Most of us who are fully evolved homo sapiens rarely, if ever, waste our time listening to radio comedian Rush Limbaugh. Too much exposure to that kind of stuff is just not good for your mental health.
However, I’m going to take a risk here and recommend that you read THIS TRANSCRIPT of an exchange between El Rushbo and one of his brilliant callers on the subject of patriotism. It’s tragic and funny and frightening, all at the same time. (But if you feel dizzy or nauseated at any point, stop reading and move on to something else here at Applesauce.)

More than a few Republicans are mouthing the mantra these days that America is a “center-right” nation and that no thoroughgoing liberal can be elected president.
Paul Waldman examines the theory HERE.

Conservatives have had a certain amount of success in demonizing the word “liberal” in recent decades — so much so, in fact, that some people seem to think that merely calling a person or an idea liberal constitutes an effectively negative argument.
Ah, but labels aside, the truth is that Americans today are less conservative and more liberal than they have been at any time in the last 20 years.

Much has been made in recent weeks of a National Journal study that rates Barack Obama as the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate.
And just what, pray tell, makes Obama so liberal? Well, let’s see. Oh, yeah, he voted to require the Department of Homeland Security to check all cargo containers entering the United States for nukes and stuff. That’s one of the votes that counted as “liberal” in the study.
Then there’s his vote to establish a Senate Office of Public Integrity to handle ethics complaints against senators. Wow! The man’s an out-and-out Bolshevik.
There’s more on this matter HERE.

In response to your many prayers, here’s a blog where dirty, commie, hippie, liberal scum and knuckle-dragging, mouth-breathing, neo-Nazi right-wingers alike can come for a fresh fix of political adrenaline.
Our focus here is on national politics, a subject of greater public interest in this presidential year than in any time in my memory — and I’m pretty old.
Your comments are cordially invited, but I ask that you refrain from using any language you wouldn’t use in front of your mother. Wait. You better make that langugage I wouldn’t use in front of my mother; for all I know, your mom might be a bit inelegant.
If you find this site provocative or entertaining, pass the word along to your friends. For each pair of eyes you send my way, I’ll give you a free ticket to Ron Paul’s Inaugural Ball next January — providing, of course, that he wins the presidency (which only the terminally naive think is even remotely possible).
