Rejecting Herd Mentality
Posted by Joy Bischoff under: Rejecting Herd Mentality .
Oh My Word! I blogged about supporting Rush Limbaugh this morning and then got to work on my book. Hours later I popped in on Drudge to see if there was any interesting breaking news and instead was shocked to see the attack on Rush. This is what I was suggesting on both of my blogs this morning; political pressure, blasted through the media will attempt to muzzle free speech. Even though I was expecting this, it is astonishing to see such fascist tactics used in America.
Please, help the dialogue around you stay sane and reject a herd mentality. Some of you may already be having a purely emotional reaction of negativity toward Rush for rocking the boat. It is hard to go against peer pressure that is so elegantly designed to create an atmosphere of conformity. Any who do not conform to the new status quo will be surrounded by snarling, angry people insisting they get in line. It will now be seen as anti-American to want the new policies to fail. Why? Fear! We are living in a climate of fear and people are easy to manipulate when they are fearful. Emotions and not logic rule. We must stay logical and continue to stand for the principles of freedom. Nationalization of businesses is one of the major pillars of Marxism. We must not sell our birthright for a mess of porridge because we fear hunger. Our descendents will pay too heavy a price and eventually, so will we.
Dems Launch Petition Against Rush Limbaugh.
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
By Melanie Hunter-Omar(CNSNews.com) – The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has launched an online petition for readers to express their outrage at conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh for saying last week that he wanted President Barack Obama to fail. …
Meanwhile, Obama advised Republicans last Friday to stop listening to Limbaugh if they wanted to get along with Democrats and the administration.
“You can’t just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done,” Obama said to Republican leaders who met with the president to talk about the stimulus package.
House GOP member to Rush: Back off
By Jonathan Martin
Rush Limbaugh may command a large following, but his caustic comments Monday about the GOP’s congressional leadership have at least one Republican House member defending his colleagues and offering an unusually candid critique of the talk radio powerhouse and his fellow commentators.
Responding to President Obama’s recommendation to Republican congressional leaders last week that they not follow Limbaugh’s lead, the conservative talkmeister said on his show that Obama is “obviously more frightened of me than he is Mitch McConnell. He’s more frightened of me, than he is of, say, John Boehner, which doesn’t say much about our party.”
Rep. Phil Gingrey, R-Ga., did not take kindly to this assessment in an interview with Politico Tuesday.
“I think that our leadership, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, are taking the right approach,” Gingrey said. “I mean, it’s easy if you’re Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh or even sometimes Newt Gingrich to stand back and throw bricks. You don’t have to try to do what’s best for your people and your party. You know you’re just on these talk shows and you’re living well and plus you stir up a bit of controversy and gin the base and that sort of that thing. But when it comes to true leadership, not that these people couldn’t be or wouldn’t be good leaders, they’re not in that position of John Boehner or Mitch McConnell.”
