On the ROAD
One day, in the mid-90's, I was "flyin'-low" in my BMW 635 Csi; driving from Seattle to Albuquerque. To keep awake, I listened to radio, and my CDs. Tired of changing CDs one at a time, (this was before Sirius, Radio), I avoided that "waillin' -Western" music by listening to Talk Jocks, who covered the airwaves in those days. Guess who popped-up! The Malignant Rush! Dialing furiously to find anyone else, I thought, "He Ain't Paul Harvey"!! Paul Harvey saved my life, many-a-day; when I had to drive from Lawrence, KS to far-away places like Russell,KS; Lodgepole, NE, and Chadron, NE. Sometimes referred to as "windshield-time"; traveling salesmen, and college recruiters (my job, then) know it well!.
Paul Harvey could keep me from falling asleep! He never made me want to "throw up" the way Limbaugh does. Born in 1918, Harvey was in his late-50's when I listened to him on the road.
That was before Rush cursed us with his foul air. Both Harvey and Limbaugh were happy with the "Conservative" label. Both were white. In spite of those draw-backs, Harvey was a human being! He was against those who cheated on welfare, not those who qualified for welfare. The common sense he exhibited and championed, was exactly the quality that Rush lacks!
The key difference, I see, looking back four decades, lies in the fact that the Social Compact, widely accepted in the United States at the time, embodied a sense of fairness for everyone; it was win/win; and even most Conservative Whites believed in that! Not so, today!
The "Winner-take-All", "Devil-take the Hindmost" , and "win/lose" philosophythat descended on this country after 9/11, served to enrich the top 1%, while leaving everyone else "eatin' dirt"! As we unravel the Mortgage-Financing Crimes, it becomes clear how BIG MONEY raped un-suspecting, poor, and non-white citizens. That bunch now controls our Congress, again.
Stay Vigilant! The ones who preach about "takin' the Country Back" are the precise ones we need to make GIVE us, our Country BACK!!
