I'm pretty sure the previous ones have all been pretty standard shoot mans for America games. But given how AAA studios work this could at least constitute a sign that what the Tea Party represents is something that most FPS buyers can caricature into an easily dispatched Other much like Nazis, al Qaeda members, and so on.

I think I saw a Rainbow Six trailer that kinda had that sound to it (or at least, Occupy was the in thing so they threw that on top of whatever else was going on) but I can't remember if the associated game ever got released.

Three easiest way to lure Millennials to your party?

1.) Focus on the unemployment numbers, and put up sob stories about how recent College Graduates are struggling to find work.
2.) Promise to fix the Student Loan problems many are facing with legislation. Ramble on about how it will help save the economy in many aspects. Create a very large forgiveness act for anyone with a Student Loan debt of any kid.
3.) Demonize the NSA, DHS and spying.

There. You focus on those three tenets? You got a shot. Of course they won't do that though.

Student loan forgiveness actually runs into the "Federal debt" types so that wouldn't work either.

RUSH: Here A.J. in Chicago. Hi, A.J. Welcome to the program.

CALLER: (badly garbled) Hello. How are you?

RUSH: Well, A.J., I'm pretty good.

CALLER: I'm on the Rush Limbaugh Show. This is my first address to the nation, as a famous man once said at CPAC.

RUSH: As a famous...?

CALLER: ...man once said that CPAC.

RUSH: I can't understand what he's saying. What's he saying?

CALLER: This is my first address to the nation.

RUSH: Oh, as a caller, this is your first address. Well, that's not what callers do. Callers don't get to address the nation on this program.

CALLER: Well (unintelligible), I have a small bone to pick with you, Rush.

RUSH: (muffled mumbling) "What are you saying, A.J.? I can't understand a word you're saying! I'm sorry, I can't understand, A.J. I don't want to talk to you anymore, A.J. I just don't want to talk to you." Our transcription couldn't keep up with him. I don't know. I could not understand what he was saying. To the audio sound bites we go. No, I know what he was going to say. I'll tell you what he was gonna say. I didn't have the patience to stick with it.

I'll tell you what he told Snerdley. He was going to say in his first address to the nation that since I "never" criticized George Bush's spending that I'm not a real conservative; I'm not a legitimate conservative. That's what he wanted to say. Where do you take that? "Okay, A.J., when did you last beat your wife?" You know, where do you go with that? Sit here and document for him all the times I criticized Bush?

Recount all the times I criticized Bush for a whole host of things, for not responding to the Democrats, for creating a brand-new entitlement? What is that, if that's not criticizing Bush for spending? Medicare Part B! I can't tell you the number of times I had emissaries from the Bush administration call me and come down here trying to get my mind right. Immigration?

They sent old Tom DeLay! They had him call me. "You're understanding this wrong, Medicare Part B."

I said, "Tom, it looks like it's a brand-new entitlement. It's just not what Republicans do."

"It's not! It's market based. It's private sector."

"It's the federal government mandating it, Tom! It's a new entitlement. This is not what we do."

Well, I'd just as soon tell you that rather than try to muddle through (muffled mumbling). It sounded like he stars on The Bridge. No offense, A.J. It was your phone line. It wasn't you.

quote:

RUSH: Here is Russ in Oakdale, California. I'm glad you waited, sir. Welcome to the program.

CALLER: Thank you, Rush. What an honor.

RUSH: Thank you.

CALLER: Before I get to my point, your story about the Missouri State Police reminded me in the early seventies. My buddy and I were riding in the car with his parents in Northern California -- which you know a lot about Northern California.

RUSH: Northern California. Are you all the way up in, "Hum."

CALLER: Humboldt, up that area.

RUSH: Yeah, Humboldt County?

CALLER: And (unintelligible) was following us, and we pulled over, and he got out and started yelling at my friend's mom, and we we're like, "What's going on?" Until I looked at the bumper. She had a bumper sticker on her car that said, "If you think the police are bad, next time you need help call a hippie."

RUSH: (chuckling)

CALLER: Anyway, he took offense to that. But the reason I called, I don't know if you're aware of what happened a couple of weeks ago in Stockton, California, a few miles south of your home city -- adopted home city -- of Sacramento.

RUSH: Stockton. What happened at Stockton?

CALLER: They had a 60 minute, over 60 minute running gun battle with three gang members attempted to rob a bank. They took hostages. One of the hostages unfortunately ended up succumbing to gunshot wounds. They kicked two of the hostages out of the car, and they're still looking for the driver of the person who dropped him off at the bank. So when these people talk about how the police don't need this, from my understanding they shot the tires out of the armored vehicle, which couldn't keep up with the rest of the vehicles. Research how many of those police vehicles had bullet holes from the AK-47s, these robbers were using.

RUSH: See, that's the point. I'm glad -- and if I'd heard, I don't recall these details about Stockton. But I do remember the California bank robbery in the nineties. It's more than one story where the bad guys had military-grade weapons, and the cops are out there with peashooter pistols, and they're just totally overpowered. It brought about a debate over, "Are the cops sufficiently armed?"

You had people saying, "Yes, they don't need any bigger pistols than what they've got, I don't care what the bad guys have 'cause if you give the cops any bigger weapons it's gonna become a police state," and so forth. Other people said, "If you don't let the cops arms themselves in ways where they can stay equal, then you're not gonna have law enforcement even have a chance."

It was a really high-pitched debate, but it's the reason why police departments in certain cities have leftover, unused military-grade equipment. But, of course, here comes the media feeding the notion that the only reason that certain police departments have those kinds of weapons and that kind of equipment is because theory racist and because it's assume that minorities in these towns are gonna require that level of armament to be kept in control.

It's bogus, but it doesn't matter because you can't make them believe the truth. They have been lied to about so much for so long that they believe it all. I mean, we actually had John Lewis call for martial law in Ferguson! He wanted Obama or somebody to declare martial law, and that's not the solution to this. The solution to things like this is something that'll never happen because nobody could get away with saying it.

Nobody could get away with suggesting it.

The reason they can't get away with suggesting it is that nobody can correctly identify the root problem. The blame, the root problem is: America is racist. The root problem is America is bigoted and racist no matter what steps have been taken. No matter the fact that we've elected the first African-American president, no matter that we've had years of affirmative action.

No matter what we do as a remedy, America is still racist. We may as well still have Bull Connor and the fire hoses and the dogs and all that -- which, again, I remind everybody that was all Democrats doing that. But the point is progress is not permitted to be recorded. So you can't ever identified the root problem, you can't ever get down and have the actual remedy addressed or even spoken.

Because it assigns blame where people do not think the blame ought to go. So we have to keep putting up with it in event after event, and it just becomes something that becomes part of the American fabric: Every now and then we're gonna have race riots, every now and then we're gonna have this or that, and we'll just do our best with them when they happen, and we'll try to get through it and we move on.

We just think it's part of our heritage that we must have these things and put up with 'em and so forth -- and that's a defeatist attitude, in my humble opinion.

If you removed the student loan debt out of the equation, would that not help things quite a bit? Even if one is still working at McDonalds due to not finding a job in their field by default they're not stuck paying an unneeded "Tax" to some large bank. Thus they're able to use money on actual products that could help spurn economic growth.

It's borderline republican, but it really makes no logical sense to "tax" those who are making minimum wage or low income. Which is exactly what those things do. (Except it's in fact worse than a tax because at least tax dollars go to a public good.).
