The Vilification of Rush
http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/the_vilification_of_rush.html
I believe with all my heart that minorities, especially African-Americans, will never be free until they stop allowing people like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to insist they adopt the mentality of victims. Likewise, they will not be free until they take the next bold step: start thanking God for America, and stop condemning the white male.

RUSH: Folks, a teachable moment from Venezuela. This is from the New York Times today: "As Blackouts Hit Energy-Rich Venezuela, the President Tells People to Cut Back." Now, the reason I focus on Venezuela is 'cause I think that Venezuela is where we could be if we are not vigilant. Venezuela is where we could very well be headed and so that's why I focus on Venezuela. Venezuela is an energy colossus, folks, and that's even the first sentence here in the New York  Times story. Venezuela has "the largest conventional oil reserves outside the Middle East and one of the world’s mightiest hydroelectric systems, but that has not prevented it from enduring serious electricity and water shortages that seem only to be getting worse. President Hugo Chávez has been facing a public outcry in recent weeks over power failures that, after six nationwide blackouts in the last two years --" nationwide, six of them, "-- are cutting electricity for hours each day in rural areas and in industrial cities like Valencia and Ciudad Guayana. Now, water rationing has been introduced here in the capital." He's telling people three minutes to take a shower.
This is a country with an energy colossus, the largest conventional oil reserve outside the Middle East. Now, get this next. "The deterioration of services is perplexing to many here, especially because the country had grown used to cheap, plentiful electricity and water in recent decades. But even as the oil boom was enriching his government and Mr. Chávez asserted greater control over utilities and other industries in this decade, public services seemed only to decay, adding to residents’ frustrations. With oil revenues declining and the economy slowing, the shortages may have no quick fixes in sight. ... The president is embarking on his own crusade: pushing Venezuelans to conserve by mocking their consumption habits." Yeah, what was that quote from Obama about turning up the heat? He said we just can't turn up the heat and drive our SUVs all we want and eat as much as we do and still be good citizens of the world. We can't do it anymore. This is why I pay attention to Venezuela, 'cause we're headed there. Obama is making fun of certain of his own citizens, Chavez is mocking his own.
In fact, Chavez "began his critique last month with the amount of time citizens spent under their shower heads, saying three-minute showers were sufficient. 'I’ve counted and I don’t end up stinking,' he said. 'I guarantee it.'" Reminds me of Jimmy Carter's sweater days. So first the utopia of Cuba with wonderful health care, runs out of toilet paper and now Hugo's paradise can't keep the lights on and the water flowing! And they are an energy colossus. And note how socialists do things. "As Blackouts Hit Energy-Rich Venezuela, the President Tells People to Cut Back." Let's note that Chavez is not saying, "Let's find out how to meet all the demand and let's produce more so that we can continue to grow." No. What he says is you idiots have to take shorter showers and turn the lights off and if you don't I'm going to do it for you. Life in socialists countries is miserable. He's taken over everything, it's falling apart, they got more oil and natural gas than anywhere outside of the Middle East. They got the biggest hydroelectric system in their hemisphere and they still are becoming a Third World nation because it is a dictatorship and we're headed that way.
And the last paragraph of this teachable moment story comes from some clown named -- well, not a clown, his name is Fernando Branger, an energy expert at the Institute of Superior Administration Studies, a Caracas business school. He says, "If this crisis teaches us something, it is that the immensity of our energy reserves means nothing if we cannot even get them out of the ground." And a dictator can't get things out of the ground, only a free market can get oil and natural gas out of the ground. The government doesn't know how to do it. Hugo Chavez is not going to go to the fields himself to do it. He's nationalized the oil companies, he's taken over the output but there's less and less output. And so the New York Times says the deterioration of services is perplexing. No, it's not perplexing at all! It's entirely understandable. He's destroyed the private sector, he has abandoned capitalism, he's gone socialist. That's why I pay attention to Venezuela. It's our future.
From Rush 24/7

Tommy, maybe a three minute shower in the dark would keep you from posting such boring stuff. Why don't you write a blog and you surely will have the right wing movement holding on to every word.
Oh, and by the way, I visited a gun shop for the first time in my life today. Met a lot of people like you. Nice guys but way out there on the political side.

