Bipartisanship, according to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, is anything of, relating to, or involving members of two parties ; specifically : marked by or involving cooperation, agreement, and compromise between two major political parties. This past week Rush Limbaugh, at the CPAC, was not a proponent for bipartisanship. He stated that he “wants everyone in the US to succeed, that he wants the US to succeed.” But my question is how can we succeed as a country when he makes quips about the Democratic Party such as:
Excuse me, ladies and gentlemen of America, if you were paying attention, I know yowere, the racism in our culture was exclusively and fully on display in the Democrat primary last year.
Rush Limbaugh for the most part is described as a conservative republican. He addressed that most people in this country think of conservative republicans as: sexist, bigots, and homophobes. But what I get from him are disturbing propaganda about the president and the direction that he plans to approach the final crisis that this country is in. Instead of seeking new solutions and presenting his new ideas; he wants to point out that our president is not authentic enough. He made note that Obama didn’t have any slave blood in his roots and that he wasn’t “down for the struggle.” Why in this particular time should he be concerned with Barack Obama’s blood roots or his ideology concerning the African American struggle? Lately, conservatives like Limbaugh want to represent the president as a socialist. That he would tear this country apart. I see this as a negative perspective. We should rally and support a new, fledgling president. That means both democrats and republicans should reach out across the aisles to work for a common good of the American people.to reach

ReplyDeleteFrankly, i am sick of this race issue...why can't we see past this skin color thing? At the beginning of the semester, Stephanie asked as about a superpower....i did not have a clue then....but now, if i had a choice, i would make everyones minds programmed to think "human race" and not "racism".....I believe one day it will happen....maybe not in my lifetime...although Obama's election is a start....but...."1 have a dream!:"
