Stolen From A Facebook Post

 

A Harley Biker is riding by the zoo in Washington, DC when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion's cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the collar of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents. The biker jumps off his Harley, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings the girl to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly. A reporter has watched the whole event.
 
The reporter addressing the Harley rider says, “Sir, this was the most gallant and bravest thing I've seen a man do in my whole life.”
 
The Harley rider replies, “Why, it was nothing, really. The lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.”
 
The reporter says, “Well, I'll make sure this won't go unnoticed. I'm a journalist, you know, and tomorrow's paper will have this story on the front page. So, what do you do for a living, and what political affiliation do you have?”
 
The biker replies "I'm a U.S. Marine, a Republican and I’m voting for Trump."
 
The journalist leaves.
 
The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on the front page:
“U.S. MARINE ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT & STEALS HIS LUNCH”
And THAT pretty much sums up the media's approach to the news these days!

And it pretty much does, too.

R.I.P. Rush Limbaugh. Conservative Giant. Great American.

Had to post on the passing of a great American, Rush Limbaugh, who's presence on WLS AM in Chicago over the last twenty five years or so has provided insight and education on conservatism and the inanity of liberalism and the fraudulent nature of the Democrat Party.  Rush has had the left's number for years and his ability to so accurately predict how they'd respond to whatever was happening was truly remarkable.  He lived rent free in Barack Obama's corrupt mind for the entirety of his two failed terms of office.  Yet he gave callers of a leftist bent more time on the phone than he did for the like-minded, and turned a good share of them to light.

Years ago, while working as an office equipment technician, driving hither and yon from customer to customer, I used to listen to a radio talk show on the local Christian station.  The host's name, as I recall, was Dick Staub.  At one point, I heard a few callers telling Staub that he sounded like Rush Limbaugh.  I had no idea who Rush was at that time, and Staub's response was neither "thank you" nor "how dare you".  But I was interested in knowing who this guy was with the strange first name about whom they referred.  As it happened, I came upon a billboard with Rush's face and from it found what station carried his show.  I tuned in.  Within the first fifteen minutes or so, he said that one couldn't tune in once or twice and understand what he was all about.  Rush encouraged new listeners to give him six weeks.  That sounded like a fair offer, so I began to tune in every day and listen to the extent my travels on the job allowed.  I found there wasn't anything with which I disagreed (with the exception of a shot he leveled at Chelsea Clinton while she was still a kid.  I didn't like it and he did apologize for it).  Listening to him confirmed for me what I had begun to suspect of myself since my senior year of high school.  I was indeed a conservative. 

For quite some time he was regular listening for me.  His success led to other conservatives being broadcast on that station and one other in my area.  A liberal attempt to compete with him, Air America, failed miserably, failing to draw any leftist attention...because lefties don't give a flying rat's ass about even the crap their own spews.  Yet again, they always had Rush who gave them a fair hearing and treated them well. 

Rush liked to put on that he was all knowing.  My mother couldn't handle his shtick in that regard.  But it was an act, of course, and on those few occasions when he realized he was wrong about something he said, he would begin the next day's broadcast with a correction.  Lefty media never do that.

No doubt this is a great day for the left, who never fails to rejoice at the passing of a conservative.  Just look at how the truly moronic revel in Trump being jobbed out of a second term!  Rush, an icon, will be bring out the ghouls for sure.  But it only shows just how good he was and how effective he was in exposing what they really are. 
But it's a sad day for America who has lost a true treasure.  Rest In Peace, Rush Limbaugh.  I pray he's with God.
