Well, 630 WMAL, one of the local talk radio shows here on the rim of insanity, brought back Chris Plant in the morning. It did not take him a long time for me to realize why I had stopped listening to him in the first place.
It was not because he was not entertaining. He is a very entertaining radio personality. He worked for a long time as a journalist (or something similar) and has great insights into the inner workings of the mainstream media, which is now controlled by the DNC. I remember him explaining how many partisan reporters would willfully withhold information in a story in order to to report not only on the story but allow it to bend toward their ideological leanings. Say what you want about talk radio, at least they are honest about their bias.
For a long time I found him to be a refreshing voice leading up to Rush Limbaugh, whose show was aired following his. But it was not until when John McCain had won the Republican candidacy for President last year that I finally stopped listening to him. Immediately and without hesitation he latched on to that RINO like he was the best choice around.
It disgusted me. He did not bother to say anything with regard to how he would rather not, but the other guy is much worse. That I can understand, even though I completely disagree with that notion. No, he jumped on that boat before the rest of the reluctant conservative voters could do so.
Sadly, his undying support of John McCain was not what reminded me today of why I stopped listening to him. Today while listening to his show he made a comment about how Bush saved the banking industry.
I immediately turned off my radio and went about the rest of my day. I cannot believe that he would throw that out there when he came back so soon. This is the mentality of the so-called conservatives inside this rim of insanity. They believe that the way to fix the free market is to destroy it. They supported the President’s plan from last year not realizing that such an act was not only pointless theft from the American people, but it also paved the way for what Obama is doing right now. Everything he has done while in office is nothing more than an extension of what Bush had done when he was in office.
You are not a conservative if you supported and continue to support the banking bailout. I do not care if you believe that the industry was about to fail. It was not about to fail and there was plenty of support to keep many of them alive and kicking long enough to make them solvent again. And even if that was not true, even if they really were about to die a violent and horrible death in the business world, why intervene on what natural forces deem necessary?
If you ever deal with a “conservative” who lives and/or works in the rim of insanity, then you should know that more than likely they are not true conservatives. The only real conservative credential they tend to throw out there is either lower taxes or pro-life stances. Even that is questionable at times.
I drew a line in the sand on the bank bailout. If you supported it, then you are not a conservative, you are a Statist and a fascist. There would have been no collapse. They did not use the money they got from the government to pay off the bad loans they had. If these banks were on the verge of collapse, then the bailout money would have been completely gone. Instead it was put on retainer.
What makes me sick, though, is that this is why John McCain lost. Instead of making a clear distinction between him and Barack Obama during the campaign, he bought into the fear and the hype that Hack Paulson was throwing out there. What Paulson really was doing was securing his favorite companies against their competitors, which is why some financial institutions were allowed to fail and others were given bailout money down their throats.
What makes me even more sick is all the rationally-minded conservatives who were disgusted with McCain’s sellout but in the end gave in to their fear and worry and voted for McCain. Talk about a failure of principles. I bet these folks would sell their soul if it meant keeping a Democrat out of office.
But what makes me sick more than anything are these conservatives-in-name-only who are nothing more than Republican mouthpieces and Statists to boot. They need to be called out and told by their elders that they are tarnishing out good ideology. Unless that was their intention to begin with…
