View Full Version : Rush Again.
Say all you want about how successful, how much money he pulls in.
The man is an idiot. Of course Acorn is part of the conspiracy
Limbaugh: We know that technological advancement is going along at light speed. And yet during this period of time, whether it be the last 57 years or be it the last 20 years, it seems that a majority of the black population has remained angry, frustrated, and behind. They've been left behind. They are acting like they've been left behind, and of course we've heard that this is because of racism, natural systemic institutional racism in America, that we are unfair, that this country is just horrible and rotten.
...The federal government became the father. The father didn't have to hang around in order for the kids to be okay, depending on how you define okay. But as you study more and more of this ACORN stuff, you find that it has been part of an entire movement that has been going on for two, maybe three decades, right under our noses.
We thought that it was just liberal welfare policies and all that that kept blacks from progressing while other minorities grew and prospered, but no, it is these wackos from Bill Ayers to Jeremiah Wright to other anti-American Afrocentric black liberation theologists with ACORN, and Barack Obama is smack dab in the middle of it, they have been training young black kids to hate, hate, hate this country, and they trained their parents before that to hate, hate, hate this country. It was a movement. It was a Bill Ayers, anti-capitalist, anti-American educational movement. ACORN is how it was implemented, right under our noses.
It has been a movement, it has been a religion, and Obama and Jeremiah Wright and William Ayers were all up to their big ears in it.

What we have is a very accurate assessment of what is going on.
Rush gets it.
Rush gets it??
Sort of like a radio right wing KKK grand dragon selling tickets to a lynching
Racist nonsense sold to sheep to placate their bad dreams about a "Negro" president, and his conspiratorial rise. How else could this happen in white America without a conspiracy? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
As I said..... Rush is an idiot.
Edit: Racist Idiot
Take a look at the dems...that is where your racist live. Rush is not a racist for pointing that out. He is on the money in his analysis. Do you honestly believe Obama is a not a racist????
but no, it is these wackos from Bill Ayers to Jeremiah Wright to other anti-American Afrocentric black liberation theologists with ACORN, and Barack Obama is smack dab in the middle of it, they have been training young black kids to hate, hate, hate this country, and they trained their parents before that to hate, hate, hate this country. It was a movement.Yeah Rush is just pointing out the truth? And Obama and the Dems have "been training young black kids to hate, hate, hate this country"
The smell of desperation from Rush and like minded racists who see the first black president in history rapidly approaching. Little minds with primitive racial theories and fears.

Sorry Hcap, but the only desperation evident is the desperation from those like you who won't allow any discussion at all about why some segments of the black community have languished so badly under the heavy hand of government "assistance". Anyone who dares touch on an honest discussion of the disintegration of the black family is labeled racist. Pitiful as usual on your part. But, I called it - anyone who doesn't vote for your messiah will be labeled a racist, and you proved me right yet again.
Listen up Javert, I don't dismiss all of welfare reform. I believe in teaching a man to fish is more important than endless giveaways of fish-although sometimes taking care of immediate needs of poorly fed men is a must.
But Limpbag is devolving into a number of off the wall manias.
1-Black people are "languishing" because the government has made it easy to be lazy. Hey just disregard the last 200 years.
2-Various left wing organizations and liberals themselves have ""been training young black kids to hate, hate, hate this country"
3-Therefore primitive racial fears of blacks revolting or rioting in the streets if Obama wins and the coming race wars. Nat Turner anyone?
Limpbag is stoking fears, and playing to that audience of the Church of self reliance. Nothing wrong with self reliance. But the rest of his diatribe is chocked full of key references to a slave revolt led by Obama, Acorn and of course Liberals

One problem we may all face with Obama holding a 14pt. lead is that should he lose the election ( as remote as it may seem ) , the nation will literally be turned upside down . Talk about accusations of racism . Riots will likely occur in every large urban area on the map . Obama's people think this election is a done deal and to pull the carpet out from underneath them would be lethal .

