But that was back when mom was a liberal. And I’ve watched most of my life while I decided I could “do without” or “didn’t need something” my peers with a more republican upbringing were using my naïveté to my disadvantage.

Of course now moms a trumper.

Great pain and suffering, in spite of his $600 million

Besides, why should Limbaugh be spared something that affects millions?

12. This is something society's overlords have known since time immemorial.

There is no hell. Yet if they can convince the vast unwashed that there is and there is an eternal punishment for bad deeds in life, it serves two purposes:

1) It keeps the vast unwashed pre-occupied with their own eternal salvation. and therefore:
2) The vast unwashed will let the "eternal punishment" take care of those who have really fucked up their lives, the overlords. Thus the overlords can escape the temporal punishment they so richly deserve. Without fear of temporal or real punishment the overlords can treat the vast unwashed with real disdain and dismissiveness.

In Limpy's case I say, as you see, so shall you reap. He fought hard to cause pain and violence, hate and divisiveness among those he scorned. May it come back to visit him in this life, Especially since we have no proof or guarantee that there is an afterlife or hell where due punishment will be meted out.

Be really nice if the next president could rescind that medal of freedom and restore that award to its real meaning. Rescind it posthumously if necessary.

I am going to have to copy what I wrote, I may need it some time and I doubt I could ever write it so well again.

So he can see what he has wrought, and watch it all fall to pieces.
