripping the US economy.
The woman may not have been a real dittohead, but that's not the point. The point is, as an observer of the drugs phenomenon, I figure that the point of drugs was that they make one feel better, even though many of them make one feel worse over time, even undermine one irreparably in health and finances. That was the point with Rush for all these years. But why would someone want to take a drug that makes you feel bad even when you take it?
So come on, rushoholics, this is your moment to wage your own version of the war on drugs, and finally kick the habit and the anthropoid scam that keeps on scamming you. It is a perfect time to kick the scam who is making you personally miserable, the disease who helps repubs slow down the country as it tries to rescue itself, the addiction who is responsible for your deplorable economic and mental condition. You will feel better, you will see things in a whole new and brighter light really quickly, and what's guaranteed, the rest of us will happily do without your rushoholic rants.