2-Various left wing organizations and liberals themselves have ""been training young black kids to hate, hate, hate this country" Two words for you - Revrand Al. One more - Michelle. another point, Obama's reply to the little girl when asked why he wanted to be president, coupled with his attack on America speech in the shadow of Hitler's ghoust. the man hates this o****ry, his wife hates it, his spritiual leader hates it, and his friend andmentor bombed it twice.
3-Therefore primitive racial fears of blacks revolting or rioting in the streets if Obama wins and the coming race wars. Nat Turner anyone? It was
the gopher himself, Carville, who suggested on CNN that there would be riots if OBama lost. It is Obama's campaign that keeps saying whites are racist if they vote against Obama becasue he is black, while totally expecting all black to vote for him. Duplicty, as Ralph would say.

It wasn't my premise - just a question...I would have guessed you to be along the lines that you stated...look, I don't think Obama is the greatest, but I find the fury & hatred that you and others direct at him, undeserved.
Too liberal? Fine - but it's easy to spin every act or association in the worst way with the result- a bunch of distortion...there's a desperate search to tar him, the latest being ACORN...he answered that pretty well saying that he was on their side in a case years ago - "along with the justice department"...any other involvement doesn't amount to much.
Then we have the Ayers link...held fund raisers for Obama big deal..in his living room! :rolleyes: ...served on a board with Obama :sleeping: :sleeping: ...yes, yes, unrepentant terrorist...also selected man of the year in Chicago - seems like the man has led a good life in the time Obama knew him.
The thing that I'd grant you was most disturbing was the reverand Wright association...a jerk and a racist...Obama would have shown better judgement to disassociate himself from him long ago...Obama's not the most confrontational guy in the world and his diplomacy skills may serve us well, but he should have condemned him early on...but we all make mistakes and I can't call that one anywhere near unpardonable...he is not responsible for Wright's rants.

You're way off base, 'cap. Nowhere in touch with reality. How the Race Mongers continually stoke the fires of hatred within black communities across this land is by continually reminding them that they're a victimized people -- that whitey is still out to get them at every turn -- to hold them back -- to stifle legitimate opportunities, etc., etc. As usual, you have it all backwards. According to the race hustlers, all the whiteys are conspiring against the poor black folks, and this is why so many just can't get ahead -- yada, yada, yada. To be even more specific -- it's whitey and the Jews who are out to do all blacks in.

So pill popping causes people to hate? Your leaping too far here for me to follow you. If that is what you are saying, how do you explain JFK, a far bigger druggie than Rush ever was?

I always thought the "black QB" disquisition was very good --- and it was self-sabotaged by the choice of Donovan McNabb as an example. Wrong, wrong, wrong. :bang:
So, to separate the trenchant wheat from the bombastic chaff --- THAT is our task, boys and girls.
(:Visibly daunted. :eek: )
TR...can you stay focused long enough to tell us what exactly Rush said that makes him a hater? I mean, quote him, not filter it through your perceptions.
And, you made reference to the drugs, like it had some relevance to the thread. Are you now telling me you were just rambling and your post had nothing to do with anything? Work with me, dude, let it out. I'm no mind reader, and your font is not too clear.

and white people aren't! That can't be right isn't Rush white it would be hard to fine a black person as angry as Rush and Savage. Aren't the good white folks of Texas threatening to succeed from the Union, what about the tea party it seems to me that white people are the ones that this country should be worried about. Of course Rush and Savage aren't really angry they just work everyone else up to make a buck and fly around in private jets. How to you get so upset when you are in a private jet not waiting in lines etc. Its an act I wouldn't be surprise if Rush was a Democrat.
Joblessness is on the rise if so many black people are being taken care of by the state then I assume its the white people that are losing the jobs through no fault of their own. Seems like that would make a person angry. You lose your job and the CEO's get bonuses and yet white people aren't angry and blacks are the threat and don't appreciate being allowed to breathe this good ole Christian/American air .
Rush needs an update he can't see whats in front of his face. The man is trying to rerun Willie Horton which he has done what about once a week, whenever their is a slow day. WILLIE HORTON,WILLIE HORTON!!!!! and he gets a pay check for this and you all actually listen to this man?
WILLIE HORTON,WILLIE HORTON now you woe me money I said "WILLIE HORTON".

Some more wit and wisdom from the leader of the republican party.....
1. I mean, let’s face it, we didn’t have slavery in this country for over 100 years because it was a bad thing. Quite the opposite: slavery built the South. I’m not saying we should bring it back; I’m just saying it had its merits. For one thing, the streets were safer after dark.
2. You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.
3. Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?
4. Right. So you go into Darfur and you go into South Africa, you get rid of the white government there. You put sanctions on them. You stand behind Nelson Mandela — who was bankrolled by communists for a time, had the support of certain communist leaders. You go to Ethiopia. You do the same thing.
5. Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it.

