The current state of Republican Party supports Israel more than it supports America itself. To them to say anything against Zionism is a slur on America itself. If you want to do business with the state of Texas for example, you must pledge allegiance to...

Israel.

There is no debate in DC. You disagree and touch on what the Rs regard as the third rails of 2019 politics? Things like Israel. You are a vile, disgusting, anti-Semitic, anti-American who should go back where you came from.

Since they became beholden to white evangelicals. They don't give a damn about Israel or the people who live there. They only want to bring about the rapture.

With an added bonus of claiming this as some sort of shield and excuse for their racism. "See we can't be racist. No one loves Jews more than us."

It's actually crazier than it sounds. The original kingdom of Israel must be restored, the temple rebuilt and then Jesus briefly returns to rapture the Christians. The Antichrist shows up and takes over the world and plagues and cataclysm follows. The Antichrist goes crazy after being possessed by Satan and starts cutting people's heads off and marking their foreheads with 666. Israel refuses to bow to the Antichrist and he leads the armies of the world against Israel. Jesus shows up again at the last second and kicks the Antichrist's ass for being a poser. All the Jews convert to Christianity afterwards.

So why do evangelicals shit on Gaza and give Jordan a pass?  Gaza wasn't part of the original. Half of Jordan was. 

And why would the Antichrist give a shit about a patch of desert when he already has the whole rest of the world including the entirety of it's arable land? He wouldn't have to fight Israel. He could just blockade them and they'd starve. 

Also, how is the Antichrist going to get the US, Russia, and China to all fight on the same team?  That seems like the harder task for him.  We have a Russian puppet as President right now and we still wouldn't be on their side. Plus, the evangelicals realize that to get this done, we have to team up with Muslims and Latinos too if we are gonna get this party started, right?

You’re right of course. 

 But so is Rush. He’s preaching to a choir of white people who feel like their country has been stolen from them and well, they’re not altogether wrong about that.

The racism is inexcusable of course and is just ignorant. But that’s simply something the owners have instilled to justify to them and distract them to what has happened. The policies of this country for going on 40 years now have all been designed to take money away from the working/middle class, which used to be almost 100 percent white, and transfer this country’s, by historical standards, recent obscene wealth to the top .001 percent of the country, while the wealthy continue on and on with their own glorious party which continues on to this very day at the expense of everyone else.

Its worked better than I think anyone could have ever expected. The trumpkins have a right to be angry, they just don’t know where it should be directed, and are wrong about where that anger should be directed because they are constantly lied to by the owner controlled media outlets like Fox News and other assorted propoganda.

Guys like slorch complain about food stamps. Trumpkins like at his recent hate rally complain about Muslims. Its all bullshit. And its what they want them and you to do. They serve you the jack Daniels on the house, give you a measly 2 twin 20 dollars bills, have you live in the homey servant quarters, and unlock the doors for you or even enter into contracts when necessary. They are not ghosts at all, they exist.

Besides fear, the myth that everything is binary in DC is one of the great falsehoods that Rush has drilled into his listeners. "See, this is why you don't elect Ds to Congress. Radicals like the Four will pass all kinds of draconian legislation. If they get more of their kind in there, they will undo everything that we've built here. "

There is no middle ground. There is no working across the aisle to craft legislation that lines up with the average American. If you put all of Congress in one room and had them hash out legislation for something important (e.g. healthcare), there would be some far left and far right ideas. And some in the middle. Ultimately, a happy medium could be found. /pollyanna

There are major issues in our country that affect us all, and they require attention. They are solvable, but Congress is at a standstill. The Ds pass legislation that sits in Turtle's inbox like so much toilet paper. The Ds say they are getting things done, but there are very few visible results.

The message for Limbaugh has always been to make sure you're on the right team. The Rs. The top 1% may have a disproportionate amount of the wealth, but we're all in this together, bro. You're gonna bootstrap it, and pretty soon you'll be at the top of the pyramid too! In the meantime, hold tight to those conservative values of small govt, trickle down, and low taxes.

The top 1 percent thing is a distraction. While not a whole lot, the remaining 99 percent actually still somewhat, although rarely, interact with the top 1 percent. Think of the CEO or president of a relatively small regional community bank or an attorney/partner in a relatively successful local midsize city defense firm.

The rest of the 99 percent, however, NEVER interact with the top .001 percent. That’s who actually controls the Republican Party and is currently driving this country thelma and Louise style straight right into a debt ridden ditch. They didn’t want trump of course but they certainly caused his sorry ass and just like Putin, are happy to take advantage of it when they can. The republican tax scam being the latest example. 

Why are they doing it? Not because they hate America. They love it! And why not? Its the greatest country ever in history, at least for for some people.

Its because they hate the so called welfare state resulting from the Great Depression and started by FDR and lasting all the way through LBJ. Social security and Medicare. Nixon started the reversal, Reagan accelerated it and bush almost finished it, or came close to it anyway. 

The welfare state inherently eats into their bottom line and slightly reduces their wealth. Better to destroy it before it in their mind destroys them, or rather more accurately, cuts into their bottom line by .0001 percent.  Its that important, to them anyway. They don’t give a rat’s ass about you.

The I Got Mine scourge is one of the most destructive parts of America.

The Ds and Rs could come together and solve important problems facing our country -- healthcare, prescription drugs, immigration, cyber security, sensible spending, cutting back on spending, etc. These problems are not intractable. It's almost like they want to keep everyday Americans' problems right where they are -- no fixes.

For whatever reasons, they can't do it. They are beholden to things besides Americans. They make decisions to please lobbyists (representing the 0.01%), consolidate their power in DC, avoid consequences of kompromat (financial, extramarital, etc), and stay in Trump's good graces.

The system they’ve set up is built to keep people struggling and distracted so we can never organize to tackle the big challenges like climate change, healthcare, and wealth inequality.

How can regular Americans concern themselves with those huge issues when they’re just trying to make sure they can afford the mortgage, pay off the credit cards, student loans, health insurance premiums, and put their kids through a good private school because the public ones are so underfunded and the teachers are being paid near the poverty line.  

And if by chance these cost burdens aren’t burdensome enough, let’s scare the shit out of them by telling them a brown people invasion is coming to take away what little they do have.
