Rush Limbaugh is the Supreme Leader of the GOP

This is just a rough draft so I'm just going to rant and see what comes out.

I've often thought how similar the neocons and their right-wing radio hate-mongers are to their supposed enemies, the "Islamofascists." For instance, they both think they are keepers of the one true way. This must empower one with moral certitude, but taken to an extreme self-confidence can become hubris or megalomania. Perhaps this is why Rush Limbaugh found himself on his first televised speech at CPAC declaring to a group of mostly Christian conservatives about how God thinks he is RusH LiMbaUgh. With Republican power so low, where can they go for help? The fiscal conservatives need the Christian Coalition because they need a voting base who are used to believing in a narrow-minded pathological creed, but don't want their religious mania running the show. So they find themselves agreeing on one thing. Ronald Reagan what America's greatest president because he lowered taxes. Ultimately, Rush is a selfish greedy man, which is why he doesn't want HIS taxes raised. But how can there be a coalition of Christians and the radio talk show host who's final words at the end of his CPAC speech amounted to telling the "moral majority" to stay out of his bedroom. I don't want to speculate on what he is hiding in there, but I'm just as liberal as Rush Limbaugh when it comes to privacy. But then again what is he hiding personally? I doubt his fans have noticed the rumors going around about him in the tabloids, and he will most likely not come out of the closet until he is caught with a page or pizzaboy. Shame on me! Don't get me wrong here! I really don't care if he is gay or whatever. The fact that he advertises veal hotdogs is far more disturbing and incendiary, in my opinion, than the number of wives he has had, his drug addiction, his stuttering problem, etc. I have to admit I have allowed myself to be dragged into the unfolding drama of the impotence and power vacuum within the GOP. But ultimately it is a sad story of evil and stupidity these opportunistic warmongers have wrecked upon our planet. As far as foreign policy is concerned, the Democrats have done little differently than their so-called political "opponents." Now that Obama is in charge, who will we hate when the bombs fall on the peasants in far away lands?

To paraphrase Chomsky in my own words, I will quote myself, "it is the nature of centralized power to seek to maintain power by exploiting the masses." It seems to me the only sustainable resistance has been from coalitions of regular people under the banner of basic human values. Now that the Republicans are so weak politically I find myself laughing out loud as this anti-intellectual bunch continues to ignore its own failure. Perhaps they will diminish into historical obscurity, like the Whig party.