Having treated many a patient with paralysis agitans, this quote is the most telling about this windbag
"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease. He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. ... This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting." --on an ad by Michael J. Fox endorsing Claire McCaskill for Senate for supporting embryonic stem cell research."
Or the drug addicted sanctimonious one preaching ths :"Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river, too." --in 1995
1. MJ is known to have gone off his meds to make a power presentation before congress and the public to further his agenda. Rush correctly pointed that out, but the MEDIA are the ones who "looped" his arm wving to make a story out of nothing. I know - was tune din live the day it happened.

"They oughtta change Black History Month to Black Progress Month and start measuring it." nothing racist about this, its pro black progress.
"Look, let me put it to you this way: the NFL all too often looks like a game between the Bloods and the Crips without any weapons. There, I said it." an inconvenient truth? ?
Limbaugh lampoons the destructiveness of organizations like the NAACP, through sarcasm and sometimes provocative statements. meanwhile the left shouts down anyone who points out the failures of so-called "Black" leaders as rascist. The truth is the real race hustlers are Jackson, Sharpton, et al.
NOT racist huh

It's not about race with Obama it's about policy. But libs can't defend the record spending nor the taking over of private companies and banks; nor the foisting of national healthcare on is, even while we're being told healthcare lite, i.e. Medicare, is going in the toilet. They can't defend it so they have to call us is racists.

yeah I know. I guess its because they never get to listen to talk radio so they don't know how it works. they wouldn't listen to a Limbaugh or a Savage because they're pre-programmed to think they're evil drugged up "extremists". and the liberal talk shows are such failures that you can't find them on the dial.

Some more of limpbags racism. From another site.
http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2549
"In 1992, on his now-defunct TV show, Limbaugh expressed his ire when Spike Lee urged that black schoolchildren get off from school to see his film Malcolm X: "Spike, if you're going to do that, let's complete the education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the theater, and then blow it up on their way out."
"The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."
As a young broadcaster in the 1970s, Limbaugh once told a black caller: "Take that bone out of your nose and call me back." A decade ago, after becoming nationally syndicated, he mused on the air: "Have you ever noticed how all composite pictures of wanted criminals resemble Jesse Jackson?"
When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the "Movin' On Up" theme song from TV's Jeffersons when he mentioned her.

Go sing a few stanzas of "Barack the Magic Negro"
Get back to us in the real world later.
Are you aware that Barack the Magic Negro came about because a liberal columnist in the LA Times wrote a column referring to Obama as the Magic Negro?
I guess its only racist when a conservative does it, but okay when a liberal does it.
Did he also write the lyrics?
Not black enough for blacks?
A non-threatening "safe" black for whites?
Limpbag using race to snicker and cackle.
"Barack The Magic Negro Lyrics"
Barack the Magic Negro lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s not authentic like me.
Yeah, the guy from the L.A. paper
Said he makes guilty whites feel good
They’ll vote for him, and not for me
‘Cause he’s not from the hood.
See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not come in late and won!
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s black, but not authentically.
Oh, Barack the Magic Negro, lives in D.C.
The L.A. Times, they called him that
‘Cause he’s black, but not authentically.
Some say Barack’s “articulate”
And bright and new and “clean.”
The media sure loves this guy,
A white interloper’s dream!
But, when you vote for president,
Watch out, and don’t be fooled!
Don’t vote the Magic Negro in –
‘Cause —
’Cause I won’t have nothing after all these years of sacrifice
And I won’t get justice. This is about justice. This isn’t about me, it’s about justice.
It’s about buffet. I don’t have no buffet and there won’t be any church contributions,
And there’ll be no cash in the collection plate.
There ain’t gonna be no cash money, no walkin’ around money, no phoning money.
Now, Barack going to come in here and ……..
.................................................. ....................................
‘Cause he’s not authentic like me.
Said he makes guilty whites feel good
See, real black men, like Snoop Dog,
Or me, or Farrakhan
Have talked the talk, and walked the walk.
Not come in late and won!
.................................................. ........................................
What bullshit!!! Not black enough?
Won overwhelmingly among blacks who took this for what it is.
Won overwhelmingly among whites who took this for what it is.
A feel good message for bigoted whites afraid of the "Magic Negro", simply because he is a Negro.

