Rush, as we all know IS show prep for the rest of the news industry, or should be. However, this begs the question. Who is show prep for Rush? Nobody you say? Not so fast…

This is something I have been pondering pretty much since founding the AlabamaTeaParty.org blog, but more so lately. What I’m about to say ought to stir up a little controversy…

Study the chalk board…

The other day, Rush said something interesting. He said that he is THE Conservative. Therefore, the rest of the talking heads could only be niches built off the word conservative. Get it?

Niche was a man who I think lived back in the 1800′s somewhere in Germany or somewhere else and wrote some really strange books. Stuff like that.

Today the word “niche” means “subset.” Subset means, “kinda like, but not exactly the same…Complimentary.”

As an example, in my world, if the word jelly is already taken as a website name, then I might look for a jelly niche word like… grape jelly. That’s a subset of jelly, but it still packs plenty of jelly goodness.

Not to belabor the point, in the talking head circles, if Rush is Conservative, then the others out there can only be niches of Conservative. That’s what’s left. Point well taken.

That being the case, if you want to be a conservative talk show host, you have to pick a subset or niche talk show host description and gig. The chalkboard illustrates what I believe to be the current subsets of the superstars.

After Rush, there is the second tier.

Taking nothing away from less well known conservative talk show guys, the bottom row on the chalk board  illustrates my take on the Fox evening lineup, excluding Greta. I would have included her, but I ran out of room.

Anyway, can you guess who I’m talking about on the old chalkboard up there? Hmmn?

Not to get the wrong idea. I like them all. But some are…exasperating at times. That’s my opinion.

On a completely different topic, I’m completely taken with Glenn Beck. It is not arguable that watching him is like taking a college course. Some of us (AlabamaTeaParty.org) even have homework. The AlabamaTeaParty.org website is my homework.

Rush says, and well he should, that he is show prep for the rest of the media…but show prep for Rush should be Glenn Beck.

Rush seemed to have been quite pleased with Beck early on, but that seems to have worn off. Witness that occasionally Rush will toss out something as news that we learned on Beck days earlier.

I lamented recently that I longed for the days when we didn’t have to know so much about the inner workings of the socialist radical mind. At the same time I marveled at how far we have come in only two short years, thanks to Beck. Were it not for him, most of us would be oblivious to the hows and whys of the radical things going on around us.

Beck has lain down a master level study of the mind of the liberal/radical/progressive for us all to see and learn from. Countless times he has dropped a dime on the friends of darkness.

Beck has almost single-handedly carried all of us back to school. In comparison, Rush speaks in Cliff notes. Which is NOT to take away from Rush.

But Rush’s brilliant mind is not on biz sometimes… On Thursday July 15th, Rush spent most of the show belly aching about his Ipod or Padeye cellphone.  It was vital and important information for us all. Of course, at the end of the show Rush allowed that he would not be there Friday, for he instead would be on his G5 jet drinking wine and champagne at 51,000 feet. Rush is a party kind of guy any more.

If Rush is the high octane fuel in our engines, then Beck is nitrous oxide that makes us race cars.  Dumb analogy unless you’re a NASCAR fan. Then it all becomes very clear indeed!

Alabama votes for a new governor Tuesday July 13th, 2010. Whoever wins the Republican runoff will be the new governor.

Even though many of the major socialist  Alabama newspapers have endorsed Bradley Byrne, which is very troubling indeed, the AEA has unendorsed him, and this is good enough for me.

His opponent, Robert Bentley seems to be the darling of the AEA, and this is good enough for me.

In his defense, Bentley says he is his own man and will vote with the AEA when they are right, and against them when they are wrong. This is good enough for me.

My preference would be that Bentley vote against the AEA, regardless of their position. Byrne seems to be more inclined to follow my wishes.

At the risk of not being asked to serve in some highly overpaid, phony bologna position in the hallowed halls of Montgomery by eyether of these candidates, frankly, nyether gives me a tingle up the old leg. My goose is thus cooked however it happens to turn out.

In true TeaParty fashion, I’ll roll the dice and hope it doesn’t come up snake-eyes. I’ll pull the lever or slide the card, whichever, for Byrne.

Addition to post from the next day…

Byrne Does Not Win….

This gives me heart. It tells me that I was right all along.

Bill Clinton Hateful On Haiti

I venture to say that we have all been far more educated about the value of the federal gubment than we ever dreamed or wanted in the last two years. Many of our most cherished beliefs have gone down in flames as we see our government flailing about like headless chickens, flapping around in the face of the most rudimentary dealings.

Bill Clinton, the founder of this current mess we find ourselves in today, and procurator of Haiti, is royally ticked about the progress in Haiti, which President Obama charged him with.

Clinton stated that relief funds to Haiti have been slow in coming. The United States which promised nearly $1.5 billion has to date paid only $30 million into the relief fund, and Clinton is p’o'ed.

