    Wait I though us libs were supposed to godless! Who's been praying? I want names!

    But, seriously Dutch, an old saying comes to mind: "What goes around, comes around" The point being, when you spend your whole career attacking people, you shouldn't expect a love fest when you die.

    In my observation, some people lean toward being kind and loving and others lean toward being mean and vicious. It's not really a partisan thing from my lived experience.

    LOL, are you kidding me? They couldn't bury her fast enough so they could install a SCOTUS justice more to their liking.

    Still others lean toward humor to get through tough times. It's a coping mechanism. Keeps me on an even keel.

    many years ago, Al Franken wrote a book ... Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Idiot ... I was never a Rush fan and bought the book on a whim because I thought Franken was a pretty good writer from his SNL days ... unreadable nonsense and sits ashamedly in the bad book section of my library ...

    funny that years later, Franken became a disgraced dirtbag politician ...

    -Mark Twain

    It is not pleasure we libs have at Rush's death, but relief.

    How much longer before the "Hillary had him killed" conspiracy gets posted?

    We can do the same for Democrats but I won't because its bad taste. We are held to higher standards anyways by the left...

    Was it perhaps 'cos Trump had very limited time to appoint Conservative SCOTUS, not wanting to take a chance to have another Liberal like Ruth?? WTF you call it
    'bury fast enough"? The burial and all the honors and lying in state they all took due course and time and were not hurried.

    WTF?

    Not informed - enlightened is the word - enlightened, progressive liberal Democrats. And enlightened you were made not only by your parents but also by the Liberal educators.

    Informed you're not.

    Reading this topic, I cannot help but laugh at the left's idea that the right has the market cornered on hate.

    oooh .. that's a good one RP ...

    btw ... Cuckoos Nest is the best film EVER made and the whole cast should have won Oscars ... every actor nailed their character as in the script even though different than in the book which is my Top 10 ... yup, one of those times when the film was better than the book ...

    @Statistikhengst does a cat have your tongue? How many times should I plan to post this before you answer what seem to me to be very reasonable questions? Is twice good enough, or should I plan to do it daily for the next 30 days before you grace us with your presence?

    Won't miss it? When was the last time you even listened to it? Personally, I haven't listened to him in years, so it's hard for me to say I'll miss his "airwave pollution" because I haven't heard it in so long. I will miss the man behind the mic, because he had so many good ideas in "The Way Things Ought To Be". I can't say I agreed with him on everything, but then again, I can't say that about my very own wife, and we actually like each other!

    So I'm not sure where you are coming from making such a statement.

    Probably only if you "used to" reply to them every time they quoted you, then you suddenly stopped and never reply again....because you can no longer see their posts. ;)

    I thought you were not educated in this country? ... what do you know of liberal educators? ...

    Less than the most, and I'm very happy about it. My kids were skruled in Wassenaar, Leiden, Vienna, Moscow, and Jakarta. Not that I'm bragging, just very happy about it.

    Let’s get this straight,

    informed - having much knowledge or education;

    If you don’t have the correct information, you can’t be enlightened. So let’s get real. Uninformed people have very little access to either common sense of enlightenment.

    It’s a ridiculous assumption to assume people know wtf they are doing who are fed sht by shills like Limbaugh.

    Biden is a breath of fresh air. He comes to podium armed with information given to him by the smartest, best educated people in the world. Trump came to podium armed with garbage after talking with the likes of Limbaugh and Hannity.

    Hilarious to think Trump would know what to do when he didn’t even depend upon the agencies in his cabinet. It’s laughable.

    Your post is funny too. I’ve heard nothing to indicate you’re any more informed then Rush Limbaugh.

    Not much else in your post, but at least the above is true. Rush had a research staff and himself spent many a daily hour informing himself, while I had to do other things to earn a living. But of course he was more informed! :wall:
