You know, I have been watching this whole Rush Limbaugh, “I want the president to fail.” soap opera for a while and I find it kind of amusing. Amusing because liberals just do get it and I believe at the end of the day, it’s going to backfire on them.
First of all, the whole ‘I want the president to fail’ thing is only part of a soundbite. If you were to listen to the original commentary; Rush believes that the president is moving towards socialism and on a mission to destroy capitalism and if this is the case, he (Rush Limbaugh) wants him to fail! Do I agree with him? Yes, I do! Why? Well, I too believe in a free market and capitalism. A free market and capitalism is the reason why the United States of America is recorded in history books as the fastest growing and most successful country on the planet! Do we have flaws? Well of course we do but America is a country that is GOOD at the heart! And the idea of tearing down what made this country a success because we’ve run into some tough times, to me is kind of loony. But that’s not my reason for writing this.
The other day RNC Chairman Michael Steele appeared on D.L Hughley’s show on CNN and it was a setup if I ever seen one. The move by D.L. was typical (not brilliant) but Chairman Steele never seen it coming and fell right into his trap! Mr. Hughley said to Chairman Steele that Rush Limbaugh is the “de facto” leader of the Republican Party and Steele instantly responded by saying, “No he’s not! I’m the de facto leader…”
Now, what was D.L.’s intent? It was to get up under Steele’s skin by putting Rush above him and to get Steele to become defensive because of the comment and defend himself by saying something bad about Rush! D.L. Hughley’s plan was to put the two most powerful people in the Republican Party against each other to make it appear as if the Republican Party was in-fighting and falling part! Well…it ALMOST worked but Mr. Steele and Rush Limbaugh outsmarted the Democrats and managed to p*ssed them off!
They squashed the issue almost instantly and Chairman Steele apologized to Limbaugh…no harm, no foul! This was not part of their (Democrats) plan because based on their “psyche”, when you offend or attempt to offend, you DO NOT APOLOGIZE! This took them out of their element because liberals and Democrats are unapologetic (for the most part), so they devised a new plan. Start a website to try and show that Rush is the leader of the Republican Party and at the same time make, Michael Steele look weak! Well…I hate to break it to you, but the strategy is weak and not well thought out.
Since I am the ONE and ONLY Hip-Hop Conservative, let me break this down for you! Here’s the scenario. You have Roc-A-Fella Records (The Republican Party)…Hey Jay-Z, don’t get mad because I referred to the “Roc” as the Republican Party, just using it for the example! Okay…you have Roc-A-Fella Records and then you have Murder, Inc. Records (Democrats). They are competing against each other. Now Murder, Inc. doesn’t have as much talent as Roc-A-Fella but they are doing well. You want to eliminate your completion but you can’t do it through music, so you go biblical on their behinds. Every city or house divided against itself cannot stand – Matthew 12:25
Murder, Inc. gets one of their operatives to interview the president of Roc-A-Fella Records (Damon Dash) and in the interview the operative states that Jay-Z (not Damon Dash) is the “de facto” leader of Roc-A-Fella Records! What does this do? It stimulates the ego! If you are the president and someone implies that you are not, this (most of the time) causes anger and irritation, so instinctively you defend your position and you sternly respond by saying, “I am the president! I am the big dawg…I run the show and without me there would be no Jay-Z!”
After the interview, you think about what just took place. You publicly dissed your top artist, all for the sake of your ego. Think about it…as president of the record company, people don’t see you; they see and buy your product. Jay-Z is a double/triple platinum selling artist (Jay, I know you are more than just an artist, this is just a scenario), so when they think of Roc-A-Fella Records they think of Jay-Z and because he is so popular and he’s bringing in millions of dollars, some people WILL refer to him as the leader! Why? Because it is Jay-Z’s music bringing in the bucks! So for the sake of unity and the company, you apologize to Jay-Z.
Rush Limbaugh is the “Jay-Z” of the talk radio world. Michael Steele is Damon Dash. They are both on the same team but Michael Steele runs the operation behind the scenes, heck most people don’t even know who heads the RNC or the DNC half the time anyway! Rush Limbaugh has 20 million plus listeners (no one even comes close to that) and about 30 million more embrace his views. That’s 50 million people, so yeah he’s selling the product and he leads, as far as selling the product, so after you do the math, RUSH LIMBAUGH LEADS THE PARTY! Figuratively speaking! And that’s not to knock Chairman Steele, it’s just a numbers game and Steele being a smart man understood this, set his ego aside and for the sake of the party (no division), he promptly corrected the mistake. Even Jesse “I’ll cut your nuts off” Jackson understands for the sake of the party, which is why he apologized for his comment about Barack Obama. Why did Jesse apologize? He didn’t have to? It’s all about the game and only an “ego-tripper” would not understand!
So to the Democrats! Ugh…foiled again!
