I'm not gonna bother with it. Why eBay cares about me donating money earned through a sale to a charity I don't know. Their suggested charities were all ones they're financially linked to. Nothing more charitable then taking a processing fee off the top! Said I may have to fill out tax forms, which I won't because I've never ever ever had to deal with tax forms when donating to charity. Or maybe that's what those forms the Salvation Army guy was holding while outside Walgreens....

Rush was laying it all out there today.

Responding to a "study" conducted about being happy vs. being right and what makes for a successful marriage:

quote:

RUSH: Okay. Let me run something by you here, Jane. You know me. I love stereotypical things, humor, like mother-in-law jokes and that kind of stuff. They're old-fashioned. They're not considered funny anymore. They're considered offensive, such as, "Do you know what real conflict? It's seeing your brand-new Cadillac go over the cliff, but your mother-in-law's in it." That's an offensive joke today. Back in the old days, that was perfectly fine to laugh at. There was a phrase back in the old days, before the feminist movement. It went like... How old are you? No, I shouldn't ask that. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask that.

CALLER: That's okay.

RUSH: You might not have heard this. I hope you have. "The man who thinks..." By the way, you tell this to somebody today and you say you admire this, and you will be hated. "The man who thinks he married someone..." I'm trying to get the exact wordage of this. "The man who thinks he is smarter than his wife knows not how smart she really is." Now, you know what that means, right?

CALLER: I do.

RUSH: It's just what you said, that the man is happier when the wife subordinates. "Yes, honey." She respects him. He's the man. He's the big, tough protector. He's the provider. He's the great. He's always right. When the woman is deferential, you said -- if she had been deferential -- he may have had felt better about himself. Their marriage would have been fine and dandy, and she would have been okay with it.

CALLER: Because he would have been, in turn, then more loving which is what she's really hungry for.

RUSH: Oh, does that always work?

CALLER: Not always, but mostly. Mostly.

RUSH: So are you saying, Jane, men being nicer to --

CALLER: To dominating, mean women, that does not work.

RUSH: Of course it doesn't.

CALLER: I know. It's not news, though, but seems to be.

RUSH: No, no. It's a tenet of the feminist the movement today.

CALLER: I know. But I have people in my office that are miserable because of that tenet.

RUSH: That's what they were trying to get at here. They just went at it the other way around.

CALLER: Yeah. But they missed the other half of the study, which really would have been much more revealing, and I think it does apply to the parties, because I know a ton of Republican women now, and none of them have respect for the Republican Party 'cause it stands for nothing. The Democratic guys and leaders are mean, right? They're going for it. They have cajones. The Republican leaders are getting wimpy.

They go on to discuss the obvious relevance of this "study" to American party politics.

You can learn more about this "study" here:

http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-better-to-be-right-than-happy-20131217,0,5791072.story#axzz2nrxm9N5H

Oh, what's this?

quote:

[Updated 10:30 a.m. PST, Dec. 18: The study was released as part of the journal’s annual Christmas issue, which features offbeat and humorous research on topics like James Bond’s drinking habits and whether redheads are more appealing to vampires. For those who were wondering, Science Now was well aware that this was not a typical medical research study.]

I'm glad Rush is sticking to the "facts."

Later:

quote:

You know, I didn't talk about it enough, but I got this piece here. Camille Paglia had this piece in TIME magazine this week. "It's a Man's World, and It Always Will Be." It's always going to be a man's world. The piece is extraordinary because Camille Paglia is a well-known feminist. She's a lesbian. She's a sexologist, a sex expert. She's an art critic. She really a brilliant woman in her own right, and she goes back and she chronicles this, aspects of American history, things that women could not have done, that women could not have built.

There's no criticism involved here. It's just an acknowledgement of fact, an acknowledgement of the differences, an acknowledgement of who did what and who wielded power, who had power, and how it was used. Men liberated women with appliances, like Walter Williams. For his wife's birthday, he got her a vacuum cleaner or some such thing. Or a washing machine, to make her life easier. You say that to a feminist, she'll blow her gasket.

But there are some time-honored, irrefutable truths for human beings, men and women, and the feminist movement and all of liberalism has spent the last 40 years trying to change them. They have taken what is basic human nature and they've found out that they're not happy with what nature bequeathed to them. So they have embarked on this crusade to reverse and change basic human nature. You can't.

You can artificially turn guys into wusses for a while, and you can see to it that no men want to go to college anymore, and you can see to it that there are more single mothers and single parents and so forth. You can make all that happen, but there's nothing good in it. Feminism has been a wrecking ball in most of American culture. Because feminism, in order to accomplish its aims, has necessarily set out to blame men for everything that women are unhappy about.

Then the biggest mistake the modern feminists made was trying to be like men. Dress like men, have careers like men, be stressed out like men. That's how modern feminism defined itself: Changing the way the world works, acquiring power and so forth. They wanted to join all-male clubs. They wanted to get in on all this action they thought they were being denied, and they did not establish a separate identity for women.

They simply tried to become men. It's one of the biggest mistakes of the modern feminist movement, if you ask me. We're living with the results of this, and it's not good. It's not good for anybody, and Camille Paglia tackles it head on. I mean, it's amazing. It's an amazing piece. I wish I could have time actually to read the whole thing, but I don't (and I can't, obviously), but it is in TIME magazine.

:biotruths:

Here's the article he referenced, by the way.

http://ideas.time.com/2013/12/16/its-a-mans-world-and-it-always-will-be/print/

It's like 500 words. Too long for Rush to completely read.

Limbaugh's epic :biotruths:
This is amazing considering he was ragging on TIME Magazine as your typical leftist rag not but 48 hours ago because it chose Pope Francis as Man of the Year:

Rush Limbaugh, Dec 16, 2013 posted:

You can be the biggest leftist, socialist, communist in the world, but if you're pro-life, you don't get a ticket into their little tent. And yet they have embraced, they have honored, they have bestowed upon one of their highest awards, the Man of the Year, TIME Magazine representing the Democrat Party, representing the Obama administration, representing all of the worldwide left, TIME Magazine, Man of the Year, Pope Francis. A man who is opposed to the main thing they believe in, abortion, opposed to the second biggest thing they believe in, gay marriage. And yet they have honored him. Why? All because I, El Rushbo, who they despise apparently even more, deigned to be critical of the pope's criticism of capitalism. And that made them think that he was an ally of theirs.

As Mr. Snerdley just said, "The Lord works in mysterious ways."
By Limbaugh's own logic that means everything printed in it is false because it fits into the dreaded mainstream media complex he rants about every single broadcast he makes. In reality, he found something that agreed with his worldview and dispensed it to his audience who don't see any contradiction at all as to his choice of sources.

I've heard that the Capitalism games have actually been used by business schools. All told they're also actually pretty drat good games if you're into business sims.

All told though, I'm pretty sure Rush and your typical GOP shills would fail horribly at them and scream about it being unfair.

I find the way Rush Limbaugh builds his arguments to be really tedious, and it always feels like he's just trying to run out the clock between breaks.

"I have a thing to tell you. In the beginning... oh wait, you know beginnings... they're things like at the start... like the big bang, which you know is just a bunch of liberal claptrap. The liberals created a story so fantastical because they had to compete with what we know happened from the Bible. Anyway..."

He goes on these ridiculous tangents based on his own dumb thoughts. The only sentences he ever says without stumbling over himself are ones he repeats twice in a row because he's so pleased with himself.

I want to speak to the person that does his transcripts to know how they numb their pain. They have to hammer his ridiculous barely-grammatical musings into something readable via text. That sounds like the worst job.
