Limbaugh Lunacy

I've been nice and have not been gloating over the return of the liberals to political power. But, excuse me; isn't it a bit early to start Obama bashing? I mean, a couple of executive orders do not make a legacy. And how can anyone start bashing when the conservative philosophy has been soundly rejected by a clear majority of the American people, at least for the present? I find it interesting that the conservatives are already spreading viscious vitriol about Nancy Pelosi and less so about Harry Reid, though I do not maintain a high opinion of the Senate majority leader. Nancy may be about as liberal as they come, but the right forgets that she was bred in the world of politics and is probably much smarter than some of her male colleagues. BTW- when Obama stopped in Baltimore during his train ride, Nancy came home. I think she should come home more often and highlight her roots here in Bal'more. Limbaugh is a lunatic anyway. His rantings make no sense. He feeds the conservative yearning for slogans and quick quotes of little substance. He demonstrates what I believe is the chief flaw with conservatism: the inability and unwillingness to look beyond that which is already known to analyze or synthesize anything that might provide a new and better way of thinking. That flaw got us into Iraq under false pretenses and that mess has been left for the liberals, because the conservatives couldn't think beyond, "bomb 'em!" Not only will the liberals get us out of Iraq, if they do their best work, they'll succeed where the conservatives could not find a way to go. And perhaps in the process, they might find better ways to re-build the economy. And I'd like to know exactly how many republicans are really angry that W came into office with a budget surplus and left with the economy in depression. Someone PLEASE explain to me how republicans are good for the economy!!!