Hcap - the song is a parody of the column - not just the phrase, but the content.
Here is the column:
http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/la-oe-ehrenstein19mar19,0,5335087.story?coll=la-opinion-center
Some excerpts:
But it's clear that Obama also is running for an equally important unelected office, in the province of the popular imagination — the "Magic Negro."
He's there to assuage white "guilt" (i.e., the minimal discomfort they feel) over the role of slavery and racial segregation in American history, while replacing stereotypes of a dangerous, highly sexualized black man with a benign figure for whom interracial sexual congress holds no interest.
<more>
But the same can't be said of most white Americans, whose desire for a noble, healing Negro hasn't faded.
The only mud that momentarily stuck was criticism (white and black alike) concerning Obama's alleged "inauthenticty," as compared to such sterling examples of "genuine" blackness as Al Sharpton and Snoop Dogg. Speaking as an African American whose last name has led to his racial "credentials" being challenged — often several times a day — I know how pesky this sort of thing can be.
<more>
Like a comic-book superhero, Obama is there to help, out of the sheer goodness of a heart we need not know or understand. For as with all Magic Negroes, the less real he seems, the more desirable he becomes. If he were real, white America couldn't project all its fantasies of curative black benevolence on him.
I guess the column is a fine discussion of race, but the parody of the ridiculous column is racist.
Come on Mr. Link - do a bit of research and don't just accept what your liberal handlers tell you.
There is a body of evidence pretty much shows Limpbag is racist. Funny? Depends on your own level of racism.
The magic negro song although purporting to satirize one liberal columnist-whose views are not shared by many liberals-took it to a new level.
From the column......
"For as with all Magic Negroes, the less real he seems, the more desirable he becomes. If he were real, white America couldn't project all its fantasies of curative black benevolence on him."
I think this totally distorts why Obama won.
Limpbag exaggerated this. "Said he makes guilty whites feel good"
Didn't take guilt. Smarts instead. Some whites although still racist, voted for the best man anyway. Meanwhile Limpbag pandered to his snickering base and all had a comfortable wink and a nod.

Honestly Hcap, if you think the Magic Negro parody is racist you're simply lost. I can think of no other way to put it. You so desperately want to fit everyone in a convenient little box - you don't like Obama, must be because you're racist, you don't like radical Islam, must be because you hate Muslims.
Its really sad that is the level you've fallen to. Instead of having the courage to engage on the merits of your beliefs, you fall back to yelling "racist" to silence those who don't think like you. Much like Boxcar resorts to calling you an anti-Christian bigot when he cannot defend or discuss the history of his religion. You guys have a lot more in common than you think, you both react to challenges in the same manner.
Actually, Paul Shanklen wrote the lyrics, not Rush.
If you are using that parody to call someone a racist, you are pathetically ignorant of the real world.
Remember, it was Biden who called him clean, articulate....this a parody of the obvious bias of the left. And remember the talk about him being "black enough" and about the guilt vote? You have to be able to see the big picture. Life is more than sound bytes.
Honestly Hcap, if you think the Magic Negro parody is racist you're simply lost.
The Magic Negro "parody" is racist. Some whites think this is harmless fun.
Try that on your black friends. A liberal columnist giving the background and history of the "Magic Negro" in literature and cinema is quite different than limpbag using the phrase 30 x on his show and snickering each time.
Limpbag took "Magic Negro", used it over and over again in a mocking way, There's a difference between a historical look at it and using the term in to continually mock Obama and, implicitly, black people. Limpbag is using the term because he thinks it gives him license to say "negro" repeatedly on the air, and "negro" (like "homo" and "ho'" and so many other denigrating words) to Limpbag is funny because to the repug base, to limpbags' base, bigotry is fun.
http://www.racismreview.com/blog/2009/01/13/unveiling-systemic-racism-%E2%80%9Cbarack-the-magic-negro-revisited/
"Recently, Chip Saltsman, former chair of the Tennessee Republican party and candidate for chair of the Republican National Committee (RNC), sent a parody CD entitled “We Hate the USA” to party members as a holiday gag gift. The CD included a song “Barack the Magic Negro"
Saltsman defended his song by asserting:
I think most people recognize political satire when they see it. I think RNC members understand that.
Saltsman’s retort is a classic example of European American denial about their active role in propagating racism. Like Saltsman, most European Americans mistakenly believe that racial bigotry is a product of intentional (though perhaps sometimes unconscious) interactions between individuals. Contrary to this popular belief, a large and well-established body of social scientific research empirically reveals that racial bigotry is the result of deeply rooted social and institutional processes referred to as systemic racism"
.................................................. ..................
This song is racist. Pretending to be a dumb Al Sharpton while "singing" that there are "real" and "fake" black people, that the real ones are ghetto types and poor, and radicals and rappers. That the "fakes are the Obamas. That black leaders only care about screwing their black brothers. Lots of connotations are missed if your not black and waiting for your first black to be elected president.
http://academic.udayton.edu/race/2008ElectionandRacism/images/50_cartoon_large.gif
Many blacks see this as just another tamer Little Black Sambo.
From Wiki...
"Sambo imagery
See also: Blackface
In American animation in the 1930s and 1940s, the use of "Sambo" imagery was common in all the major animation houses. The scenes which show such imagery have either been cut from their respective cartoons, or the cartoons have been banned altogether. The image that is usually associated with the "Sambo" is that of a happy-go-lucky, clueless, head-scratching black man."