I find myself torn. On the one hand, like you, I feel bad for the devastated nation. On the other, I know…now…that there is no hope that most of our tax money will do the rank and file there any good at all.

If the $Trillion dollar improvement fund stolen from the taxpayers by Congress did as little good as we all knew it would, right here at home, then what hope is there that the billion dollars promised to Haiti will reach the intended? It’s ludicrous to expect anything other than massive corruption.

For all of my life, and generations before, our country has given away more money than is humanly imaginable. And I, like you, was content in the understanding that at least if we didn’t like a lot of it, then, at least, it was doing some good.

Now, I know better. I know that most of that money was thrown down a rat hole and I can only hope to God that the rats who received most of it were vacationing in the idyllic Haiti island nation when the big one hit.

American foreign aid is the biggest con ever conceived on the face of the earth by confidence men who selflessly work the system for their own enrichment.

I come to this conclusion very reluctantly. But to believe otherwise is to believe that Santa Claus visits the desert to bring Gatorade to thirsty pilgrims on Christmas day. Oh, for the innocence we all had only two short years ago.

In the true spirit of cooperation between the AlabamaTeaParty.org website and responsible civilian employees of the Obama Administration, we offer this short public service announcement.

Toilet water is a precious thing to waste. This video, produced in Brazil, and possibly paid for by Obama stimulus monies tries very hard to impress it upon you, the new peon, that it is more important than ever before to pee pee (below the equator in Brazil, xixi sounds like she-she. It does. Trust me por favor.) in the shower instead of the commode.

Brazil is decades ahead of the United States when it comes to socialism, but the American people are catching up quickly. This video is not new. It has been out for a year or so. Rerunning used Brazilian PSA’s saves energy because no new electrons must be created in the process.

I don’t usually include articles from other places here on your MOST CONSERVATIVE WEBSITE in the entire nation. I don’t have to. But, this time, I thought it a good lead-in to the point I wish to make….

Department of ‘Social Justice’?

Wednesday, July 07, 2010
By Glenn Beck

Remember the footage from the 2008 presidential election? It’s of New Black Panther Party members who were standing in front of a polling location in Philadelphia in full uniform wielding a police-style baton weapon. They were clearly trying to intimidate potential voters.

Now how many times have you seen guys in uniform with baton weapons in front of your polling place? I know, it happens all the time, right? Well, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia against Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson. They were part of a national effort by the New Black Panthers to station members at polls and intimidate.

After the case was effectively won by the Department of Justice and a default sentencing was imminent in May of 2009, the DOJ made the unheard of move to suddenly file a notice of voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit for two of the defendants.

There had to be some reason for the sudden turnaround, right? Some logical explanation.

Maybe the defendants were unaware that they were standing in front of a polling location and it was all a big mix up. Maybe they were very, very sorry for violating Americans’ rights and engaging in an activity that African-Americans, of all people, should be offended by.

Most likely, you saw this on Beck. If, somehow you managed to miss his interpretation of the poll incident which took place in Philadelphia thusly:

Black Panther Intimidation At Polls?
Posted by Steve Schippert

Published: November 4, 2008 – 1:32 PM

Are Black Panther guards intimidating voters at city polls? The National Black Panther Party says as much.

“We will be at the polls in the cities and counties in many states to ensure that the enemy does not sabotage the black vote, which was won through the blood of the martyrs of our people.”

A confrontation in Philadelphia was reported, one between a veteran and two Black Panther guards…”

—————–

Ok… Now that we’re up to speed…

I must confess that when this happened in 2008, I was SO impressed that I placed the photo below on my personal website homepage where I keep all of my important links. It’s one of only two pics on there… See the screen grab…

Back in those long gone days, I was flabbergasted that this story just came and went. The thug in the Che hat was toting a “nightstick.” How, in the name of all that is holy did it ever become a BATON?? ALL the news guys are referring to the crackerknocker in this guy’s paw as a BATON. Look here, friends. The beret guy is carrying a length of stick suitable for bouncing off white heads, and beating in the faces of they white babies. He’s a kook, nut, and a dangerous racist, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the last anti Jew rally at the U.N., and he is holding his night baton in a most menacing manner at a polling place. I think I would have been a little nervous having to walk around him to go vote. What about you?

So, I ax you again….How did the nightstick you see here become a BATON like high school girls carry in the homecoming parade and toss very highly indeed at the football game half time? I’ll bet the first time ol Racist Shabazz lands a thump on your head because you are voting the wrong way, you’ll stop calling it a sissy baton.

And while we’re at it. A simple question. If you do happen to have an opinion on the Shabazz/Poll/DOJ debacle, would you possibly feel differently now IF the Department of Justice had cracked down on Shabazz instead of giving him a pass?
