Queer Eye for the Straight Guy vs limbaugh
One is positive and entertaining and educational and strives to help others. The other is fueled only by hate.

One asks can we help. The other states, fuck you help your self.

One provides useful everyday advice. The other offers mind candy for the religiously insane.

One is decidedly liberal. The other is undoubtedly conservative.

I report, you decide.

1. Rush is not conservative. He is radical, or reactionary.
I really hate the way the right wing has bastardized the use of a good word like "conservative." It does mean one who advocates conserving, right? From what I've seen, Rush's life is nothing but excess, as he promotes the most profligate Republican party to exist since heaven knows when.

But I know what you mean ...

5. I think it is very important
that linkage be maintained between the likes of limbaugh and "conservative." I recall being bastardized and demonized in late 2002 and early 2003 for my opposition to going to war in Iraq. I was a fucking american hating liberal (even though I spent 24 years in uniform and served in a combat zone.) "Conservatives" have pissed me off and I intend to undo their lies that link "conservative" with "Values" and "morality." They are lying scum of the earth.

3. re
I think that show is great.

That's one of the few shows i've seen showing gay people in a positive light. They are the heroes of the show. They go around helping people feel good about themselves. What's not to like about that.

Liberals want to push people up. Conservatives want to keep people down.

4. I love the QE boys.
I took a few minutes to research their bio's and they all have very impressive backgrounds and credentials. And not one drug addict in the bunch. Can't say that about the psycho loudmouth.