The original thread started seven months ago by Hcap is reopened by Hcap with an updated rant on Limbaugh supposed racism. Personally, I am curious why Hcap decided to to do this at this time.
Personally, I am not a Limbaugh fan but I do listen to him for an hour usually on Monday or Tuesday when I am not involved in capping or some other task. Limbaugh is bias, does discriminate and has no tolerance for liberals. If you are white, black orange or green and a liberal you qualify.
To label Limbaugh a racist ---is reaching and if he was, the MSM and the general public would insist he be replaced.
This thread was reopened to draw certain posters out in the open --so Hcap again could attempt to prove a point about genuiness of of their statements. It has no place here.
So the column is not racist, but the parody of the column is? :lol: :lol: And anyone who doesn't think the parody is racist, is racist for not thinking its racist.

The true racist in this country are the Liberal left who have advocated and funded failed entitlement programs for years designed to keep minorities down.
It's the liberal left who control the school systems and set in place the policies and practices that have failed and created yet another generation of minorities who do not possess the tools to compete in the open market. And the left wonders why there is a growing difference between the rich and the poor.
That along with the rise of the drug culture (again a creation of the left) spawned the creation of the drug gangs of today who have murdered more of their own than the KKK could have ever conceived. Not to mention the sexual revolution ( the left strikes again) which has manifested itself by the large percentage of unwed mothers among minorities and the 50% pregnancy rate of all Latinas under the age of 20. (according to CNN)
I get it. Rush Limbaugh is actually an outstanding hero of thel black community 'cause he criticizes the "Liberal Left". The real bigots!
Probably was a counter protester at all them civil right marches. You know where all those evil do gooders from the "Liberal Left" originally conspired to keep the blacks in their place. Wouldn't be surprised if fatso disguised himself as an Alabama cop- maybe Bull Connor***-and did his best to let's say-"curtail" them nasty Libs.
***As the Public Safety Commissioner of Birmingham, Alabama, in the 1960s, Connor became a symbol of bigotry. He infamously fought against integration by using fire hoses and police attack dogs against protest marchers.[1] His aggressive tactics backfired when the spectacle of the brutality being broadcast on national television served as one of the catalysts for major social and legal change in the South and helped in large measure to assure the passage by the United States Congress of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.Great disguise fatso!!!

Affirmative Action clearly worked IMO. Certainly the need for Affirmative Action has lessoned as more minorities move up the corporate ladder and have the ability to hire other minorities. But there is no doubt in my mind that minorities benefitted greatly from Affirmative Action in the last 40 or so years.