Scared State-Run Media Elites Go Bonkers Over Sarah Palin's Book
BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Folks, this is the most incredible thing. The Drive-Bys, the State-Controlled Media -- predictably -- are going bonkers over Sarah Palin and her book, her appearance on Oprah. We'll be talking to her tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock, the top of the second hour on this program. We did an interview late last week with her for the next issue of the Limbaugh Letter. "The Associated Press got an advance copy of Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue, and assigned eleven reporters, apparently, to try to find errors in it." Did you hear about this?
"The eleven [reporters] collaborated on an article titled 'FACT CHECK: Palin's book goes rogue on some facts.' In fact, though, the AP's catalogue of alleged errors -- six in total [in a 400-page book] -- is thin at best." The Power Line Blog people found this. It took eleven people to find six mistakes. That's not even one mistake per reporter. "The AP starts with this one: 'PALIN: Says she made frugality a point when traveling on state business as Alaska governor, asking "only" for reasonably priced rooms and not "often" going for the "high-end, robe-and-slippers" hotels. THE FACTS: Although she usually opted for less-pricey hotels while governor, Palin and daughter Bristol stayed five days and four nights at the $707.29-per-night Essex House luxury hotel (robes and slippers come standard) for a five-hour women's leadership conference in New York in October 2007. With air fare, the cost to Alaska was well over $3,000.'"
 Now, "Palin says she didn't 'often' stay at high-end hotels, and the AP counters by saying" Yes, she did, one time that we could find. She didn't say "I never." She said, I didn't often; I did not often stay in these high priced hotels. So she says she didn't often stay at a high end hotel and the AP counters by saying, yeah, she did, yes, she did, one time! Yes she did, once. "Yes, that's why she said 'not often' rather than 'never.' What is indisputable is that Palin sold the Governor's private jet and flew commercial," I even talked to her about that last week in the interview, "thereby saving the taxpayers a large amount of money and qualifying her as a frugal traveler. The rest are about as lame. Here is another: 'PALIN: Rails against taxpayer-financed bailouts, which she attributes to Obama.
"'She recounts telling daughter Bristol that to succeed in business, "you'll have to be brave enough to fail." THE FACTS: Palin is blurring Obama's stimulus plan -- a $787 billion package of tax cuts, state aid, social programs and government contracts -- and the federal bailout that President George W. Bush signed. Palin's views on bailouts appeared to evolve as John McCain's vice presidential running mate. In September 2008, she said "taxpayers cannot be looked to" to bail out Wall Street. The next month, she praised McCain for being "instrumental in bringing folks together" to pass the $700 billion bailout. After that, she said "it is a time of crisis and government did have to step in."' The AP doesn't quote Palin, so it's hard to say whether she 'blurs' the bailouts or not. But by the AP's own account, Palin has consistently opposed bailouts, except that during the Presidential campaign, she loyally supported McCain's position on the initial TARP program."
That's what a Vice-Presidential candidate is supposed to do, and this is not a 'fact-check.'" This is what vice presidents do. That's why she was frustrated as all hell, if you'll remember, running around using that word "maverick" all the time because the campaign wanted her to refer to McCain that way. They thought that characterization was putting McCain over the top. He's a maverick. He's a Washington outsider. He can reach across the aisle to work with the Democrats. "This one," the people at Power Line write, "I simply don't believe: 'PALIN: Welcomes last year's Supreme Court decision deciding punitive damages for victims of the nation's largest oil spill tragedy, the Exxon Valdez disaster, stating it had taken 20 years to achieve victory.
"'As governor, she says, she'd had the state argue in favor of the victims, and she says the court's ruling went "in favor of the people." THE FACTS: That response is at odds with her reaction at the time to the ruling, which resolved the case by reducing punitive damages for victims to $500 million from $2.5 billion. Palin said then she was "extremely disappointed" and it was "tragic" so many fishermen and families put their lives on hold waiting for the decision.' Again," in this supposed fact-check, "the AP doesn't quote Palin but rather asks us to take their word for the fact that Palin 'welcomes' the Supreme Court's Exxon Valdez decision in her book as a 'ruling [that] went 'in favor of the people.'
"I would bet that the AP is mischaracterizing what Palin says in her book. She criticized the Supreme Court's decision at the time, as did most Alaskans, and cited it as a Supreme Court decision with which she disagreed in the Katie Couric interview." So this is it, folks. This is the kind of error: 11 AP reporters just like a wave of Democrat lawyers and reporters was sent up to Wasilla and Anchorage and Fairbanks when she was named the vice presidential running mate to McCain, to scour the countryside for any dirt they could find on her. Eleven crackerjack AP reporters assigned to fact-check her book! Do any other authors' books get fact-checked like this? Not that I can recall. But anyway this is the best they can do? This is the best they could find. We have a brief time-out coming up here, ladies... (interruption) Well, I know liberals took after my book, but I mean does anybody on the other side get fact-checked? Nobody does.
