Rush Limbaugh: Sanford was probably driven in desperation to cheat on his wife and get some small pleasure out of life by Barack Obama’s efforts to destroy America, as in what-the-heck-it’s-all-over-I’m-just-going-to-have-fun.

Full quotes at the link. At the other end of the world, Congressman Michelle Bachmann is suggesting that the Obama Administration is going to use Census information to round people up that it doesn’t like, and cites the Japanese-Americans rounded up during WW2 and taken to internment camps.

So I guess it’s probably really my fault for voting for Obama and plunging us all into a deep, dark gay socialist hell on earth. Sorry, Governor Sanford, I just had no idea as to what I was doing. I was only follwing the instructions of Comrade Jiang Yu Cai as she was directed by the ChiCom Politburo, too, so they’re involved in the heinous plot.

Where'd you get the idea the Obama administration was in any way pro-gay? From those pre-election talking points? Puh-lease! *wink*

While I find your dig at Limbaugh amusing, his show is first and foremost over the top right wing entertainment. Better to mock those who take him seriously than the man himself, who's just doing a more earnest version of Colbert. Uh, unless it's about prescription drugs - then you can mock the man himself. I certainly do.

Uh, I think the difference is that (1) neither Colbert or Jon Stewart is seen as a serious leader of any political faction, where Rush is, and (2) an awful lot of people catch the joke with Colbert / Stewart, but Rush - they take him dead seriously.

Rush is a political leader only in the eyes of his press agent. As to those who take his continually inconsistent, spur-of-the-moment jabber seriously, well they are well worth mocking, as I said.

I notice you dodged the first question.

I didn't bother with it; no dodge. But to return to it, I think a lot of people on the left end of things and the gay rights movement are NOT happy with Obama and consider him a big-time trimmer who promised a lot of change and isn't delivering on much. (Me included.) The best that can be said is that he never said he was going to be a radical on anything much, especially in regard to major reworkings of government policy on gays.

Truth be told, more is going on on the state levels, which is fine in it's own way, and I think that this is one of those areas that Obama figures that he's not going to put a lot of his chips into because others are doing the heavy lifting elsewhere...and that gay stuff is instant fodder for the nutcasier Republicans to get people frothing over.

Hmm. Perhaps. I think he said a lot more about doing things from day one and that a lot of people are a lot more disappointed in him than you make it out to be. The nastier Republicans have become a parody of themselves, including of course those who are the poster children for what they are supposedly against.

Re the Census: Having just finished some work for the 2010 Census I can report that there are some folks out there who told me that the whole thing was just another plot by Obama to waste money and gather info on decent, hard-working citizens. Never mind that the whole 2010 census was planned well before Obama was even running.

As to using the Census information round up people, the Census only releases aggregrate information. On the personal level it is held confidential for most of a century and then put into the national archives. Census officials have gone to court and faced jail rather than reveal things, even to the FBI. They take the trust very seriously.