Affirmative action, though an interesting idea, was horribly abused.
Several unqualified Black students were in my class as well as my friend's class at Stanford in order for the schools to garner big capitation grants from the U.S. Dept. of Education. Only one, of about 8 students, graduated.
They were not prepared for the level of study and the intensity of both didactic and clinical classes. It was really frustrating for them and they were taken advantage of BIG TIME

Anyone feel sorry for the more qualified applicants who were passed over so that these unqualified folks could have a seat in the classroom?
The real harm from "feel good" policies is the watering down of the quality of the programs which are compromised by having to accept unqualified applicants.
Makes no difference whether we are talking about education, hiring for industry, or whatever. If the ones doing the accepting are not allowed to take the best applicants, their endeavor is compromised.
O, BTW, same goes for making loans etc. If you establish policy that forces institutions to extend loans to unqualified applicants, there will be hell to pay (or not pay).

whether or not Rush is a racist personally he certainly wants his core audience to think he is, so he panders to that taste. He says whatever is necessary to keep things stirred up then he goes home and takes a nap while his audience has their blood pressure up, headed for the local bar to talk shop with their buddies. "Did you hear Rush today" what he said about Jackson/Obama/ Sharpton/King/McNabb/Ali/Welfare/.
I have one question for you; can black people claim Obama as one of their heroes? Not according to Rush, see my point, what black person in their right mind would listen to such trash? If black people listen to Rush the only heroes they would have would be Clarence Thomas,Alan Keyes,and Ward Connerly. Don't you think it strange that the black people that some of you think should be black role models are generally disliked by black people.
In the not to distant future it maybe white students that need affirmative action in the Universities especially on the coasts and at the major universities . As Asians and seem to benefit most from what is now used by most colleges in admission.

Here is what he has to say about who is unqualified and yet are still admitted to college forcing more qualified students out. I'll spoil the surprise, its the Rich Kids who happen to be white white.
"Surf the websites of such institutions and you will find press releases boasting that they have increased their black and Hispanic enrollments, admitted bumper crops of National Merit scholars or became the destination of choice for hordes of high school valedictorians. Many are bragging about the large share of applicants they rejected, as a way of conveying to the world just how popular and selective they are.
What they almost never say is that many of the applicants who were rejected were far more qualified than those accepted. Moreover, contrary to popular belief, it was not the black and Hispanic beneficiaries of affirmative action, but the rich white kids with cash and connections who elbowed most of the worthier applicants aside."

How can one resign a position that they did not hold in the first place?
I think I will resign from some post I never held today as well.

you're quite the quick study there.
of course he never held that position, but that is what has been alledged by msm types only about 1000 times since his CPAC speech.
so he turned the tables on them, and annouced he's resigning.:D
also since Colin Powell is looking for a new kind of GOP, it's the perfect chance for him to step forward and be a leader and show us the way.

Having grown up in the RIGHT wing Capital of California, the Repug point of view has always been to make the fat cats fatter. How anyone cannot see this is beyond me.
When I first went to UCLA they all asked me if, at our high school football games, did we cheer "lean to the right lean to the right, Stand up, Sit down, fight ,fight, fight?" there being no left our course only being RIGHT of something else.

Of course, that is what happens when one group carries the state. The do-nothing libs with liberal arts degrees who sit around contemplating thier navals do not generate jobs, churn the economy, fuel investments and carry those who do not contribute. It is only fair that theses cats get fatter.
The opportunity to grow and prosper is what drives a free nation. And carries half the people.

The oxymoron of compassionate conservative as outline on Wiki:
Critics of George W. Bush have criticized the phrase "compassionate conservatism" as simply sugarcoating; an empty phrase or vacuism to make traditional conservatism sound more appealing to moderate voters. Liberal commentator Joe Conason, noting Bush's policy of tax cuts, wrote in 2003 that "so far, being a 'compassionate conservative' appears to mean nothing very different from being a hardhearted, stingy, old-fashioned conservative." Similarly, former President Bill Clinton described the message of compassionate conservatism as: "I want to help you. I really do. But you know, I just can't."
Others on the left have viewed it as an effort to remove America's social safety net out of the hands of the government and give it to Christian churches. "Liberals make a big mistake if they dismiss 'compassionate conservatism' as just a hypocritical catch phrase," wrote University of Colorado religion professor Ira Chernus. "For the right, it is a serious scheme to give tax dollars to churches through so-called 'faith-based initiatives.'" Columnist Paul Krugman calls it a bone to the religious right, referencing Marvin Olasky's 'The Tragedy of American Compassion'
That net doesn't belong in government.
The tragedy lies in the American leech.
"I don't want to help you, I really could, but you could get off your arse and take care of yourself."
